MOURNING DOVE HUNTERS COME HOME MOURNING Three upders Wen went, out Wednesday to try for a limit of mourning . doves They came back with nine doves, and the hunters were doing the mourning. For all three and a distinguished trio at that—Sheriff Carl Tobiassen, Deputy Bill Wood and County Clerk MeCormack—had forgotten their plugs. No, gentle reader, not. their spark plugs, but pieces of wood of the size and shape of a shotgun cartidge to fit into the magazine of a repeating shotgun. Uncle Samuel has recently made a new rule about shotgun equipment for those hunting migratory fowl. To cut down the number of available shots that the huntef may have in his magazine the plug was prescribed; this in order te-.give more birds a whance to get away. And so while these enthusiastic sportsmen were innocently banging away, along came a game warden, and said: “‘let’s see these here guns of your’n.’”’ And each man’s gun was duly inspected and found minus a plug. “Sorry boys, etc. ete.’’ It happened in Yuba county and the phone wires were burned up trying to locate Earl Hiscox, game warden in Nevada County. But he was out Jooking for fish dynamiters and not to be reached. So there thhey were left to the tender mercies of a strange, hard boiled game warden.

The ‘Water Front Crowd” has jcided to name Fred Sauvee’s ung ducklings which have grown in two months to tbe larger than their mother. Securing eggs from his neighbor, John Tognarelli, Mr. Sauvee set them under his famous crippled duck which has remained in a little “Spot near the Union Ice Company plant on Deer-Creek for the last two years. Two. eggs of the five hatched and they are beauties sailing up and down the stream with their mother they are a delight to see and it is hoped huntters will refrain from. killing them. They always appear at feeding time to be fed near the chickens. Mr. Sauvee gives them a generous supply of grain. Dick. Lane and his old ‘‘water front’? gang; after canvassing the neighborhood, have decided:’to call them Fred Sauvee and Ed Eide re gardless of sex.

Childs who peo peceatls appeared before the city coucil and objectto. paying the license fee for conducting a meat market in this city, was. arrested Wednesday on a complaint charging him with violating the city ordinance requiring the inwell populated. The Northegners were ruthless, merciless, if you like, and greedy. They made room for themselves in Italy in many places: by killing off the population. Japan is doing exactly that in the! crowded populous cities of China. Gallant warriors, chivalrous knights, riding high and handsome in the ‘skies are killing women and little children in the cities below. You may be right, you and others who declare our own boys are too precious to send to war to defend millions of Chinese against other millions of Japanese. God knows that China has more men to fight with than we have, and that: China easily outnumbers the Japanese six to one. Probably you are right. But my blood boils when I think of the inhuman scourge, the awful injustice to the Chinese people. : : “To my mind the time is not far away when the three great democracies of the world, England, France and the United States will be forced to band together not only to defend democracy, but to put a stop to na-; tional piracies. If those three agreed that they would help to defend any nation in the world against aggression, such as that Ethiopia suffered and China is now undergoing, there “would be no more wars. Some group of nations in this world must eventually act to enforce peace. Of course to my mind, there is only one group, who see nearly eye for eye in matters affecting international law. The group now comprises only the three great democracies. “While I have sometimes thought that isolation might be the ideal refuge of the United States, I am not sure that we could erect barriers and live behind them in a world so linked together as the world is today.

HIGHGRADING Allegedly caught in the act of smuggling high grade gold ore out the New Brunswick mine Phillip Casci of Nevada City and Ray Prive! of Grass Valley were arrested Wed. nesday morning by George F. Howe, . nightwatchman at the mine and) brought to. the Nevada county jail. . After spending the night there bail . was fixed at $1,000 each. Casci was! released yesterday after, producing . bail. . Howe stated that he saw one of the men throw two cans into the garbage barrel at the mine and’ later Price, after going through the dry, and taking his shower, retrieved the cans, which he dropped into Casci’s car and they started to drive away. Howe stopped them and searched the car, finding the two cans in the car, He then arrested them. The accused men account for the finding of the ore by the statement that they saw a mark on timber, apparently made iby holding a carbide lamp against it. Reaching behind the timber the two cans containing the high grade ore were found. Mine officials estimate the value of the ore at about $1000. ‘Cascj is driver of the motor car on the ore train in fhe mine and Price is his swamper, CRASH KILLINGS RESULT IN SUIT .

Ott was cheduled to go on the witness stand today as the defense’ses of the county will, it is pateavated . last witness. exceed $12,500,000, an increase of . Nihell admitted he had purchased ‘gold from “snipers’’ and others in small lots—some as little as 25 cents melting them into bars and turning them into the mint here under his own name. This, the government, contends, is inviolation of the act in that the accompanying affidavits did not state the names of the persons by whom the gold actually was mined. ' “It is. the general practice among licensed gold buyers,’’ Nihell declared, “They do‘not take the trouble to record the name of each person from whom they buy gold. They simply collect enough gold to make up a small bar and tnen turn it in under their own names. “Some of it may have been obtained from children who had picked up a few flakes. There never was . any idea in my mind to conceal anything from the government.” “Nor to defraud anybody?’ inquired George Haus, the defense attorney. “No,’’ Nihell answered, ‘‘Nobody.’’ A part of the gold turned in by 'Nihell under his affidavit of having beenn ‘‘sniped’’ by shimself actually came from his wife’s trunk where ‘he found it ‘after her death, he ad. mitted while. on the stand, “She. worked a hoist at my mine,” . Nviell explained, “When I came \erans some especially rich pieces of quartz I gave them to her. I found i them in her trunk after she died in-1933.” Nihell and Ott maintained adjoining offices in Nevada City, Ott assaying the gold bought under Nihell’s license. While the two were ‘indicted by the federal grand jury in, March with several other persons charged with highgrading, there is no issue in the current trial that the gold sold by Nihell to the mint was stolen.

Ott was cheduled to go on the witness stand today as the defense’ses of the county will, it is pateavated . last witness. exceed $12,500,000, an increase of . Nihell admitted he had purchased ‘gold from “snipers’’ and others in small lots—some as little as 25 cents melting them into bars and turning them into the mint here under his own name. This, the government, contends, is inviolation of the act in that the accompanying affidavits did not state the names of the persons by whom the gold actually was mined. ' “It is. the general practice among licensed gold buyers,’’ Nihell declared, “They do‘not take the trouble to record the name of each person from whom they buy gold. They simply collect enough gold to make up a small bar and tnen turn it in under their own names. “Some of it may have been obtained from children who had picked up a few flakes. There never was . any idea in my mind to conceal anything from the government.” “Nor to defraud anybody?’ inquired George Haus, the defense attorney. “No,’’ Nihell answered, ‘‘Nobody.’’ A part of the gold turned in by 'Nihell under his affidavit of having beenn ‘‘sniped’’ by shimself actually came from his wife’s trunk where ‘he found it ‘after her death, he ad. mitted while. on the stand, “She. worked a hoist at my mine,” . Nviell explained, “When I came \erans some especially rich pieces of quartz I gave them to her. I found i them in her trunk after she died in-1933.” Nihell and Ott maintained adjoining offices in Nevada City, Ott assaying the gold bought under Nihell’s license. While the two were ‘indicted by the federal grand jury in, March with several other persons charged with highgrading, there is no issue in the current trial that the gold sold by Nihell to the mint was stolen.
