IT EFFECTS THIRTY
MILES Of FENCE
Uncle Sam and Miller & Lux
Garry Their Quarrel Into
This County

United States Marshall Emmitt has
served notice upon the Nevada agent
Of Miller & Lux that there will be
something doing in the United States
court one of these days. says the Car
son News.
1hls big cattle firm has been using
nearly $4,000 acres of public land for
some Yeas and did not go through the
fofmahty of purchasing it. 1t, how
ever kept others from getting any
benefits from it, by fencing it in. A
few months ago the government took
VI the matter with the result that it
ISSUED warning to all who had fenced
IN the pubic domain, to tear down or
remove their fences Immediately.
Miller & Lux were served with the
official notice two or three times. but
nave paid no attention to it,
The land is in humboldt county and
lies in a large rectangular tract, OF
which Miller & Lux own the four
corners, and occasionally a few for
Ties down one side or the other. They
fenced in the whole tract. however,
and apart from their legitimate hold
ings they included between $1,000 anu
60, coo of Uncle Sans land.
That fence which the government
will undoubtedly order taken down is
estimated to be about thirty miles in
| length. In similar cases, heretofore,
the United States marshal has been
ordered TO not only remove the fence
but destroy it. Should that be the or
der in the present case Marshal EN-
mitt will have on his hands the job or
his life. Taking up thirty miles of
fence posts is no before breakfast un-
dertaking; still when up they will
burn, but to destroy from ninety to
one hundred and twenty miles of barb
ed wire is still a more serious problem.
1t will require quite a force of meh
scme time to accomplish such an or
der.
! Another complaint was made at the
same time against the Golconda Cat
tie Company. who have some 1900 ac-
res of public domain within their
fences. 1t likely was not the inten-
ton of the government to take up the
smaller fry first, but the Golconda
case was brought about by the films
upon some of the fenced land by a
man named Abel, and the course tho
government is froced TO protect his
rights, hence the second suit.-Gazette

A SPOTTER SPOTTED
ON THE SPOT
Contemplate Spy for South
ern Pacific Gets His Just
Deserts at EIkO

From the Elko Independent, Dec. s.
place in Elko that the Independent
cannot pass by in silence, because it
affects the good name of the town as
an orderly, law-abiding community.
The particulars of the affair as near as
we are able to learn them are about as
follows:
For several months a man who gave
his name as John S. Striker has been
around Elko posing as a prospector
and carpenter, but in reality following
the role of a spotter for the Southern
Pacific Company. This is proved by
Crowley. the special agent of that
company in San Francisco, which ac
cidentaIly fell into the hands of our
people. 1t is also charged that Striker
went to several business men in town
and asked them TO assist him to get
TO Ogden by introducing him to a con-
ductor that would pass him over the
road for less than the full fare. In one
instance he is said to have been given
,he name of conductor that would
nelp him along. In this case he said
he would pay his fare to Carlin ana
get on the train there.
Tuesday evening Striker was charg
ed in the Elk saloon with being a rail
road spy. He denied the charge and
was assaulted by several men. He
was afterwards taken by a self-ap-
pointed committee to the Commercial
hotel, where Tom Harney read the in
eliminating letter to him, after he had
denied receiving any such letter. He
was then escorted across the stree;
by the committee and afterwards
went to his room at Mrs. Roach's lodg-
ing house. Here he remained until
ment went to the room, broke a panel
out of the door and took him out. He
had not returned to his room at noon
and nobody seems to know where he
went or what has become of him.
While the Independent cannot and
does not uphold dirty work this man
was doing in this community, it en-
phatically condemns the means thai
were taken to get rid of him. Every
man has rights guaranteed to him
by the law and no self-appointed COM
mittee or other persons have a right
t1 drive him from the community.
Such a proceeding is directly contrary
to law and sure to lead to lawlessness
and crime.
If the purpose of Striker had been
exposed in an orderly way the town
would have been too hot to hold him
and there would have been no cause
foi the lawless actions of last night.

Returns Are Encouraging

From Paradise Valley comes encour-
aging reports that lead to the belief
that the beautiful valley on the north
will become a rival of Winnemucca
and vicinity in the near future in the
matter of population. To those sta
tisticians and prophets who predict
that Nevada's inhabitants will be in
creased ten-fold in number in the next
few years it may be said that in her
modest, unassuming way Humboldt
county is doing all she can to make
their words some true. Since last re-
ports the following births in Paradise
Valley have been recorded:
On December 3, 10 the wife of ]. H.
Bradshaw, a son.

