Nothing serious has happened
however, owing to the efficient

Sheriff Shirley and his deputies.

but is patroling the town, and
doing the duties of a night
watch, a man who should be
paid bv the county, or bv the
tax PAYERS of Fallon. What

county or tax payers? Nothing;
vet the citizens pride themselves
upon the fact that they are the
factors in Fallon's welfare.

Strange Alternative
Either Lose a Tooth Or Go to Jail
Accepts the Former.

Tuesday evening about half
past nine, DR.. Steele found a
roungh looking individual i'll his
Office, taking inventory of his
stock, and undoubtedly looking
for the diamonds which Mrs.
Steele had left in the room.
Upon being surprised the man
protessed to have a very bad
toothathe, but would not ,let
the doctor examine his tooth.
While the lamp was being lit
the fellow endeavored to get be
hind the doctors back, but the
doctor was ON the lookout and
picking up large pair of tongs,
stood him off, and compelled
him to sit down III the chair.
When seated he stated that he
had nothing the matter with his
tooth, and mentioned the fact
that he vas a bad man 'ftom
Derby. The doctor told him
that he had to either have the
tooth pulled or be pulled him
self, with the result that the
tooth was pulled, aud the Off
GERS notified, but he made good
his escape.
1t developed later that a pal
was waiting on the rear porch,
and that the man entered the
building through the rear door
and would have left that way
had not DR.. Steele compelled
him to leave by the front en-
trance. A search was made but
he could not be found; however,
the officers are on the lookout
and no doubt he will be arrested
and ordered to leave.

SAFE LOOTED
Thieves Rob Judd Aliens Safe
tuesday Morning.

Considerable excitement ex-
isted in Hazen Tuesday, when
Iu Id Allen, who conducts q ho-
tel there, discovered that his
safe had been robbed during the
carly hours of the morning
The safe contained in the neigh
borhood of $10O, and all was
taken. 1t was thought at the
time that two men had commit
ted the deed and had departed
for Fallon, and a haStilv SUM
noned posse was headed by Mr..
Allen, which secured the country
between Hazen and Fallon, but
without finding the cuIprits.
Mr.. Allen remained 10 Fallou,
where four or five suspicious
characters were arrested, but
upon examination, nothing
could be proved and they We're
turned loose. 1t is doubtful il
the person or persons who com
mitted the deed will be caught.
Last Monday some miserable
creature who in all probabilities
was full of liquor, created acom-
motion in Hazen by trying to
shoot the lights out one of the
saloons there. He was on the
outside, and fired through the
windows; the INN ates were con.
siderably worked up, and no
doubt harm would have come to
him had he been caught.

Making Rapid Strides.

To keep pace with the rapid
growth of Fallon. two brick
wards are now being prepared,
and as soon as spring comes,
both will start up with a full
crew
Smitten & Proctor have or
dered a press machine which will
turn out thirty thousand brick
a dav, and will install it as soon
as it arrives. At present they
have a small force of men at
work cleaning up their old brick
ward aud at the same time en-
larging 1t. Mr.. Proctor esti-
mates that this building season
there will be over million of
brick used from their ward.
Orchard & Galloway have
DCSIl dGllNCIN III
prepara tionS to start their brick
ward, which is situated east of
town, near the McLain ranch.
They have found very good ma
terial and expect to place on the
market a brick that cannot be
surpassed. They have already
secured enough orders to fill two
large kilns, and expect to have
one of them under fire by the
middle OF April.
1t is the intention of Smitten
& Proctor to rush their machine
to its full capacity, as well as
make handmade brick, and as
soon as they have enough brick
ahead to fill all their wants. the
machine will be moved to Still
water.

also remembered that little folks

NUMEROUS BILLS BEFORE
THE STATE LEGISLATURE
The Epitomized Happenings wichh
Take Place in Both Houses.

