INDICATIONS OF A DRY YEAR
Not much Snow in the Mountains
Poor Outlook for Crops

The outlook for big crops is not very
an exceedingly dry winter ane the warm
spring days are not conducive of the best
results. The cattlemen, too, are casting
eager eyes heavenward in the hope OF
seeing something in the clear sky to tell
them that feed on the ranges will be
abundant Paradise Valley has had one
or two dry seasons to contend with and
a grasshopper year. and the outlook is
not as bright for that section as it might
be.

YOUNG PROSPECT0R
Out With a Hand Cart looking for
a Gold Mine

A young prospector's outfit attracted
considerable attention this morning In
front of the postofiice. When questioned
as to his name he informed a Silver state
reporter that he had lost II on the desert,
but he visited the postoffice and inquired
for letters for c. Merrell. The outfit con-
sisted OF a two-wheeled hand cart which
he pushed along in front of him. The
cart was loaded with his bed, tools, jug
of water, cooking utensils. etc. Mr.. Mer-
rell said he spent two or three months In
Tonopah last summer, but arrived there
too late TO locate anything, for the coun-
try had all been located. He said that he

PUBLIC
INDIGNATION
The People Of Hazen Become I'm
patient and String up a
Numbering Thug

A robbery was committed at Hazen
awakened the town to a degree that will
probably put stop to murder and rob-
berry in that section of Churchill county.
1t seems that the people saw a fellow who
acted suspiciously and began shooting at
him and he was finally captured A
freight train, east-bound, was standing
in the yard at the time and 1t is thought
his companion made his escape on the
train. The two thugs robbed a man on
the Southern Pacific platform and beat
him over the head. The populace took
graph pole and strung him up and let
him hang until he was as dead as julius
Caesar. They cut him down at $3.50 this
morning
Hazen and Derby have been two of the
worst places on the line of the irrigation
ditch now being dug by the general gov
ernment. Murders and robberies have
been of almost weekly occurrence for
over a year and the officers of Churchill
and Washoe counties have not been able
to detect one single crime or the men
who committed them and the peorSe hav-
ing tired of disorder running rampant
have at last taken the law in their own
hands and made an example of at least
one of the numbering, thieving whelps
who have been terror to that section
so long. The Silver State does not advo-
cate mob law and regrets that the people
of Hazen have thought it necessary to
hang man without Judge or jury. but
who can blame them? The officers could
not, or at least did not, do anything to
stop the crime, and at last the thugs have
got to go They have sown to the wind
and now are reaping the whirlwind of
public indignation.

PYTH|AN KNIGHTS
AND RATHBONES
Chancellor Commander RosenthaI
Entertained by Ivanhoe
Lodge

pleasant meeting of Ivanhoe Lodge
knights of Pythias was held last evening
Grand Chancellor Ben Rosenthal was
present and gave the members most in
teresting talk on Pythanism and the
good of the order generally. A couple CT
hours were spent in the discussing CT
lodge matters in the Domain of Nevada
and the Grand Chancellor was pleased 20
inform the members of Ivanhoe that the
order was growing in every section ri
Nevada and it's growth throughout the
United States had been something re-
markable. very pleasant meeting was
the result and the Grand Chancellor WIS.,
t was much appreciated by the members
of Ivanho and visiting Knights. After
ed and in filea fifteen or twenty Rathbone
Sisters. The ladies took possession of the
castle and held the close attention of
every one present for over three hours
They had prepared an elegant luncheon,
bordering close on to a banquet, which
was served by the Sisters as only Rath-
bones can serve.
Thirty-four were seated at long table
and about two hours were spent in par
taking of the good things prepared by
the Sisters, Chancellor Commander j. L..
Dunn sat at the head of the table and
filled the position of POSTMASTER as well
as he fills the executive chair of the
say. Chancellor Commander Dunn made
a pretty little talk and congratulated the
Sisters on their thoughtfulness in provid-
ing such an elegant spread as that set
before the knights. He then called upon
Grand Chancellor Rosenthal, who sat at
Mr.. Dunns right. The Grand Chancellor
he made a talk highly and deservedly
complimentary to the Rathbone Sisters
and spoke of Pythianism as the corner
stone of almost all secret societies-that
is, so far as good deeds go. He said that
a brother Knight in distress was sure OF
having many friends to comfort him. He
said. that knights were ever present in
the sick room of a brother, were the first
at his side in case of death in his fam
lily, were ever thoughtful whenever a
brother needed a friend and so long as ne
lived he would be found in the ranks of
Knighthood battling for the cause of hui
manity and the noble order. AT the con-
clusion of the Grand Chancellor's talk he
was warmly applauded. Next in order
Chancellor Commander Dunn of Ivanhoe
called upon many members of the order
and Rathbone Sisters. who responded in
able speeches, and the hand of time
pointed to 2 o'clock before the Knights
and Rathbones left the banquet board.
Among the most interesting talks were
made by G. w. Dobbs, DIR. w. l. Sam
uels, c. b. Brown, w. j. Bell. Sisters
Porter Rougon and Lothrop. The meet
ing will be one long to be remembered.
At the conclusion of the banquet dancing
was taken up and another pleasant hour
passed.

