There are two boys who manage to
be rather unru!y in school, and their
teacher was so eNaSperated one day
that she ordered them to remain after

the task. Some fifteen minutes later
one of them grew uneasy and began to

No Trace of Him.

Many conflicting reports concern
ing {. a. Andrews were abroad this
week. 1t seems that some drummer
spread the report that he saw the
missing man in San Francisco, and
that he was employed around a livery
stable. This rumor, however, has
gained little credence, as it is hardly
probable that man possessing as
much cunningness as Andrews, would
stay in town where sooner or later
he would meet some old acquaintance.
1t is too improbable to be given a Sec
.ond thought.
Another report was to the effect
that mercantile collection agency
which is hunting Andrews had located
him in California. This is denied by
the agency's representative who was
here the other day.

A Runaway.

While homeward bound last Satur-
day night, Jake Werner stopped his
team, alighted from the wagon and
started to pay his respects to bark
ing dog. He was handing the canine
large bouquets of rock when his team
concluded to move on.
AT one of the sharp turns in the road
above Valleys Springs, Robert Falcke
and Martin Canonica observed streak
OF dust coming in their direction.
Before they had time to ascertain its
nature, Jake's team was upon them.
and they were thrown from their
buggy. Robert luckily escaped injury
but Martin had rib cracked, his arm
badly bruised and several bad cuts
about the head. Their buggy was
completely demolished. Jake's team
proceeded to their home and awaited
the voice of their master.

Will Mather's Condition.

a letter from San Francisco says
that Will Mather, who is at the ST.
Josephs hospital, is not receiving prop
er attention or medical care.
1t states that some days ago he asked
the doctors to examine his leg for the
bullet, as he could feel it. He was
told he was dreaming. A few days
later piece of the bullet as large as a
ten cent piece was removed from his
leg and its retention has been very bad
for the wound and they are now oblig-
ed to amputate his leg six inches below
the knee.
1t is very unfortunate that his leg
could not have been saved and most
everyone is of the opinion that with
proper treatment it could have been.
The many friends of Will in this sec
ton feel sorry for him in his predica-
ment and trust that he will pull out
all right, even if he is shy a foot.

Shelter Talk.

a meeting of the stockholders of the
Carson VALLEY Smeltring Company
was held this week. Representatives
of the Winters mine were present and
as a result it is probable that the two
companies will consolidate and form
new company. The new company
will own the Shelter and Winters
mine, and stock sufficient to give the
corporation start will be put on the
market.
TO work the ore successfully a new
jacket would have to be installed at
the smelter, otherwise but little ex-
pense in getting things under way
would incur.
There is no doubt as to the success
ofthe project, when once it is started.
The ore supply at the Winters mine is
almost unlimited and it is purely a
smelling ore. Other Pine Nut pro-
perties could be depended upon to
supply considerable ore, and the
smelter would then pay handsome
dividends. While all the details are
not perfected, it is almost certain that
the pending proposition will be car
ried out.

IDENTIFY not having enough confidence
in the future of Gardnerville to invest
a few dollars in a new plant. What
little we have is invested here, and il
we are forced to quit, it will be with
the thought that we have at least done
all in our power TO advance the in
terests of Douglas county. 1t rests
with the people to say whether they
prefer an outside affair to control a
small field or one whose proprietors
have every cent they possess invested
here. Time will tell.

believe, will make its initial appear

Not the Same Man.

A good many people of this valley
are under the impression that the
Hazen postmaster in Jail at Fallon for
attempted murder, formerly resided in
this valley. A letter from friend
there states that such is not the case.
The Lawrence in question has no re-
semblance to the Chas. Lawrence who
formerly resided here.
The Lawrence in Jail at Fallon is
described as man of small statue and
of nervous disposition. He is also
said to be great rustler. Whatever
other resemblance the two may bear,
the Carson Valley Lawrence could
hardly be accused of being a rustler
