CATTLE DYING IN NEVADA.
A Nevada Attorney Speaks In Dis
couraging Tone.

j. w. Dorsey, prominent attorney of
Nevada, recently made the following
statement to a reporter in San Francisco;
'1t has been years since things looked
so blue and hopeless. Time was when
ordinary stock cattle were worth twice
and three times as much as now. The
succession Of dry winters has broughta an
unparalleled scarcity of water and pas
turage. In summer thousands of cattle
have starved to death virtually, and If
they will die I'm the sum mmer what are we
to expect this winter2
Thousands of head have been driven
this summer into Idaho, Oregon and
Montana and the Snake river country,
cattlemen from Winnamuca east prefer
ring to risk the northern winter than to
let their cattle remain. Others have
driven their cattle into Southern Nevada
for the mild winter, counting ON severe
winter up north to bring out plenty of
pasturage In the spring,
"For Nevada cattleman to stay still
is dangerous to the herds. II the COM
ing winter is severe the cattle will die of
starvation In the spring.
There has been lately quite move
ment of sheep in the state. Many new
herds of cattle are to be found all over.
The cattle business on great scale
Is doomed anyway, and the people are
beginning to look to sheep and to agri-
support. Though silver is low and cat
tie are SS to $40 a head, we are still hope
full, and If congress will give the irriga-
tion scheme a chance for its life We will
have a state yet. We've got the land.
All we want is water"

Crime Notes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. 23.-A corre-
spondcnt telegraphs from Pincville that
Wilson Howard and one of his princi-
pal henchmen named Jennings were
wounded. Howard's wound Is probably
fatal. The Turner's have been In pos
session of the town for more than a
week. Their leader, John Turner, is
only IL years OF age. Howard's forces
have been in camp about mile from
town. There are forty men in each
crowd onS all eguppeS %i,a wnrhS,tGrs
Turner led his followers in an attack ON
Howard's camp. The attacking party
got In first work, but were finally driven
back to town.
a report reached Pikesyille at II
o'clock this morning thnt the Howard
iorles were in Harlan. They left camp
last night and started for Harlan Court
house, Intending to kill everybody that
belonged TO the opposition and then
burn the town.
The latest report from Harlan court
house states that Wilson Howard had
cutoff Lewis and his party from COM
munication with the town. Sheriff
Howard of Harlan, who Is here. urges
the governor 10 order the troops 10 quiet

sistance from the legislature for the en-
torcement Of the prohibitory clause, un-
less the required two-thirds of all the

Is hardly possible. The question then
comes UP as to whether one portion of "A

Other portions, are uuquestionably re-

A MILLIONAIRE TRAMP.
His Estate Being Earnestly Sought
and Fought for by Relatives.

His Estate Being Earnestly Sought
and Fought for by Relatives.
New York, Oct. 17.--Jacob Heighler,
who died in the early part of this year
in Southern California, leaving an estate
of 81, 900 900, was not known to have any
immediate family. 1t was learned by a
correspondent, however, that a claim is
now made to the entire fortune by rela-
tives residing in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, and that they Will at once
begin an action to have the estate di-
vided among them.
The claimants, about fifteen in num-
Der, are all poor people and are old Ger
man settlers in that old-settled portion
of the state. This is another case of a
MIA and made AN immense fortune, of
which kind of cases the law courts of
the state have had so many.
over sixty years ago young Lancas-
ter county farm hand named Jacob
Heigler lett his home near Bird-in-the
Hand to seek bis fortune. With his de-
parture vanished every trace of the man
for over forty years. His parents died,
his brothers and sisters marri.a and
the most sanguine of his relatives gave
up all hopes of knowing the fate OF the
wanderer.
1t was some time in 1850 that a griz-
zled old fellow put in an appearance at
the home of Miss Jane Bierly, near Bird
in-the Hand and introduced himself as
her uncle, jacob Heigler, the youth who
had disappeared forty years previously.
Heigler said that he was unmarried, and
since his departure from Lancaster
county, about 1929, had been living in
California.
He was apparently in the most prosper
Gus circumstances. He spent several
mouths in the vicinity of his former
home and left for the Pacific coast. An
other period of years in which nothing
whatever was heard of Jacob Heigler en-
sued. In the meantime the family name
by some process of transimulation had
become Heidler, instead of Heigler, pos
sibly for the sake of euphony. The
knowledge of Heigler's death came
through stray California newspaper.
The matter is now in the hands of attor-
neys.

