Robbery at Tuscarora.

Considerable excitement has been
caused in this section by a bullion
steal from the Dexter mine at the
Iuscarora mining camp 60 miles
from Elko. The amount missing is in
the neighborhood of $40, 900. The
Superintendent of the mine and an :
other man suspected of the stealing
hurriedly left the camp while Sheriff
Matter was on the road between here
and Tuscarora with a warrant for
their arrest. A telephone message
was sent from Elko by the Sheriff to
the authorities at that place to arrest
the men, but as they could not be
held without warrant the suspect
ed parties took advantage of the de-
lay and left camp. The Sheriff is
now out looking for the men and
the authorities all along the line
have been notified to watch for them.
The stealing was done several weeks
ago, but no action was taken in the
matter until a few days ago, when
several attorneys arrived from Salt
Lake to attend to the matter News

AFRAID OF HIMSELF.
Mother Had Always Told Him He Was
Reckless,

A slim, middle-aged man with new
bicycle suit had stood for an hour in
front of the emergency hospital. Every
now and then he wiped his eyeglasses
and gazed at the building. Taking his
handkerchief he carefully busted off
place on the curbstone and sat down.
His persistent watching attracted the
attention of one of the attaches of the
institution, who went out to inquire his
business.
This is the emergency hospital, isn't
it?" said the stranger.

HIS BROTHERS. KEEPER.
The Lesson a Big Dog Tried to Teach
a Little One

Little One.
Two dogs are sthl held in pleasant
recollection in Melrose. Mass. One was
a shaggy, numbering elephantine New
foundland named Major, and the other
a sleek, wiry little black-and-tan called
''Kikie." Both Major and Kil1ie have
long since passed to their reward, but
this story of their friendship is still
told by those who knew them.
A few hundred yards from the home
of the woman who owned the dogs was
a railroad crossing Kikie had the
bad habit of rushing down the street To
this crossing whenever he heard the
whistle of an approaching train. He
would then dash along beside the cars
and bark furiously Many a time he
had been punished for it, but the roar
of u train was always too much for his
good resolutions.
One day-the pitcher that goes too
often to the well. you know-some por-
tion of the flying train struck him. He
fell into the ditch beside the track,
and there he lay until old Majors bark
ing attracted the attention of passing
friend.
The little dog was taken home, his
wounds dressed, and his battered frame
nursed back to health During his
conyalescence Major was always with
him, and doubtless often said: Il told
you so" and Il hope this will teach you
lesson"
But, alas for Majors hopes! Kikie
was no sooner out-of-doors again than
he resumed his dangerous habit Major.
however, had apparently made up his
mind that moral suasion was useless,
and physical force must be employed
The next time Kikie started for the
crossing Major followed. The little
dog was light and quick-motioned, and
got into his stride" as the horsemen
say, in the first few yards Major, OF
the other hand, was heavy and slow al
the start, and before he was under full
headway, Kikie was SO yards ahead.
But there was conscious reetitudt
and stern resolve, and the force of 6
moral principle in Majors gait. HI
doubled himself up and let himself ou
in way that was good to see, and he
overlook Kikie within ten yards of tn,
crossing.
With one blow of his paw he battered
his small friend over, placed his grea
foot on the little dogs chest, and he'll
him down while the train rushed by.
Kikie lay perfectly still When tn
last car had passed old Major remove,
his paw with bark and growl whicl
said as plainly as speech: There, yo,
little fool, can't you learn anything
Do you want to get hit by the car
again?" and Kikie got up and followe
Major home with his tail between hi
legs.
Many time all this was repeated, t
the delight of those who saw it. X
kie never failed to get the best start, bu
( Major always caught him before tn
crossing was reached always knocke
him over and held him down till tn
whole train was safely past. Xix
never learned wisdom, but Major neEe
) gave him up as past reformation.
