Judge Hawkins handed down a 'decision this week in favor of John Taylor against the Gallic brothers of Pershing county, disregarding, an earlier verdict rendered by a jury in favor of the Gallio brothers.

The verdict followed a move by N. J. Berry, Reno attorney for Taylor who made a motion to disregard the jury 'verdict on the grounds that the case was a suit in equity. In making his decision. Judge Hawkins said that he knew of no law which bound a court of equity to follow the decisions of a jury in a.

case in equity. The suit involved water rights on Coyote creek, claimed by both parties. The court decided that since Taylor had watered his sheep on the 'creek since 1887, he had priority rights.

house mittee on public lands, at Washing- i-tbn, D. according to word re- -ceived here yesterday. The. Colton bill would authorize the secretary of the interior to create community and regional grazing districts on the public domain, to adopt rules for their use and establish fees for all grazers usirig 'the grazing districts. -Malone said that Nevada does opt object to other "states, "where land values justify it, setting up a rental system such as might be done un- ider the Colton bill." but added that areas of comparatively i small value, where ranch values have been built up on the use of the range, it would seem, unwise--at the present time to set up a new system of charges." "Nevada will favor any systehi of range control that recognizes the right of customary users of such ranges to control their use through associations or districts not create; any new expense," Male-He stated.

i Saturday, sponsored by the Reno E. Norris, both of Sacramento, Cal. said that the Nevada range 'system, which is working successfully now, conforms with. $he English common law in recognizing the rights of users of the. public lands, and that the present system is the result-of the development pf the livestock industry for 75 years and should not be upset by any new legislation.

Senator Tasker Oddie said yesterday that the Colton bill could not be enacted at.this session of and added that if.it.is.passed jby the it will be held up ithe seriate. of the mysteries in cigarette advertising has been the apparent fear of the word "inhale." It seems rather foolish--for everybody inhales--whether they realize it or every smoker breathes in some part of the smoke he orshe draws of a cigarette. Think, then, how important it is to be certain that your cigarette smoke is pore and clean--to be sure that you don't inhale certain impurities. "Do you inhale? Lucky Strike "has dared to raise this vital question because when you smoke Luckies your delicate membranes get the protection no other cigarette affords. All other methods have been made old-fashioned by Luckies' famous purifying process.

Luckies created that process. Only Luckies have it! Do you inhale? Of course you do! So truly this message is for you. Year Troat Protection against irritation against cough tt K.