IN THE FIELD.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Oct. 21.-Chief
vngineer Becker of tho Montana Cen
trail has returned from st. Paul, where
he had been called on impartant busi-
ness. AS a result he comes back cm-
powered to begin the surveys on the Pa
csfc extension of the Manitoba, or as 1t
will be known, the Great Northern Rail-
way. He is instructed to puch the work
with all possible rapidity and 10 that
end is now organizing a large force to
take the field at once.
1t is proposed to do great deal of the
preliminary work before winter comes
on, and the surveying force will be kept
In the field constantly from this time
until spring, when the work of con-
structIon will begin to be carried out
with the same energy and rapidity that
marked the building of the Montana di.
vision two years ago.
The fact that the surveys are to be
commenced at this time is an assurance
that the work of construction will begin
as early as possible in the spring. Great
Falls will be benefited considerably by
this great enterprise.

stan Very Bitter.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 23.-The
armed Polanders who have been holding
possession of the Polish priests house
at Plymouth surrendered to the au.
thorities this morning. Father Busbet,
the new priest, then took possession of
the house. The Polanders are still bit
ten and say they win prevent the priest
from saying mass next Sunday. A
later dispatch says that the Polandcrs
have again taken possession of the house
and driven the priest out. Upon advice
Of Bishop y Hara, who wishes to prevent
bloodshed, no efforts hare been made to
oust the intruders.
The excitement over the church riot
continues. Adhcrents of the deposed
priest this morning called officers to the
building, escorting them through and
showing them a collection of guns and
pistols In the hands Of six desperate
looking Poles. The officers were in
formed that the besieged party meant TO
hold possession at all hazards and that
they could gain forcible possession only
by bloodshed. They therefore gave up
the attempt Tor the present and are con-
tenting themselves with keeping watch
on the premises. The Poles arrested
after yesterdays riot were arraigned to-
day and fined heavily. Tomorrow the
sheriff of this county will endeavor to
gain possession of the building.

THE OKASOGAN MINES.
The Fourth Of July Again Attracting
Great Deal of Attention.

News from the most reliable source
and OF very tiatterng nature continues
to come in concerning the seasons work
in the Okanogan country. Several com
panies of means have been vigorously
developing n number of properties in
the camp, and the results have been OF
the most encouraging nature. Principal
among them is the Fourth of July"
which has shaft down on the vein to
depth of 200 feet and extensive drifts and
levels extended. Recently carload OF
ore was shipped to the Helena smelter,
the results OF which have not yet been
learned, but sufficient assays have been
made TO approximately determine some
thing of ITS value, which is said to be of
more than fair grade, and sufficient to
pay profit after shipping even to that
distance. The reputation of this mine
suffered some from the effects of ''de.
clared OFF, deal by Helena parties last
spring, but Developments have again
brought 1t into prominence and IL Is said
that the same parties are again nego-
tiating for II at large consideration.

Pacific port of transhipment to its desti-
nation in British vessel or in vessels of
foreign couptries which possess coasting
privileges In Canadian waters. The

one of q gang Of ramps being escorted
out Of town one morning OF last Febru-
ary. He stepped into saloon without
permission, and was struck with cane.
He showed no effects Of the blow until
he got on board the steamer starr, bound
for Seattle, and then he died. The
marshal claimed always that he was
murdered by companions, and 1t Is not
improbable that this Is true.
