White Pine Won't Pay the Bills.

The Commissioners Of White Pine
County this week rejected the claims Of
Elko County, the Utah & Nevada Stage
Company and p. p. Cannon Of Cherry
Greek in matters connected with the
taking of Armstrong and Thomas from
the Eko Jail to the White Pine County
Jail at Ely, and from which the two
prisoners escaped July 4. Armstrong
and Thomas had confessed to stealing
horses in Elko County and would have
certainly been sent up for that crime,.
but some of the people around Cherry
Greek who had been robbed Of various
things. thought they had enough evil
dence against these two men to convict
them Of robbery, and arranged for their
removal to White Pine County. The
Commissioners of the latter county re-
fuse to pay the bills growing ont Of the
transaction, and Thomas and Arm
strong are still at liberty.

A SLICK HORSE SKINNER.
Puts Money In Bank, Buys and Ships

Horses, Draws Money and Skips.
The activity In the horse market the
past few years has opened mp q new
field for swindlers. and from time to
time different sections have been sue
cessfully worked" by horse sharps.
They invariably make good their escape
and drop out of sight, their victims hav.
ing no means of redress.
Last week o horse buyer visited Eu.
reka County. and his high-handed and
daring methods Of plying his trade
brand him the slickest "buyer" seer in
these parts.
He arrived in Eureka the first of last
week. and registered at the Brown
Hotel as E. O. Inner of Preston, Kas.
He then made q visit to the Eureka
County Bank and established q reputa.
ton in the community by depositing a
working capital"
Going to the western part Of the
county he purchased 75 head Of horses
from Dan Morrison, William Blair,
Bart Cerrutti and Andy Loucks, at
prices rangin 8 from $6 to 81 a head. Mr..
Loucks received cash for the few horses
he sold Inner. Mr.. Morrison came
into Eureka before the horses were let
go and upon inquiry at the bank learned
that Inner had money on deposit there.
The horses were accordingly taken to
Diamond station on the e. & P. and
shipped Wednesday Of last week to
Preston, Kas., Inner giving in pay.
ment his checks on the Eureka County
Bank. Collection was delayed for a
few days, and when the checks were
presented at the bank for payment,
there was no money to pay them.
After seeing the horses started on
their journey, Immer came back to Eu.
reka, drew out all the money he had in
the bank. and left town.
The checks have been sent to Preston,
Kas., for collection as the only legal
means Of getting the money. and it re.
mains to be seen if Inner belongs
there, and If the horses went through
to that place.
1t is thought by some that INNER is
all right, but getting short of funds
took the money out of the Eureka bank.
and that the checks will be made good
in the East. However, the situation is
dubious in the absence of any explana-
ton.

EUREKANS "DONEv AGAIN.

IN Leaves Bills unpaid.
W. @. Rose, the mine speculator, who
for several months past has been bonding
every claim in this section and in White
Pine County he could get hold of. left
for the East Wednesday, accompanied
by his wife. Rose has an easy method
of getting a hold on the properties with.

instances put men to work and ordered
goods on ''hot air." until his indebted.
ness for labor and supplies, it is said,
now reaches several hundred dollars.
He stated when leaving that the object
Of his trip was to place some Of Ibis"
properties on the market, and that he
would return in o month with money
to pay all his bills.

While it may be true that Rose is q

is hardly in keeping with honest inten.

VIII, Not sand the street.s

To THE EDITOR OF THH SuH-Siy: What wonder
at. for the thousand dth time, is:
Why don't We sand the city's asphalt paved
streets In winter after the snow has been removed
from them!
Such streets are. when the weather Is cold In
the worst and most dangerous condition possible
for horscs. and the condition that makes them
dangerou, for horses tends also TO delay sll trac.
Then the driver OF horses smooth shod keeps up, as
far as he can. In the crowning middle OF the road,
where his horses get little safer footing than
on the slopng SIDES with the result. In surface car
streets Of delaying all street car travel and when
he gets OF the tracks, to either side OF the
street. he delays trafc there. for he must 60 slow.
And II his horses 90 down he blocks traffc alto
eether for time. on that side Of the street anyway.
and reduces the capacity OF that thoroughfare by
halt should say that the losses caused by delay
In tranac due TO slippery streets must amount 10 a
great sum daily. sum far greater than II would
cost 70 sand the streets AZ such times, and so make
them comparatively safe for horse travel.
The sand would have TO be swept up again when,

horses slip had melted away but what OF thatf We

them and what Is 10 binder our sweeping up the

make heavier sweeping and cost more money. be-
soos the cost OF providing and spreading the sand;
but think Of the money saved by the avoidance OF

TO merchants and 10 owners OF horses. but 10 all
drivers.
Everybody familiar with the streets knows that
when the going Is bad for horses The whole trafno

obvious that this delay could he In great measure
done away with by making the streets safer for

REPORT OF GUAMs GOVERNOR.
He Urges Revision Of the Tarin and the
Santa alton OF the Island.

WASHINGTON. Dec. l8.-The annual re-
port OF G. L. Dyer, Commandant and Naval
Governor Of Guam. describes the unsani-
tary conditions of the island and recon-
mends that legislation be made to remedy
the evils. especially those pertaining TO
the leper colony. He also recommends
that collier be stationed permanently
at Agaha. A score of vessels were
coaled during the past year, but there is
now no collier, and in an emergency con-
ditions would be decidedly precarous.
Capt. Dyer is most urgent in his recom-
mendation that revision be made OF the
tariff. For example, he says that the price
OF kerosene oil is 80 cents gallon and sugar
~ cents a pound. and several other ex-
ampes are cited as being the result Of the
tariff. Accordingly, the cost OF living Is
extremely high, much higher In com.
parison than at any Of the other island
possessions Of the United States. Capt,
Dyer refers to the sanitary conditions at
Agaha. the capital Of the island. as un.
speakable. The lepers are now segregated
in a colony, much to the displeasure OF the
lepers themselves and their families, who
have always been together. The cost OF
the maintenance of this colony has been
borne thus far by the insular treasury.
and the system Of care taking has proven
most unsatisfactory.
