Altered Fraud.

Papers were filed, Friday afternoon,
with the clerk of the Z. S. Court, at
Carson, which will cause considerable
anxiety to parties on land in the vicinity
OF Reno. The papers alleged:
Charles Musso, "a Sioux half-breed In
dian, resided On the reservation In Min
nesota, on July II 1854, when the act oil
Congress of that date was passed. BY
this act every Sioux alf-breed was en-
titled to 480 acres of any government
lands that were un-suryeyed or subject
to presumption. 1t is alleged that WIS.
Chapman claimed to be attorney-in-fact
for Musso, and through forged papers,
applied for a patent on the land which is
near Reno, and received it on September
l5, 1864. In the meantime, Charles
Musso turned up and upon being made
acquainted with his rights, applied for
his scrip in April 1892, and in this way
the fraud was discovered. The estab-
lishment Of the allegation, it is expected,
will make the patent void, and the title
of those ow enjoying its benefits will be
worthless, ana it will become the prop
erty of the half-breed Indian. Those
now residing on the land and who will
be the defendants in the five actions,
are as follows:
A. T. Rice, Sierra Nevada Wood and
Lumber Co., a corporation, John Boy
ington, NJ. j. Kelly, George Alt, Robert
Steel, Mrs. w. L. White, j. NJ. Higgins,
Sarah C. Higgins, Mary H. Higgins,
Emma NJ. Higgins, Bessie A. Higgins,
Francis f. Adams, Donald r. NJ. Steel
and Mary f. Wilson.-Gazette.

The territorial sanitary live stock
board of New Mexico has quarantined
against cattle from Mexico and in the
future all Mexican cattle will have to
pass through the Ell Paso port. The or
der Of the New Mexico board placing a
prohibitive embargo on Mexican cattle was
sudden and peremptory, and from Capt.
Alexander Lobb, government inspector,
the Times learns that the quarantine left
2,l0O head of cattle on the line, thus en-
failing a severe loss on the owners who
had carried the cattle to the line for ex-
portation into this country through New
Mexico.
It is understood that the New Mexico
board made no investigation, but are act
ing on wild rumors to the effect that large
numbers of the cattle brought out of Mex
leo died OF Texas fever and that they were
burned to prevent the proper authorities
from discovering the presence Of the
disease. The officers are of the opinion
that II any cattle have been killed and
burned they we're smuggled stock and
we're destroyed BY the smugglers to save
themselves, and who then started the
fever stories to cover up their crooked
nese.-El Paso Times.

4 Curious Railroad Contract

The Great Western railroad Of Eng
land has just had to pay 100000 to
free itself from the obligation to stop
every train n Swindon station for ten
minutes. In 1911, before the road had
reached Bristol, it made an agreement
for nincty-niue years with a firm of
builders to hold every train carrying
passengers. mot being sent express or
for special purposes. for Il reasonable
period of about ten minutes" at Swim
don. IN consideration of the erection Of
suitable refreShmcnt rooms. for which
Il rent Of a penny year was to he
paid The railroad soon found out the
inconvenience e the arrangement and
tried to break it. The courts in 1876
and in 1872 held that express" did
not mean in the contract what is now
meant by express train; but the price
asked for the aHnulment of the con
ceSSion was always more than the
company was willing to pay. After
fight of over fifty years it has been
driven by the competition of other
roads to buy ont its opponents. and
the ten-minute stop of fast expresses
at Swiudon is now a thing of the past

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE.
1t Handles rs Much Mail Matter rs
the Whole of Europe

The United States has 100000
population. Europe has 3SO000,000.-
But the United States postoffice han
dies about as much mail matter as all
Europe put together. In 1870 the
United States railway mail handled
10.TT,SI5.O4O pieces. Mulhal gives
the number of pieces in all Europe as
&. 237. OU0. 900 in 1SSS Some increase
has taken place since then, and Rus
STA is omitted from Mulhall's tables:
but the aggregate to-day * not over
11.oOOOOO.OOO or just about equal TO
our railway mail service mail
The cost Of our mail service is far
below the aggregate of all Europe.
The entire cost of our postal system IN
1893 was SN4.3214Sg. y return Just
made hy the Bernie International Blu
reau gives the expense" of the eight
European nations. which combine post
and telegraph expenses At SlNI!blO.-

1N93 about 1000. 100000 pieces for
$21oOOO.0OO. willie this country han
died about the same number of pieces
for SS5.OGOWO.
This diSprOportion is. however, no
credit 10 the | mtrd States. II IS due
to the fact that in almost all Euro
peans countries farmers have their
mail delivered ut their doors. Here
the farmer IS required 10 70 for his
mail. Abroad rural and city districts
are treated alike in free delivery. save
that deliveries are moro frequent in
cities than in the country.
The United States Post Office De
partmcnt is not only the greatest in
the World-and its expenditure is
greater than that Of any one country,

Spcdlart. Europe handled 5.S34 eco 900
pieces of posta! matter. The aggrc-

In the same period the mail matter in
our own post office department has
grown nearly thrcefold In 1865 the
Frankfurtcr 'Zeitung" placed the total
number of letters in the whole world
at 2.3O0.0OOGO0. Down to 1883 this

A YEAR IN \ WAGON.
The Home on Wheels of an Artist
and His Wife

II. ]. Brewer, the well known artist,
late of the California Magazine staff,
and his wife have lived for over a
year in a cottage on wheels. Their
movable residence is at present in a
lot in Alameda. where they are located
under spreading oak. and where
they intend TO stay during the coming
winter.
Their house is Il result Of Mr.. Brew
cr's attempt to secure a place whore
he could work Al his art and still be ut
liberty to 20 where he wished. The
house was built in 1891. at a cost Of
about SJ.OH. and Mr.. Brewer said re-
Gently that he had already made
enough hy the saving in rent and eX-
penS"S to pay for it. The van is some
what similar to those in use by gyp-
sizes. but is fitted up i'll much more
comfortable style 1t has one room 10
feet long, ~ feet wide and 6 feet ;
inches high. and in this space Mr..
PrrWer and his wife have lived, slept
and eaten for the last year. At one
end of the wagon, over the wheels. is
a raised platform. and here is a pocket
edition of Il cooking stove with col
lection of shining pots and pans gath
cred around it. Under the seat of the
wagon is Mrs. Brewers cupboard. ana
her table consists of the top of the
big trunk. which contains the ward
robe of the pair.
The sleeping apartments are. how
ever. The greatest puzzle to the unin-
itidtcd. The beds consist of two big
cushions laid ont upon the floor of the
wagon, and the bedding Is stored in a
box under the wagon, reached by 4
trap-duor in lis floor.
The little house has plenty of light.
