Stage Line Changes

Geo Barton has purchased the
Pioneer line of stages and will here
after run the stage business on this
line by himself. He has been obliged
by the stringency of the times and
tie high price of feed, to slightly
raise the fair, as will be seen by re-
ference to his time table in another
column, but he will haul passengers
just as advertised, and put them
through on time. There will, how
ever, be no further increase, as he
intends to live and let live. The
same attention to parcels and pack
ages will be given as heretofore, and
politeness and accommodation will be
the motto of the line.

A Retail Confidence Man.

Several of our merchant were
taken in on last Monday by an Ital-
ian who represented himself as a
workman on the Italian ranch a lew
miles below here. His operations
were on small scale, but a number
Of fish bit at his bait, and he went
out of town with enough money to
start a good sized hand organ and
monkey show, or fair to medium
peanut stand. His method was to
represent that he had been sent in
from the ranch on an errand, and
had not quite enough money to pur-
chase what was needed. His most
profitable story was plausible ac-
count of sick horse, and medicine
needed, on which he gathered in sew
eral dollars in sums of SOC and 81 at
a time. There is much wrath, not
for the amount lost, but tor the self
respect which is wounded at the
idea that ranchers helper should
be cute enough to victimize the
wide awake merchants of the Coun-
ty seat.

Interesting.

The Carson Times drops into arith-
metlc as follows: ga new mode
of computing interest at six per
cent. has been published, which APP
pears simple. Multiply any given
number of dollars by the number of
days of interest required, separate
the right hand figure and divide by
six, the result is the true interest for
such sum for such number of days
at SIX per cent. This rule is so sim
Pile and so true, according to all bus
mess usages, that every banker, mer-
chant, broker and clerk should post
it up for reference and use. There
beng no such thing as fractions in
it, there is scarcely any liability to
mistake or error. BY no arithmet-
ical process can such desirable infor-
nation be obtained with so few fig
ures."
There is scarcely broker or bus
mess man in the United States who
has not been using the above rule
for the last twenty years, If he has
been in business that long.

Dayton School Picnic.

There will be school picnic at
Buckland's ranch next Saturday.
The regular train will take the cars
containing the picnic party, and re-
turn with them in the evening. The
picnic is for the benefit of the school
children, who will both get a ride
on the cars, something new to most
of them, and have good time in
the country, but all who wish to go
are cordially invited, especially par
ents and relatives af the children.
Buckland's ranch is an excellent
place for a picnic as there is plenty
of grass and shade, and an abund-
ance of room. The old people who
go will not regret it, as a splendid
time can be confidently expected.
Every preparation will be made to
insure the safety and comfort of those
IN attendance. Tickets for the round
trip 80 cents.

1t Looks That Way.

The star gazers have been predict
ing that troublous times were ahead,
and those who bought pools on the
main event are beginning to think
they will win. Up to the present
time they have won each heat, and
it is reasonable to suppose that the
race has been fair, as there seems to
be no possibility of collision with
the managers of the planetary cours.

An Attempted Burglary.

On Sunday night last an attempt
was made to break into the store of
NJ. Meyer, on the corner of Pike and
Main streets. The effort of the thief
or thieves was directed against the
iron door in the rear of the building.
The stone work on either side of the
door had been picked out so as to
allow hand to reach in and move
the bar, but in one place the
hole made was too high, and in an
other too low. 1t could be seen that
bar had been deserted in the crack
between the iron and the wall and
an effort made to pry the door off its
hinges or pull the hinges out. There
IS no suspicion as to the parties but
from the footprints found in the
yard it is pretty certain that there
were at least two engaged in the OPP
Grafton. 1t may not be gratifying
to the intending burglars to learn
that by an oversight the front door
was not locked that night, and an
easy and speedy entrance could have
been effected by merely turn
ing the mob.

Pizen Switch Ahead.

