The Cattle Disease.

It is thought that the rinderpest-feet
and mouth disease among cattle-which
now prevails ia Kansas, may be kept out
Of Nevada entirely. The disease seems TO
come from graded bulls. In importing
these great care should be used. Mr..
Miller, a prominent stockmsn, said to the
Reno Gazette that a law should be passed
either by each State or by the General
Government, which will authorize the
destruction Of all bands in which the dis
ease appears. He stated that Is years ago
he was operating in the stock business in
Australia. The rinderpest appeared in
several sections Of that country. The
stockmen organized much the same as the
Nevada Live Stock Association, petitioned
for Government protection. A law was
passed authorizing the destruction Of all
bands in which the disease appeared, and
the Government gave compensation out Of
q special fund, to the owner of the band,
the compensation being adjudged on an
equitable basis. He thinks some such
measure will have to be taken by all States
in which the disease appears, as there il
no other remedy, in his opinion.

ssTex.''

The following article from the Salt Lake
Tribune probably refers to ''Tex," who is
in the Elko Jail. The true name of
.'Tex" is not known here. He used to
make himself numerous" on the cattle
ranges in Eureka, Nevada, but had not
been seen thereabouts for two years and a
half until last Fall, when he came upon
the scene again. 1t should be added also
that he was suspected Of being an escaped
Jail bird. But this is the article referred
to:

%prisonment of the Utah Penitentisry for

escaped with Joseph Davis from the

the rife belonging to n OF the guards
while working Oh the farm, has been ar

but if tried and convicted there he may
not reach here till he has served out his
term in Nevada.

Frightful Encounter with n Maniac

F~rightful Encounter with n Maniac.
The Elko Independent gives An account
of the startling manner in which, on the
night of the Sd instant, Len Wines Of
Ruby Valley was attacked by a crazy man
on the emigrant train coming into Elko
from Halleck Station. Wines was asleep
in the caboose, and was aroused by the
cry of the conductor to see the maniac
standing over him and pointing a pistol at
hira. A scuffie ensued, and Len escaped
to q back car, whittier he was pursued by
the maniac, who, peering in, took two
shots at him. Then, seeing his aim had
missed, he tried to get in the car, when
another scuffle took place on the platform,
in which Wines was struck several blows
on the head from the pistol in his antago-
nist's hands, but succeeded, with the help
Of the conductor, who dealt the crazy man
q blow on the head with a poker, in
throwing him off the train. The maniac,
after roaming about in the sagebrush all
night, came into town the next morning,
armed with q co~upling-pin, but was cap
tured and Jailed. His name is J. L.
Brown, and he was on his way to Califor-
MIA from Arkansas with his wife and two
children. In his insanity he imagined
that Len Wines was the chief of q band Of
assassins who were after him to kill him.

Summing Up Of the SharOn-Hnl
Nastiness by Tyler and Barnes.

ESPECIAL TO THE sRHTINEL.l
SAN Francisco, March 10.-The Sharon
divorce case came up for hearing this
morning before Judge Sullivan. Tyler,
for the plaintiff, made the opening state
ment. in which he stated that he proposed
to show that the defendant proposed to
purchase plaintiffs person for a consider
alton, which offer was s~purned; that
their intimacy increased, which finally
led to q proposal and contamination Of
marriage by means Of a civil contract on
the 25th Of August, 1880; that she re-
received letters from Washington and
Virginia City addressed "My Dear Wife,"
that he returned and the relations Of
husband and wife were resumed, she stay
ing with him at nights and dining with
him in his private apartments; that she
received monthly the sum Of $500 for her
wifely expenses; that she went down to
Belmont and was cordially received by
Lady Hesketh, who took part in her re-
ception; that they went to the theater to-
gether, danced together and rode together,
and was introduced as his wife by him.
Tyler then concluded his statement, and
Barnes rose for the defendant. He
said: l take this occasion to indi-
cate the nature and character Of
the defendants proof. Barnes continued,
after reading the allegations of the answer:
Prior to August, 1880, defendant and
plaintiff never met. About that time she
presented herself at the Bank Of Califor-
mia for the ostensible purpose Of stock
buying; that she invited defendant to her
residence; that she went out with him
several times and he induced her to stop
at the Grand Hotel; that that was the ex-
tent OF their intercourse; that at his
daughters wedding she begged for an in
vitation, saying that she would be q marked
woman if she did not 60, as all the guests
at the hotel were going; that she visited
his rooms at the Palace at moon
venient hours and obtained keys from his
private boxes and riled them of their con-
tents, but when he discovered this he told
her he did not want anything more to do
with her; that she visited and paid large
sums Of money to fortune-tellers and
manufacturers OF love charms and inven-
tors of love powders and potions to catch
old men; that she was engaged to be mar
ried to Frederick Burchard; that she paid
his debts; that she dined at Manning's
frequently in questionable company; that
that was the conduct Of the 'wife Of Sena-
tor Sharon"

