DIR. WICHMANN IS IN TROUBLE
AGAIN

KENO, New, October 30.-Onee
more DR.. l.. ii. Wichman' q name is
connected with a crime of the most re
voting nature. 1t was only few weeks
ago that the interest or Reno people
was centered on young girl who lay
dying in local hospital from the eff
feets of criminal operation said %
nav, been performed by this same man
who, if halr the charges against him be
true, should be looking at the sunlight
from benInd steel bars.
Now beautiful seventeen-year-osd
girl of most excellent reputation, has
stated to h,r family, two physicians
and an attorney, that last night this
DR.. Wichmann forcibly and criminally
assaulted her in his Office in the Clay
Peters building.
complaint has already been drawn
up Ii was taken TO the house of the
unfortunate girl to sign, but the ac-
cused man was there, had been there
for several minutes, and it was clear.
ly to be seen the he completely dom
mated the girl. District Attorney Mo
ran himself took the complaint to the
houst, but it was not signed by the
time he had left.
Possibly DR.. Wichmann will be able
to exert sufficient influence to put a
stop to criminal proceedings, inasmuch
as the girl will not sign the complaint.
But the story that she told Judge Ben
jamin Curler and Dr. Gregory and DR..
Heppner, will probably survive in the
minds of the people who have heard it
as being the true version, whether or
not DIR. Wichmann succeeds in persuad-
ing the girl and her family to let mat
tors drop.

WoULD COLNIZE THE HARDIN
kANCH.

George. l.. McDonough, colonization
agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, returned yesterday from an
inspection trip to the Hardin ranch n
northern Humboldt county. Expecting
to establish a colony in Humboldt coun-
ty the railroad company picked out the
Hardin ranch, which has been offerei
for sale. james Higginson, foreman of
the Hardin ranch, who accompanied
Mr.. McDonaugh, states that no final
arrangements were made for a sale. 1t
is believed that the property is situated
too far from the railroad to make a
suitable point for the establishment
of colony.

OF an animal brings a large sum.
Early Friday morning party of five
prospectors made a bold dash into the
reservation, but they had gone but
few miles before they were overtaken
and summarrily elected. They were in
formed that they would not be allowed
to locate on the reservation, and were
ordered to leave the country, under
threat of arrest. Other prospectors,
who had taken places too near the lines
were ordered to keep at proper dis
tance.
The principal rush to the Walker In
dian reservation will occur from
Thorne, which is located at the extreme
southern end of Walker lake, and from
Yerington, which Is situated near the
upper part of the lake. These two places
each now contain nearly 5000 people.
For several years Piute Indians have
brought valuable specimens of gold,
silver, copper and lead to various trad
ing posts, and it is currently believed
some sections of the reserve are rich
in these minerals. The copper belt ex-
tends along the upper portion of the
lake region, while there are a number
of mines already in operation outside
the reservation. The gold lands are sit
uated at the lower end of the lake at
Big Cottonwood, Dutchman and Willow
Creek. All the agricultural land in the
reserve will be reserved for the Indians.
Many of our prominent citizens have
gone to the scene of excitement and ex-
pect, as well as othrs, to max a great
strike in the new location.
Later-A special from the reserva-
tion opening says that last night an
unknown man was found dead with a
bullet hole through his head, having
PR sumably been murdered for his
money.
Sam Virgilio, brother of c. D. vir-
gilio, had his throat slashed by one
Sam Sykes, who was in turn horribly
beaten up by c. d. Virgilio. Sykes was
later arrested.-Nevada Observer.

STRIKE IN NEW
DULUTH RANGE

Recent developments at the new
camp of Duluth, situated in Paradise
range, about twenty miles northwest
of Berlin and eight milees north of the
old camp of Ellsworth, indicate that it
is likely to take front rank among the
great gold camps in the near future.
The original discovery was made by
Fife, Bills and Nichols last June, but
systematic development work was be-
gun only about two weeks ago.
Two groups of claims are being de-
veloped under the leasing system.
4,ine leasers are working, four OF whom
already have good shipping ore, and
twenty-seven applications for lesses
are on file. On the July claim a 2-inch
streak OF high grade ore was uncovered
IN doing the location work, and an
open cut which was run across the for
nation has exposed an ore-shoot l8
inches wide which gives assays running
from $216 to $47S2 in free gold and
horn silver. On the Climax claim, which
adjoins the July, the oro-shoot is IA
inches wide and yields assays as high
as 10000 ounces in silver and "a ounces
in gold.-Tonopah Miner.

