Saltnrass fires.

Last Monday the saltgrass about
the Huyck place, occupied by J. M
Houston, caught fire and spread rap
idly over the field near the Whitacre
house, occupied by Chas. Hilbun,
and back of Frank CAROLS resi-.
Once. Prompt work by those who
discovered the fire was the only
thing that saved a portion of the
town from being burned.
Wednesday afternoon the salt
grass in the back of M. Segal's yard
caught fire and would have done
serious damage had it not been
for the prompt work of bucket
brigade.
Saltgrass burns about as rapidly
as coaloil or powder, and when start
ed must be checked Immediately or
a fire in it is very hard to control.
People owning lots in the town and
fields about the town covered with
saltgrass should have the stuff dug
out or plowed up, as it IS menace
to all buildings around it.

Grabbing Trout.

A couple of Indians were in town
the first of the week with a lot of
fine trout caught near the mouth of
Walker River and in the lake. The
trout sold readily at good prices.
An inspection OF the fish showed
the greater portion of them had been
caught with grab-hook. The fish
and game law is very lenient with
the Indians, especially on reserva-
tons, but it hardly gives them the
privilege to catch fish in this man.
nor, nor does 1t allow them to be
shared, another favorite method of
Piute fishermen.
