Charged With Cattle Stealing.

Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Ran
dali Of Lyon county and Sheriff VIII
lam of Churchill county came to this
city and placed Edward McManus
under arrest on a charge of being i'm
plicated in stealing cattle in Lyon and
Churchill counties. They had prev
lously placed Les Douglas, a butcher
Of Dayton, in jail at that place on a
charge Of being a cattle thief.
From what can be learned of the
stealing it appears that for the last two
or three months, Douglas has been
stealing cattle from ranchers in the two
counties named, and killing them and
selling the beef at his shop in Dayton.
The number of cattle stolen amounted
to eighteen. The officers claim to
have a sure cas- against Douglas, but
how deep McManus is implicated they
were not prepared to say, and he may
have been i~nnocently drawn into trouble
by being employed by Douglas and was
perhaps, unaware Of the crooked work
in which he was engaged.
McMannis is confined to his bed by
illness and could not be moved last
night, so two deputy sheriffs have been
engaged to guard him at his house.
1t is sincerely hoped by his friends that
he will be able to clear himself of the
charge as he has therefore, borne a good
reputation.
Les Douglas, the Dayton butcher
accused Of cattle stealing, vas taken
to Saltwater this afternoon by Sheriff
Williams OF Churchill county. He
was handcuffed and had an Oregon
boot on.-Report.
Summerfield and T~orreyson will de-
fend Douglas who will have his pre-
liminary examination Monday.

THE SHIPPERS ON SHORE
THE MEN RATHER GREEN ON
FARMING MATTERS.
The Stories of a Frog and Grasshop-
per, and of Hens With Very Limited
Matching Capacities.

Several shipmasters were yesterday
discussing affairs on the farm, on the
front, and telling one another how
green they were when they got away
from the briny deep. 1t appeared that
most of them did not know much when
they got into the country. One skipper
boasted of how he went for a drive in
New York State and had no trouble eX-
cept when it was time to turn. He
could steer along a straight course, but
he could not tack, and he had to get
out of the rig and take the horse by the
bride to bring her around. In return
ing he oVersailed his port, not being
able to bring the horse to at the end of
the journey
This experience was eclipsed by an
other captain, who told of a strange
creature he had seen hopping along a
country road. The master was accom-
panied by his wife, and the two had
quite a dispute as to the creatures
place in natural history. ITS frog,
said the captains wife. IT'S a grass
hopper" insisted the captain. The lady
stuck to the frog theory and the cap
tain was not convinced until a small
boy came along and was made referee.
He declared that the creature was n
toad, showing that wife was nearly
right, anyhow.
The man who didn't know the differ
ence between a toad and a grasshopper
had the field for a few moments, as
no one seemed able to offer anything
that could compete with him, until a
new arrival spoke up. He met with his
rural throw down in Maine, in which
state he recently accepted an invitation
to a small farm. The captain had Sc
cured some chickens for his ship, and
there were some splendid blooded fowl
on the farm. These attracted much
attention, and the rnatron of the farm
kindly offered to give the captain some
eggs, so that he might take them aboard
and have some chickens Matched. ut
was then that / made my break" said
the captain, in telling of his experience.
Il thanked the lady for the offer and
then / said that she had better not give
me more than two eggs. as my wife had
told me that only two of our hens were
ready to set"
There was nothing to be said after
this. The captain can sail a ship III
competition with anyone, but he ad-
mits that he doesn't know everything
about farm life.
