NEW GRADE CONDEMNED.
Work Between Wadsworth and Saliva Uusat'
;sfactorv-New Survey Probable.

tes3Nt'y
one Of the officials of the Southern Pa
cinc Company is authority for the state
ment that a large portion of the newly
constructed grade between Wadsworth
ana Saliva, a siding five miles west Of
wadsworth was condemned by Chief En-
gineer Hood last week when on his in
speetion trip through this section.
The contractors encountered serious diff
aculty in some of their cuts and fills,
owing to the nature of the ground they
were working in. They have been unable
TO make their fills stand or keep the cuts
already completed clear, the ground hav-
ing a shifting tendency, making the new
road a decidedly dangerous piece of track.
On account of the grade between Wads-
worth and Saliva being condemned, the
new grade on the table LAM east of
Wadsworth, recently constructed by Ma
honey Bros. at an enormous expense to
the company will also have to be aban-
doned.
1t is said hat the company now pro-
poses to come around on the north and
west sides of Wadsworth, passing at the
base of mountains near Olinghouse an
yon, striking the new grade again In the
immediate vicinity of Saliva gravel pit.
Such a move will p~rolong the work of
construction between Wadsworth and
Reno. at least six months.
The company expects to have CONNER
cial traffic moving over the newly con-
structed cutoff from Browns to Wads-
worth on November LIST.
An unconhrmed rumor has it hat the
old track from Leete to Wadsworth is
TO be sold to b. f. Leete, which will en-
able him to transport the product of his
salt marshes to the main line of the
Southern Pacific.
Considerable activity has been going on
at Leete the past three months. A large
refining plant has been installed by Mr..
Leete, while large shipments of salt have
been made westward. 1t is said that the
Eagle Salt Works is one Of the significant
portions Of the mechanism Of the Federal
Salt Company of San Francisco, other
wise known as the salt trust.

Farewell Dance.

One of the most enjoyable events of the
season was Professor Ford's farewell
dance given last night. The hall was
crowded, the best families in town being
represented. Professor Ford and family
opened a dancing academy since which
time they have given sever hundred les
sons. The music for the social dances
every Friday evening was furnished by
Professor Ford. wife and daughter, and
was excellent. We very much regret that
anew, and wish him success wherever he
may go.

DISASTER PEAK HOMICIDE.
Nothing From Officers Who Went to Scene of
Killing.

There are no further particulars OBJ
tainable Of the killing Of Marius Retore, a
French sheepman, by Randall Sage,
which occurred near the latter's ranch
in the Disaster Peak country last Mon
day. The party which accompanied Sage
back to the scene of the killing has not
been heard from, though it is believed
it will surely return tonight. The delay
Of the officers in returning cannot be ac-
counted for and is probably responsible
for a rumor circulated here today to the
effect hat Sage has escaped. The rumor
could not be traced to any reliable source
and there is probably not the slightest
foundation for it.
This case bids fair to become one Of
the most exciting of any ever heard in
the criminal courts of the county. The
sheepmen are very bitter over the killing
and it is likely that they will prosecute
the case vigorously. 1t is said that they
have retained f. X. Murphy and II. War

Attorney in handling the case against
Sage. On the other hand, the latter has
cured the services of W.. S.. Bonnifield.
one of the best lawyers in the State, to
defend him. 1t will be a hard-fought bat
tie. one in which the mall ranchers and
the s%heepmen of the northen part of the
county will doubtless array themselves
solidly against each other.
The absence of particulars except those
of a conflicting nature, makes it impossi-
BILE to judge at this time whether or not
the killing was justified. as Sage claimed
in his story.

Words of Advice Given on His Sixty

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator Thomas
Collier Platt was sixty-nine years Old
yesterday. and he said:
Il am happy in receiving the many
evidences Of friendship and esteem that
have come to me from all parts Of my
native State, and from many parts OF
the country. But those are personal.
ard do not care 70 cnuEE:ate them for
the public. All that have 20 say is That

fectly as ! can"

INSURANCE MAN
SERIOUS TROUBLE
TO SHIP HORSES FOR
SOUTH african FARMS
British to Rcopen Their Depot at New
Orleans and the Chal-
:nette Station.

NEW ORLEANS. July ia cable
:: an from England announces that the
British will reopen their horse and mule
depot at New Orleans for the purpose OF
restocking the Transvaal farms. Yes
tcrday. when the stables located at
Chalmctte by the British were about to
be destroyed. a cablegram was received
asking that this be not done.
W. J. Hammond. the steamship agent
who went to England to try and
secure the renewal of the South Afri-
can horse trade. cabled that he and
Captain Marsham who had charge of the
business, were en- route to New Orleans
10 reopen them.
The horse and mule stable was closed
just before the declaration of peace with
South Africa. and it was thought to be
due to the report Of Governor Heard
that the British mule camp was a for
eign military station on American soil.
1t was understood that the mules and
horses would be handled through Can
ada.
The return OF Captain Marsham would
indicate that ;hc British find New Or
leans the better port. II is generally
estimated that it will take slightly more
than a year to ship to South Africa the
mules and horses needed to rest0ck The
Boer farms.

DISTRICT CLERKS PAID.
Delay in Distribution of Semi Monthly
Salary Ends Yesterday.

The delay in the semi-monthly pay
ment of the clerks and employees at the
District building. which had been occa-
sioning much inconvenience among the
employees. came to an end yesterday af-
ternoon when Mr.. Rodgers. the disburs-
ing officer. and Mr.. Petty. the auditor
succeeded in hurrying matters through
at the Treasury Department and secur-
ing the necessary vouchers on which to
obtain the money for the impatient
workers.
The delay was occasioned by the delay
of Congress in passing the District ap-
propriation bill. This, in conjunction
with many other appropriation bills
which were passed at the last moment.
and even after the beginning OF the
present fiscal year. caused such con-
gestion of work in the Treasury as to
fairly swamp the employees of that de-
partment.
