Was that the foe there, entrenched
at the base of the hill, calmly waiting
with muskets primed and ready? But
never a man did he see falter. On
ward they pressed, with music soaring
and flags flying, into the fray and into
the face Of death. Then, when the
first volley had been, met and passed.
they were over the breastworks and
upon the foe. He felt an absence about
him then. He looked for Billy. Billy
was gone! A bullet had carried him
down at the first onslaught, he con-
cluded. Then he saw the men in the
trenches waver for a moment, club
their muskets for last feeble stand.
That was all; then they fled The Fed
eral troops, forgetting their orders in
the enthusiasm Of the moment, were
as quickly over the ramparts and
after them-through woods, over logs,
past gulches, and into the face Of q
murderous musketry from above!
Presently Weak-Eyed reeled and
fell from the marching column. strik-
ing his head as he fell. Grasping a
shade tree by the side of the thor
oughfare he slowly raised himself to
his knees. Had he, too, been struck
by flying bullet? He put his hand
to his head Yes, there was blood!
and the bridge of his nose was gone!
But he forgot the pain momentarily
as he heard the order: Charge the
crest of the hill!" pass from mouth to
mouth as it came from Grant. His
pulses leapt. His blood fairly bounded
at the words. He tried to rise and
obey, but he could neither see nor
walk.
"Hurrah fer th'-stars an'-stripes!'"
he shouted in the exultation of the
moment, but the effort cost him throbs
of pain.
A vehicle full Of belated celebra-
tionists, hurrying after the procession,
heard his shout. ga drunken soldier"
they said. Weak-Eyed thought an
ammunition wagon was hurrying to
the front.
His sight cleared a little after the
first daze from his fall. In the dis
lance he saw clouds of dust arising.

University discipline has reached
another crisis" This time it is a
pretty serious one. Some days ago
President Stubs issued mandate
that all the students on the hill must
remain in quarantine until the social

The students who live down town
were also ordered to remain in their
homes or lodging houses except for
their journeyings to and from the
class rooms.
This caused several of the students
to quit. Later few of them went be-
yond the prescribed bounds and were
promptly dismissed from the college.
The students of Lincoln hall got their
ire up and lifted the quarantine.
Sixty-five more we're expelled. The
boys came down town and talked the
matter over among themselves. max

of citizens, consisting of DR.. Thoma,

Pumping water for irrigation by
electric power has been tried in San
ia Clara Valley, Cal. At the ranch of
F. H. Bean there is a main wire of
the Standard Electric Company. Con-
nections were made with his pumping
plant last week and most successful
experiment of pumping for irrigation
with electricity was made. The re-
suits obtained were from the use of
a five-horse-power,t hree-phase induc-
ton motor attached to an ordinary
centrifugal pump. With the motor
speeded for a two-horse power flow
of $50 gallons OF water was obtained,
and with the power increased to four
horse power almost 400 gallons per
minute were elevated with great force
The water was raised from a well ZIG

Here we have to raise water only from
I twenty to thirty feet-not ten feet in
the vicinity of Gardnerville-and
there is an abundance of it is most
localities, with splendid water power
in the adjacent mountains to generate
electric power. With or without stor

lands in Nevada that can be trans
formed into beautiful homes and pro

The ELKO MURDER
The Defendant Will Plead Self
Defense.

The Elko Independent contains the
following regarding the murder OF
Henry Lawrence near Eiki.
The coroner's inquest over the re-
mains OF Henry Lawrence the colored
man killed at the Vineyard ranch last
Sunday, resulted in a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from PTS
toll wound inflicted by Hubert Sauls.
The evidence or DR.. Olmstead shows
clearly that the bullet entered back
of the right ear and went out of the
mouth, tearing the tongue, shattering
the jaws and badly mutilating the en-
tire front of the mouth. The evidence
of Harris and Hungate deals with the
! finding of the body and the steps TAX
en- by them to notify the officers at
Welle of the crime. Hungate also tes-
tilted that Sauls told him shortly af-
ter Thanksgiving that he (Sauls) and
Lawrence had had some trouble and
that he might have to hurt Lawrence.
Hungate sold Sauls the 44-calibre PTS
sol with which Lawrence was killed.
Constable Moore detailed a CONVEX
sation with Sauls after his arrest in
which Sauls said that the killing grew
out of quarrel over feeding the cat
tie. That Lawrence came at him with
a pitchfork and he told him to stop or
, he would hurt him and hurt him bad
That after he shot Lawrence stagger
