SERIOUS
CHARGES
LANDER WEN UP FOR CAT
Tile STEALING
Grand Jury Investigating the
Case


been in session for a week investiga-
ting the charge of cattle stealing
against James Watt and George Will
Jams, and it promises to develop into
one of the most sensational cases ever
known in the State. The first named
defendant is brother of George Watt,
the present Sheriff of the county, and
the family is one of the oldest and
most respected in Lander county.
Warrants are now out for the arrest
of James Watt ard Williams, who
were partners in ranch about forty
miles east of Austin, and so far as
known there is no clew to their
present whereabouts. The case has
been complicated by the reported re
fusal of Sheriff Watt to serve war
rant on his brother. Runners are fly-
ing thick and fast in Anstin of others
being implicated at least to the extent
OF having knowledge of the cattle
stealing operations of James Watt and
Williams, which many believe have
been going on for some time, and that
hundreds of head have been stolen
from various cattlemen of Lander and
Eureka counties, brands and earmarks
altered, and the animals shipped out
of the country.
The case against Watt and Williams
| is being prosecuted by the Lander
| County Cattle Association.
| The particular case which the grand
jury has been investigating is the
stealing of about thirty head of cattle
! belonging to Pat Walsh and the Dean
estate. Some Of these cattle were
found on the ranch of Watt and Will
Jams and the remainder were traced
to Reno and Loyalton, Cal. 1t is said
! they were included in a shipment OF
several hundred head made by Mrs
Watt to John Sparks of Reno about
three weeks ago, the latter having dis
posed of a part of them to a cattleman
living at Loyalton.
The cattle stolen were traced by
detectives employed by the Lander as
sociation. The brands and marks hat
been changed, but the work had beer
done in such bungling manner tina
detection was not a difficult matte
and the ownership Of the cattle cal
be easily proven.
The Lander grand jury adjourned t
meet again to-day, pending the arriva
. of the Superintendent of the Dean es
, tate from California. BY him it is eS
pected to prove the ownership of tel
? head of the cattle which were sold t
John Sparks. 1t is the general belle
in Austin that several indictments vii
. be found against James Watt an
! Williams The former was traced t
, Eureka, thence to Elko, and then bac
o to a ranch between Eureka and Au!
/. tin, where the trail was lost Will
Jams disappeared about the time tn
o first facts in regard to the stealth
S became known, and his preser

FOREST
INTERESTS
The commissioner VISITS
THIS SECTION
Finds Nevada's Timber Growth
the Best

Mr.. Charles H. Shinn, representa-
tive of the Division of Forestry, from
Washington, has been visiting this
section 70 the State in the interest of
that department of the United States.
He has AIKEN in a circuit from the Pla
cerville side around Lake Tahoe and
back into this valley from Longabau-
CHS wood camp to this city, and he
has made personal inspection of the
growth of timber in all the canyons
The work has occupied the entire sum
mer and he expects to be in the noun
tains on his mission until the cold
weather drives him out. He is accom-
panied by his wife, who is as deep
ly interested in the study of forestry
as Mr.. Shinn.
In speaking of the observations
made, the statement that the second
growth timber belt of this side of the
Sierras in far ahead of that in CalifOr-
MIA, or in fact of any section on the
coast that he has visited. He was par
ticularly struck by the wonderful
growth in the foot hills back of Was
hoe valley, and his notes in that regi-
on will carry information to the au-
thorities that Nevada has the finest
second growth of pine forest on the
coast
Among his remarks he stated that
it was most outrageous shame the
way in which certain tracts of second
growth timber have been destroyed in
this immediate neighborhood. AS he
expresses it, a mammoth fortune has
| been destroyed for the sake of few
paltry dollars.
| Among the recommendations that he
will make is the reserving of the sec.
ond growth timber around Lake Ia
hoe by the Government, and this is
a part of the work that he covers
He believes that the different States
of the Union should have forest laws
and forest inspectors, as men who
| take up timber land do so with the mo
| tive of total destruction and not with
the idea of judicious cutting. An!
party that owns a timber tract car
have a plan furnished them by the
Government, whereby they can Gu
timber in a manner that is not inju
rious to the forest and leaves the lant
as valuable as before cutting. A mum
Der of big wood concerns have applied
to the Government for this assistance
which has always been furnished an,
the work as planned has resulted il
considerable good.
, The statement of MI Shinn that tn
T State should form forestry laws an
l. appoint inspectors, is a good plan, an
it cannot be acted on too energetica
!, ly by the farmers and the people Q
< this State. The water shed is depe1
: dent on the timber to hold the moi.

2 neither the farmer or the lumberma

Washout in the Narrow Gauge.

The rolling stock of the narrow
gauge railroad has been divided this
week by serious washout between
Townshend and West Townshend sta
tions. The accident occurred in the
early hours of Wednesday morning and
was caused by high water which over
flowed the track and undermined it for
a distance of several hundred feet.
The washout was discovered Wednes-
day morning by the passenger train
and word was sent to Brattleboro by
telephone. Engine No. and the bag
gage car of the mixed train was trans
ferred by team and brought to Brat
tleboro in the baggage coach, reach
ing here about noon. A large wreck
ing force was sent to mend the track
yesterday morning and it is pushing
the work rapidly although the track
will have to be trestled and blocked.
Until the repairs are completed pas
sengers and baggage are transferred
from a point about mile below West
Townshend depot to West Townshend
in teams.
