ness and solidity that is o found in

A special to the San Francisco Post
from Reno says: Minnie, the l6-year-old
daughter of Michael Shields, a prosperous
farmer near Glendale, was thrown from
her horse yesterday afternoon and badly
fractured her skull. Physicians lifted
the bone from her brain and though she
is Unconscious most of the time they have
hopes of her recovery. 50
A delegation of straight-out Republi-
cans headed by M. d. Foley, Bob Fulton
and Allan Bragg met Senator Jones at
the Reno depot and said they were ready
(f re left the necessary funds with
them) to reorganize the Republican
party and put it on a paying basis. Al
ter glazing a few moments at the crowd
he sent the porter back with instructions
to place his sack III his drawing room
and lock the door. He then re-checked
his baggage and proceeded to San Frau
cisco under a guard of Wells-Fargo shot
gun messengers who boarded the train
at Palisade. His family were wired at
Washington that he passed through all
right.-Midwlnter Appeal.
The papers in the western part of the
state can't agree on Senator jones' pol
itics. The Gazette and Tribune say
that he is still a Republican while the
Appeal, journal and Silver State are
equally positive hat he is a Populist.
When the Senator talks to a member
of the q. o. p. he talks like a Republic
can and when interviewed by a Populist
his Silver tones convince his interviewer
that he has cut loose from the Republi-
can party and joined the Populists. His
published interviews indicate that the
Senator is in doubt as to which side of
the fence he will finally fall. The INDIE
pendent thinks he is a Mugwump.
Bernard Arntzen, Indian Alloting Agt.

were given an average OF 100 acres each

Carson which the Government will hold
in trust for rs years. The agent was Of
the opinion that the Government would
aid in constructing irrigating bitches to
the land though no positive assurance is
given. From here Agent Arntzen went
to Susanville where 1900 Indians are
awaiting land allotments.-New Era.