The third week of the twenty
second session of the Nevada
Legislature passed very quietly,
and it is quite apparent that the
members have settled down to
work after the excitement and
Incidents of the election of the
United States Senator last week.
Members of both branches can
be found at their desks after
each session, reading up the
statues, preparatory to the IN
PRODUCTION OF some measure or
the proper amending of a law.
The different committees are
hard at work with the bills
that have been referred to them.
AS Il rule there seems to be q
harmonious and progressive feel
ing on every hand. In fact the
situation presented is quite diff
ierent from the sessions of our
former legislatures. The usual
complications and friction which
attends meetings of this kind
are being done away with, and
what promises to be one of the
best sessions of the Nevada Leg
islature is fairly launched.
The opinion prevails that for
the last two or three years, the
state has entered upon a new
era. and that reasonable and
iudicious provision must be
made for the progress and de
velopment of every section; not,
however, in the line OF necessary
extravaganza, but i'll the direc-
ton of substantial advance
ment.
The tax question is receiving
careful study and investigation
and a revision of the revenue
laws is probable. Several plans
have been suggested, among
which is the so-called lump
sum- apportionmeht from each
county towards the support OF
the state government. The idea
is to proportion the amount OF
revenue fer the support of the
state government among the
various counties in proportion
to their resources or assessed
valuations. Under this law val
uations can be increased and the
tax rate lowered
The "lump sum" method will
provide that each county shall
be assessed a given amount to
apply on the state expense, and
the same to be paid to the state
treasurer. The board of county
commissioners will then make
the annual levy, so that this
amount will be covered and such
additional revenue as will be
needed to maintain the county
expense. Valuation may then
be raised and the rate reduced.
A lively contest took place III

DEATH OF MAN
ONCE IN HONOLULU

The Stockton (Cal) Evening Mail Of
May 26. contains an account of the
death of William Rice, who was here
about three years ago. The item fol-
lows:
The injuries received by William
Rice, the concrete expert, while laying
the foundation fer the new Bell thea
ter, proved fatal the unfortunate man
having died at 7:10 last night at st.
Joseph's Home.
1t was found necessary yesterday aft
ernoon TO operate upon the deceased
Drs. Priestly, Harry, Minerva Goodman
and Fisher r. Clarke opened the abdo-
men and found that he had been seri-
ously injured internally. The pelvic
bone had been crushed while two pieces
of split bone bound an intestine. The
doctors announced at once that the
man could not live, and his relatives
We're informed of the fact.
Rice travelled a great deal in the in
terest of Clark & Henery. by whom he
was employed. He managed many
expert in his line. About three years
ago he went to Honolulu to oversee a
big job. He and his wife remained on
the islands for several months. 1t
was the intention of the deceased to
build a home here. Several times he
had made up his mind to construct a
building in the northern part of town
but each time he changed his mind. He
was a man who made friends and who
kept them. Everyone who knew him
always had a good word to say for
him His life was made up of little
acts of kindness and his death viii be
felt by many.
The deceased was a member of San
Joaquin Lodge of Masons. F. a. Pol
lard the Master of the lodge, accom-
panied him to the hospital after he was
injured and remained with him until
death ended his terrible sufferings.

agent of the large trust fund of the
Bernice Pauahi Bishop of the Kane
hameha Schools, his general ability and
pei solal integrity Were beyond re-
proach. I will give you a matter OF
gossip, current in Honolulu, as to how
Mr. Stevenson was induced to write
the letter. On day a vessel arrived at
Samoa from Honolulu. and some sail
ors came on sho re to sail
ors' resort. Stevenson being present he
incurred the news from Honolulu, and
he was informed that Dr.. Hyde had
written a letter to San Francisco about
Father Damien which had aroused
talk in the community
Stevenson's Indignation was very much
aroused by the statements made by the
sailors, and his now famous letter was
the result. It would seem that this
might have been probable by the dec
laration that Mr.. Stevenson later re-
GREETED his impulsive action. Mr.. Cliff
ford, the English writer, who may be
one of Father Damien's best
friends, does not treat him as saint
a bove reproach. While the charges re-
ported against him may not be true,
there seems no occasion for the writing
of Stevenson's letter. DR.. Hyde has
been dead now some years, but has

R, |, STEVENSON
AND DR.. hyde.