Tie first side saddle bicycle ever
brought to the coast came to Dayton
yesterday, consigned to j. A. Bon
ham, and was by him forwarded to
II. G. Lenison, a wealthy rancher
living near P.zen Switch. This
latest indication Of the progress of
vomen's rights is almost exactly like
the ordinary bicycle used by gentle
men, the only difference being that
there is only one pedal, that on the
left hand Cor FOOT side. The side
saddle is merely miniature copy
of the regular side saddle used by
ladies' on flesh and blood horse. On
the right side of the machine are
two tenders which swing out when
the vilocIpede leans in that direction,
and prevent fall on that side. The
guide lever is on the right also, and
the inventor claims that in case of a
header the lady rider is in less dan
ger than a gentleman, as her feet are
together and there is no crossbar as
on a gentleman's bicycle to prevent
a spring to the ground. Mr.. Lenison
sent for it for his daughter to ride to
school on. Verify Mason Valley is
coming to the front. 1t was once
considered as somewhat behind the
rest of the world in the adornments,
refinements and comforts of civil
cation, but during the last year great
Improvements have been made. Ne
vada City, a comparatively small
inland town, was the first in Califor-
mia to adopt the electric light, and
it would not be surprising if Pizen
Switch should take the lead in Ne
vada. Her citizens are waking up
and supplying themselves with the
latest and newest of everything.

his cane, and the jury decided that
it was done in self defense, and it

Hunting Case Lost.

Mr.. WOODBURY. lost a valuable
hunting box either in Dayton or on
the road between Empire and this
place, last Wednesday. He saw it
it on the blackboard at Empire and
missed it while at the blacksmith
shop here. 1t is square red leather
box, about foot high, with silver
plate on the top. The box was prob
ably taken from the buckwagon
while IN Dayton, as an acquaintance
rode behind him on horseback all
the way from Empire, and would
have been almost certain to see
it had it fallen off.

Family Disturbance at the Mound
House.

Two ladies at the Mound House
have not been living on the terms of
friendly intimacy so much to be de-
sired amongst neighbors in a small
place. 1t appears that one is jealous
of the attentions paid by her hus-
band to the other, and about two
weeks ago, according to one side of
the story, went to her rivals home
and fired a pistol and threw billet
of wood through the window. She
denies that she did the shooting, but
the shooting occurred, and the par
ties of the other part earnestly insist
that she did it. At that time the
matter was hushed up, and the do
nestle relations of the two families
promised to again assume tranquil
aspect, but on last Friday night an
other pistol shot was fired, this time
by the other lady. Now the party
of the first part accuses her Of shoot
ing at her intentionally, and missing
her by accident, while the last per-
former on the revolver positively as
serts that the pistol went off accident
ally. The people engaged in this
QUARREL are not of the class usually
engaged in such affairs, and it conse-
quently causes considerable talk
among the gossips. The friends of
both parties now hope there will be
no more of it, and unless there is
repetition and some blood shed the
names will be withheld.

A Young ImpOstOr.
soon.

For some time young girl giving
her name as Emma Reese, has been
imposing on the charity of the peo-
pie of Dayton by representing her
self as the daughter of widow in
American Ravine who lost her hus
band few months ago in Leadville,
and who shortly afterwards broke
her leg. The girl represented her
self as the oldest of five children,
being herself only eleven years of
age. She exhibited a letter of rec
ommendation from Gov. Kinkead
probably forged) and received at
different times contributions amount :
ing to a considerable sum. On
Wednesday two ladies moved by her
pitiful story, concluded to take her
home in buggy and sec what they
could do for the relief of the mother.
The girl went along quietly until
they arrived at the American Ravine
road, where she jumped out and ran
away. She was hunted up, and it
was ascertained that her right name
is Riecha Merceda, and that her
parents reside in Virginia and are i'll
no need of assistance, but send the
girl out on her begging errands.
The Storey county authorities should
attend to their case.

A Hard Blow.

The wind blew so hard on Mon
day that it DETECTED the rays of light.
This was discovered by observing
that the shadows cast by immovable
objects vibrated on the ground. At
first it was supposed that a post,
firmly sunk in the ground, was
shaken, but it was soon noticed that
when the wind blew hardest the
shadow moved in contrary direc-
ton, which showed that the rays
were bent by the wind before they
struck the post.

For few days after the neighbor-

Dayton contained a large floating

might be tolerated, even welcomed.
