SENATOR LEAvITT has introduced
relief bill to recover money ex-i
pended in litigation over a certain
piece of property in Mason Valley.
We think that in justice 10 all
parties concerned the hill aheuld
pass. Some four years ago a lot in
Yerington was sold to Mr.. Leavit
and he proceeded to build upon il
and there is now fine stone stsUct-
ure thereon When the building
was about half completed it was
found that the title to the lot was
not good. The taxes on the lot had
gone delinquent, been bought in by
Lyon county. and again sold to an
other party The matter was taken
into the courts aud Lyon county
recovered the property, but she can
not sell it now according to the
Courts decision, except by public
sale. If sold this way the proper
ty which has been much improved
would probably be bid up to a high
figure, and to retain it Mr. Leavitt
would have to purchase above the
highest bidder his own store build
ing. This state of affairs all came
about by the negligence or careless
ness of former county official.
An injustice has been done Mr..
Leavitt in the matter and he is en-
titled to get his property into bis
own hands again, which the bill
will allow him to do if it is passed.

The Legislature is figuring on
closing its session some time next
week. 1t is claimed by some that
members cannot draw pay after so
days. Where snch law is on the
Statutes we are unable to say. In
1891 the Legislature made a law
limiting the session to 40 days. In
1893 this law was amended making
the session so days, and in 1895
both of these laws were. repealed.
The Constitution says the Legisla-
ture may hold so days, but no
more. Now, if the present Legisla-
ture holds go days, why can't the
members draw pay for that time?
There is no law on the Statutes
which says they cannot.

In referring to Senator Living
ston's newspaper bill the hadepend
ent says: If this Legislature shall
have the right to say where citi-
zen shall have his printing dnue, it
has the right to compel him to buy
his groceries and provisions of a
certain dealer. There is as much
justice in the one proposition as
there is in the other" The bill
does not contemplate interfering
with any private individual getting
his printing done in any office he
chooses. Read the bill carefully
and yon will probably not be able
to find any fault with it.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A GIRL
Her Body Found i'm an AristOcratic
Locality in Omaha.

OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 29.-At an early
hour this morning the body of a pretty
young woman was found in the gutter in
Park Avenue, in a locality given up to
aristocratic residences. A paper carrier
made the discovery. Late tonight she was
identified as Miss Lizzie McAuliff of 2929
Laramie Street, Denver. She had been
visiting friends for some time at 1878 Day.
export Street, Omaha.
The case is a mysterious one, and the
city detectives are unable to solve it.
Tonight the chief of police says the man
they think committed the murder has left
town, and they are after him. Why il was
done and how the body reached the spot
it did without attracting attention are pc
culiar features of the affair.
The young woman was not known to
have a single male acquaintance in the
city. She was seen alive about o'clock
last night by her friends for the last time
At that time she started uptown for a little
fresh air.
The body was found on the opposite side
of the city two miles from where she
was staying Her head was crushed as
if by heavy bar of iron. and her clothes
were torn as if thrown from a buggy and
dragged. People living near where the
girls body was found say they heard a
woman's screams in the night, but police
men who passed the point where the body
was found every hour during the night in
sist that the girls body could not have
been where it was found at . O'Clock this

A RACE WITH DEATH.
Thrilling Experience OF "a Brewery
Hand in MASKING Tub.

PATERSON, N. j., Aug. 29.-Abraham
Sapiro an employe at the brewery of Katz
Bros, has charge of the MASKING tubs in
which the malt is boiled. In the centre
of each one of these tubs there is a
shaft to which are attached two sets OF
steel knives. When the upright shaft re-
wolves the knives are driven about at great
speed, and so the malt is mixed. One of
the mash tubs was empty and Sapiro was
cleaning the machine. He was In the great
vat and had practically completed his task
when he asked Thomas McCay, who was
assisting him, to go and turn a lever in
the next room which is used to start the
feeding of the malt into the mixer Nc
Cay raised the lever which starts the cen
tral shaft in the tub. Sapiro was still in
the tub and as he saw the knives begin to
move walked along the copper bottom rap
idly to keep out of the way. The knives
moved faster and soon Sapiro was running
at top speed with one knife before him as
PAGER and others behind him as chasers.
McCay, who came running into the room,
was so Mortified he was rooted to the
ground, and in a daze watched the chase.
Sapiro cried desperately for help. The
shaft had reached its maximum speed and
the man between the knives could not last
long. In the mean time a slip on the cop
per bottom meant horrible death Sapiro
was on his last legs when workmen from
other parts of the building having heard
his agoniZed cries, reached him One of
these had the presence of mind to signal
the engineer and in a moment the ma
chinery began to slacken speed. Until it
stopped Sapiro had to be very careful to
slacken up at the same rate as the knives.
The runner then fell to the bottom of the
vat exhausted He had been at top speed
for nearly five minutes racing with death.
He was unhurt

Facts About Her Shortage of Coal on
the Chilean Coast.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-The cruiser
Newark arrived here late this afternoon
without firing the usual salute This was
due TO the fact that Naval Cadet Johnson
was so seriously ill that the captain feared
the result of the shock of the guns From
one OF the officers the facts were learned
in regard to the scarcity OF coal on the
Chilean coast, which might have caused the
loss of the cruiser in case of sudden storm.
This officer said: we were badly DELAYED
coming through the straits off Port Lima.
The supply was found 10 be so low that il
was decided to send men ashore and get
wood. One hundred and fifty cords wera
cut, but II was SO green that it burned poor
ly and did not make good steam Then the
captain secured about 120 tons of coal from
Chilean gunboat OF Ancord This lasted
until the cruiser reached Valparaiso. No one
on board seems to know exactly how the
shortage occurred. The general theory is
that the engineers men wasted the coal and
thus reduced what barely proved to
be sufficient. How complaint reached
Washington so that court-martial was or
dered l can't see, for if Captain Goodrich
reported Engineer Moriz he would have no.

thought the matter would be dismissed with

nez, the aspirant for the Presidency of San
to Domingo, has not been able to surmount
the difficulties in the way of his reaching
Santo Domingo in time to head the revolu-
tionists there. General Wood refused to
allow him to proceed today on Haitian
steamer which has been waiting here for
week on the pretext Of repairing her ma
chinery. Two other Haitian steamers are
in port. In the natural course they should
have cleared some time ago, but they have
not done so, and their delay is not under

that they should carry men to aid Jimi-
nez, who will be compelled to remain on
the steamer which brought him here until
orders regarding him are received from
Havana. He is greatly incensed by his de-
tentioD. A number of Cuban sympathi-
