Starting the Ball Rolling.

t. A. StroSnider was down from his
ranch this week on cattle business
He has been hustling this season, and
recently returned from Sodaville
where he contracted to sell several
carloads of barley to teamstcrs haul
ing into Tonopah Two carloads of
grain have already been shipped and
another carload leaves Waubuska to-
morrow Ike will also soon ship sew
eral hundred boxes of apples from
this valley to Tonopah, and says he
can contract to ship to that same
point any quantity of potatoes if the
growers will give him the same
prices at Waubuska as they take
from San Francisco and Sacramento
buyers. Probably considerable hay
will be shipped from here also, but
alfalfa is not the best of feed for work
animals. Mr.. Strosnider will ship a
number of carloads of tame oat hay.
There is no reason why the farmers
of this valley should not cultivate "a
good market for their produce in
Tonopah and Sodaville, and it is
hoped that others will keep the ball
rolling which Ike has started. Yer

JUSTICE may be thwarted in the
Rice murder case by the death OF
the principal witness, says the
Fort Worth Register. Valet Jones,
who was Patrick's accomplice in
the alleged poisoning of million
aire Rice, is slowly dying, and
probably will not be alive when
the case comes on for trial. As
his testimony 5 depended upon for
a conviction, Patrick may escape
hanging. The death OF his wit
ness. however, will not let him off
free, for there are several forgery
charges against him that depend
upon other evidence.
