CATTLE QUARANTINE.

Que of the most important features
to the cattle industry In this state at
the present time is the proposed raise
Of the quarantine between California
and Nevada. There are several points
to be considered which many may
not analyze at first glance. For in
stance. If there is no disease among
tue cattle in certain districts OF Cali
fornia, now quaraDtined, as is said to
be the case. what is the reason Of
those districts being i'll quarantine?
Then IL the cattle in those districts
are free from disease and are allowed
by the authorities to he transferred
to other parts, why should Nevada
be named as the sole dumping
ground? Why not allow them to
be taken anywhere in the United
Suites?
Admitting for the sake Of the argu-
ment that the cattle are healthy and
are allowed to be moved into Nevada
only, while the rule may not state in
80 many words that Nevada is thus
placed in the quarantine district, in
effect it would mean just that. For
instance, after such cattle are
brought to Nevada. the rule being
:hat they can be moved only to this
state, woul not the effect be that
they could not be transfer: I'D from
Nevada to any other state? Hence.
would that not literally place us in
quarantine? And IN case Of sale Of
cattle to Eastern buyers, who is to be
the judge of native and foreign cat
tie? The result would be that the
price Of all native cattle would suffer
thereby, and we believe it conserva
tive to say that the drop in price
from present figures would be S5 per
head.
While we regret the frightful cal
amity which confronts the California
cattlemen at the present time, our
state officials should see to it that the
state which has honorod them with
official authority reserves all her
rights of protection. Nevada as d
whole has little to thank California
for in any direction. Her capitalists
enjoy Haunting to the world that they
tlo not care to invest any money in
Nevada enterprises. The California
butchers have grown rich off of Ne
vada cattlemen in the past, and now
that Eastern competition and a
drouth in California has changed
this condition and our people as a
result are on the high road to pros
perity. why check it? Tho claim
that Nevada stock ranges are depict.
ed is all rot, as every stockman who
is i'll the business well knows. Take
Humboldt county for instance, and
we are willing to wager that ON the
first OF September Of this year we will
have us many cattle in the county as
in any year in the past fifteen. 1t is
an established fact that cattle
brought from an infected district to 6
healthy climate will live and thrive
while native cattle which come il
contact with them will die by til,
hundreds. Hence, instead of increas
ing the number 81 cattle on on
ranges by importing them from tn
quarantine district of California W
are very likely to decrease the mum
Der by killing off three natives
every foreign animal imported.
Nevada through the kindness {
Providence has few advantages {
the present time over California, Il
her hold them for her own Poop
who have their every interest Gel
tered here.--Silver State.

 Up to late hour the men or at least some of them, had not been paid, accord ing to their statements.

 Johnson

 The initiative toward disbandment was taken Saturday night just before the rise of the curtain, when the proprietors could not agree as to which one should take possess sion of the days receipts, and difficulty was narrowly averted there and then.
 In consequence of the apparent trouble between the proprietors, the show was de- layed quite awhile and the audience grew impatient. It was decided to call in Alex Troy from the audience to adjust matters. The three agreed on one of the company named Johnson the man to hold the coin, and the performance went on.
 Yesterday morning the trouble came very near terminating fatally for some of the company, and this time it was necessary to call in the police. Nearly all the mem bers stopped at the Windsor hotel with w. s. Cleveland one of the proprietors. Yes- terday morning, shortly after breakfast, Johnson was preparing to pay salaries due the men, When Cleveland heard what was going on in the adjoining room he rushed in and, it is said by the men in there, drew a knife and forced Johnson to deliver up the funds. This occasioned the call for police and special officers Payne and Mur- , phy were dispatched to the hotel. Upon arrival there the officers say they found Cleveland in his own room attempting to slip the roll of money to one of his men. named John Queen. MT. Murphy seized

 Then, too, nearly all the tin-horn gam- piers were on hand ready for a game Cards and dice were very much in evidence as soon as the first company was paid.

The watch was presented by Captain 10. M. Robinson, of the Lomax Rifles, at the so- hcitation of the men of the regiment.
