VIII Dryer. a young man living in
Carlin had a terrible experience yes
terday. He was riding on the rodeo
about 20 miles north Of Carlin. when
his horse fell with him. breaking his
right leg between the knee and ankle.
The accident occurred about 9 O'Clock
in the morning and Dryer was without
water for nearly eight hours. Notwith-
standing his helpless condition he final
ly dragged himself a quarter Of a mile
to a creek, relieved his burning thirst
and made a fire. His comrades in
camp became alarmed at Dryers alb
sence and. on seeing the smoke from
his fire, went to 1t and found him. AS
500 as possible the young man vas
taken to his mothers home in Carlin.

CHURCHILL COUNTY.

The topography Of Churchill county
is very peculiar. Its sinks, sloughs.
lakes. salt beds and alkali flats have
long attracted attention. II is sup
posed by many that the waters Of that
county reach the ocean through a sys-
tenn Of subterranean channels. Others
think different and claim that the wa
tiers do not sink. but the extreme dry
ness Of the atmosphere and soil in
duces extraordinary evaporation and
absorption. Humboldt lake. a large
portion Of which is in Churchill county,
receives the waters Of Humboldt river,
the longest stream in the State. When
the lake is we'll filled II discharges Its
surplus waters Into Humboldt and
CARSON sinks to the south Of II by
means Of connecting sloughs. Carson
lake, in the southwestern part Of the
county Is akcutst2 miles in diameter
and about SO feet deep at the utmost.
Like Humboldt lake It Is Of an irregu-
lar circular shape; has low. fiat shores
and connects with Humboldt and Car
son sinks. Its waters are alkeline and
contain two or three species Of unpalat-
able fish, on which large locks Of wild
birds. as gulls, p~elicans, swan, ducks.
ETC., subsist. The waters Of Humboldt
river greatly deteriorate as they ap-
proach Humboldt lake. AT various To-
calities in Churchill county are mud
lakes and alkali flats. They are slight
ly basin shaped and are composed Of
stiff clays nearly impervious to water.
During the wet weather they become
wide lakes. having a depth, however,
of only one or two. feet. When the
water sinks or evaporates. leaving the
basin only moderately wet. it is still i'm
passable to teams on account Of its
miry condition. When II becomes
perfectly dry its surface is covered with
alkali or salt, and is SO hard that a
wagon wheel hardly leaves an impress
ion on II in passing. Several Of these
lakes are of great present and pros
pective value on account Of their chem
ical deposits. The Carson Sink
Mountains, running in a northerly d.
rection through the central portion of
the county; the Clan Alpine Range.
the D~esatoiya, Humboldt and Night
ingale are the principal mountains in
the county. In the mountains and
along the foothills, is a growth Of
natural grasses which is we'll adapted
to the nourlshment Of live stock. The
mineral resources Of the county are
practically undeveloped but very prom
islngs-Argus.

AN action has been made in the dis
trict court by the state against Ada
county. 1t is OF great interest to all
the counties OF the state as all will be
affected by the results. Prior TO 1895
the state made a general levy for state
revenues. In 1895 the law was changed
each county now being assessed lump
sum. The counties are delinquent under
both laws, the aggregate amount due
the state being very large. The diff
Guilty is that a proportion OF the taxes
become delinquent and the rule has
been TO hold back the states proportion
Of these deliDguencies. But there is no
PROVISION for the state to acquire any
OF the property taken by the counties
at tie tax sales and consequently the
accounts remain open indefinitely. The
suit brought now is for S796.47 for which
the county is delinquent for 1897. 1t Is
TO be test case for the government OF
the counties in all other cases. Another
suit Is to be instituted TO determine the
points with reference ~ delinquencies
arising prior to 1895.

Frankfort. XIV, March 81. John
Powers told me they had two negroes
here to kill Goebel. They were Hook
err Smith and Dick Coombs."
This statement was made Saturday
by T.. Wharton Golden, frail, con-
sumptiye-looking Kentucky noun
taineer. while ON the witness stand in
the preliminary examination of Secre-
tary of State Powers. charged with
conspiracy to kill Goebel.
Golden told a story of events leading
I'D TO the murder, that. if snbstanti-
ated, will, in the minds of those con-
nected with the prosecution at least.
probably go far toward proving the
contentious Of the commonwealth
that the murder was the result of q
plan in which several prominent men
were involved.
Whether the defense will seek to
impeach Golden's testimony In this
preliminary examination is not known,
Us the attorneys for the defense will
not talk on the subject. but unless
such attempt is made the common
| wealth will rest its case, as both
County Attorney Potsgrove and At
torney Campbell are satisfied that

hold the defendant on the charges.
Golden, who claims to have been q
friend to Secretary Powers and ms
brother, John Powers, for hours gave
testimony that was
Particularly Damaging
to JOHN Powers, but he also brought In
the names of several Others including
Charles Finley, w. III. CultOn and
Gov. Taylor, in his story of the bring
ing of the mountaineers to Frankfort
previous to the assassination. Gov.
Taylor, however, was not directly IND
plicated, and the attorneys for the
commonwealth intimated that they 40

alleged conspiracy Golden was NOT

count of his physical condition, the
witness having slight hemorrnage
during The morning session. and De
came so weak under the strain OF the
examination In the afternoon that ne
begged to be allowed a respite, He
was quite nervous at times. Golden $
testimony tended TO show that plan
was made TO bring several hundred
regular mountain feudists"sto Frank
fort who would. IL necessary, as Gold
en- expressed it, "ge into the legislative
hall and kill off enough Democrats 10
make it go our way" The testimony
did not show that the alleged plot TO
Kill Goebel was part Of the original
plan, nor did it contain the names OF
those who conceived that idea.
