Valuable Stallion Injured.

The Merklenburg stallion that Gov.

Germany was allowed to take some
exercise in field recently where there
was barbed wire fence. The animal at.
tempted to break through the fence
and becoming entangled, cut himself
fearfully. Thus one of the finest

STATE LIBRARY BUILDING SITE,
Ryan and Douglass Vote Against
Outside Location.

Outsiut DOcdtIOus
At meeting of the State Capitol Com
missioners in Carson to decide upon 9
site for the State Library Building. the
motion of State Controller Davis To
select location outside of the Capitol
square was voted upon. Governor
Sparks, Lieutenant Governor Allen and
Controller Davis voting for. and State
Treasurer Ryan and Secretary Of State
Douglass casting their ballots against
it.
Messrs. Douglass and Ryan voted
against the motion ON the ground that
it was not the intent of the law to erect
the building outside of the Capitol
grounds. They said that the $40, 900
appropriation made for that purpose
was insufficient for the erection Of a
stone structure outside that would be
creditable to the State. and they sug-
gested that IL the selection Of site was
to be made outside, that the appropria-
ton Of $4O, 900 be held until the next
Legislative session when the fund could
b, increased to 100000, which would
be ample for the construction of an
imposing building worthy of Nevada
aud that would be an ornament to
the State capitol.
Messrs. Ryan and Douglass also OBJ
jected to receiving from the citizens of
Carson the gift of site for the Library
building, as the State is amply able to
purchase one, and they as representa-.
tives are opposed to appearing as men.
dicants begging for the gift of land for
the structure.
Governor Sparks and Messrs. Doug
lass and Ryan contended that citizens
Of all counties in Nevada had an equal
right with Carson residents to decide
on the proper site for State building.
The Board adjourned until August 10
on which date it will consider the loca.
ton of the site of the building SUBJ
mitted by Carson citizens.

Large Farm Loss.

Fire destroyed nearly all the farm
buildings except the house on the Quinn
Rood farm near Hanervile, occupied by
Edw. Moore, Tuesday evening. An ex-
plosion Of a lantern was the cause of the
disaster Mrs. Moore had just returned
from Stoughton and in putting out the
team Moore hung lantern in the stable.
Upon returning from hanging up the
harness he found the entire stable in
flames. His first work was to unite the
horses, but the frightened animals re-
fused to leave the burning building
standing trembling in the doorway, and
could only be moved by prodding with
pitchfork. Even after they we're once
out of the barn someone had to guard
the door to prevent the horses returning
to the burning structure. The fire spread
rapidly and with the help at hand but
little could be saved from the farm build
ings filed with stock and feed. Two
horses, eight head of cattle and num-
Der Of hugs we're consumed. The sheds
containing Ii acres of tobacco that had
been contracted for at high price were
destroyed. The flames also endangered
the house, and though the contents were
removed the direction Of the wind saved
the building. The loss Will reach several
thousand dollars and will fall very heav-
lily upon the tenant, Mr.. Moore, who
loses not only his stock but interest in
grain, hay, tools and tobacco. He had
recently purchased the Pollard farm near
Edgerton, expecting the proceeds from
his tobacco crop to be used in making
the first payments The farm is owned
by Mrs. Rood, living with her son-in-law,
Will Tyler, in this city, and her loss will
be partly covered by insurance in the
Town of Union Co.

The press had scarcely ceased running

From the time physician was called
Mr.. Child was very sick man. A severe
cold which he contracted several weeks
ago had developed into pneumonia and
he had carried the disease for some time
before he was aware of his condition. A
complication of typhoid symptoms also
made the case much more serious, and
although everything that medical skill
and careful nursing could devise was
provided, the hold of the disease was so
strong that the physicians gave out but
little hope from the beginning. We'd

STRUCK OIL

The Lakewood Townsite company,
which has been drilling a well for ar.
tesian water on block rs, at Lake.
wood, a short distance from Carlsbad,
New Mexico, on Tuesday of this week
struck a flow Of oil in twenty.six feet
OF oil sand. at a depth Of 900 feet,
says the Carlsbad Argus. The oil
comes from below the flow Of water
In the well, which demonstrates the
permanency of the oil flow.
Estimates have been made of the
amount Of oil flowing from the we'll
by computing the amount OF oil taken
from a barrel of water, and then null.
tiplying this by the number Of barrels
of water flowing from the well, with
the result that the well Is producing
about thirty barrels Of oil in twenty
four hours. AS the oil comes from
the sand without any great disturb
ance, it is reasonably certain that
were the well to be shot the flow Of
oil would be many times what 1t nov
is. Besides this oil ONE from the
first oil sand and as there will be
found below this on a second, and
probably a third stratum of oil sand,
the strike is of much Importance.
This well is located in the north
east portion of the oil basin which
extends for several miles to the south
west and which has recently been ex-
amined by Leopold Balbach, an oil
expert Of distinction. for the Lake
wood Oil company, of Carlsbad. Mr..
Balbach's report was made prior to
the strike made in the Lakewood
Townsite company's well, and his pre-
diction that large wells Of high grav-
'ity oil would be found in the Eddy
county oilfield seems to have been
fully proven. as the oil Is of a par
affine base and of a high gravity.
The Lakewood OH company. OF
Carlsbad, is preparing to enter the
field at an early day, and will have
several wells on its land. It owns
upward of 5000 acres in the center
Of the field.
