For tho past five days Reno has

they have any delicacy in approach

far as to offer insults to women.
Never in the history Of the town has
there been a moro lawless or impudent
gang pass through the place. A few

most indecent and drunken orgies
imaginable at the lower end OF town.
They are a miserable set of petty lar.

Yesterday afternoon Car Inspector
Lewis was assaulted by Ave OF them
and he stood his ground brayely until
Officer Branton came to his relief and
pulled them. They gave the names
OF Joseph Murray. Thos. Lucy, Frank
Bushnell, Chas. Livingstone and
Frank Carron. Later in the day w.
ii. Kelley was coming across tho ". Il
I. bridge when two OF the same ilk
accosted him and without ceremony
garroted him, knocked him down and
robbed him Of s13 so. Officers Dews
ing, Branton and McInnis took after
them and after a chase Officer Dew
ing captured them. and while taking
them to jail one OF them assaulted
him and the officer was compelled To
fight to stand him of, and had 1t not
been for Officer McInnis, who han
pened along in tho nick OF time it is
probable that both Of the individuals
would have escaped. Mac. gave the
fighter a couple OF right-hand upper.
cuts on the jaw that cooled his ardor
and they were escorted to Jail and a
charge Of robbery entered against
them. They refused to give their
names. Other lawless practices have
been INDUCED in during the past few
days, and it is about time that
prompt and decisive action ehould be
taken otherwise some good man will
get hurt and possibly killed. a little
tar, a cat-o.nine tails or a dose of
hemp might have a very impressive

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BLIND.
Men to Whom the Loss of Vision Seemed
to BE UnimpOrtant.

to BE Unimportant.
A unique career was recently brought to
a close in the suburbs of great American
city. 1t was that of a man totally blind
from early childhood. who, by force of an
innexiblc will, had succeeded in becoming
n scientific anatomist
Although deprived of sight, he trained
himself by muscular exercise to be an ath-
lete. The loss of one sense only strength
encd his determination to preserve all his
other faculties in the freshness of perfcc
ton. His own success in muscular cICr-
else brought a group of young men around
him, and before he was II years old he was
a training master for athletic sports of cv
cry sort He opened a gymnasium With
apparatus designed to carry into practic,
theories of his own respecting the develop
ment of the human body.
He taught large classes, led in exercises
of all kinds, and performed the most diff
cult fcats with uncrring accuracy. His IA
cility in using the apparatus and moving
about the gymnasium was amazing. Visit
ors could hardly be convinced that the ex-
pert and fearless teacher was absolutely
sightless.
His gymnasium was gradually converted
into n school of health. BY physical excr
ciscs conducted under his supervision he
undertook to remedy deformities of the
body and to cure patients afflicted with
diseases of lungs, digestion and disordcrcd
nerves. He became in fact, if not in title,
a physician of recognized skill and applied
many original theories to the treatment of
diseases. dcvoting the best years of his life
to minute study of the mechanism of the
human body, with view to rcmedying the
physical defects of other men.
Whether it is the blind boat builder de

Mr. Fawcett when he met with an acct
dent in his youth by which he lost his
sight, was student with an ardent ambi-
ton for public life. A weaker nature
would have given up tho first fight as hope
less but with unflinching courage he fol-
lowed the career he had marked out for
himself. He continued his study of polt-
ical economy by the aid of other mems
eyes; trained his memory until he could
carry complex tables Of statistics as easily
as other men could read the figures from
the printed page and achieved great distinc-
ton as university professor and polit-
ical leader. So complete was his conquest
of his infirmity that Mr.. Gladstone was the
only man who could rival him in parlia-
ment in the exposition of statistical q,Ies-
tions.

Draft or Coach Horse. which,

Inc carriage horse is a pure luxury,
the draft horse an everyday necessity.
No such fancy prices can ever be obtain
ed for draft horses for work as for fine
coachers or fast and handsome roadsters.
In the possibility of producing world
beating trotter or a sensational carriage
team the breeder often enjoys a thrill Of
hopeful excitement which finds no par
allel among the more matter of fact
draft horse breeders. But ON the other
hand the breeder of draft horses has sew
eral compromising advantages. For in
stance, he has fewer insists, his colts
will stand rougher treatment, and if
they should get injured by barb wire or
otherwise the depreciation in value
thereby is very slight.
In addition to this the finer bred colts
demand certain amount of breaking,
handling, training and fitting, for which
the average farmer has neither the abil-
lty nor the time. While, therefore, ad-
NIT the possibility of an intelligent
breeder getting much higher prices in
dlvldually for fine roadsters and coach
ers than he can hope to obtain for draft
horses, 1believe that the average farmer,
situated as he is, will more generally
find it to his best interests to stay by the
draft horse, and if he raises half dozen
draft colts in season they will net him
at maturity more money in the aggre-
gate than the same number of roadster
colts. In thus stating my opinion, how
ever, l wish it to be distinctly under
stood that am sincere believer in and
admirer of coach horses, and given the
proper material and the necessary knowl-
edge and ability for their production and
handling there is no other breeding in
dustry i'll the world that offers such
handsome returns, present and prospec-
tive, as the prodpstion of coach horses
of quality and action -Alexander Gal
braith.

Fighting Spider Crabs.

The blue crab is a natural born fighter
The probability is that he would a little
rather fight than not. Tho spider crab is
not so much of a fighter rs that Still the
spider will put his claws up. There arc
eight or ten big spider crabs in one of the
tanks at the New York aquarium, the
biggest of them inches in length of body
and measuring s or 10 inches in spread of
legs. Two of these spiders of about equal
size met in the tank the other day and
stood up on their hind legs and faced each
other like two boys meeting in the street
Then they threw their upper legs around
each other and grappled and began plug
glng away It each other with their pinchcr
claws. A moment later one pushed the
other over on his back ana fell on him.
dc hit him once after he was down. Then
they went their ways.-New York Sun
