or sheep in the northern country to come
into Reno to be fed this Winter. He says
stocknen have shipped all their product
out OF the country. He says there are
about 2. 900 head Of beef being fed in Honey

fully 10000 cattle gone TO the Oregon
Short Line to be shipped into Kansas and
Nebraska TO be fed on 50 80 hay and s
cent corn. The Southern Pacific Company

The HartIey.FoIey Jury Disag rec.


All. Doten writes the following to the
Reno Journal under date OF Nov. 28:
When the U. s.. District Court met this
morning the jury in the Hartley-Foley
case came in with the declaration that they
could not possibly agree. His Honor
stated that they so reported to him last
night, and considering that they bad con-
scientiously tried to do their sworn duty
in the matter according to their spprecia-
ton of the law and evidence involved be
thankfully discharged them.
They stood eight for the juvenile claim
ant to a portion Of the Foley estate and
four against him. The case principally
hinged upon what credence should BE-
placed in the testimony of Mrs. Hartley
the mother Of the boy, declaring thai
Foley made q written statement In hei
presence acknowledging that he was the
father Of the babe then unborn.
Considering the scarcity Of the testi
mony adduced it is evident that the jury
studied the looks Of the little boy befor,
them and were alphabetically influenced
somewhat in his favor.
By agreement Of the attorneys and tht
Court the new trial Of the case will TAX,
place at the next term Of the Court IL
| March next.
