ALLEN CONVICTED.
Judge Stevens Sentences Him to ST,
Months in Jail.
Council for Defence Asks That Wit
ness Be Osarmed.

Josiah Allen, whose nimble legs gave
him nearly two. days liberty, since his
first capture Monday night, was up be-
lore Judge Stevens to answer to the
charge of having sold spirituous liquors
to John Cass and George w. Folsom.
The specific allegations which were
mentioned in the warrant were that the
sale of three drinks of whiskey was
made to both Folsom and Cass on June
% and three drinks to Folsom on June
q. Both sales were alleged to have
been made in some woods in the town
of Chelsea, near the government reser-
walton.
When Judge Stevens entered the law
library at the court house which was
utilized as a court room he immediate
ly instructed Sheriffs Rollins and Ames
to bring Allen from the jail In order
that the interim elapsing between the
departure of the officers and their ar
rival with their prisoner should not be
dull and embarrassing a sensation was
created by Mr. Sheldon, who asked that
Mr. Cass, who was TO appear as wit
ness in the case, be searched, as he re-
garded him as a dangerous man to have
in the room when armed.
Yesterday" said Mr.. Sheldon, while
I was making my argument Mr.. Cass
looked very ugly at me and once at
least | saw him reach to his pocket as
if to draw a revolver. I am informed
that he was armed at the time and |
do not propose to go with this trial
when that man is in the room armed
with q dangerous weapon
no No Vny-n1y-ar and
had not had one inside the court room.
Mr.. Folsom, who is associated with
him also stated that Mr.. Cass was not
armed. The court was of the opinion
that it was unnecessary to search the
man and the matter was dropped after
a sharp coloquy between the county at
torney and the counsel for the defence.
The testimony of Mr.. Cass and Mr..
Folsom. which was submitted by the
State was practically the same as the
allegations in the warrants. "A queS-
ton arose as to the exact location OF
the place at which the sales were
made. The defence claimed that If any
sales were made the testimony show
Cd them to have been made on the gov
arpmant reservation over which Judge
stevens had no jurisdiction. After
lengthy discussion of this point the
Judge found the prisoner guilty OF the
charge alleged.
County Attorney Leigh then took the
floor and asked that a money fine be
not imposed. He stated that he thought
that 4 man who had been a pocket ped
der aud who had escaped from the Of
fcers once should be placed in the Gus
todv of the sheriff.
The court then sentenced him to oO
days in Jail upon each warrant or SIX
months upon all. Mr.. Sheldon took an
appeal but stated that he was unapie
10 furnish bonds at this time so ms
prisoner must be remanded to JAN.
County Attorney Leigh requested that
he be notified of any effort to furnlsh
bonds in time for him to get the WI
nesses for the State here from Boston
nreviols to their acceptance as ne
should swear out warrants against Al
len for common seller and nuisance.
The court promised this.

Sugar Beets for Nevada.

Los Angeles parties are negotia-
ting for the Schmidt dam This is
the term applied to one of the oldest
water rights in the State, if not the
Oldest. The appropriation of water
by the people who built the mill at
the outlet of the Humboldt lake was
in the early sixties, and is said to
antedate any location in the Love
lock valley. However that is a MINOR
point, for that property does not
interfere with any rights in the val
ley. This property has an interest
ing story that reads like romance.
Three times it has been dynamited
and as many times rebuilt The first
two times did not seriously injure
the structure.
For many years it has been known
that as fine sugar beets are grown
at White Plains as anywhere. There
is tract of ten thousand acres which
is said to be adapted TO the culture
Of sugar beets. This is the only veg
etabe that will do well in the alkali
soil. The ground is said to be similar
to Cheney valley, California, where
hnatS Urow nrofnSolV
The new company is being pro
NOTED by John Blair, who took up
the matter with Los Angeles parties
aud is meeting with encouragement.
II is believed that a great sugar beet
factory can be establish at White
Plains.
1t is the plan of the new projec-
tors to maintain the dam at its pres
ent height as reservoir and draw
upon it to irrigate the sugar beet
land through tunnel, as projected
by Mr.. Gould some years ago No
doubt it is only a question Of time
until sugar beet factory is estab,
lished in this valley, and the land at
White Plains can be had cheaper
than farther up the valley. Love

II the Comstock lode only had few
sturdy boosters and would run out Of
town all the knockers they possess
and get the newspapers to churn up
some stuff about the mines there
would be some hope for the camp.
As it is now the men that run the
paper haven't energy enough to print
fine news. but refer the reader to
some San Francisco paper for the
news they should print. When any,
thing is found it is kept quiet so that
interested ones can gather IN Just one

HENRYS LITTLE SCHEME.
1t Worked Like a Charm, and His
Wife Was Real Sorry.

"Maria," he said as he entered the
house, speaking before his wife had
time to say a word, "this house is in
an awful condition."
"Why, Henry she began.
'Don't try to excuse YOURSELF" he
interrupted, 'Iook at this room!
] was going to bring friend home
with me, but refrained for fear
that the house would be just in the
condition that / find it in"
'If you had sent word, Henry
"Sent word, Maria! Why should
| have to send word? Why should
any one who claims to be a house
keeper have to be notified so that
The can scurry about and make
things look respectable? And that
gown, Maria. IT'S outrageous to be
dressed in that fashion at this time
of day."

ITS not so good as it was.
You're late, you know"
"Of course, and if | had brought
my friend with me he'd have had to
sit down to cold dinner or one that
was burned to a cinder, and we
should have both felt Inundated
and should have had to apologize.
1t isn't right, Maria. 1t isn't right
at all.
"Really. Henry, / am sorry that
you are so much annoyed"
"Well, | wish you would try to do
little better. It's annoying, very
annoying"
And when he had settled himself
/ in his armchair after dinner he
chuckled to himself and muttered;

German commentators are SAID 10
find in Shakespeare's plays many
things which the author never
dreamed of putting there. And II
German scholars may do this, why
not an English schoolboy?
The late Major Barttelot was edu'
Gated at Rugby, and is still remem-
bered there as the hero of a funny
blunder.
"What is the meaning of the word
'adage? p" asked the master.
Various wild guesses were hazard
ed by different members of the class,
and then it came young Barttelot 5

piled:
"A place to put cats into"
Every one laughed, and the mas
ter, who was as much mystitied as
his pupils by the strange answer
called the boy up at the end OF the
lesson and asked what had put such
an idea into his head.
"Why, sir" said Barttelot'
doesn't it say in Shakespeare, Like
the poor cat in the adage?"
