No Vote No Pay.

Dan Boyd got the props knocked
out from under him Tuesday. One of
the best taxpayers in the county served
notice upon him that her tithes would
no longer go into the store-house and
that she wanted back what she had
already paid. Here is the document
that made Dams treasure vault feel
like 80 cents:
To the Tax Receiver of Washoe
County-Sir: l hereby protest against
the payment of any and all taxes as
sessed against my property situated in
Washoe county, Nevada, for any pur-
pose, and | also demand the return of
all the money collected from me in the
past sixteen years, together with legal
interest thereon, upon the ground that
am not permitted to exercise the
right of suffrage, and thereby have no
vote in the disposition of any moneys
SO collected by taxation. Respectfully,
JANE LAKE.
Treasurer Boyd carried the com
munieation to the Commissioners
room and read it to the board. Mr..
Boyd stated that in his opinion the
case of Bowman VS.. Washoe county
settled the point in question. The rul-
ING in that case was that no taxes
could be recovered except those paid
under execution.-R Journai.

JOE PETE IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Nearly Kills a Piute Indian in An
telope Valley.

Joe Pete, the Washoe Indian who
shot and killed Will Dangberg a year
ago last September, and who broke
out of the Genoa Jail some months
later, is now wanted by Indians who
have heretofore aided him in eluding
the officers of the law. At the head
of this movement is Piute family in
Antelope Valley, the male members of
which consist of an old man and four
grown sons. The old man is known
as "Sam Rickey,o he having worked
on the Hickey ranch a great many
years, and is one of the most intelli-
gent Indians in that section.
Old Sam is looking for Joe Pete be-
cause the latter nearly killed his son,
known as Sunday, last Saturday night
The Indians say Joe Pete had been
stopping at Sans cabin for some time,
and Saturday night he had bottle of
whiskey. He claimed that the young
Indian was trying to get away with
his mahala, and after getting Sunday
drunk, he jumped on him and pounded
his face to jelly with his boot heels.
The victim of Pete's wrath is said to
be in a precarious condition and may
die of his injuries
After the trouble Joe Pete took
refuge in one of the Indian camps, and
Old Sam hearing of the affair, took his
rifle and went to the camp. He told
Joe Pete to come out, but Pete refused
and invited Sam inside. The latter
started to go in, carrying cooked
rifle, but his sons held him back, be-
lieving Pete would shoot him the mo-
ment he entered the door.
Afterwards Pete escaped to the
mountains and the old man and his
sons are now looking for him. Old
Sam is said to be pretty decent In
dian, but when aroused he is a regular
cyclone. Piute vengeance is far
reaching and relentless, and it is prob
able that Sam has made up his mind to
kill Joe Pete and will devote the
remainder of his life, if necessary, to
the completion of the job.
The report comes from Antelope
Valley that the Indians are out with
their rifles and that they intend to get
Joe Pete cheap quick" They will ask
for no assistance from white men, but
will probably claim the rewards when
they have made "good Indian" of
the murderer.
Captain Pete of the Washoes, talking
to COURIER reporter, said that 'sthere
is no doubt that Joe Pete is a ID
bad Indian" and he thought he ought
to be killed.
The Sam Hickey family is on good
terms with many of the Washoe In
dams, and particularly with the rela-
tives of Joe Pete, and it is not improb-
able that they will receive assistance
from some of the Washoes in carrying
out their purpose. Many of the Wash
oes are afraid of Pete and do not care
to have him around.

The Desert Maiden.

When the Desert Maiden sees a youth
whom she fancies, she makes the first
advance. She arrays herself in the
brightest dress and blankets, paints
her face in streaks, bars, dots and
dashes of red, white and yellow paint,
wears coils and coils of beads around
her neck and wrists; and thus adorned
she seeks his society, and tries the
powers of her fascination upon him.
If the feeling is reciprocated, the man
does not say anything but bat disappears
for few hours. When he appears
his face is painted in imitation of hers,
he wears bunch of white feathers on
the crown of his head, a knit under
shirt painted in stripes (circling the
body of green or purple paint. On
each arm, above the elbow, are tied
strips of red cloth, and he wears blue
overals. Now they are constantly
seen in one another's society for three
or four days. This is considered (by
the tribe) the marriage ceremony
rather a long ceremony. After the
fourth day she goes with her man to
his hut and becomes the queen of his
home. She continues to paint her
face until after the birth of her first
child.-Adua,ce

Providing for Government irrigation.

A bill was introduced in Congress
last Tuesday providing for government
irrigation reservoirs in several States,
including Nevada. The bill directs the
Geological Survey to make surveys of
at least four reservoir sites and bitches
therefrom in each of the arid states.
The Director of the Geological Survey
is to report the capacity and cost of
each reservoir and the quantity of
public land to be irrigated therefrom.
The Secretary of the Interior is there
upon required to withdraw from pub
lie entry such reservoir sites and public
lands to be irrigated, and if he decides
that the reservoir and ditch systems
are practical he may advertise for bids
for constructing the same at not to ex-
coed 81, 900, 900 in any state. The bill
appropriates $13, 900 to carry out
the propositions.
Upon the completion of each irriga-
ton project the lands under it are to
be subject to homestead entry at $3.50
per acre, in tracts of not over eighty
acres. When the major part of such
lands are entered upon, the manage
ment of the reservoir and ditch sys-
TENS is to be turned over to the home
steaders, who shall handle them in &C.
cordance with the irrigation laws Of
the state in which they are situated.
The Secretary of the Interior is author
lied to make regulations for carrying
out the intent of Congress.

EDUCATORS MEET.

Teachers Association Listen to a Lecture
on Emerson" By Prof. Emery.
A meeting of the Sherman County
Teachers association was held at the
high school building Saturday. There
was a good representation. County
Superintendent Jones presided over
the meeting. As soon as the house
was called to order the chairman asked
for nominations for the Office Of secre-
tary to ill vacancy. Miss Josephine
DOOliDg was chosen to the Office. Mr..
J. F. Kimmel was elected chorister.
No further business being brought,
Superintendent Jones then introduced
Prof R. D. Emery, of Norton, who gave
an address. His subject was Emerson
as Professional Reading for the
Teacher" It bore evidence of careful
preparation and thought. Prof. Emery
would have teachers read but few au-
thors and knew them well. He eulo-
gized EmersOn's character and adverted
especially TO the purity of his writings
which eYince a great love Of nature,
their lofty moral teachings, and bene-
fetal results attending their reading,
since much vigorous thought is neces-
sary to understand him. The speaker
said that Emerson leaves much to be
CLEANED between the lines" That is
quite true. Emerson was at first a
Unitarian, and on account of his IN
restrained breadth Of religious view he
became a teacher Of idealism and mys-
ticism.