"STOP IT," SAYS LOU
Houseman Hands Out Some Good
Done on Sullivan-Mitchell
Fight.
(By Lou NJ Houseman0

The project to bring John L. SUIli-
van and Charley Mitchell together in
prize fight should be sat down upon
hard.
Never was anything more brutal con-
ceived- The promoters argue that the
pair would draw an immense house,
and that the profits to fighters and club
promise much
True, and by that same token, a bull
fight or u purTing match might just as
well be exploited
Neither Sullivan nor Mitchell. COM
paTatively old men. are fit to engage in
any sort of a battle. Both have out
lived their athletic limits. and either is
apt to be killed if the fight is to be
permitted. The mere merCenary angle
to the match is the only one that can
be put forward in its defense. and this
forms no defense at all. Here are two
men. way beyond the age of ring use
fulness. each a hundred pounds over
safe weight, whom a bunch of gTasping
and greedy promoters want to pit
against each other. simply because a
lot of morbid. curious and ghouliSh ones
are ready to pay fancy prices to see
which of the two will be killed first. If
the plans are carried out the world will
witness d degrading bit of commercial
ism such as has never before been pub
licly exploited in this or in any other
country
There Is not d reputable medical man
in the land who viii not tell you that
neither Mitchell nor Sullivan is able
to survive anything like rigorous
siege in the ring. Sullivan has. among
other ailments, fatty degeneration of
the heart. Mitchell is d Wheeling asth
matte.
Personally, I don't believe the thing
will be permitted. It should not. It
win draw big house, For shamel So
would the public stTangling of Sullivan
and Mitchell. Stop It,

HOTEL MEN AFTER SCALPS
Bows From the Wilson Not Afraid OF
Even Reilly's Terrible
Elders.

The ball team of the Wilson hotel is
on the waTpath- The members are anX-
ious to collect the scaIps of the men
from any other hotel, or for that mat
ter from a composite team represent
ing all the hotels in the city. The chal-
lenge, which was issued yesterday, was
directed to the employees of the Kenyon,
yet the challengerS say that if the KEN
yOn crowd cannot make up a nine they
are willing to permit them to draw
from any source they please, not even
excepting a draft on the Salt Lake pro-
fessional team.
As A matter of fact the Wilson crowd
would like to cross bats with the pro-
fessionals. and they do not hesitate to
say that they believe they can do them
in three innings.
Here is the lineup which they offer
for the thoughtful consideration of the
men of Drawn from other hotels who
may want to try conclusions with them
on the diamond:
J. Turner. catcher: Emil DIETER
known as Fat Schiller. pitcher; Fred
Wood. first base. Ed Kessler, second
base: James Forsythe, sbortstop: Viii
liam Lyons. left field: Al Lloyd, center
field; Samuel Schwartz. right field.
The spectacle Of Schuler trying to
u n
a large crowd when the game is played.
He says that he weighs about $50
pounds. but when an agent from one of
the leading scale companies of the east
was here few days ago he barred him
from stepping on his sample scale, fear
full Of the tremendous weight that
would possibly result in serious dam
age TO the mechanism. Schwartz, on
the other hand, is a lightweight, and
he may be the saving of the team il
they get into q desperate struggle.
Years ago he played in the east on a
professional team as pitcher and right
fielder. and would have reached the top
notch had it not been that he was
stricken with that fatal baseball dis
ease known as Charley Horse"
The selection of kessleT to play sec
Ond base is right in line with the work
on which he was engaged in the past.
He is a baE-man by occupation. The
other players of the team have en-
gagged in the game from time to time,
and for several weeks they have been
quietly practicing so that they now
feel they can put up an article that Will
even take the Elders into camp.
