Finds Deposit Of Bones.

The Las Vegas Age says: Near Corn
Creek, 25 miles from Las Vegas, is a
great deposit Of prehistoric bones and
sea shells.
Professor Bachtelle, collecto rof
crystalized minerals for Yale College,
has been commissioned by Ward Sci
ence Establishment Of Rochester, N.
Y, to investigate the deposit.
Bones have been dislodged near the
surface, but the extent of the deposit
is not known. Professor Bachtelle will
tunnel into the mounds to determine
the value and availability of the fos-
sils for scientific purposes.
In many arts of Nevada are found
these evidences Of rehistoric life, when
mammoths roamed where lizards now
crawl, and the presence of shells in the
midst Of the desert proves that the
restless seas once surged where now

captures More High Grade orc.


Forty sacks of "high-grade" ore es
timated to be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000, were taken from the Wells
Fargo Express Company at Sparks
Monday night y Sheriff Ferrel and
deputies and stored in the Nixon
bank at Reno. The ore is supposed
to be that stolen from the Hayes
Monnette lease on the Mohawk mine
several days ago and was shipped by
Nelson Brothers, assayers at Coli
lcld I. Vallejo, Caiifo-nil.
George Wingfeld learned of the
Shipment and went on the same
train with it to Reno, taking IN auto
at Sparks and then meeting the train
at the Reno depot with the Sheriff
and others armed with the necessary
papers. The ore was taken to the
Nixon bank and stored and a suit
of replevin filed by Wingfeld to re-
cover the high-grade.
Several weeks ago Wingield was
in Carson City, having traced $4,000
worth of high-grade from Goldfeld
to a California point. That ore was
never recovered by the Mohawk own
ers. The owners of the mine feel
certain that the present shipment was
=" high-grade" from the mine.-Carson

NO DECISION IN
FALES CASE At
CENTRAL FALLS

A session OF the probate court was
held yesterday at the city hall and IL
had been expected that Judge Riley
would give decision on the Fales
case, which has attracted so much at
tention. The court had. however, re-
ceived a communication from Mr..
Fales in which he stated that he de-
sired TO have something TO say to 1t
before decision was rendered, but that
he was unable TO be present at this
session. He therefore asked for n
continuance. which was granted.
The case is one in which the two
daughters OF ]. Henry Fales have ask
ed for the appointment OF a permanent
guardian to take care OF the property
of their father The evidence, which
was introduced some two or three
weeks ago, attracted quite general at
tention. Mr.. Fales has been promi-
nent store keeper in Central Falls for
many years, but the petitioners claim
and undertook to prove by the wit
nesses whom they brought before the
court that his mind is affected and
that he is not capable OF attending TO
his own affairs. AS a consequence the
property which he has they say should
be attended to by someone else.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE

strong tendency toward teaching and
travel There were about las in the

only Al husbands have been acquired
"One-third OF the class has travelled
abroad, while all but 80 mention teach
ing and tutoring. About 55 have done
graduate work at other schools and col
leges.
What the girls themselves regard as
the most important incident or spot in
the 10 years since their graduation
varies as much as the girls themselves.

NEW ENGLAND "TAvERNS"
IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Tn the early settlement Of New England
tayerns were found to be a necessity, ana
hence were established by law, and they
were usually under the sanction and sur
yeillance OF the town officials, says MT.
Hudson in The Hosiery or Concord,
Mass" and these officials had to grant,
limit or revoke an innholders license
either as a victualler or seller or liquors.
The keeper OF the ordinary might be
a deacon. a military officer. a civil official
or a deputy to the general court. HIS
house was a convenient place for convoca-
tions important or unimportant, ana there
might be held In II a parish meeting.
military election, a council OF clergymen
or an assessors talk.
In order 10 discourage the use OF strong
drink at these places II was enacted about
1894 by the colonial court that not over
a penny a quart should be charged for
all purchased out OF mealtimes. 1t was
also ordered that not more than penny
a drink should be charged for any bev-
erage This was done to make the busi-
ness OF dramselling unproftable. Al an
other time II was enacted by law that
every innkeeper should sell good beer
"lest a traveller for want of 1t might pur-
chase wine
A law wac passed at an early date
by which a person appointed for the pur-
pose could join a drinking company at a
tavern and countermand any order made
by any member OF IL for drink In case
ne believed the member was drinking TOO
much.
At one time no tavern keeper was al
lowed to permit guests to remain at MS
house "uppling In an idle way, In 1901
a penalty was enacted for rude singing
at inns. and the court also undertook at
one time to determine how much a man
might drink
