CAUGHT ON CROSSING.
Horse Killed and Buggy Smashed. but
the Driver Escaped.

The eleven year old son of Frank
Martin, colored, who runs restaurant
on East Liberty street, was the victim
of serious accident and narrowly
escaped a horrible death on the Liberty
street crossing on the W. G. & A. R.
f. last Monday night. The boy was
coming to town in a buggy to take his
father home as he is accus
toned to do every night, and
just as be was driving across
the track just this side of Tur-
key creek he was caught by the night
freight train. The horse was instantly
killed and the buggy was thrown into
the deep ditch alongside the high en-
bankment. The boy who was in the
buggy and went with it into the ditch
escaped death by a miracle, but was
considerably bruised and received an
injury to his back that has prevented
him from standing since he was re-
moved from the wrecked buggy. It
.is not thought that his injury is sufi-
cient to permanently disable him, but
that is thus far merely matter of
opinion.

The Mayor of Anderson has started
a crusade against the able bodied loaf
ers who infest that town and is send
ing them to the chain gang for thirty
days in default of payment of fine
of $50. He is making no distinction
between white and negro loafers, and
the good roads movement has received
a great impetus. Sumter could stand
a similar crusade, for there is an
abundant supply of material to work
upon.

HOLD UP At PINEw00D.
Negro Robber Forced Railroad Agent to
Open Safe, but it Contained nc Money.

Railroad Agent Kolb, Of Pinewood,
while at work in the depot last
Monday night was surprised by
negro man who entered the
depot and forced him at the
muzzle of a pistol to open the depot
safe. It was a mater of life or death
and Mr.. Kolb readily complied with
the negro's command, without loss of
time, his compliance being the more
willing as thereewas no money in the
safe. The negro searched the safe
thoroughly and found nothing to re-
ward him for his trouble. He backed
out Of the Office and made his escape
in the darkness before Mr.. Kolb could
summon assistance to pursue him.

Should be Treated as Estrays.

The various sheepmen who have oc-
casion to move their sheep here for
shipment or through here en- route to
new feeding grounds, complain of the
less of many sheep in this vicinity, which
was repeated to US a short time ago.
He said that every year in passing
through town on their way to new feed
ing that sheepmen loose a large number
by the sheep straying from the band and
people around town picking them up
aud keeping them, later killing or selling
them. This is all wrong aud contrary to
law. Anyone who finds an estray sheep
has no right whatever to claim the ami
NAL. The law provides that sheep must
be treated the same as any other estray
1t must be taken up and advertised reg
ularly as an estrsy for the period of
thirty days, the notice telling where
found, brand and earmarks.
II the owner does not then come for
ward, prove property and pay the cost
of maintaining and advertising the
sheep becomes the property of the per-
son finding the same. Unless this
curse is followed you are liable to pros
e~cution on the charge Of theft.

Hay High, Cattle Low.

The people of the State are holding on
to their hay with a vengeance this Fall.
Up Carson Valley there is little hay to
sell, as the buyers and stockmen have
secured most Of it for feeding this Win
ter. Some stock has already been driven
in to take up the Winter feed. Pastur-
age is still good but bay is being fed.
Along with the high price of hay cattle
prices are extremely low.
Last week n band of $50 head Of
steers we're sold at the rate OF SIS a
head and a number of calves went with
the bunch. Another lot sold for $18 and
they were in first-class or under. The
reason of the low price for the cattle is
the shortage of the hay crop in other
sections. In a number of places in Cali
fornia the hay crop is a failure, and in
fact. 10 sections of Nevada, a short crop
has been cut which leaves the stock man
with more cattle than hay and a general
unloading is taking place. Cattle are
lower at this time than for three years,
and it is believed that the prices are
down for the entire season.-Lovelock
Tribune.

About S. P. Co. Patents.

We published ar item last week in re
securing patents on all it's unpatented
land 10 Nevada. This company Owls
every alternate section of land for twenty
miles on each side of its right of way.
and in this tract there is liable to be
much good mineral land, some of which
IS no doubt located by ~prospectors.
When the S. P. Co. begins to make pub
LEGATION for it's patents it will behoove
the prospectors and claim owners to stir
about and see that their locations are
not included in the ground being pat
ented by the company. This can be
done by making a protest in time.

In DAYS of Old.

During the boom in White Pine county
the three towns of Hamilton, Treasure
Hill and Shermantown contained a pop
ulation of $1,000. There were 28.000
mining locations and Rec rider Teddy
cleared S44, 600 in fees in less than one
year. He had seven deputies employed,
one Of whom was the late Judge Sabin
of the Nevada United States Court. The
Eberhardt mine produced ten millions
within 100 feet of the surface. one ton OF
the ore netting $2S,0O0. A few people
still have faith in the hidden wealth OF
Treasure Hill, claiming that the long
tunnel driven was not extended far
enough to tap the main ledge.
