Serious Injury.

While working in the Central tun-

struck in The eye by piece of rock,
and left last nigh0 for San Francisco to

one Of his eyes, and the good eye is the

Weekly Crop BuetiIIn.
Carson City. May q, 1901.

The forepart of the week ending May
Goth was warm and very favorable to
farming Interests, but the latter part was
quite cool and windy, with rather heavy
frost on several mornings.
Thunder showers occurred in portions
of Eiko county, early i'll the week doing
much good to the ranges and growing
crops.
All reports received indicate that the
grain and alfalfa crops are in excellent
condition and making rapid growth. The
planning of potatoes and gardens is still
in progress. There is complaint that
worms are doing seine damage to gar
denS and alfalfa in northern, southern
and western districts. The OUTLOOK for
fruit continues excellent Fruit trees are
blooming in the extreme nortnern por-
ton, and alfalfa is being cut and stacked
in the extreme southern portion. The
range feed is reported good in nearly
all sections and cattle are getting fat and
sleek.
The Carson and Walker rivers are
overlooking their banks and causing
some damage to adjacent farm lards.

! Section Director, Carson City.

A Novel Suit.

Gardnerville had a novel law suit in
Kahn, a wealthy cigar dealer of San
Francisto brought suit against Henry
Elges, the wealthy Carson Valley
rancber, to recover from him as stake
holder of a certain wager, his proper
ton because he desired to withdraw
from the contest. AS Elges had already
paid the money, under the direction OF
referees, to the other party, he de-
clined to pay the plaintiff. Kahn con-
tented the bet was never properly de-
cided and he was therefor entitled to
withdraw. Defendant relied upon wit
nesses to establish the fact that the bet
had been lost and won and that it was
and consequently illegal and that
neither party to the wager could be
heard to complain in court of JUS
tice. The jury decided for Elges and
assessed the costs, amounting to SO to
Kahn, the 'plaiutitf. Only $3.50 is
involved, and both men claim to be
fighting on principle, and each are de-
| termined to fight the case to finish
| regardless Of eXpen &c. Notice of appeal
| to the District Court has been given.
NJ. Turner represented the plain tiff
and Ed. 7. Dupuis was the attorney
for Henry Elges.

Burned to Death.

An alarm of fire was rung in this
morning about O'Clock for blaze in
the round house of the MOO The
blaze was extineuisLed before the fire
arrived. In some way the
fire caught in the tender of an engine
and the tender was entirely consumed.
The night Waterman was severely
burned and was removed to the hos
pital where he was made as comfort
able as the nature of his injuries would
permit.
Upon arriving at the hospital it was
found that the unfortunate fellows in
juries were more serious than antici-
patad.
He was literally cooked. 1t seems
that his clothes became ignited and be-
ing soaked with oil his body was almost
burned to a crisp before he could eX-
tinguish the flames. But, however, he
did not seem to be very badly injured
and when taken to the hospital was
conscious, and did not seem to be in
much pain.
However, his injuries proved fatal,
and he died at O. clock this evening.
An inquest was held yesterday after
noon and verdict in accordance with
the facts stated above was rendered.
The deceased's name was Joseph
Krause and he had lately returned
from Manila, where he had been in the
service Of Uncle Sans navy.
He had been in the employ Of the
MOO but three days. = Gazette.

The EIko Oh! Boom.

The EIllO Independent has the fol-
lowing regarding the oil prospects in
that section. From the reports, Elko
seems TO be in fair way to become the
boom center OF Nevada:
Mr.. Willis, who made the locations
for the La Monte Oil Company, ar
rived this morning from San Francisco,
where he had been to attend a meeting
of the company. He brings good news
to the people of Elko.
In an interview this afternoon, Mr.
Willis tolG the reporter that a meeting
of the parties interested in the develop
ment of Elk 0 5 oil fields was held last
| Monday, at which it was decided to be-
| gin active operations here as soon as
the necessary machirery could be got
on the ground. 1t was decided that no
stock OF the company would be offered
| for sale. G.. A. Burcham, the Los An
gele5 capitalist, is one of the principal
owners of the La Monte locations and
the company has unlimited capital back
back of it. He is one OF the principal
owners of the famous Yellow Aster gold
mine at Rands burg, Cal.
This company has had the oil fields
examined by three oil experts, all OF
whom have pronounced the surface
