A LIE NAILED
Carson Appeal Publishes
false RumOr

Yesterdays Carson Appeal has the
following:
A law manufactured by the last leg
islature provides that electric light
companies must connect with houses
and other buildings when the wiring
IS according to the rules of the under
writers, whether performed by an
agent OF the company or not. The
Wlnnemucca light company refuses to
connect with houses, unless they have
been wired by their own electrician
and action will be brought against
them under this law. Il was well un-
derstood at the time OF the introduc-
ton Of the bill in the Assembly that
II was TO deal with the situation in
WLnnemucca especially.
The above is not true even in part.
as to the attitude of the Winnemucca
Water & Light company. No requests
70 wire houses, stores or other build

is not working against its own in
terests by refusing business. and the
law is not being violated. No actions
are contemplated or warranted. and

STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC
On Behalf of the Water and
Light Company.
winnemucca, New, June 9Th.

Editor Silver State-While I am not
in the habit Of regarding such silly
and uncalled for criticisms, as unjust
as they are untrue, as recently ap-
peared in a local news % paper, a
TRADE of abuse directed against the
Winnemucca Water & Light company.
it seems to me that so plain a mis-
representation of facts should be cor
rected, and therefore l wish TO make
this statement.
The paper in question, referring TO
aimed and directed against the Win
nemucca Water & Light company.
says:
The law is of local interest just
now as it is likely TO be tested In
the courts unless the Winnemucca
Water & Light company recedes
from the arrogant position il has
assumed towards business men who
have had their buildings wired By
another electrician than that EN-
ployed by the company"
Now, / merely desire TO state that
the accusation above made does not
apply in the least TO this company;
there is not corporation in the state
| will venture TO say that has "a
little trouble with or complaint from
its patrons as the Winnemueca Water
& Light company. Our charges ar
reasonable, both in consideration Of
our heavy operating expenses and a.
compared with those of companies do
ing business in other places. No fair
minded person will say that We have
any arrogant position" TO reeede from
We are ready at any time to comply
with a request TO furnish lights for
any building, as a matter OF fact. are
glad TO do so. from business stand
point The act of the legislature re-
ferred TO has fallen far short OF its
intended object, and instead of being
a detriment to the company, has been
a benefit Therefore we are doubly
glad 10 comply with IL.

Editor Silver State, winnemucca.
Nevada, Dear Sir:-I noticed an in
auiry in your paper concerning Giles
Blood, and can furnish some infor-
nation, although he may have been
found ere this by those looking for
him.
My brother, S. B. Thornton. and /
happened to be coming from Cotton
wood, Churchill county, on the 9th
day of May, and about ten or twelve
miles from Kitten Springs, a small
place just over the summit from Cot
tonwood, We met an old man who
claimed to be over seventy-five years
of age. He said he hadn't tasted food
for seven days nor water for about
two days. AS 1t happened we were
driving milk COW and We threw a
rope on her and got enough milk to
considerably revive him.
After that we took him back TO
Kitten Springs to one of our houses
and gave him some water. We had
killed a young rabbit and gave 1t to
him, also what lunch we had left. AS
IL was only a short distance over to
Cottonwood, and he said he was able
TO go that far, we left him.
There is cabin at Kitten Springs
containing a stove and some bedding,
SO We had no doubt but that he
would manage all right
We told him TO write to US and he
said he would, but we haven't heard
from him as yet. Yours,
J. E. THORNTON.
P. S.-This man gave his name as
Giles Blood, age over seventy-hve;
hH had been in the hospital at Win
Iemucca for some time, having had
his leg broken. He said he started
f1om Kennedy TO Kyle's ranch and
got lost. J. E. 7.

GAME PRESERVATION.
Law Prohibiting Sale Of Game at All
Times Proving Potent Aid.

From the Century.
The best blow for game preservation was
struck when laws were enacted prohibiting
the sale of game at all times. A dlfhculty
was encountered at frst owing to the con.
flict of laws in the different states Birds
were offered for sale in a state where the
sale was Illegal, and the evidence was al>
ways at hand that they were killed in an.
other state. where the shooting season was
open. The words wherever killed. were
soon added to the laws prohibiting sales,
and these were supplemented by laws pro-
hibiting the transportation and expectation
of game. and making 1t misdemeanor to
have it in possession in close seasons.
The national Congress recently enacted a
law, known as the Lacey law, charging the
duties and powers of the Department OF
Agriculture so as to include the preserva-
ton, distribution, Introduction and restora-
ton of game birds and other wild birds.
This law was passed Ito aid in the resto-
United States adapted thereto where the
same have become scarce or extinct, ana
also to regulate the introduction Of Ameri-
can or foreign birds or animals In localities
where they have not heretofore existed 1t
prohibits the transportation by Interstate
commerce of game killed in violation of To-
cal laws. That a sentiment has developed
in favor of the execution of the game laws
is well known, to their sorrow, to many
innkeepers, common carriers and dealers,
Constitutional questions have been raised,
and cases growing out of the killing of a
few cartridges have gone to the Supreme
Court of the United States. 1t is gratifying
to the sportsmen that the laws have usually
been upheld. This has always been the
case excepting where too little care was
exercised in their framing. There was
much bungling I'm the earlier legislation.
There is some today

SUFFERINGS IN MACEDONIA.
Hardships Endured by Unfortunate
Peonle Reduced to Beggary.

