Y. & 7. Troubles.

Last evening Frank Murphy, for the
" & T. railroad company, came up
from Carson and swore out warrant
charging G. NJ. Shotwell with being
defaulter. Shotwell just arrived from
Mexico within the past week, was put
as operator yesterday morning, to at
tend to the Virginia and Gold Hill tel
egraph works. He also had the hand
ling of the passenger ticket money,
and the money for freight received in
Gold Hill.
The money from each days tram
saction is forwarded to Carson every
night, and when it was received last
evening it was at once discovered that
$40 was lacking of yesterdays ac-
counts. Shotwell spent last evening
setting 'em up until placed under ar
rest by officer Desmond late last night.
Shotwell today made good the am
cunt taken with the exception OF about
$50 and the charge against him was
withdrawn in consideration of the pay

The Band Concert.

Last evening the Carson public was
entertained by concert given by the
Nevada State Band in the Capitol
square To say that every one en-
joyed the treat would be to put it
mildly.
Last evenings entertainment was the
last that will be given for some time
as a number of the members are leav
ing for other points. Arthur Ray
craft departs for Reno in few days
and he has been one of the main stays
OF the organization. George Vieira
leaves for Boston Sunday and every
one knows that he is an important fac
tor in the band. Ross Meder has gone
to Keller, while Peek and Litchenburg
are on the high seas. Prof. Smith
who brought this musical organization
to perfection is to locate in Reno.
The professor did good work in this
city and too much credit canont be Civ
en- him as an instructor and master in
this art.
In a short time new instructor will
arrive in this city. 1t is new material
that is wanted and all the young mer
who have any desire to learn music
should offer their services. There is
no reason why an excellent band can
not be maintained in this city. The
talent is here and new instructor will
bring it out. The band has been a
great credit to this city and will con-
tinue to shine in its line if the young
men of Carson only take hold of this
opportunity to learn this accomplish.

The Tax List.

Last winter the legislature passed a
law revising the mode of publishing
the tax list OF each county. Formerly
the tax payers name appeared and the
sum total he paid on was opposite
Under the new every item he pays on
and its value will be published The
entire list of this county will fill
space equal to eight pages the size of
the Appeal which means about half
ton of metal that has to be handled by
the printer.
When the list appears it will cause
more "rubbering" among the people
than a sensational trial. If John Brown
pays on a COW that is valued at $50
and Bill Smith pays on one that is
valued at $50 there is apt to be some
thing doing with our assessor and it
will take an increased police force to
keep the neighbors from doing some
hair pulling.
Even the pianos. jewelry and house
hold goods are enumerated Mrs. Jim
Tuley will pick up the list and see that
Mrs Neverwork has a piano. There
will be some uncomplimentary re-
marks passed, which, if heard by the
neighbor with the music box, will
cause the sheriff and assessor to rush
to the scene with the hurry-up.
Not only will the tax list serve as
an instrument of taxation but it will
/ cause the greatest gossip that has ever
been cut loose in family circles.

A Sad Death.

News was received today OF the
death of Thaxter Carroll, only son OF
Paul T. and Berta T. Carroll, Of Oak

Berta Thaxter and little Thaxter was
the idol of her heart A few months
ago the child was seized witha strange
disease resembling paralysis and had
been in a San Francisco hospital for
some time; late reports, however,
were very encouraging and it was
thought that the danger was over. The
physicians are of the opinion that
death resulted from his eating a tart
made of canned jelly and that the jel-

WyIie's Monkey.

The antics of the little pet monkey
chained to a ladder and telegraph pole
in front of Wylies' grocery continue
to attract the youngsters.
A prominent citizen who arranged
last Sunday to have a days sport at
trout fishing, chased about in the hot
sun and carefully collected about forty
grasshoppers which he stored away in
a box
When he started to go fishing Sun
day the insects were all gone and an
investigation proved that his youngest
kid had taken the grasshoppers dow:
to feed Wylie's monkey.
The other day gentleman driving
past in a carriage suddenly found his
horse halted. The monkey had leap
ed from his perch and grabbed the
horse by the bride rein and brought ii
to a standstill. 1t was equivalent tC
saving that he had better stop and buy
something.
The man suddenly remembered tina
his wife had told him to get some
peaches there and but for the inter
ference OF the intelligent animal h.
would have forgotten it.

deal and in a few months he will have
him running errands and possibl,