MURDER and BLOODSHEAD

A dispatch from Yerington, New,
ays that tremendous excitement pre-
walls at that point where between
three an, four thousand eager men and
women have gathered preparatory to
rushing on Walker Indian reservation,
large portion of which will be thrown
open at noon today.
Camps have been established at all
advantageous points in that vicinity
and the prospective claimants for mine
ocations are already to rush to spots

disputes that are almost certain to oc-
ur over specially favored locations.
This mushroom mining camp presents
spectacular appearance, although the
majority of those who are here for the
rush are seasoned miners, large mum

Accommodations of all kinds are at
high price. While no hardships have
been experienced as yet, it is believed
much suffering may result, unless more
provisions are rushed in.
The camp at Yerington was swellt d
by about 500 additional people and sew

BURDEN ALONE
President Roosevelt Orders E.
H. Hartman to Close Break
in Colorado River.
HIS MISTAKE POINTED OUT
MATTER WILL BE LAID BEFORE
CONGRESS.

Washington, Dec. 20.-President
Roosevelt is exerting his efforts TO have
the break in the Colorado river in Mex
leo repaired as soon as possible by the
California Development compani, which.
iha declares, is ultimately responsible for
1T. With this end in view he today tel
egraphed to z. H. Hartman at New
York reciting the. inability to secure ac-
ton by congress because of the ad-
journment for the Christmas holidays.
The president told Mr. Hartman that
it is incumbent upon him to close the
break. and that action should be With
iout an hours delay.
Mr. Hartman replied that the South
iern Pacific has no control over the Cali
ifornia Development company, but ne
would authorize the Southern Pacific
officers to try to repair the break. trust
ing congress to take action later to as
sist with the burden. The president
promised to make recommendations to
this end.
President Rooseven's decision fol-
flowed a conference at the White House.
lin which Senator Flint of California,
iCharles D. WaIcott. director of the geo
logical survey, ana Frederick III. New
ell. chief engineer of the reclamation
service, participated.
Telegram to Hartman.
Following is the telegram sent to Mr..
Hartman:
"E. II. Hartman: Replying 20 yours OF

Harriman,s Reply.
To this Mr.. Hartman responded:

To this Mr.. Hartman responded:
ITO the President, Washington, D.
C.:-Replying to your telegram this
date. You seem to be under the inn
preston that the California Develop
ment company is a Southern Pacific
enterprise. This is erroneous. It had
nothing to do with its work or the
opening of the canal We are not in
terested in its stock and in no way
control it. We have lent it some money
to assist in dealing with the situation.
What the Southern Pacific company
has done was for the protection of the
settlers as well as of its tracks. but
we have determined to move the tracks
into higher ground, any way. How
ever, in view of your message, am
giving authority to the Southern Pa
cific officers in the west to proceed al
once with efforts to repair the break,
trusting that the government, as soon
as you can procure the necessary con-
gressional legislation, will assist us
with the burden.
"E. H. HARTMAN"
The presidents answer to Mr.. Har-
riman follows:
"Am delighted to receive your tel
egram. Have at once directed the rec
lamation service to get into touch with
you so that as soon as congress re-
assemblies l can recommend legislation
which will provide against a repeti-
ton of the disaster and make provision
for the equitable distribution of the
burden. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Message to Pardee.
The president made public the fol-
lowing telegram sent TO Governor Par
dee of California, dated stoday:
Telegram received. Am doing every
thing in my power in matter. Break
is on Mexican soil and we have abso-
lutely no power to do anything until
permission is granted by Mexico. We
are hurrying forward in every way the
negotiations for such permission. I'm
til it is granted congress cannot act"
In a note to Director Walcott the
president says:
Mexico has behaved admirably and
has expressed willingness to do any
thing within reason that we desire TO
do in the Colorado river break. OF
course Mexico is not to do the work.
The immediate work must be done by
Mr.. Harriman's company, as | pointed
out in my telegram to him. But We
should be prepared to put definite re-
quest before congress Immediately
upon its reassemblng. To do that l
must, of course, know just what sep
arate or joint responsibilities there
should be as regards this country and
the California Improvement company
Please formulate a plan at the earliest
possible moment, submitting it to the
state department, so that Mexico can
be fully informed

NEED OF AN OIL MILL.

The Eagle has frequently alluded
10 the need OF an oil mill since the
loss Of the local mill by fire. The
past year has been strong object
lesson in this regard, and there is
probably not a man in the town or
county Who is not aware, to a
greater or less degree, Of the lo's
and disadvantage the people Of the
town and county labor under with
out a mill. To begin with there
are probably unmarketed 5000
tons Of cotton seea, which have
been held, and which would have
beeu sold with mill here. This
meaps about $50, 900 withheld from
circulation in the county, or in
this immediate section. The con-