The Boston Transcript, May 20, has
the following about the ancient Steven
on-Hyde controversy: In these col
umns week ago today We had some
thing to say Of Stevenson's remarkable
letter in defence of Father Damien
apropos a new edition just issued by
Mr.. Thomas B. Mosher. AS might have
been expected, our remarks attracted
the attention OF Dr.. Hyde's friends, and
in consequence we have received
communica ton from Mr.. Gorham D.
Gilman, the wellknown expert in Ha-
waiian affairs. We publish his letter,
together with an accompanying COM
munfcation from Rev. Edward Abbot
of Cambridge, without comment, realiz-
ing the fact that as Stevenson has pied
theoretically for Damien, so DIR. Hyde's
friends should be allowed to plead free
ly in behalf of the clergyman against
whom Stevenson launched his remark
a BILE philippe. I'm your issue of the
13th,'' says Mr.. Gilman, you make ref
erence to the recent publication of the
famous letter of Robert LOUIS Steven
son 10 DR.. c. NJ. Hyde. There can be
no question that the letter of Mr.. Stew
enson is one of the most remarkable
in English literature, fully equaning
Lord Byron's famous English Bards
and Scottish Reviewers. Had the
writer in your column, however. been
more fully acquainted with the actual
facts in the case. he would have saved
himself from repeating the mistake
which Stevenson later acknowledged he
had made. I herewith hand you a let
ter from Rev. Edward Abbott, D. D..
of Cambridge, from which it can be
seen that Mr.. Stevenson himself ex-
pressed his regret at ever having writ
ten the open letter addressed to DR..
Hyde. As the circumstances under
which DR.. Hyde wrote the original let
ter may not be familiar to you, I give
you the facts in the case. An old
friend of Dr. Hyde's, living in San
Francisco, having heard rumors in re-
gard 10 Father Damien, the famous
priest at Molokai, wrote to DR.. Hyde
for information, concerning him. The
doctor, in the freedom of personal
friendship and confidence. wrote what
was current report at Honolulu at the
time, never dreaming for "a moment
that the letter would be published. It
certainly was a very sad blunder for
the recipient to give the letter to the
public. and he has doubtIessly re-
GREETED it many a time. No one who
knew DR.. Hyde as a most estimate
character, both in this State and in his
long and glorious pastorate in the city
of HaverhiIl and also IN the eminentiy
able work which for years he was en-
abled TO carry on in the city of Homo
lulu, would think for moment that
he Ncould be properly characterized bv
the severe language which Mr.. Steven
son saw ut 10 use. A little indication
OF the estimation in which he was hel2
in Honolulu. may be gathered from the
fact that a generous public contribu-
ton by the merchants of the city,
desiring 10 testify their regard for DR..
Hyde. resulted in a large sum of money
TO build him a house. As managing

Likelike steamed away from her

purpose of the trip is to look over the
ground at the settlement and pick out
a location for the proposed hospital

Wyman desires to see the place him
self and it is altogether desirable that
he should know what kind of ground
he is working upon, and something
likewise as to conditions at the
Settlement. The party viii go at once
to Kalaupapa, where they viii land if
it is not too rough, of course, and will
be taken to the superintendent house.
All of Saturday will be devoted to the
study of conditions, and it is probable
that the Surgeon General will devote
some attention to an examination OF
the unfortunates.
This, however, will be a different sort
of an expedition from the disgraceful
junketing trip undertaken by the late
legislature, and which was the one
great scandal OF the regular session.
And its effects will naturally be more
permanently beneficial to the patients.
