More Timber auits.

Last Saturday Secretary Noble re-
quested that civil and criminal suits
be instituted against Clio Coverazio
and A. Mastratter Of Eureka county,
New, for an unlawful cutting of tim
Der in that State. Special Timber
Agent S~nodgrass reports to the In
terror Department that these parties
cut from u~nsurveyed non-mineral
public lands in Eureka county about
$50 cords OF wood, of which about $50
cords have been burned into charcoal.
The value of the wood is given at 81 80
per cord, and the charcoal is valued at
~ cents per bushel. The agent reports
the trespass as willful. 1t is TO recover
the value OF the timber cut and to
punish these parties that Secretary
Noble to-day recommended that crimi-
nal and civil suits be instituted by the
Attorney General.
From the above We infer that the
Government does not intend to stop the
prosecution OF the timber suits in this
county.-ED.~ SENTINEL.

rnE CLOSING LAW.


In the habeas corpus Ease before the
Supreme Court to test the constitution.
atty Of the Early Closing law, w. T..
r. Deal made the following points in
his argument, az reported by the En-.
terprise:
First-The intention Of the bill il
not expressed by its title, and is there
lore unconstitutional. The Constitu-
tion has made certain provisions TO
guard against hodge-podge legislation.
The legislators who vote on a bill
must understand its character by its
utle,.. as must also the people, who
may upon their information exercise
their opportunity Of petition.
Second-The word saloon" is given
a different meaning from that which
the courts and photographers give,
and II should be qualified by some
other word, such as whisky saloon, or
beer saloon, else an ice cream saloon
or a coffee or refreshment saloon,
might be meant. Webster defines the
word saloon" as "a spacious and
elegant apartment for the reception of
company, or for works OF art, a hall Of
reception or the like. The gilded
saloons in which the first magnates OF
the realm gave banquets
and balls.-tMacaulay.'"
Third-It legislates for two separate
and distinct kind OF business. Accord
ing to the nature OF the bill these two
businesses cannot be separated. The
argument covered by the constitu-
tional inhibition, is that while many
members Of the Legislature might
have voted to restrict gambling, at
the same time they may have been per
fectly Indifferent TO restricting the sale
of liquors, and therefore the restriction
of the sale Of liquor may have been &C.
complished by hitching it on to a bill
restricting gambling-and, of course,
vice versa.
The object OF the constitutional pro-
vision seems plain. While q bill
might aim at the restriction OF two
kinds OF business considered harmful,
still vicious men by attaching a clause
to a bill that the whole State might be
in favor of,could compass roguish ends.

boomers Growing Desper ate.

A Winfield, Kan, dispatch says
A reliable man just from Oklahoma
claims to have learned that the BOOM
ers-hundreds OF whom are hid in the
thickets and brush on the many
streams in that county-have COM
bined on a plan to burn all the bridges
on the Santa Fe road on the night Of
April 81, or sooner, so that no trains
can get into Oklahoma on the 22d. He
says that the boomers swear they are
going to have the claims they have
staked over at whatever cost. People
bound for Oklahoma are arriving here
daily from all over the Union, and ex-
element runs high. T~hirty-fve
wagons arrived from Mead and
Comanche counties and camped just
west OF the town to await proper time
to move TO Oklahoma.

Saved by q Tramp.

Silver State: A tramp acquired
considerable notoriety, and proved
that his kind is not wholly worthless,
by tagging q passenger train
and bringing it to a stop on
the Truckee river west of Reno,
where he discovered a broken rail
while walking along the track. The
rail is said to have been On a curve oil
the road on the bank Of the river.
The passenger train was due at the
place in a few minutes and the tramp
sought a favorable position on the
track and made such wild gestures
that the engineer stopped the train.
The road officials rewarded the tramp
by giving him a pass to the East
where he was going and money to
pay for his meals.

Eureka. Assessor Censured.

