The Desert Road.

In the last issue of your valuable
paper, | notice that a writ has been
issued by the State Supreme Court to
II. @. Dangberg and others, compell-
ing them to come into court and show
cause why the old Desert road should
not be condemned. l presume your
columns are open to all; therefore, l
shall attempt in the fewest words
possible to give few facts about this
road of pioneer days, and my reasons
for unfolding the stand taken by the
Commissioners:
You say the writ is issued to II. G.
Dangberg and the resident taxpayers
OF the district in which the road is
situated. AS there is not resident
taxpayer in that road district mind
you, not one-it would appear to me
that the Court has been badly misin-
formed.
The road which the Commissioners
are asked to condemn that one per-
son may be benefited thereby, is one
OF the Oldest in this county; has al
ways been and will continue to be a
great convenience to the people living
south of here. 1t is almost a natural
road, requiring but few dollars an
nually to keep it in first class condition.
1t is one OF the few roads that Douglas
county has clear and undisputed
title to. A few years ago bonds were
issued and $1,000 paid that Douglas
might acquire the right and title to
this road. Now we are asked to con-
denim it,
1t appears that a petition to have
the Commissioners close the road
was circulated and signed by a large
number of taxpayers. am not at all
surprised that the people of Gardner
vile signed it. Had they the power
they would have every road in the
county closed but those leading to
that town. But I am surprised that
the people living on the western side
of the valley were so easily mislead.
1t would have looked better for those
not directly interested to have kept
out OF the controversy
Should the Commissioners do that
which will benefit one man or a set of
men and inconvenience and do posi-
tive harm to hundreds? Some,
thoughtlessly, contend that it would
aid Gardnerville materially. When you
take into consideration that droves of
cattle will be driven through the
streets of that town at least once
week, all wild and dangerous, it is
doubtful if the citizens of Gardnerville
would be benefited in the long run.
| do not blame Mr. Dangberg in the
least for attempting to have this road
condemned. We are all looking out
for our own interests. And l believe
the interest of the majority lies in not
having the road condemned.
A TAXPAYER

Wholesale Robbery.

A system of wholesale robbery ex.
tending over period of four months
and resulting in loss of s., goo to the
Gray, Reid, Wright & Co., of Reno,
was brought to an end last Friday,
when Chief of Police Leeper arrested
Walter Wood, manager of the candy
department of the establishment.
The list of arrests now numbers
seven and more are likely to follow.
Harvey Blackwell, a former Carson
valley boy, was arrested at Carson up
on Geographic advices from Chief
Leeper and taken TO Reno. His father
accompanied him. He was released
on $500 cash bail. Judge Mack and
his father are bondsmen.
Lorenzo Barrett, another Carson
valley boy, is being detained pending
an investigation. He is suspected of
having knowingly received some of
the stolen goods.
Blackwell is deeply implicated and
has made long statement duplicating
several others.
The story or the robbery is strange
one. All of the articles were stolen
in the daytime. The method of pro-
ceedure being for one of the accused
to hide an article in place where the
janitor, Blackwell, could easy find it..
Goods were carried out of the store in
broad daylight, and the management
was none the wiser.
The strange feature of the case is
that in no instance that has yet come
to light was the stolen goods
sold or offered for sale. The Black
| well boy seemed to have been very
generous to his young companions
and gave a number of them, according
to their testimony, and their manner
of telling it seems to bear the APP
pearance of truth, suits, hats, and
various articles of underwear. These
articles have been largely recovered.
All of those arrested have confessed
and a term in the state penitentiary
probably awaits them. In this con-
nection the Reno Gazette says:
In an interview today the members
of the firm stated they were loath to
prosecute, but felt that the men who,
it is alleged, had been instrumental in
leading the boys into the thievery
should be punished. On the other
hand they felt sorry for their families
and for them in way, also, and deep
ly regretted the necessity which
seemed to demand in the interest of
justice and good morals that they be
made examples of.
From the feeling manner in which
the members of the firm spoke it was
evident that they looked upon the
prosecution of Dalzell and the two
Woods brothers as a painful duty.
Harvey Blackwell has a host of
| friends here who are exceedingly
panied to here of his downfall. 1t is
to be hoped that Gray, Reid, Wright
Company will consider the interests
of justice and mercy and recommend
that the officers be as lenient as
possible.
The preliminary examinations will
be held tomorrow.
Special to the RECoRD-CoURIER:
Harvey Blackwell has turned states
evidence and will not be prosecuted.
His story startled the owners of the
store and the prosecuting attorney.
| 1t is thrilling tale ofcrime.

ADVANCE IS SCORED
IN STOCK MARKET
Improvement Is Slight, but
Tone of Trade Is Some
what Better

The following stock letters We're wired
yesterday to St Paul brokers by their
New York correspondents:
j. c. Geraghty & Co.'S correspondents
say of stocks:
Logan & Bryan-There is not much
change, but the average is a little bet
ter. There was further selling pressure
on Southern Pacific, but it met with good
buying and soon ceased. There is little
doubt but good deal of this selling is
by the bears. Steel stocks Were. Well
bought. The whole market is dull and
there is nothing new in conditions or COS
sip. There is a slowly increasing conf
dence manifested in Wall street adViceS.
With no help from speculative operations
the general tone Of the market is strong
ons>llght offerings and a moderate in
Vestment demand from idle money. We
advise buying the dividend payers both
IN ponds and In, stocks. We regard any
decline in the general market as unlikely
and think he who waits will buy at high
er prices.
RandOIph-The market opened generally
strong and during the first hour some
further advances on the prices were
made. There was pronounced weakness
in Metropolitan and Metropolitan Sc
cur1tles, which failed to affect the rest
of the list. Manhattan and BROOKLYN
Rapid Transit showed great strength In
the afternoon heavy covering movement
set in Southern Pacific which carried
that stock up sharply is points from
its lowest. As soon as this movement
ceased the stock began to show signs of
oc1S6lHS. dlluOuSh II maintained the
strength fairly we'll The trading for the
most part was confined to the profess
slonal element and the public still con
tlnues to show complete lack of inter
est.
O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter
says:
The stock market has shown an in
cllnatlOn to advance right from the start

the influence of such stocks as United
States Steel preferred, Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific and an Indication of

Southern Pacific plan has been announced
and the street had opportunity of seeing
that perhaps the issuing of stock instead
OF bonds is the only feasible way out of
a nnanc1aI difficulty. that would ultimate
" result to best advantage for all inter
eStS concerned, those who have been
eager the past few days to sell Southern
