An important and interesting work Is
being done by the Bnreanof Ethnology
in collecting and publishing the vocabn-

is common means Of communication

the most remarkable contributions to

A Carson Bred Horse.

Iroquois, the winner of the Derby
race and 100000 for his owner,
Pierre Lorillard, traces his pedigree
to Carson. His grandsire lived on a
ranch at the outskirts Of the city eigh-
teen years ago, and was called Bald
Pete. John Mitchell, an old rancher,
is authority for the statement. Mitchell
owned the stallion in question, and sold
him for $4,000. 1t may be we'll be
stated right here, however, that no
horse ever achieved any notoriety as a
trotter or runner that Mitchell did not
come to the APPEAL office and claim
some connection with the raising.

A chinan.n Bea,. His whit. wife.

Yesterday afternoon "Chinese Harry"
the Chinaman who has a white wife,
was arrested for assault and battery,
having beaten his better half within an
inch of her life. This couple came to
Carson about two months ago and set
tied in the chinese quarter. For awhile
they appeared to live happily together,
and the woman was credited with boss
ing the house. Yesterday it is alleged
that she gave him severe scolding, at
which he grabbed stick of stovewood
and administered horrible beating.
Her outcries aroused those in the vicin-
ity, and several who rushed in, inter-
fered and saved her life. Her face was
a mass Of bruises, her head was cut in
five or six places, and her body black
and blue. She was removed from the
scene of the beating and taken to Glenn
Berry's house, where she is now being
cared for. Her husband is in Jail, and
the case will come up before Judge
Cary to-day. -.. =--s....-.

their goods where they can obtain the
best at the fairest prices.-.Sdcranaento

If this argument holds good, it might
be better policy still to send to New York
or Chicago for the paint. The matter
Of few hundred pounds Of paint is not
much, but the principle involved is
worth discussing. The money paid the
State officials comes directly from the
pockets of the citizens of Nevada who
pay their taxes in the State. There are
men doing business in Carson, investing
large capital in enterprise and helping
to support the State government. 1t Is
poor encouragement when the State
officials send to California for goods
which can be procured very nearly as
cheaply in Carson. This policy is not
confined to any particular place; it is
practiced all over the city. People
send abroad to save 25 cents on few
dry goods and wait thirty days to get
them. There is no money in this sort
of thing. 1t is impOlitic and picayunish
to the last degree. A clothing merchant
remarked yesterday that he could name
a dozen men who owed him for clothes
and yet sent to Rockford, ILL.,, and paid
cash for what they wear. AS long as
these men could get credit at home
they purchased freely, but when it
comes to cash transactions they send
abroad. Numbers of families send to
California for groceries, not realizing
that when they come to settle freight
and express charges they save but a
few cents. If this sort of policy is kept
up Carson will be a howing wilderness
in few years. a place where you
make your money is a good enough
place to spend it.
