Thieves ROB
AUSTRIAN JOHN

An old Carson valley farm hand
familiarly known as austrian john
WIS robbed on either last Saturday or
Sunday night of s230o. The money
was partly cash and partly in bank
checks. The robbery occurred at the
old Deluehi ranch which is now own
by Henry Helwinkel, and thus far
there is no clue that would lead to the
identity of the guilty party. John has
telegraphed the Reno bank stopping the
payment of the checks drawn on that
institution and has given the Gard
nerville bank similar notification.
Austrian john has worked in
this Valley for the last thirty years
and is known by almost every resident
of this county, but very few know
his christian name. There can be 10
doubt occasioned as To whom we are
referring. The old man takes his
loss philisophically and with his usual
good nature. However, be has many
hearty sympathizers in his misfortune,
because it is very generally known
that every cent was the result of
toilsome labor.

KICKED BY
A HORSE

Maurice Leon, the little son of Mr.
and Mrs, Ed. Leon, was last Saturday
kicked in the stomach by a horse.
The little fellow and his mother We're
at the time visiting Mrs. \. Mathiesen
and the horse belonging to Mrs. Leon
was feeding in the lot The boy in a
playful manner was pulling the ami
mails tail and this sort of sport prov
ing unsatisfactory to the horse he
expressed his disapproval by kicking
the lad. Fortunately the child was
too near to receive the full force of
the blow and the kick was more in
the nature of shove than anything
else. Beyond the mothers fright no
harm was done.

GRADING WITH
TRACTION ENGINE
Actual Work Has Commenced on
the 3eqv Carson Valley
Railroad

Some very decided steps in the COLI
stroetion of the valley railroad are
now being taken. On Monday the
Dangberg Land and Livestock Co.
began grading along the right of way
in the vicinity of the sheep camp.
For this purpose they have brought
the immense traction engine into ser
vice. This is the engine which was
purchased by the company a few years
ago and which proved impraeticable
for general farm purposes because of
its bulk. For the work at hand it
seems to answer admirably and every
day this week it has been steaming
about drawing behind it machinery
for pulling sage brush, filling in dit
ehes etc. and has already accomplish
ed very noticeable amount of work.
This fact coupled with the arrival of
ties, rails and other construction sup
plies in Carson would indicate that
the people of this Valley will very
soon be blessed with the greatest of
modern enterprises.
We learn from very reliale source
that the parties interested in the Car
son box factory are making prepara-
tions for enlarging the capacity of
their plant and this would indicate

WILL START MILL
AT SOUTH CAMP

The mining firm of Dangberg and
Murphy are about to begin active
development work ON their claim in
South Camp. They leave for the
scene of their operations today with
force of men and will at once start
their mill at work on some % tons of
ore which assays over hundred dol
lars ton. They have secured the
services of an expert mill man and
this assures the milling of the ore
with as little loss as possible, The
rare combination of the Irish and the
Dutch is illustrated in the personae of
the company and this fact alone seems
a prognostication of fiattering results.
Get your wood from Arid &Currie
while they are hauling it. You get it
cheaper.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1905-07-28

that they must expect to be supplied
with timber from some locality. 1t is
well known that the Y. Il T company
have very extensive timber interests
i'll Alpine county and it is only reason
able To suppose that the box factory
will be supplied from this source.
The question now arises will the line
of the new railroad stop at Gardner
vile or will it continue on into Al
pine county? If it stops here does it
not look as though saw hlills will be
built here or in this vicinity2- In other
words has not Gardnerville very
bright future? The Carson people
seem to feel that their town is to be
greatly benefitted.by the advent of the
new road, but if the line extends but
to Gardnerville their hopes hardly
seem justified This town will become
the shipping centre for all the vast
territory To the south and all the pro-
duce that is now hauled to Carson for
shipment will come here and what is

has been depending on this trade for

WILL INSTALL
COLD STORAGE

The Smith valley Creamery Co. has
begun the construction of an artificial
ice plant. For the past few years the
ice crop has been very uncertain and
the company finding themselves very
often obliged to procure ice from
Reno and Truckee and which could
only be eneompassed after heavy
financial outlay, decided to remedy
the difficulty by installing a plant
that would insure plenty of ice the
year round. The shareholders of the
company are confident that the plant
will pay for itself in a few years and
those who are familiar with the ex-
pense attached to procuring ice from
Truekee see no flaw in their iudg-
ment.
The feasibility of the plan about to
be inaugurated at the Smith valley
creamery should come under the
close observation of those dir ectly
interested in the Douglas county
creamery. There is no need of dwell
ing further upon the ice problem i'll
this Valley as the conditions are the
same as those under which the Smith
valley people have labored. Where it
is necessary to use a great quantity
of ice it has been found that cold
storage plant is more advantageous
financially than the cutting and stor-
ing of great quantities of natural ice.
Whether the amount of ice used by
the Douglas creamery is sufficient to
render the construction of a cold
storage plant practicable, We are not
in a position to state, but it is certain
that as much if not more ice is used
by the local creamery than by the
Smith valley concern and if a cold
storage plant is feasible there, surely
the matter should be given the care
ful attention of the Carson valley
farmers.

INDIAN GIRL
RNSHERCHILD

The Enterprise of Sunday contain
ed the information that a young girl
at the Indian School had made way
with her offspring by burning it in a
fire.
The information contained in the
Enterprise article is in the main cor
rect
The affair happened over a month
ago. The young girl had been em-
ployed as a domestic in Prof Mitt-
chell's family and was in the habit of
occasionally attending dances at the
Indian School.
Here she met a young Indian who
became the father of her child. She
attended one of these dances over Il
month ago and remained at the school
all night. Between midnight and
morning she gave birth to the child
and before breakfast had destroyed
all evidence by burning the bedding
and child in the furnace
The story that the screams of the
child attracted the attention of the
passers-by is denied by the Superin-
tendent of the school, Mr.. Ashberry.
In fact he stated that there was a
grave question as to whether the
child was alive at all or not when it
was thrown into the fire.
Nothing was known about it at the
time and no outcry was heard by any
one. The companions of the girl were
overheard talking the matter over and
it was by this means that the sus-
picion was first aroused and an in
vestigation began. A search in the
furnace disclosed the charred remains
of the bedding and sufficient remains
of the foetous to confirm the terrible
story of the girls attempt 10 conceal
her shame.
What will result in the way of le-
gal investigation of the matter re-
mains to be seen. As it occurred at
the Indian school and all parties are
wards of the government it is regard
ed as case within the Jurisdiction OF
the L. S. Courts.
The girl is between fourteen and
fifteen and there is more of a disposi-
tion to express sympathy for her than

The Millennium Had Come.

An English lord was travelling
through this country with a small
,;a-ty of friends. At farmhouse the
owner invited the party to supper.
Tie good housewife, while preparing
the table, discovered she was enter
tanning nobility, was nearly overcome
with surprise and elation.
All seated at the table, scarcely a
moments peace did she grant her
distinguished guest in her endeavor
to serve and please him. 1t was my
Lord, will you have some of this?"
and my Lord, do try that" "Take a
piece of this, My Lord" until the
meal was nearly finished.
The little four-year-old son of the
family, heretofore unnoticed, during
moment of supreme quiet saw his
lordship trying to reach the pickle
dish, which was just out of his reach,
and turning to his mother said:
"Say, Ma, God wants pickle"