KANSAS CHY'S TURN now
Grand Jury Called to lnvesti-
gate BOOdling

Kansas City. Dec. s.-When the
grand jury called to investigate alleg-
ed boodling in Kansas City, Kansas,
met today, Judge Fischer, of the dis
trlct court. gave explicit instructions
regarding its work.
For years." said he ''it has been
commonly rumored and often openly
charged, that public officers of the
city of Kansas City, Kansas, were in
the habit of soliciting and receiving
bribes. In this community there has
grown to be a sentiment that pure
municipal government is an unobtain-
able thing; that corruption in office Is
conventional crime; that every man
has his price. Such a condition of af-
fairs is appalling and demoralizing.
and no good citizen win refuse to as
sist in eradicating 1t.
There is no offense more despicable
than the betrayal of a public trust for
private gain.
Let no bribe-giver or bribe-taker.
or corrupt public officer escape"
The instructions call for the inves-
tlgation of the prohibitory law. as
well as malfeasance in Office.

THE GALLANT JUDGE
ON DEBATE
Only Words of Praise for

nemucca where he had served as one
Of the judges in the joint debate and
incidentally, ESQ he put iD, witnessed
the football game. 1t being question
ed by the Independent man regarding
the debate, Judge Brown said:
THE Winnemucca debating team OF
three young ladies fairly won the de-
cision. We were charmed with the
Winnemucca girls and at the same
time proud of the Elko boys. The lat
ter had done hard. faithful work In
preparation. which was manifest in
the contest. They presented some con-
vincing arfuments in a manly,
straightforward fashion. Had the de-
bate been decided on the validity oil
the arguments alone the boys would
nave been the victors. But the judges
were required by rules to consider
other points as well as the arguments.

And in the use of language and in

delivery the girls considerably sur
passed their masculine rivals.
The large audience followed the
various speakers with manifestations
OF interest, and, of course, approved
of the decision. 1t was felt that the
girls had won no mean victory ana
much praise was given to the work o.

servitors who would labor for him in
the political vineyard for hire That
he may be an excellent and valuable
senator to the state is another ques-
tion-tine alone will tell that. But
let us have stop to this silly bun
combe about what Senator Newlands
is doing for the state when he isn't
in point of fact doing anything. He
has not invested a dollar here for
years, but selling at enormous profit
his land holdings to invest the money
elsewhere. 1t isn't fair to the men
who in reality are building up the
state. Give credit where 1t is due.
A thousand men in this state today
are more valuable to it in point of do
Ing something to make a great COM
monwealth here than Senator New
lands. The Gazette will be as quick
to recognize and applaud anything
that Senator Newlands does in con-
gress for our benefit and advantage
as any other paper in the state, Of
whatever political complexion it may
be. but we are growing weary of the
utter falsehood and nonsence written
which connects the junior senator of
Nevada in any way, however near or
remote, with the awakening of Ne
vada. His alibi is proved"

MurdererS Run Down

A few days ago announcement was
made of the murder of boy at Gold
field, near Tonopah, by two Spaniards.
who shot the youngster from ambush.
The capture of the mureders was ef-
fe cted in rather a peculiar manner.
Ross Edwards, formerly railroad agent
at Candelaria, is the man who did the
work. He was satisfied that he saw
the men at Hamil, a station near Ben
ton, along the c. & c., in California.
Edwards telegraphed to railroad head
quarter securing permission to use i
handcar, and taking his trusty shot
gun hunted up his men and covered
them. He loaded them on the hand
car, and at the point of his weapon
forced them to pump the outfit down
to Laws, regardless of state lines. and
turned them over to the California au-
thorities, where they will remain until
proper extradition papers are secured

THEIR WELCOME HOME.

Nearly the whole town of Elko was
out last night to welcome the high
school boys on their return from Win
nemucca. A big bonfire blazed and
combs and fire crackers popped as the
t1ain rolled in. When the boys stepped
fl ON the cars they were given a rous-
ing cheer that made them feel good.
The boys were escorted to the fire
by the high school boys and girls. who
sang school songs and otherwise Show
ed their appreciation of the work done
at Winnemucca by their schoolmates.
After some time spent around the fire
The crowd dispersed with nothing bat
kindly thoughts toward the boys who
had so gallantly upheld the honor OF
the Elko county high school in the
football and debating contests at Win
nemucca.
While the Independent is proud of
the work done by the high school team
it urges the boys to greater effort In
the future. Their defeat in the de-
batting contest should not discourage
them. Great armies have won splen-
did victories after suffering terrible
defeats. So 1t will be with the boys
OF the high school if they make the
proper use of their energies in the fu
ture.
