his wffe's. signature to the instru-
ment 20 make 1t valid This decision
was reached last week by Judge VIM.
H. Pope. In District Court, in she

This was a suit to recover property
in Belle Plain addition. decided de-
fendant by the deceased husband of
the plaintiff Mrs. Turk wanted the
land returned to her upon payment
of $500 for improvements Kate Tuck
The cohrt sustained the claim OF the
plaihtif and granted her petition. In
rendering bis decision, Judge Pope
said thAt any deed executed by a
man without the concurrence of his
wife at any time since the act Of
March 20. 1901. was void. In many
states the husband and wife can con-
vey property separately and own pro-
perty separately. Lawyers say that
the general rule of law outside of
New Mexico is that the husband or
wife making n deed without the con-
currence of the other, convey the In
terest OF the one making the deed.
and that the deed is not then abso-
lutely void.

District Court by Judge Pope are as
follows:

New Orleans, La. July 31.-Little-

new cases were unoficially reported
to the board of health.-A campaign in

new cases and deaths continue to be
reported in the older infected area

admitting that the situation is serious
say that the disease can be controlled

STAGE ROBBED
IN W|NNEMUCCA
Mail Sacks and Bars of Bullion
Taken-But That Was
Long Ago

Years and years ago, way back in the
COS. a stage plying between Winnemucca
and Boise, Idaho, was robbed of mail
and two or three bars of bullion. The
robbery was committed by two masked
men at the north end of the bridge cross
ing the Humboldt on Bridge street. The
mail and bullion were buried near the
scene of the robbery. ]. N. Thacker,
Sheriff of Humboldt at the time, but now
chief detective for Wells Fargo, has al
ways maintained that the plunde was
buried below the bridge on the banks of
the river. Mr.. Thacker years ago put
in days and days hunting for the stolen
plumber, but without success. The dis
covery of the rotten leather mail pouch
by Shirley Browning and George Sanford
in the sands on the bank of the Humboldt
the other day has revived the recollec-
tions of many who remember the robbery
well, and probably is the sack taken
from the stage by the robbers. There are
several people in Winnemucca alive today
who remember the circumstances we'll
Mr.. Thacker has always held to the be-
lief that the bullion was never disturbed
from where 1t was cached and that the
robbers never came back to get theil
plunder. The bars of bullion were very
heavy and the river was so closely guard
ed for months after the robbery that Mr.
Thacker thinks to this day that the bull
lion still lies buried in the quicksanu.
along the Humboldt. 1t might prove
profitable for some one with not much to
do to go mining, and perhaps their ef-
forts would be rewarded byy a valuable
find. Assessor j. w. Guthrie remembers
hearing the robbery talked about when a
boy and has heard the story from Mr..
Thacker several times within the last few
years. The bullion was too heavy for
the robbers to carry far and no wagon
or horse tracks were ever found in the
vicinity of where the plunder was sup
posed to have been cached. 1t may be

has again performed it's mission and
caused the Humboldt to give up the evil
dence of crime which has long since
been forgotten.

ARE still as they were. Both have been
under consideration for years. but moth
ing decisive has yet been done. 1t is
easy to build an electric road, but when
you already have a stem road it is quite
another thing TO replace 1t profitably
with electricity.
The Sierra tunnel has been under con-
sideration for eight or nine years, but
nothing has been concluded regarding 1t.
The Lucin cutoff Is manifestly profitable.
for by its means we avoid the promon-
tory, require less power to haul trains
hauling two trains now where 1t was for
merly necessary to divide the same num-
ber of cars into three trains. There is
more than so per cent saving in power. "
