In-noI,-. G Queer Things.

The queer actions OF what appeared
10 he a bright star III the eastern heay-
ems interested hundreds OF Reno people
four or five hours last evening. On
every street corner crowds could be
seen gazing lltently OF the orb as it
would appear and then disappear i'll the
skies. Each time it would assume a
different shape, IN more fantastic than
the other. To some the light appeared
to be moving in a zig gag course from
north to south, yet others maintained
that it remained stationary.
BE this as it may, the star acted
aueerly, and but for the fact that Viz
ginia City, Carson, Winnemucca, Wads-
worth and Truckee reported similar
phenomena, it might be possible that it
was clouds passing over the face OF q
bright light that caused it to appear
and disappear at regular intervals.
Added to this was the fact that the
lesser stars III the heavens seemed to be
loosened from their position in tile
skies and at times it seemed as il the
earth. was being showered with bright
satellites raining down from the vaults
OF heaven. This phenomena WAS &C.

All kinds OF theories we're advanced

copied was that a heavy black cloud

fact that other towns in Nevada and

helped to dispel this theory.
Another theory is that the temporary

When Senator Knox was attorney

the Northern Securities combination,
SAYS the Quincy Herald. In that liti-

was illegal. and ought to be dissolved,

trade and CNtort excessive freight

bench agreed with him and adjudged

one of his duties was To make himself
master of the secrets of certain great
corporations. and especially those cor
pOrationS known as trusts. Let us sup
pose that he did his duty as a public
official and made rigid Investigations
and thus possessed himself of knowl
edge the publication of which would

a command? However innocent Mr.
