Last week Thursday or Friday
several Piutes and squaws came in
from Pyramid with two wagon loads
of fresh trout. They peddlod the
fish about town until they sold all
they could and then went on to
Virginia. When they returned from
Virginia they proceeded to China
town and purchased whiskey with
which to treat their Dayton friends
1t took but a short time for a
number of the Dayton bucks and
mahalas to become quite hilarious
with their Reservation friends. With
the Reservation Piutes was a good
looking squaw who captured the
heart of Dayton buck, and he
showed her too marked attention to
suit his own squaw, "Susie." The
latter went to Sheriff Littell and
complained that the Reservation
squaw had stolen her man, and
wanted her arrested. The arrest
was not made, however, and Sat
urday night the Indians had gen
eral rumpus on the old Douglass
reservoir fat The good looking
Pyramid squaw had her head cut
open with rock, and some of the
other Piutes were bruised up some.
One Indian was arrested and this
put the others on their guard and
the Pyramid gang picked up their
traps and the wounded squaw and
struck out for home. The Indian
arrested was allowed to go.

Cutting ScraDe.

Last Sunday night two Italians
had a row on Louie Donati's ranch,
on the Carson river, about Is miles
below Dayton, and one of the men,
named Burial, who formerly worked
for Pho Quilici, was severely cut on
the right arm. The man who did
the cutting is named Doretti, and
is a recent arrival from the old
country. He used a butcher knife,
and severed the cords and tendons
of Burali's right arm at the wrist,
so it is doubtful if he will ever have
much use of that arm hereafter.
The wounded man was taken to
Virginia City for treatment, and the
Sheriff is now looking for the man
who did the cutting.

run it's course without the aid of
some reliable cough medicine is liza

it has always given entire satisfac-

This is the only remedy that is

Chas. E. CULVER, who was ar
rested some three months ago for
stealing cattle in Mason Valley,
and who was indicted last Monday
hy the Grand Jury, waived trial
and was sentenced by Judge Mack
10 one year in the State prison, the
llghtest sentence that could be Civ
en-. CULVER was taken to Carson
Tuesday by Sheriff Littell.
The case is a peculiar one. The
prisoner is under eighteen years of
age. He confessed that he stole the
cattle-six cows and five calves
himself, going nine or ten miles to
the Walker Lake Reservation, sep
arating the cattle from band, and
driving them back to Mason Valley
all alone. While Gnlliver shoulders
all the blame and sticks to his
story, there is hardly a person who
believes that he did not have help,
and that there are others who are
more guilty than he is. 1t is proba-
BILE that the boy has been threaten
ed severely if be told Of others who
might have been engaged with him
in taking the cattle, and doing their
bidding by shouldering the crime.
1t is hardly possible that he was
the only one concerned in the
crooked transaction, and there is
not person who does not feel sor-
ny for the boy.

Raise in water Rates.

Joe Douglass, from whose ditch
the boys on the Gold Canyon fiat
have been getting water for mining
purposes, has again raised the price
of water. Formerly the boys were
paying $12 per month for the water
used, which was just that much
found to Douglass during these
times. A few weeks ago the miners
were notified that they would have
to pay $50 per month for the water
A compromise was made, however,
and they paid Douglass 500. Last
Sunday the water was again shut
off and the boys notified that they
would have to pay $50 per month
for the water. Such price is out
of all reason, and 1t has caused a
number of the miners to look for
other diggings than on the fiat. 1t
is apparent that this is just what
Douglass, and possibly the La
Grande Orc Co., intend the raise
should do. 1t is hard lines for the
boys, though.

make the room close, then take a

quantity of tar and turpentine, then
hold the cup over the fire 20 as to
fill the room with fumes. The pa
tient on, inhaling the fumes will
cou gh out the membranous matter
and diphtheria will pass off. The
fumes of the tar and turpentine
loosen the throat and thus afford
the relief that has baffled the skill
