the county Jail at Winnemucca for the
confessed assassination of Spanish
Frank and Frank Jones, evidently has
some wild Indian friends in the vicinity
OF surprise Valley who want to be bad
men. The story has gained circulation
on the Pyramid Lake Reservation that
these bad men have vowed ii Buster
dies with hempen necktie on his car
cass they will proceed to visit this sec
tion OF the country and annihilate in
true injun fashion Captain Dave Nu-
mana, Lee Winnemucca and Humboldt
Nat 'hez, leading lights of the Piute
tribe, for the part they took in ferreting
out the crime. Some days ago Calico
Johnny had occasion to leave his wicki-
up in the middle of the night and saw
wild Indian around the reservation sta
blrs. He watched the stranger walk a
round the barn and the traders store

himself or the object of his visit known.
In the morning the tracks showed that
the visitor wore moccasins OF foreign
make, dislinguishable becanse of straps
or thongs passing under the hollow of

story that Busters friends are after his
scalp-lock, nevertheless he has sent
them word by Frank Spencer that he
would like to hold q palaver with them,
and last week he visited Buster in the
Wipnemucca Jail in search of informa-
ton relating to the matter. He says
Iuster feels fine now but was quite sick
last Spring. Buster does not care what
the outcome of lis trol BILE may be- and
General Buckner told Cap ain Dave that
Buster would have new hearing
"about nine days in January."

1t has been su gesteh and the idea en-
dorsed by some OF the leading journals
OF the country that beginning with the
year 1900 that the system OF computing
time bv months be changed. The prop
osition is ~ have thirteen months, in
stead of twelve, each to have 2S days,
exrept the last which would have 20 and
in leap wears 30. This would make the
same day Of the week fall on the same
day OF Inc month Throughout the year.
There is no question but what such a
change would be lenefit to the bust
ness world, but a transition from the
old system to the new would be decided
