been called to number of children, who
live in the neighborhood of the divide at
the head of Meadow Valley street. Their
actions. if not stopped. will probably
end in the death of several of them, and
also in running the Central Nevada train
off the track. They are in the habit of
misplacing the switch and every time
train passes that portion of the road it
has to be stopped and one of the bands
get off to see If the switch is right. A
number OF empty cars are generally left
at the ore dump at that end OF the track
and several boys will uncouple car and
amuse themselves by riding each other.
There is no harm in this amusement,
only that several times they have come
to the point where the track commences
the down grade and the car has been
| stopped by men who accidentally came
along at the right time. Should the car
| once start to descend the grade it would
run very swiftly TO Ham Lights station.
| distance of about seven miles, if it kept
the track, but as the curves are very short
| the chances are ten to one that the car
would jump the track and roll down the
hill and the boys get seriously injured. if
not killed We give this warning to par
ents that they may look out for their
| children.

On THE WAR.PATH.--On Sunday an In
dian. in very drunken condition, was
arrested and placed in the Jail. Before
his arrest he drew knife and made two
passes at brother Lo, which were
warded off, and the attacking party felled
to the ground. Some trouble was ex-
perienced in conveying the rascal to Jail,
for he acted just like white man under
similar circumstances. 1t ia the same old
story. They say white men furnish them
with whisky but refuse to tell who the
white men are. Won't some one put up
o job and earn the reward in such cases
made and provided by causing the ar.
rest and conviction of the sellers OF liquor
to Indians.
