Sarah Bernhardt has had play
written especially for her, and it
will doubtless prove successful.
Particularly will this be true if the
divine Frenchwoman is given a
part wherein the garments to be
worn are sufficiently attenuated.
The trouble with her version Of

that she was too heavily clothed.
A bit of gauze drapery and a live

Sarah had dressed the part in the

Buffalo Bills oldest daughter,
Miss Aria Cody, appears to be ga
chip Of the old block" She is de-
scribed as a magnificent queenly
looking young woman, and credit
ed with having as much courage
and self confidence as her father,
Among the stories told Of her pluck
is the following: Some years ago
when Miss Arta was about IA years
OF age, Cody had in his stable a
large, handsome, high-spirited
horse, who was particularly vicious,
so much so. in fact, that Cody him
self did not care about riding him.
One day Aria concluded she would
ride this horse although the stable
man sought to dissuade her. She
was determined, however, and sue
ceeded in getting a bride on him,
and then leaped nimbly onto his
back. The horse reared and plung-
ed, but the girl kept her seat. FL
nally the animal threw her. She
was up again in an instant, and
once more on his back. This time
the horse threw her over his head,
scratching her face to a consider
able degree. With blood streaming
down her face, her eyes filled with
tears and her rage SO great that
she locked like a young tigress,
she sprang to her feet, crying:
"The brutel I'll ride him now if he
kills me-" and suiting the action
to the word, gave the horse one of
the most terrible beatings he had
ever received, and when she had
completed, the animal was as do
Gle as the proverbial "Old Dob
bin," and Miss Arta rode off tri-
umphantly. while her father and
the stableman looked on in aston
ishment.-Er.

A Row MT PRxeu.

On the night of the 23d of last
month row took place in saloon
at Pizen Switch, in which Duncan
Mckenzie pulled a pistol on man
and threatened to let daylight
through him. McKenzie's gun was
taken away from him before he did
any harm with it, and the following
Monday he was arrested on a charge
of threatening to kill. He was
placed under bonds to appear for
trial in the Justice Court on Wednes-
day. He had jury trial and was
convicted, and ordered to appear the
next morning for sentence. Instead
of so doing he took breakfast that
morning at Barnett's ranch below
Dayton. His bondsmen refuse to
put up the coin, 800, as they claim
the bond is not legally drawn, and
it is limited that the bond was 80
drawn to allow Mckenzie to get
away. 1t is a cold day when the
Pizen Switch lawyers don't work
some scheme to pervert Justice.

A California Rendezvous for Stock
Thieves.

For some time Miller & Lux have
been missing much stock, and not
being able to work the case out they
have had detectives at work for some
time. Results are now being reached.
A band of about forty head of cat
tie with the brands and ear-marks
skillfully changed was brought into
the Headquarter ranch lately.
Among the latter were eleven head
belonging to John Barker, and a
few scattering ones belonging to
other ranches on the delta. The
Miller & Lux cattle were tracked
from their range to the head-waters
of Pleyto creek, in one of the most
inaccessible regions in the State.
Here, within mountain walls, is
fertile and well-watered valley,
where alfilarilla, wild oats and other
indigenous grasses grow to perfec-
ton. 1t is a model rendezvous for
stock thieves, and such it is now be-
lieved to be.-Kern Echo.

The Ditch Com pauy TO Blame

A Mason Valley correspondent
writes as follows: eve see that the
County Commissioners have ordered
several ranchers in the valley to re-
move all distractions placed by
them in the roads that cross their
lands. Why do they not order the
Greenwood Ditch Company to re-
move the distractions placed in the
road that runs along the bank of the
East Walker river, road that has
been travelled for 80 years? Are the
County Commissioners interested
in the Greenwood Ditch?"

