Gently she returned. but her condition
showed no improvement. This fact
evidently preyed on the mind Of her
husband and drove him to the rash
act.

dition was such that her physician was
called. About Z o'clock a neighbor Wis
tied the house and found both dead. A
pistol and a note, writtenoy Stckney.

In the letter Stickney said that ow-
ing to the unfortunate condition Of his
wife, her mind being sadly deranged,
he had determined TO kill her and him
self. as he desired to go with her. He
further stated that he left his ranch
TO a sister living in the East.
Professor Stickney was highly edu-
Gated and had good recommendations
from several colleges and universities.
He was connected at one time with
various mines in the capacity Of min
ing engineer.
The Coroner's jury found that both
shots were inflicted by the husband
while he was temporarily insane.

"Hon John Sparks, the COVER

TO SECURE HON
Rules Which Cavern Entries on
the New Canal.

The following letter has been received
by Attorney Charles L. Knox, and 1t
will be we'll for those contemplating
taking up lands on the route OF the new
canal to read the same carefully:
"Your letter of recent date to the
Honorable, the Secretary of the Interior,
las been referred to me for reply. With
it you transmit a let er from G. L.
Knox, Of Reno. Nevada, asking for a
list Of the lands withdrawn from entry
under the Reclamation Law of June IL,
1902, and also asking whether these
lands can be located upon by intending
settlers.
Under the terms Of the law, a copy
Of which is enclosed herewith, the Sec
rotary of the Interior is authorized to
withdraw lands, pending survey and
examination. The lands can be entered
under the Homestead Act only, subject
to certain restrictions as to payment Of
cost OF water to be used In reclamation,
size Of entry, etc. 1t has been ruled
under the wording Of the law that
homestead entrymen can make a filing
upon 100 acres, but that later this
amount can be cut down to 40 or more
acres, according to the discretion of the
Secretary.
In the Ease of Nevada large areas Of
of land have been withdrawn, surveys
and examinations instituted, the gen.
eral feasibility of the projects ascer-
tanned, and certain details worked out.
It has not, however, been considered
wise to delay construction until every
detail has been thoroughly ascertained,
and hence what may be termed a pre-
liminary or partial contract has been let
for the feeder canal from the Truckee
River to the Lower Carson reservoir,
work upon which is now progressing.
The surveys and examinations have
not yet progressed TO q point where II is
possible to aScertain the actual lands 30
be irrigated or the size of the home
stesds. When this Is known the fact
will be made public and entry will be
invited. Pending the determination Of
these facts. homestead entrymen "a
make entries subject tc the provisions OF
the laws and to the charges which the
Secretary may make at q later date.
That is to say, q man may enter upon
I00 acres, bnt when the plans are finally
made this may be reduced TO 40 acres
Before title can be secured he must, of
course, pay for the water and comply
with other requirements not yet stated.
It is a matter Of regret that it is inn
possible not to make ell of the plans
complete at the outset, but we are con-
fronted with two alternatives-one Of
delaying work indefinitely, the other Of
b~eginniug it in part and determining
details later on. 1t is impossible to pre-
vent people making homestead entries
st their own risk, but II they wish to
do so we can only warn them they are
taking certain risks. Whether these
homestead entrymen can ultimately
obtain title or not cannot be decided
until further progress is made.
Very respectfully,
III. G. RIZER,
Acting Director.

the facts of this case. Year after
year the friends of Crowley have
been making a determined effort
to secure for him the blessings of
liberty. In direct opposition to
these efforts on the part of his
friends. his enemies have been
waging a bitter warfare.
The history of the Crowley af-
fair is a part of the political his
tory of Nevada. Many aspira-
tions which would otherwise
have been successful have been
dashed to pieces and scattered
broadcast owing to the aspir-
ants position regarding Crow
ley.
Long before the converting of
the Board when Crowley's name
is before it, the vicinity of the
State Capitol building presents
the appearance of a country
town ON Court Day. His friends
and his enemies are legion and
here they are respectively
gathered in little groups discuss
ing the case, pro and con.
Standing out in bold relief
among the latter is a figure
whose appearance before the
Board is as regular as the tick
of the clock that announces the
time OF the hearing of the case.
She, for such is the figure, is a
diminutive, trail little lady deck
ed in mourning of the deepest
black, the widow Of the man
whose body was thrown down
a shaft to death, and who in her
young motherhood was robbed
of her only support and left with
a family to battle with the
world. She lives, it seems, to
revere the memory of the man
whose name she bears, to haunt
the living SLAYER of her husband
and to see to it that Crowley
dies in the garb of a felon.
And 30 Shall it be until the
curtain falls on the last act OF
this drama and a low mound
indicates that Crowley is no
more.
