A Large Influx of Cattle.

In a letter addressed to L. ID. Fol-
som, the writer says ave expect
that upon the passage OF the Wilson
bill, rather when it becomes a law, to
have a large influx Of cattle from
Sonora" Yes when the Wilson bill
becomes a law we shall have free beef
and mutton set before US from the
plains OF Old Mexico and South
American ports, and the good
prices" that cattlemen have been ex-
pecting since 1888 will be longer de-
layed. The cattlemen Of Nevada
should assist the wool-growers in their
fight against the passage Of the I'M
American. vicious measure, or their
occupation will also be gone, so TO
speak.-Reno Gazette.

Several exchanges are commenting
on the extension OF the Nevada South
ern railway up into this county, and
also OF the immigration OF people
along its proposed line. A recent ar
ticle in the Salt Lake Tribune says the
line extends $50 miles north Of Good
Springs, when the actual fact at pres
ent is that not a mile Of track has been
laid or even the grade commenced,
this side OF the California line, while
most OF the farming land along the
Virgin and Muddy rivers has been
long ago taken up. There yetremains
some land in those sections subject to
entry, but let no man go there with
the belief that there are acres Of fine
land requiring little or no cultivation
and without claimants. such is not
the case. Neither would we have it
inferred that there are no advantages
for settlers in Lincoln county. With
increased water supply there are
thousands OF acres which could be put
under cultivation. Timber and graz
ing lands are abundant, and unde-
veloped minerals are simply a blank
page. But the development Of these,
as in any other country, require enter
prise and knowledge, backed up by
muscle and money.-Pioche Lode.

There have been great changes in
the Government departments in the
last thirty years. The first woman
regularly employed was put on the
rolls of the Navy Department thirty
five years ago. She was a young widow
and the officials considered it an awful
problem how to dispose Of her. Finally
they hit upon a plan. They treated
her as if she were a contagious dis
ease and isolated her in an attic

CHRIS EVANS CAPTURED.
Surrounded mt Ills Home, the
Famous OUTLAW surrenders.

VIsALIA, CAL, Feb. ia Sherif's
posse surrounded Chris Evans's home
at 3 this morning, having information
that Evans and Morrell were inside.
His children we're there, and a young
man named Beeson was paid to 90 in
and get the children out, preparatory
to a general attack on the place. As
soon as he reached the door he was
pulled inside and kept there. A strong
Gordon was drawn around the house,
and half the town gathered at a re-
spectful distance. Word was sent to
Fresno for reinforcements and every
avenue Of escape was guarded.
Finally, seeing there was no hope of
getting away, the bandits surrendered.
Evans and Morrell are now behind the
bars Of the county Jail. Negotiations
with the bandits were carried on by
letters through Eyans's young son.
When Evans saw armed men around
the house and noted that Brighton, an
employee Of the Sheriff, who was tax
ing care OF Evans's children had not
returned, he attacked Mrs. Brighton,
knocking her down and kicking her.
He was only prevented from killing
the oma through the intervation OF
Morrell. The woman was badly in
jured, and was in spasms for hours.
The officers are reticent as to the
disposal OF Evans at present, but it is
supposed that he will be spirited to
Fresno tonight, where he will receive
immediate sentence on conviction and
hurried to the State prison.
FRESNO. Cal, Feb. 20.-After a night
spent in his old quarters at the Jail,
where he was safely landed at 1870,
Chris Evans was brought into court at
10 o'clock this morning, and, after a
consultation with his attorneys, SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life at Fol-
som by Judge Harris. Evans was
taken on the noon train to prison by
Sheriffs Scott and Kay and deputies.
He seemed cheerful, and greeted all
who spoke to him pleasantly. The
motion for a new trial made by his at
torneys was denied. He denied the
story that he abused Mrs. Brighton.

A piece of string makes a simple
barometer. Take a piece of string
about 10 inches long, saturate it in a
strong solution of salt water, let it dry
and then tie a light weight on n end
and hang it up against a wall, and
mark where the weight reaches to.
The weight raises for wet weather and
falls for fine. The string should be

A Tempest In n Teapot.

The Austin Reveille says: The
employees of the day shift at the Union
mine all quit work last week. The
cause OF the trouble was that the min

while the foreman said that his orders
were that the miners take an hour for
dinner and quit at 8 o'clock. The
order did not suit the miners, so they

General he paid out annually S54 goo to

full of substantial advice to the farm
ers, advising them to educate their
children above all things. He said
that no rings should be allowed in the
State and hoped that the Dispensary
question would be separated from
politics. AS long as the moral forces
of the State were deyided strife would
be stirred up. We do need peace, and
so far as We can have it without sacrl-