The Both of May opened beauti-
full and warm. If the observers of
the day had had the ordering of the
weather it could not have been finer.
Not cloud was in sight, a gentle
breeze just stirring the leaves of the
trees lining the roadside, the late
rains having laid the dust, there
was nothing to prevent the perfect
celebration of the day. With such
an suspicious opening it was no
wonder that the citizens turned out
in such large numbers. After the
memorial service, which was held
in Armory hall, consisting of an
Grafton by G. /. Leavitt, and patriot
songs by the NJ. E. church choir,
the procession of some forty car
riages was formed ON Main street,
headed by Company I. Words fail
to do justice to the fine troop of
young men composing our gallant
militia whose fine appearance and
martial airs caused thrill of pride
to stir the bosom of all patriotic
citizens. On reaching the cemetery
the ladies decorated the graves with
lovely flowers. At the conclusion
of the ceremony squad of two
picked men fred three volleys over
the graves and the people SLOWLY

A Good Thing from the Town Crier."

The subjoined unctuous para
graph is from the San Francisco
News Letter: What a bower OF
brides Monterey has become. 1t
seems to be the correct thing, these
times, for the happy pair to speed
to the Del Monte, and there dream
their dream of love. If the signs
of the turtle doves who have roamed
in the maze, and kissed and en-
braced in the corridors, might be
combined, what an amorous diapa-
son it would make. By the Torch
of Hymen, it makes one sentiment
al to consider it. Imagine the long
line Of blushing virgins who have
entered this temple, and who have
left it demure wives, with the silver
of their honeymoon still tinting
their orange blossoms. What a
smacking and a buzzing, what a
squeezing and teasing, what dear
delights, what foundations of hu-
manity have been laid within those
walls. An ingenious youth, once
hearing his parents disauss their
wedding tour, inquired where he was
at that period. "Ah, my boy" re-
piled the father, II took you down

Last Monday and Tuesday the
case of J. NJ. Tailleur vs. August
Depoali and the Union Mill & Min
ing Company occupied the attention
of the District Court. R. M. Clarke,
of Carson, appeared for plaintiff
and W. E. F. Deal for defendants.
The case was brought to recover a
certain 40 acres of ground on the
Carson river, above Dayton. 1t
has been supposed, for years that
the ground belonged to the Union
Mill Il Mining Company, and this
company leased the ground to De-
poali and Casci, Italian ranchers.
The testimony in the case showed
that Tailleur and the Company both
had deed to the ground from Judge
Hayden, dated in 1871, and Judge
Rising brought the matter down to
the question who was the actual oc-
cupant of the land at the time the
deeds were given. The jury after
being out a few minutes decided in
favor of Tailleur. 1t is not believed
that the Mill Company will carry
the case any further.

How 70 Raise Cucumhars.

A novel mode of securing a large
supply of cucumbers is to sink an
old, leaky barrel into the ground,
first filling it two-thirds full of barn
yard manure. Around the barrel
make the cucumber bed in a circle
eight feet in diameter, the barrel in
the center. Plant the seed within
one foot of the barrel, and allow the
vines to run out from the barrel.
Pour the washwater from the house
into the barrel, and allow it to leak
through into the ground. Do not
keep the ground too wet, but simply
moist. The result will be an enor-
nous yield of cucumbers, which
can be picked daily as required.

e. Judge r. ID. Edwards OF Carson

AfllS himself while LAbOrtng I'm
der q Fit of Temporary Insanity.
Judge T. d. Edwards, an old time
resident of Carson and Ormsby
county's District Attorney at this
time, committed suicide at 8:15
Tuesday evening by shooting him
self twice in the left temple with a
small calibre pistol. The explosion
burned the face. His son, Dwight,
is there, and the eldest daughter,
Ella, is in Berkeley, Cal. The cause
for the rash act is said to have been
temporary insanity.
Mr.. Edwards was about 81 years
of age, native of Kentucky, and
came thence to Nevada in 1868, set
thing in Carson with his family.
He was by profession, a lawyer, and
soon took an active part in the po-
litical history of the State, promi-
nently as Republican. In 1873
he was elected a member of the
State Senate, and rendered credita-
BILE service during his four years
term as Senator.
In 1882 be was elected District
Judge of Ormsby and Douglass
counties, making a good record as
such, and in 1885 he ran for the re-
sponsible position of Supreme Judge
but was beaten by Judge Belknap.
The remains were taken to
Oakland for interment under the
auspices of the Masons.
