SAYS He was Robbed.

Last Saturdays train brought a
man named Lane and another named
Tobias from Tonopah. The former
was drunk and made complaint to
Sheriff ingalls, that Tobias had stolen
$500 out of his pocket on the train.
Tobias was arrested, searched and
nothing of value found on him so
he was liberated. Next day Lane
continued on his journey. After his
departure, Tobias exhibited two 500
gold pieces. He was again arrested
and $3.50 found in his pockets. He
says he'found the money. Our Off
GERS are trying to locate Lane and
have him appear in Court against
Tobias, who is held in Jail. 1t is re-
ported that Lane is in Reno hospi-
tai, under treatment for delirium
tremens.

A Quadruple Hanging.

The Carson News says the fou,
men sent to the State prison from
Winnemucca to be hanged are con.
hned IN the second upper tier of cells
In the main cell room, and occupy the
hrst four cells from the entrance Of
the lower floor. The condemned In
dian occupies the fifth cell, and the
next three are vacant, thus complete.
ly isolating the condemned men from
all other prisoners of the institution
The death watch consists of six
men-Jack Wall, Alex. Mechanics,
Van Patton, Mike Smith, Frank
woodward and John Wilson-work-
ing eight hour shifts. Two are on
duty at lime, and they constantly
patrol the bridge in front OF the cells.
Many people have curiosity to
see the condemned men, but no one
is allowed to see them unless the con-
iemned men request it, and even
then circumstances will greatly gov
ERR the case.
The men will be hanged from one
galfows to be erected in the yard,
and of course this means the hang
ing of one at time, and it will take
about four hours to complete the ex-
ecution.
When the men were delivered to
prison authorities they we're the best
dressed prisoners received by the in-
stitution in several years. They were
at once put in stripes, but on the day
of the execution they will meet death
in civilian clothes. No one will ever
know who actually springs the trap.
In cell in the inner portion of the
prison will be placed three electric
buttons. One of them will connect
with the trap of the gallows out in
the yard. The other two will be
dummies.
The Indian does not seem to real
ize his position, and is constantly
asking when they are going to let
him out.

From Luning.

Fermina Serrias is developing her
copper mines near Lunlng. From
cursory examination of the surface,
it would seem that there is almost an
exexhaustible quantity of copper on
these claims, but owing to scarcity
of funds, she has been unable to dc
much work. Here is a chance for
capital to make investments that
would yield big returns.
A company is already contemplat-

THE QUAINT JAPANESE.
Peculiaritles In Their Methods of
Living and Eating.

Beauty, from a Japanese standpoint,
consists in a long. oval face, regular
features, almond shaped eyes. sloplng
slightly upward, high, narrow fore
head and abundance Of smooth, black
hair. Their movements are graceful
although the, style of their dress pre-
vents them walking with ease; their
feet and hands are dellcately formed
and their manners unquestionably
charming.
They take little or no exercise, and
one wonders sometimes how the little
ladies employ their time-there seems
so little to be done in a Japanese
house. To begin with, there are no
regular meals. The shops near at
hand supply daily numberless little
dishes, which seem to be eaten at all
hours OF the day and night--a few
pecks at a time--with those impossi-
BILE little chopsticks. Very little is
kept in the larder except some slices of
dalkon, fermented turnip, some rice
and sweet biscuits.
THE honorable live fish" Is sold by
men who carry large water tubs from

is required from the unfortunate fish
and replace the sadly mutilated but
still struggling remains back in the
tub.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful Bread
is never used, so there is no necessity
for an oven.
The great stand by is tea. A Japan
ese lady is seldom seen in her home
without the quaint little tea tray by
her side, and the inevitable pipe, con
tanning one whiff Of tobacco. which Is
in constant requlsition.-Cornhill Mag

Never Tied by Its Master Because II

"You see that little horse over there"
said Major Tom williams, standing on
the edge of the sidewalk viewing a
small black pony. "That horse has
more Of the traditional horse sense
than his size would show for" He
continued watch him"
The major whlstled a few times, and
the little horse, which was nibbling
from a bale Of hay on the sidewalk.
raised his head and crossed the street.
He brought the cart to which he was
attached at standstill just in front of
the major.
"You see" said Major williams,
"that horse has an eye for distance. 1
couldn't have driven him better than
that. That horse, too, is a natural
scavenger. He viii pick up anything
he sees on the street, If he wants to
eat it. never hitch him when / get
out Of the team, and he goes the length
Of the block picking up banana peel
ings, eating hay, corn or anything he
takes a fancy to. When 1 want him,
l only need to whistle"
At this point large, white dog
brushed against the major with a
friendly wag Of the tail.
"You never saw that dog kiss the
pony, did you? Well, watch him"
Major Williams climbed into his cart,
and, calling the dog, said, "Kiss him."
Without a moments hesitation the dog
ran to the head Of the horse, and,
jumping several feet off the ground
''kissed" the pony several times.-New
