Struck by pancake" Bullet.

Speaking of pancake bullets"
said the Colonel, 81 met Gen. Walter
c. Newberry on the street the other
day, and while we stood talking he
seemed nervous, throwing his weight
first on one foot and then on the
other. changing frequently. But he
wasn't nervous. 1 knew that and j
knew also why he seemed nervous.
When the head of our column crossed
the James and advanced toward
Petersburg, Newberry was lieutenant
colonel of the Twenty-fourth New
York cavalry. When what was left
of us got back Newberry was the
senior officer in the cavalry division.
In that advance, when we reached
the Petersburg and Norfolk railroad.
we ran up against the real thing in the
way of defensive works. Col. New
berry led the advance and struck an
angle of the works and soon his line
was in the air, supports not being able
to get up because of the enemy's ter
rife fire. Three brigade commanders
fell in the attempt to reach New
berry, but he did not retire until the
enemy began to envelop his tanks.
The line went back in some disorder,
but Newberry was cool and deliberate
and when we got under cover of the
creek he went back with a squad to
make a Judgment in front.
"As usual, the Colonel was in the
lead, and after he had posted the boys
to his satisfaction, he started to rejoin
us in line. When he got down under
the brow of the little hill and only his
head and shoulders were exposed a
rebel sharpshooter blazed away at
him. The bullet struck big oak tree,
f1attening out like a pancake, glanced
off. and struck Newberry on the top
of his head in front. The bullet had a
fiat surface, nearly as large as a
silver dollar, and when it struck his
head Newberry went down as though
he had been shot through the heart.
Almost Immediately he put his
hand to his head expecting to find
blood. AS his senses returned he
looked at his hand and then felt his
head again. Finding no blood an ex-
preston of disgust came over his
face, he believing he had been struck
by spent ball. However, that pan
cake bullet. affected the muscles OF
the Generals left side and ever since
he has appeared nervous on his feet.
1t isn't nerves. however; it is a case
of pancake bullet, case of wound
that did not break the skin, but left
its mark. "-Chicago Inter Ocean

lelegraDhiC Communication
Has Been Established.
Rate VIII Be SIS

SEATTLE, Wash, April 4.-Tele-
graphic communication between this
city and Nome, on Bering Sea, was
opened some time Wednesday. Seve-
raj messages have already been receiv-
ed for transmission. The first came
from Chicago.
The line from Seattle to Vancouver
l. controlled by the Western Union
and Postal, from Vancouver to Ash
croft, by the Canadian Pacific, from
Ashcroft to Eagle, via Dawson, by the
Canadian government and from Eagle
to Nome by the United States gov
eminent.
There is at present a telegraph line
between Valdes and Eagle.
The last piece forming the con-
Meeting link is 200 miles of insulated
cable laid on the ground. A letter
dated Nome, January IA, was receiv-
ed here March %. Notwithstanding
the heavy tolls, which will probably
be $5 for ten words, the saving in
time will be so great that it is eX-
pected the new inc will pay from the
start.

CARSON IN
DIAN SCHOOL
Observation-Disclosures
er Extent Than Is
Supposed

The following from the Carson City
Appeal will be new to many people
in this State. 1t is gratifying to know
that the work of educating and max
ing the Indians self-sustaining is
meeting with success:
The Carson Indian school is so close
at hand that our people perhaps little
realize what hive of industry it is.
The shoe shops at the school will
turn out this year about twelve hun
dred pairs of shoes, all of which will
be issued to the pupils, besides sew
eral sets of harness will be made in
this shop.
In the tailoring department about
four hundred suits will be made for
issue to pupils.
Special pains are taken to teach
blacksmithing, for which, the super
intendent says, the Indian boy has an
aptness, and a large number of
wagons will be turned out this year.
There is a class of thirteen boys in
the carpenter shop, who have COM
pleted during the year, a four-room
Office building, which in workmanship
and neatness is a credit to them.
The girls are trained in domestic
work of all kinds and are able to
obtain positions readily when they re-
turn home.
There are nine grades in the literary
department and while there their lit
erary education is not neglected.
The special feature of the school is
to fit the Indian boy and girl to go
out to earn their own living.

Effect OF
DECISION
Judge Adams Ruling in the
Celebrated Wabash
Case

The laboring world will view with
mixed feelings the decision of Judge
Adams of ST. Louis, in dissolving the
injunction in the celebrated Wabash
case. The corporations concerned ap-
pear to have been greatly pleased
with the decision, and while it is gen
orally denounced in organized labor
circles, both sides agree that it was
step in advance in the matter of
government by injunction"
The corporation interests endeavor-
ed to prove that a conspiracy was be-
ing formed to interfere with inter-
state commerce and the transmission
of the U. S. mails; that certain labor
leaders were at the head of this con-
spiracy, organizing the operators of
the Wabash railway system into a
readiness to strike and so cripple the
commerce and the forwarding of the
mails The further and connected
claim was made that this organizing
of a strike was for the purpose of TAX
ing the railroad company at a dis
advantage, stopping its business, and
causing it serious loss in business, and
in damages; to destroy it's property,
and to permanently cripple its trans
portation business, all against public
! policy and contrary to law.
After a patient hearing, Judge Ad-
ans holds that the conspiracy is not
proved; that the organizing alleged,
to stop interstate commerce and the
transmission of the mails is not prov
ed, nor are the other matters so proved
and connected with the results feared
as to constitute an offense at law
Consequently, he dissolves the injunc-
tion. and releases the sureties.
The decision will doubtless be bene-
fetal in many respects. The indica-
tions are that the leaders OF both SIDES
of the controversy are already con-
sidering conciliatory measures, and IL
is to be hoped that the resulting action
will be a peaceful and satisfactory So
luton of the difficulty.

AS soon as the weather permits a
pipe line will be put in to convey
water from Clear creek canyon to the
Carson Indian school, The pipe line
will be a little more than two miles
long and large enough to supply water
for domestic and irrigation purposes.
1t will obviate the necessity of pump
ing water for the school as the intake
of the pipe line is 250 feet above the
school ground.-News.

Last summer two amateur prospect
ors picked up a bit of quartz near the
big d north of town, which returned
them $50 when horned out.
Needless to say they spent several
days looking for the ledge, but with
out success. To find the ledge looks
like a hopeless proposition, for spec
linens of rock, half gold, have been
found on all sides of Carson City
within a radius of five miles. and the
same ledge cannot make the circuit
of the country.

This extremely rich float has been
the bane of the amateur prospector's
existence ever since the early mining
days on the Comstock. No ledge has
ever been found that approached it
in value. True the Athens mine west
of the city produced a few tons of
$1,000 ore, but even this ore is not
in it with the float under discussion.
Either there is hidden wealth galore
in this vicinity or nature has been
playing a huge joke on the unsuspect-
ing prospector.

The Southern Pacific company has
decided on a new departure for Great
ing new offices on all passenger
trains except the overland limited. The
new official will be designated as as
s:stant conductor and will perform
the usual duties of the conductor. with
the exception of handling the train
crews and train orders. He will look
after the collection of tickets and fares
aud all the duties connected there
with, thus leaving the conductor in
charge, free from all auxiliary work,
and with a clear mind to run his
train aud thereby better protect the
travelling public. The company Is
trying this as an experiment. The
eastern roads have a like arrange
ment, and it is their claim that the
operation of such a plan will have
tendency to minimize the wrecks
on the system.
