PAINFULLY INJURED

Tom Seamon met with distressing
accident at the Nelson blacksmith
shop Wednesday afternoon He was
engaged in taking boxing out of
wagon wheel and in some peculiar
manner a wedge that held the boxing
in place, suddenly loosened and flew
up striking Mr.. Seamon a powerful
blow on the side of the nose complete
ly smashing the upper part of that
member, some of the bones protruded
through the skin. Strange to say the
blow never dazed, him he going i'm
mediately to physician's office where
the injured nose was dressed and the
patient made as comfortable as possi-
ble
Owing to the severity of the injury
it will be some time before Tom will
be entirely well. 1t is to be hoped
that he will experience no further
trouble with his nose, other than the
pain attendant on its healing.

ACCIDENTLY SHOT

John Barrett, one of Reno's best
known residents, came near losing his
life at Plumas junction at 1880 last
night, says the Reno journal.
As it he has lost a good portion
of his left hand. lie was brought to
town shortly before midnight by
Charles Crown and Thomas Worden.
They drove twenty-five miles without
stop, Mr.. Barrett's terrible injuries
being tied to prevent him from bleed
ing to death. Drs. Thomas and Robin
son were summoned and dressed his
injuries, sewing up the lacerations and
removing the thumb.
Mr.. Barrett has been developing a
quarry owned by by him near Plumas
Junction. Yesterday he had been
hunting and was preparing to come to
Reno to visit his family. His shot
gun was leaning against barbed
wire fence. He started to lift it by
the muzzle, when the trigger caught
in the wire, exploding the shell, the
charge tearing away the greater por-
tion of his hand. Mr. Barrett will
recover, despite the fact he is suffer
ing much from the loss of blood

A Decided Success.

The Bazaar and Tea given by the
ladies of the Methodist church proved
to be most successful affair. The
ladies displayed for sale, evidences of
their handiwork in shape of sun
bonnets, aprons, pin-cushions, per-
fume sachets, and delicious candy.
One of the unique features of the
bazaar was the serving of coffee with
the usual cake and sandwich as side
issue, but in this case every purchaser
of a cup of coffee was entitled to take
his cup and saucer home. The ladies
very wisely concluded that the best
solution of the dish washing problem
was to dispose of the cup and saucer
with the coffee. An excellent pro-
gram was rendered consisting of both
vocal and instrumental selections, pho
nograph entertainment, etc. All in
all the Bazaar and Tea was huge sue
cess.

Go|d-Seekers Drifting this Way

While Goldfield and Tonopah are
great camps, yet they did not furnish
all who are looking for mines with the
desired article. The result is that the
tide is drifting this way in the hopes
of showing something that they can
get into. Naturally the new finds are
the first attractions and from this time
on there will be a steady rush for the
district.
The Pinenut range has furnished a
number of very sensational fiIds, and
boom was on hand at one time.
Even Charley Lane took hand in the
game and he pronounced it one of
the greatest mining districts in the
entire west. The lack of water is all
that has prevented the great placers
out there from becoming producers

WINTERS PEOPLE
PUSHING WORK

The Winters people are steadily
pegging away at the new finds at
their camp with hattering results at
every shovelfull. This week a large
load of supplies went out to the camp,
with also an additional number of men
to work at the mine and mill. A floor
is being put over the cyanide tanks
and everything being made ready for
the run that will be started in a few
days. Since the first discovery, sever
al new lodges have been discovered,
and assays taken from some have
proven very encouraging to the
owners. Other parties who own
claims in that vicinity are preparing
to do work on a larger scale than has
previously been done.
Hon. Samuel Platt and others have

WILL PROSPECT
ON LARGE SCALE

A prominent mining man of this
section, whose name we are not at
liberty to divulge, is preparing to put
in the field several expert prospectors,
who are to thoroughly prospect the
entire district from Red Canyon to
Buckeye. BY working Systematically
it is hoped that the trend of the lodges
can be determined. So far, the gen.
eral direction of all lodges in the Pine
Nut country has been in the direction
of the Comstock, but recent develop
ments has shown a distinct cross
ledge coming out prominently at the
Winters mine.
1t is generally the hope of the
miners to find a contact vein as so far
contacts have proven to be of more
value than the ledge first found.
There is evidently a mother ledge
running through the hills somewhere
from which .all the small veins have
come disseminating their wealth
throughout the Red Canyon and
Buckeye districts. At Red Canyon in
the form of small pockety veins and
in the Buckeye district in the form Of
placer gold. The ledge will be found,
but only by systematic effort directed
with a determination to uncover il
regardless of expense.

HURT In A RUNAWAY.

Otis Gay, an employee of Hans Pet
ersen of Smith valley, was the victim
of distressing runaway accident last
week at Mr.. Petersen's ranch. When
the accident occurred man was dis
patched to Yerington after a physi-
clan, but in some way the man lost
the way and returned minus the med
ical man. Gay let the matter run for
a day or so, when his trouble became
so painful that he was forced to seek
medical aid and for that reason he
came to town on the stage and placed
himself in the care of DIR. Hickok
Upon examination the poor man was
found to have his back dislocated and
three ribs broken. Tuesday morning
the doctor with the assistance of DR..
Sinclair pulled the injured mans back
into place. The operation being sa-
tisfactory in every way.
The man is now resting comfortably
at the East Fork hotel. 1t was a very
dangerous operation and previous to
performing it, the doctor informed the
sick man of the danger attendant on
such an operation as was necessary in
order to relieve him. Mr.. Gay how
ever held out bravely, remarking that
he would rather die in an attempt to
get well than go through life cripple.

