Board of Transportation in the case of the
Town of Laurel against'the Chicago, St. Paul,
were reported today: The particulars of the
case are briefly as follows: Laurel is stu
ated at the junction of the defendant COM
pany's road with the Pacific Short Line.
Its ftzens hd stasa some RS time fompaned
tion that the defendant company re-
fused to stop its trains at the
place and that no depot or shipping privi-
leges of any character We're provided They
asked the board to compel the company to
erect depot aud make Laurel one of the
regular stopping places on its line. In
answer to the complaint the company as
serted that it had established the town of
Claramont, about 1000 feet north of the
town of LAUREL on high, rolling ground that
the said town of Claramont was established
before the town of Laurel was commenced;
that Laurel was located on low, fiat ground
subject to annual overflow, and that the cost
of building depot and maintaining station
would be greater than the revenue that
could be derived.
The secretaries investigated the matter
and tindthat Laurel has population of about
100 people and that thirteen lines of busi-
ness are represented. The land upon which
it is situated is not low and has not been
submerged since 1888, when the bursting of
a waterspout flooded the entire valley. The
amount of business done at the town fully
entities it's people to depot, and inasmuch
donate TO thecompany the necessary grounds
for depot and switching yards the secre-
tarieS recommend that the company be re-
quired to erect and maintain depot and
stop all of its regular trains at Laurel as soon
as possible.
Burglars Make IA Raid.
When the police station became thawed
out this morning and Captain Ireland opened
his register to note down the list of burg
laries committed the night before, four men
stood ready to make complaint. They were
l.. M. Myers, the proprietor of tailoring
establishment at S22 L street; Baron Il
Bradsky, who conduct pawn shop at SlS
p street; Frank III. Brown, saoonkeeper,
doing business ut $40 p street. Their places
were all visited during the night by gang
of thieves and all had been robbed of arti-
cles of more or less value AT Browns sa-
loon the visitors had helped themselves to
all the loose change that had been left in
the cash drawer and then had prepared and
eaten lunch of oysters and other delica-
cies, heldldown with the choicest wines and
liquors the place afforded, After helping
themselves to several boxes of cigars they
left the place. ''''
Goldwater's pawnshop was separated from
the saloon only by board partition, and
here the thieves secured number of reyol-
vers and a few other articles of minor value.
AT Baron IL Bradsky they carried away
several suits of clothes, an overcoat, some
1ewelry, few pocket books and other things.
Meyers tailor shop seems TO have escaped
loss. The door was cut away but the

Apoloxtre and Come Hack.

The Truckee Republican takes this
mild way Of showing Senator Dolph
and the Reno Gazette the error Of
their ways: "Senator Dolph is op-
posing and will doubtless kill the
Geary Anti Chinese bill, and the
Reno Gazette is openly hostile TO the
formation Of silver clubs. Dolph has
always posed as the champion OF the
Pacific Coast in the matter of Chinese
exclusion, and yet when a bill passes
the House that will exclude he is COM
PEELED to show his hand and does 30 in
the most approved pro-Chinese man
ner. The Gazette has enjoyed the
reputation Of being the best kind of a
friend to western Nevada, and when
a movement starts which will whip
the National Conventions into line on
the silver question the Gazette acts
like q gold bug. We earnestly hope
that both Dolph and the Gazette will
see the error Of their ways. The
questions at issue involve so much for
the home and firesides OF this Coast
that we wish folks would be more care
full about getting off wrong. II the
issues were less momentous we should
enjoy saying some bitter things about
the course OF the gentleman from
Oregon and the paper at Reno, but ~
II is, we would rather they would both
apologize and come back into the fold
without any argument"

Good Advice.

The Reno Journal says the people
of Washoe county should organize a
silver club, and fall into line with the
citizens Of other counties. Hundreds
are ready to join such a club and
pledge themselves 10 vote for no man
at the e~nsusing election who is not in
favor OF silver. The movement is
general throughout the State. Ne
vada is proving that there is more
patriotism and less partisanism in its
people than was generally supposed.
Republicans and Democrats are max
ing common cause against a common
enemy, and Washoe, ever noted for
its independence, should be in the
front rank, not at the rear end Of the
silver phalanx. All owe the State
professional and business men, farm
ers, miners, stockmen, in fact every
body, without distinction Of calling or
previous condition OF party s%ervitude,
are enlisting for the war under the
free coinage banner.

The Phoebe Railroad.

The Salt Lake Stock Journal says:
The outlook for an extension OF the
Union Pacific railroad from Milford,
Utah, to Phoebe, Nevada, certainly is
very encouraging. The roadbed is
already graded some distance along
the route, and the surveys all made.
In railway circles it is rumored that
Fitzpatrick, of Fitzpatrick Bros. & Col
Inns, railroad contractors, will be in
the city to-day, and will proceed at
nee to Milford TO superintendthe prep
arations for the resumption OF work on
the proposed extension. The country
around Phoebe is rich in mineral de-
posits, and the new finds in Monkey
Wrench District are reported very rich
and OF vast proportions. IL is to be
hoped that the extension will be made,
as the line will enter a country Of great
possibilities in other resources as well
as mining.
