bank at the end of Salem avenue ut tho
Randolph street bridge where the horse
fell. Fortunately the wagon WAS not
injured further than having spring
broken.

Harris and the Shortnpc.

The defense is now trying to slide
the shortage onto Harris, the present
Melter and Reliner.
In other words they want the pub
lie to understand that Harris after
stealing $4,000 reported the same to
Superintendent Adams, and demanded
an investigation. Looks plausible
Cont it.
Some months ago George Brown of
this city died, and few days after
the funeral Mr.. Harris called on
Browns daughter and paid her 5000
he had borrowed from Brown.
The lady was quite surprised. She
knew of no such loan. No one knew
it but Harris. He borrowed the

The Thief Hatchery Closed.

Uncle Sam has concluded to close
up his Carson thief hatchery. Su-
perintendent Adams notified dozen
or more of the employees of the Mint
on the 1st to finish out this week and
quit permanently Saturday. The
Cashier and Meter and Retiner will
continue to hold down their jobs.
Superintendent Adams will keep a
clerk, and the seven watchmen will
continue to watch until all the coin
and bullion i'll the vaults have been
shipped beyond the reach of Car
sons itching palms. When that is
done, couple of watchmcn will guard
the building and machinery from Re
publican and Silver party thieves.
The gardener and Il general rousta-
bout will keep their eyes on the gar
den and the outside movables TO sec
that they do not go up the chimney
along with the missing bullion.
The INDEPENDENT regrets that the
only government institution in Ne
Vada has been closed on account OF
the thcvery Of Il few men. 1t makes
no difference to the thinking man
whether the theft of bullion occurred
under the administration of Mr.. Hof.
er or since Superintendent Adams
took charge. In either case all con-
cerned in swindling the government
are thieves'and should spend term
or years Ill some penitentiary.
1t will be poor consolation to the
men thrown out of employment to
tell them that the bullion was stolen
during the time Mr.. Hofer was Su-
perlntendent and that Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Harris are in no wise respon-
sible for it. This will do for party
palaVer but it dcceives nobody.
If Mr.. Jones had not been retained
as an heirloom of the former admins
tration perhaps no part of the steal
ing would have taken place under Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Harris. But they
preferred IL Republican countryman

You must know that the Chinese is
far more commonly virtuoso than we.
And n Chinese collector is a real con-
Eoisscur. He has no idea of beauty
except to eye it suspiciously as probably
of japanese or other foreign origin; all
he worships is age. And-mark this
most curious trait-antiques of his own
country only. What n conservatism to
boast of this! The Chinese scholar and
virtuoso has the profoundest admiration
for his own country's ancient literature
and art. He will not deign to have any
thing foreign or new on his shelves. 1
think this is somewhat of a rebul1e to
us, hunting for relics of every country
but our own. 1t puts us on the stand

made by single mans lifetime is moth

father, and remote ancestors. They arc
hcirlooms. They arc passed down from
father to son. They are the mark of

AN EXCITING ELOPEMENT.

Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock
Sheriff White was yanked out Of bed by
Dempsey Brown and some half dozen
other white men who live out about
Spicewood Springs. Dempsey had n
doleful tale to tell about Jim Nixon, a
well known character in criminal cir
cles and married man, running away
with his neice, only 10 years old. He
wanted Sheriff White to arrest them, but
stated he was satisfied they had tagged
and stopped the northbound train at
Hooper's switch and boarded it. He
and the other men on their way to town
saw the train stop and when they reached
the switch they found fire burning. near
by. Brown thinks Nixon used a burn
ing stick TO bring the train to a stop.
If he did it's dollars to doughnuts that
the trainmen and passengers expected
to see armed and masked men loot the
train. Nixon is an ex-conyict.