Roulette Wheel Heavy LOOser

Toney Sorensen has opened rou-

The owner was somewhat up against
it the first day A sharper bucked the
game for few hours and quit several
hundred dollars to the better. 1t then
suddenly dawned on the manipulation
that he had not thoroughly studied
the rules of the game, and in order to
become better informed, and not to he
disturbed for the time being, closed up
the game. The game is now in full
blast, all who wish to try their luck
at the festive roulette, can be accom-
modated.

GALA DAY SUNDAY

In various parts of Germany there
are socities known as the Schutzen
Verein or shooting clubs, which in
this country corresponds to our gun
clubs. The societies are composed
of all the young men in the neighbor-
hood, who at stated periods, hold
shooting tournaments, and the one
making the highest score is made
King of the Schutzen Fest, while those
coming next are made captains
and aids to the king The king takes
charge of the festivities and directs all
the proceedings. The festival gener-
ally lasts for several days. The shoot
ing clubs are under state supervision
and in order to hold their festivals
they must be an organized body and
obtain the sanction of the authorities.
Go to Waterloo Sunday and see how
they conduct the festival in other
lands than ours.

HOUSES ARE In DEMAND

We know three families who, if
they could have procured houses
would have made Gardnerville their
homes for time at least. But their
inability to procure suitable abiding
places has sent them to other towns.
1t would seem that a little judicious
investment in building would not be
a bad investment for someone with
capital to invest in such undertakings.
By not having sufficient rentable
houses, the business men lose the
trade, and the people lose the influ-
ence and sociability that would other
wise be theirs. All rentable houses
that have so far been put up are rent
ed and the owners are realizing good
income from their places, and further
more they have been occupied almost
continually since built There is no
question about the safety of the in
vestment at the present time, and the
present rosy future born up by what
we believe will soon come to pass
would make the investment as safe
as if the money was stored up in a
safety deposit vault. The coming
summer will see great many people
wandering this way, and some OF
them will have families, and those
families must have houses to live in
or we will lose them as residents OF
this section.

tence-and Mexican prisons are not
Waldorf-Astorias And the man who
was discharged after two or three
years in prison for perhaps merely
trying TO steal was likely TO be
drafted into the army and sent for
service TO some remote and un-
healthy part of the country 1t was
argued that military discipline was
the best thing possible for the uncon-
trolled impulses of the culprit, and
that since. unfortunately there were
parts of the country where the neu-
traIity was relatively heavy. it were
better TO semi 10 them those who
could most easily be spared
Notwithstanding all this, the en-
terprising burglar went a-burglarins,
in the language Of one of the Gilbert
and Sullivan operas, and the GRIM
inaI was occupied in crime. 1t was
realized that new measures must be
taken to finally and effectively eradi-
cate him. and Senior Chavez's report
contains suggestions for a course of
treatment which, il is hoped, VIII
really heal this plague spot which
has so long troubled the community.
Publicity is the basis OF the Chavez
theory of the treatment Of crime.
Pictures of thieves of all ranks and
grades are TO be taken, and these
will be set up in public places,
where thieves are most liable 10 con-
gregate, and where the general pub
lie may become acquainted with the
appearance of as many as possible OF
these gentry. Duplicates of these
pictures Will be sent TO other cities
to be set up in their market places
and public squares as occasion seems
TO require it in hopes that as the
public generally learns to recognize
them and guard against them they
will find their occupation gone.
Then again Mr.. Chavez proposes
TO treat known crooks very much as
if they were paroled prisoners in this
land OF the free That is, his scheme
requires them to call once q week at
the "commissaria' within whose ju-
risdiction they live and give an ac-
count Of themselves, setting forth
Just how they earn their living.
Naturally it is not expected that they
will flock in Joyfully with these re-
ports. or that the reports themselves
will always be absolutely reiiabls
and accurate lit every detail.
The good Senior Chavez knows that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. and he expects to keep his de-
tective force busy watching the pro-
fessional malefactors, verifying the

there Sir Francisco Chavez, assist
ant director of the Mexican detec-
tive department, has drawn up re
port on the prectical measures TO
be adopted in this war of extermina-
ton against every variety of the
craft that has fourished in the coun-
try since the beginning of European
occupation.
There is no haIting III the dag
nosis. It is admitted that the thief
problem is a serious one in Mexico.
The country at large needs this par
ticular sort of house cleaning in the
worst way. Naturally, however, it
is the City of Mexico that will first
be swept clean by this Bosom of po-
lice reform. 1t may be that thieves
are no more numerous in and around
the Mexican capital than in other
great cities in the world. Certainly
the capital is no worse than the
country at large But il has had the
limelight of publicity thrown on il
in this respect, and has acquired
reputation as a city that was simply
overrun with thieves of all sorts
and that is a bad reputation for
city to have-a reputation which II
is likely TO have to pay dear Tor IN
the long run.
Moreover. statistics bear out TINS
reputation. The figures all go TO
prove that thievery is the national
crime of the country. that compared
with other classes of malefactors'
thieves figure very high in the statis-
tics of crime. Furthermore, they
are the only body of the enemies OF
society. which shows no sign OIL
yielding 10 the measures taken ioi
their suppression. and which in spite
of the authorities seem to be IN
creasing rather than diminishing
with the national march of progress
But now Mexico declares, through

Not long ago the laws regarding
theft were revised. Penalties for
stealing were made very severe. The
mere attempt 70 steal. even small
sum of money, made the offender
liable TO a pretty severe prison sen
