Indians to capture or kill the murderer.

SENATOR CLARK

The Eureka Sentinel says; There have
been rumors ahoat for some time that
United States Senator Clark of Montana
intends to acquire legal residence in
Nevada by building Il palatial home in
Lincoln county, and that he will be
Ncwland's opponent in the next Sena-
torial race. Last week the following
dispatch was sent from Boston, Mass :
II is currently reported here that when
the present term of Senator Clark eX-
pires, ne will make no effort to secure
reelection from Montana, but will in
the future make Nevada the field of his
political efforts. 1t is figured that
through the operations Of his San Pedro
4 Salt Lake railroad he will be able to
control the political balance OF power in
Nevada.
The Reno Journal states that Il report
zones from New York that Senator W.
4. Clark is planning 10 remove from
Montana to Nevada for the purpose III
establishing a legal residence in this
State and that he will become a candi-
date for United States Senator in Nc
vada such step on the part of the
multi-millionaire Senator would have
the effect of restoring the price of votes
in the ~agebrush State to the figure
which prevailed in the good old days OF
the Comstock .-Tonopah Miner.

THE BORAX ROAD

There are no indications Of resump-
ton on the BoraN railroad grade from
Vegas to Beatty. The salt Lake rail
foad has practically killed off the Borax
road by refusing traffic arrangements.
Botax Smith will probably make con
nection with the Santa Fe now and build
from hex To Scarcblight to Eldorado
Canyon, across the Salt Lake railroad
at Las Vegas and on to the boraN mines
and Beatty. The change will retard
progress, but may be better in the end.

Russia and Japan Still Try

While the diplomats are quibbling
about peace terms the Jap and Russ
soldiers are leaning on their guns, grim
ming at each other, betting sake against

The Russian diplomats gag at the

Sakhalin to Japan. Between accepting
these terms or taking another licking
Russia hesitates.

THAT WONDERFUL HORSE, HANS

Golfers 26 prints it's second ac>
count of the wonderful horse in Ger
many that has amazed the whole
scientific world. This account says:
Hans picks out the colorS in a
chrome or in the ribbon of a decOra-
ton and designates them by hoof-beats'
referring to the order of the coloreo
squares placed before him. He picks
out discords when chords of three or
four notes are played, and, what IS
more, he names the note that har-
monies the chord. When these at
tending the exhibition are placed in
line before him, Hans will pick out
the shortest or the tallest. After
looking at their photographs, he win
identify the originals. All the time
this is done he has to be bribed with
small pieces of carrot, his favorite
deicaoy, to go on. During recent
experiment he refused totally to an
swer any of the questions put to him
by German officer, whose monocle
and twisted mustaches seemed to
offend him. Some of the mathe-
NAUTICAL problems put to him are OF a
kind so intricate that child of ten
or eleven would have difficulty In
solving them. Hans succeeds nine
teen times out OF twenty on the
average. Herr Won Osten has devoted
some twelve years to what he calls
the ascertainment of the mentai
capacity of the horse and he asserts
that Hans has not been, and win
never be, placed on exhibition for
money"