A woman Kills q wild Cat.

The Walker Lake Bulletin says: A wild
cat made himself too much at home last
week on the ranch of John Talardy, in
Fish Lake Valley. The dog was unable to
master it, and, in the absence of Mr..
Talardy, Mrs. Talardy went out with a gun
to kill the animal. She could not call the
dog off, and was afraid to shoot lest she
might hurt him. and, finding the gun use-
less, substituted a club. With this she
attacked the savage beast, and killed him
after q fierce struggle.

Termination of the Hog Suit.
The rather long and troublesome case of
RAines vs.. Ennor came to m end last
night, the jury bringing in q verdict for
the plaintiff for $50 damages. This is,
however, practically a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, for Ennor made q tender In court
of 500 damages which he conceded that
his hogs had done to Raines' crop. The
Judge, as in his his discretion he may,
will order the 500 paid over as double
damages, but this will be but slight relief
to the defendant who will have to pay the
costs OF the suit which are extraordinary
and will possibly run up to $500 or 5000.

ABOUT MELONS.
a warming Against Over-PrOductIOn.

A warning Against Oyer-PrOductton.
SAVANNAH, GA, Ja9s6.-Editor Norm
ing NelrS: Noticing your timely editorial
advising truckers to learn the cause OF
losses on their melon crops last season, let
me call attention to numbers of articles
published about this time one year ago,
in not only our own papers here, but al
most every country paper in this section,
advocating planting of melons, some going
so far as to make figures showing the
profits to be derived out of that interest.
The result was an over-production OF at
least three times what the markets would
stand, and pay the farmer a living pront.
Then again, the freight expenses are enor-
nous from this point by steamer COM
pared with the rates from other ports-no-
tably NorfoIk-where, if 1 am not much
mistaken, the rate is IL cents each on
melons to New York, while from this
point So cents each. Now then, take
these melons of the line Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway and Gen.
trail Railroad, and the extra rate added to
the above makes the melons cost all the
way from 1917 to 1616 cents each to land
them in New York; add to this 20 per
cent. DOSAGE by decay and rots for which
| freights) }, and your melons have to bring
| S25 per 100 to pay the farmers expenses
| of freights alone, where he ships from 9th
! er points than Savannah direct. If he
sends from here the expense is, of course,
not so great, vet still no money to him al
| less than $50 to $40 per 100; and this won't
net our home farmer here, after deductlng
| freight, commission and decayage, over
! 10 to 20 cents each for his melons. And
| then none should be under II pounds
/ each for the New York market. The same
| rule applies to Baltimore and Boston
markets. Last season the Over-produc-
ton caused 'glut everywhere. What
! our farmers want to guard against is an
! over-production. When melons are sent
to market they can't be held for better
! price; they must be sold for what they
| will bring, no matter who suffers, and we
/ all know the producer catches it.
| Respectfully. GEO. a. HUDSON.