A description Of the hardships experienced
by the unfortunate people in the troubled
districts Of Macedonia, both from the In
surgents and the Turkish troops, is given
in a letter received by Mr.. j. D. Croissant
of this city, who spent some time in Mace
donio, Bulgaria and Asiatic Turkey while
on a recent trip abroad. The letter, from
which the following extract was made, was
written from Samakov, Bulgaria. and was
dated October 20. 1t states:
1.-THE poor people were in their fields when
they were told to flee. SO they came with
what they had on. Those in their houses
snatched few things, but the majority
have only what they had with them at
that instant. They were well-to-do peas
ants, with plenty Of clothing-coarse to be
sure-bedding. live stock and fertile fields
and now they are reduced to beggary. They
had three days journey to make on foot.
Four babies we're born during their flight.
One woman had to abandon her new born
babe at the boundary. Another woman with
a babe on her back wondered why it was
quiet SO long, SO she took it down and
found that 1t had been killed by a stray
bullet, and she never knew it.
1.-THE Turks are bad, but the situation in
Macedonia since the insurgent committees
have been at work have increased the
misery a thousand fold. They tried to
prove that life was uncomfortable under Turk
ish rule and indeed 1t was far from being
safe or pleasant. There will be many, many
appeals to the American public for aid for
these suffering refugees. Now the Bulgar-
ians have got to face the ugly charge that
they planned and carried out Miss Stone s
capture. Her capture, 1t is said. was
planned in Bulgaria, although carried out
in Turkey, by Buigarians, some of whom
were Turkish subjects no doubt. The money
was paid to Bulgarians. They wouldn't
have Turk around at the time.
1.-TWO of our best Protestant pastors,
Messrs. Pofoff and Furnajieff are starting
soon for England and America That there
Is urgent need for relief there is no doubt.
especially in Monastir. The destruction of
life and property has been awful The
poor villagers were between two fires If
they did not join the insurgents they were

has already shipped sixteen trainloads and
other cattlemen have done about the same.
The cause of this Is that Texas as a range
country is no longer able to care for the
herds that once covered it's vast plains.
Our company had leases on 100 sections
of school land all about the little station OF
rico. We had about 10000 cattle all the
me. Under this arrangement we could
make money. But only few months ago
le Rock Islands Choctaw line came to
Jerico, and then a development began
which has been wonderful and ruinous TO
range people. The Rock Island company
sank wells on the land we gave 1t ana
erected $4,000 water plant. Then the
road began bringing settlers in by the
hundreds Why it made rate Of $50 for
the round trip from Chicago, and train
after train came in loaded down with home
seekers. There was not enough wagons
to take them about tho country.
LAS we had leased the school land sub
ject to sale at any time" continued Mr..
Darden, 1.-The state began selling section
upon section Of our leased land. The trou-
BILE was that the sections that were sold
were scattered all about in our leased tract,
and we were not only obliged to give up
the land, but had to fence each tract sold
and ride the fence to see that none Of our
stock got into the sold sections. This was
very expensive. Our land was swiftly en-
croached upon and became less and less
adequate for range. The little town of
Jerico, which only last spring was only a
whistling station, is now growing rap
idly, and a Sunday school established there
a few weeks ago had an attendance Of forty
youngsters, all of whom were children Of
recent settlers. This is a great thing for
the state of Texas and for the southwest
and Kansas City, but it Is fatal to the
range man. You can't Craze cattle on
S. an acre land, and we would have had
to pay that if we had bought the school
land. Texas isn't what 1t was twenty
years ago. when I went to Jerico," con-
cluded Mr.. Darden, with a sigh, land
guess we frontiersmen will have to move
on with the buffalo and the Indians"

Tree Stump Travelling Down Hill.
From the Hickman CKy.) Courier.

From the Hickman (Ky.) Courier.
There exists In Hickman what probably
has never been seen anywhere else in this
country-a travelling tree stump. Not more
than two years ago residents who lived on
the hill, every day turned out of the beaten
path to circumvent a large tree stump
in the middle of the sidewalk. That tree
stump Is now some thirty feet from the
spot where 1t grew, having slid down the
side hill that distance. AS 1t gradually
moved out of the walk the hole left was
filed up. and when it eventually was clear
the sidewalk was rebuilt and no more
thought given to the phenomenon. other
than they were pleased that the stump
had moved out of the way. The stump
was formerly an elm tree and measured
some two feet in diameter When 1t was
cut down is not definitely known. 1t Is yet
some distance to the bottom of the hill,
and it is altogether likely that the stump
will not rest until it goes the full length.