The Eureka SENTINEL scores AS
SCISSOR G.. C. Wallace severely, ac-
cusing him Of ~neglecting his official
duties while acting as lobbyist in the
Legislature at Carson. The SENTINEL
says the county has lost 5000 in
taxes on cattle which should have
been assessed by the Eureka Assessor,
but which were gobbled by the As
SCISSORS of adjoining counties while
Wallace was absent from his post Of
duty. While this may, perhaps,
seems a little hard upon the taxpayers
Of Eureka county, they as patriotic
citizens, should cheerfully submit TO
the loss, when they consider how
trivial is their losing compared with
the disastrous consequences TO the en-
tire people OF the State which would
have resulted from their Assessors
absence from the Capital during the
session Of the Legislature. A Nevada
Legislature without BLACK" or
"Cleve " to guide it, would be like a
ship without a rudder, a district
school without a teacher, or a Missouri
corn shucking without q fiddler

A REORGANIZATION.

An Arrest for Violation OF the ~
O'clock Closing Law Al.
Judged :" Not guilty "-CeIebr rat
ting M Verdict.
Last Saturday the case Of the State
vs.. Charley Lautenschlager came up
for hearing before Justice Wilson.
The Justice Court being too small for
the on-lookers, the trial took place in
the District Courtroom, which was
crowded. The defendant was ar
rested for violation Of the law, enacted
by the last Legislature, to compel
saloon keepers to close their places Of
business between the hours OF ~
O'Clock midnight and 6 O'Clock in the
morning, and was tried by a jury
composed mostly Of prominent busi-
ness men Of the town. The attorneys
in the case were: District Attorney
Breen for the prosecution, and at
torneys Henry Rives and X. NJ.
Beatty for the defense. At 0 O'Clock
in the evening the case was given to
the jury, who, after a short delibera-
ton returned a verdict of " not guilty"
This was expected, and the COM
munity generally was well pleased
with the result. Shortly after the
verdict was rendered a host OF Mr..
Lautenschlager's friends called at his
saloon, when Charley, with his usual
~hberality, " set 'em up" time and
again, amid deafening cheers and
such hilarity as Eureka has not wit
messed before for many q day. The
Star Band "a in attendance, and
playeda number OF favorite airs, after
which they serenaded several OF our
citizens. During the night most OF the
other saloons were visited by the
crowd, and a general good time was
had. While a number OF persons felt
their beer, good order and good feeling
prevailed. The demonstration by
this gathering went TO show that they
considered the new law unjust and
discriminating. Probably no more ar
rests will be made, unless the friends
OF the Lottery rascality try TO get even
for the failure of their pet scheme.

TIM TIM rlNi
Cherry Greek Excited over . Dts-
eovery of Tia Mines.

Fotefy ~ TN WthfHs
The White Pine News Of the 9Th in.
slant has the following: Reports
come to us Of a great excitement al
Cherry Creek over the discovery Of
what is believed to be rich and ex-
tensive tin mines in Ruby Valley, 40
miles northwest Of that town. The
exact location is about four miles from
the Taylor ranch. Chris Delker is the
discoverer, and the first claim is re-
corded in the name Of G. w. Keeny,
of the Merrimac Company, who has
been grub-staking Chris for several
months. Satisfactory assays have
been made OF the metal in San Fran
cisco, and it is pronounced the gen.
uine article and the percentage OF the
ore is high. The ledge Is said to be
large and w~elldefined, and a large
scope of the country Whereabouts is
similarly mineralized.
As tin is a very valuable and scarce
metal it is no wonder that it's discov-
cry so nea home excited our Cherry
Creek neighbors.
John Wearne hitched up his team
at 10 o'clock at night and made the
first break for the new camp, and was
Immediately followed by all the avail
able vehicles that could be pressed
into service TO carry the excited peo-
pie to the tin mines. Others followed
on horeback and on foot until the
town vas nearly depopulated. 1t is
said the stampede was the most ex-
citing ever witnessed in Nevada. To
see who would get there first to stake
off claims was the object Of the stam-
peders.
Jugde Sullins, an old Mexican war
veteran, and o. III. Grey, armed with
long tape-lines and a couple Of lanterns,
footed it across lots and got in ahead
OF the others, and by the breaking of
the dawn staked off as many claims as
they wanted.
Geo. III. Taylor thought there was
no need OF a rush as the mines
would keep till next day. Charley
Keeny was the least excited man in
town, probably because the choice
claim had already been recorded in
his name.
OF course the extent and value oil
the new mines are not yet known and
it will take time and development to
prove the merits of the new district.
