Hay Destroyed by Fire.

From Geo. Russell, who returned
from Reno yesterday, we learn that
the firm lost over 500 tons of hay by
fire Wednesday evening, though how
the fire originated 1t is impossible to
tell. Thursdays Reno Journal says:
Either through design or the acct
dent OF some tramp or tramps two
large haystacks on the Russell Brad
ley-Fole' ig ranch were set on fire
and burned last evening about 8 o.
cock. A small third stack near the
others was saved by the fire laddies.
Mr.. Powell and his men hauled hay
to the stacks until dark. There were
over 500 tons in tho two stacks.
The insurance was about $500, max
ing the net loss $4,000 or more.

THE COUNTY WINS.

As will be seen in our Carson notes,
in the suit Of Lyon county against the
State Of Nevada for balance claimed
TO be due that county for expenses
incurred ut the special election Of
February IL, tried in Carson last
week, judgment has b-en given the
county for the full amount claimed.
The moment the State scaled those
bills, the Enterprise said it would
have to pay them in full as audited
by the several Boards of County Com
mis5ioners in this State, and it will,
too.
The State authorized the several
counties to contract for the bills and
made an appropriation, and when it
found the appropriation it had made
was not enough, it made an extra
appropriation Of $4,000. This is the
sum the counties arc "buckin -
against, and they are going to tap
tho till. 1t is there for that pur-
pose.-[ Virginia Enterprise.
To INDEPENDENT has always
claimed that the State would be COM
pelled to pay tn, full amount OF the
expenses Of the special election, as
certified to by the several Boards of
Con IT. Con mis- sioa ,rs, for the special
Act Of the Legislature authorizing
the payment Of said election expenses
is SO explicit that a Cninaman who
can real the En- glish language need
not err therein. See Statutes of
1889, page 81.
In addition to the amount appro-
priated by the Act Of January Ord,
above cited, after it was ascertained
that the appropriation Of $4,000 to
cover said expenses was insufficient,
an Act was approved March 9th, ap-
propriating the sum Of S4,687 Is, en-
titled IAN Act to provide for the pay
ment Of the expenses of the special
election Of February IL, 1889, in en-
cess of the amount heretofore ap.
pro rated for that purpose"
There is no question that the State
will bs compelled to pay the full
amount, provided the several coun-
ties taks action to recover it; and
any county which refuses or neg
lects to max, an attempt to collect it
from tho State should pay the def
ciency from its General County fund.

Among the progressive farmers of Owosso
township is Francis M. Shepard. He does

money comes from mixture of both. His
latest venture is the purchase of four head
of Galloway cattle, COW and three heifer
calves, which with the bull he purchased
year ago, gives him the foundation for a
first class herd. The cattle were all pur-
chased from Jasper Coleman, of Shepards-
vile, Clinton county. Beside the cattle he
has a number of well bred horses on his
farm, one three year old FLY by Louis
Napoleon, and two stallion colts by Frank
Rowell, all from one mare.
