NINE MONTHS IN JAIL,
The Sentence Imposed on J. H.
B. Harris.

j. II. B. Harris, who was convict
ed OF sending obscene matter through
the mails, was last Wednesday sen
fenced by Judge Hawley to nine
months Imprisonment in the Storey
county Jail.
When the time came to pass the
sentence, says the Caeson Appeal,
Judge Hawley asked the prisoner if
he had any reason to advance why
sentence should not be passed, and
Samuel Platt, defendants attorney,
asked the Court for leniency and
make strong plea. The Judge over
ruled the motion to quash the indict-
ment.
The csse OF Harris is a peculiar
one. He has lived the life of a her.
NIT for many years, most of the time
being spent in tunnels that he claim
ed were on his property. On com
plant of the Silver Peak Mines Co.
he has several times been elected
from these tunnels Harris has been
before the Court many times and the
trouble has always been between the
Blairs, owners OF the Silver Peak
mines, and Harris. To nearly every
case the decisions have been against
him.
In his long fight for what he con-
siders right he has grown to regard
the world with suspicion Men at
the Peak refuse to converse with him
and he used the mails as a medium to
express his feelings, and if for any
cause the letters were not promptly
delivered Harris would file a COM
plant with the Department at Wash
ington. He kept the postal authori-
ties in hot water continually and was
as well posted on the postal laws as
the inspectors. He received the lat
est rulings of the department, and
when the country Postmaster failed
in branch of the service, on went
complaint. This made more enc
mics for him, and when he let his
foot slip and violated one of the pos
tai laws, he was also reported to the
authorities Harris was caught fair
and square and will have to suffer
the consequences.
1t is said that through the inter
ference of Harris the sale of the
great Silver Peak mines has been
broken several times. The Postmas-
tiers along the line and the inspect
ors will also draw a long breath and
enjoy a season of relief while Harris
is a guest of Sheriff Quirk of Storey
county.

A Rousine Reception.

Mel Ward aud wife arrived on
Sundays train, their advent being
heralded by prolonged blast from
engineer Cagwins whistle. Shortly
after their arrival they received the
customary vigorous, if discordaut,
charivari from the younger element
of the community.
Later ia the evening a large nun.
Der of older and more sedate friends
assembled at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Tehan, each armed with
an implement designed to create a
disturbance of the peace. Frank
Regain carried the drum. DR.. Berry
the trombone, Tom Watterson the
mandolin, Alvey Miller a buzz saw
and hammer, each man had an empty
coal oil can and clubs. The ladies,
less noisy, carried cymbals, penny
whistles, jewsharps, baby rattles,
etc. The Introductory overture was
played in front of A. T. Taylor's res
idence, where the fugitives had found
refuge. Pen cannot picture din so
awful, aud it was not abated until
the Sheriff and posse appeared put a
stop to it. When the doors were
opened the victims were found in a
state of utter collapse. They soon
rallied, however, and very pleasant
hour was enjoyed by all. Congratu-
lations, music, and, incidentally, wine
and cake, were the features of the
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ward will reside in
the residence formerly occupied by
Mrs. Osborne

Railroad Talk.

VIM. e. Cox, writing from Los An
geles to the Bishop Register, says;
g You have doubtless heard that the
Kramer & Johannesburg railroad has
been sold and tnat the Southern Pa
cific is presumably the purchaser. l
have but little doubt that the Los
Angeles, Daggett n Tonopah road
will be built, with branch to kee-
Ter, distance of about 40 miles.
From another source we are told
that competent expert, selected by
the Southern Pacific Company, has
stated that Touopah will not be in
condition for three years to make a
railroad connection with the camp
from a financial standpoint.

NOT THE SAME NAMES.

In reviewing a book about Breasts

against the confusion that may arise
in their minds by tie application Of
the same mime to different birds in
England aud the United States. THE
