Last Friday night and Saturday morn
ing there were rumors of trouble near
Buckbrush Springs, close to the western
line of the Reservation, and it was re-
ported that one or two men had been
shot. The facts of the matter are that
on last Friday John King, Ross Thomp-
son, +. w. Powers, A. B. Nelson, w.
d. McFadden and A. l.. Gaffney, who
have been camped near Buckbrush
Springs for some weeks past, went down
to the line of the Reservation and over
into the Reservation ground on a recon-
noitering trip. Shortly after crossing
the line these parties were fired upon
from ambush and at long range, prob
ably half a mile. They could not see
who did the shooting, but as the Win
chester bullet were coming pretting close
the party retreated as they had no arms
fired, but nobody was hit. Saturday
these parties could see from point on
the hill near their camp "sooners" at
work inside the Reservation lines, and
these people are undoubtedly the ones
who did the shooting. Monday, when
the time for opening came, Dune Nc
Kenzie and five other parties made
run from the line for section of ground
they thought was good. Mckenzie land

THE GREAT RESERVATION OPENING.
False Reports Sent the Outside Papers About Trouble the
Line. The Most Peaceable Opening" Record

good mines developed on the Reserva-
ton ground, but not one location out of
one hundred will prove of any value.
1t is more than likely that Esmeralda
county will have two or more towns
very soon. One will probably be estab-
lished near Buckbrush Springs and one
east of this place, some twelve miles.
Both of these points have good water
and timber facilities, and the mineral
showing in the vicinities is believed to
warrant the venture of town.
Probably prospectors and mining men
will be coming into this new country for
months to come. 1t will be one of the
greatest advertisements this section of
the State could have as it will draw at
tention to many of the good things in a
mining way which exist outside of the
Reservation 1t will also draw the at
tention of some, undoubtedly, to our
great agricultural possibilities, and if our
people will meet the new corners half
way on business propositions Yerington
will be made a splendid town and the
valley soon be dotted with new homes,
and a railroad from Wabuska to Yelling
ton up through the center of this valley
will be among the possibilities.
While the management OF the great
opening has been of the poorest, the
Reservation is now open and the people
will have to make the best of the condi-
tons that exists Undoubtedly consid-
erable litigation will ensue over double
and cross locations that prove of value,
and the legal fraternity will reap har-
vest.

A Year Of Blood.

The year 1908 will long be remembered
in the home of f. N. Tackett, of Alli-
ance, KY, as year of blood; which
flowed SO copiously from Mr.. Tacket's S
lungs that death seemed very near. He
writes; Severe bleeding from the lungs
and frightful cough had brought me at
deaths door, when l began taking Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
with the astonishing result that after
taking four bottles was completely re-
stored, and as time has proven, per-
manently cured" Guaranteed for sore

From all quarters of the Reservation
come reports of sooners E" having been
on the ground and staked claims pre-
vious to the time set for opening, and it
seems to be the general opinion that the
entire conduction of the opening was
very badly handled. 1t has been found
that people have been over the inside
ground months ago and spotted good To-
cations. Many monuments were up
with notices ou them when the fastest
reached the ground from the line. In
some instances the monuments were
knocked down and in others they were
located over. Several cases were wit
messed where locations were made and
dated 1910 p. M. when it would be i'm
possible to get to the location from any
part of line inside of half or three-quart-
ers of an hour.
The rush to get in and locate claims
was certainly a mad one, but in nearly
every instance good nature prevailed.
In many instances where two, three or
four parties reached the ground they
were looking for they joined issues, To-
Gated in the name of all and took their
one-half, one-third or one-fourth inter
est in the claims. In one case one claim
was located by twenty people.
Those who have made locations are
returning now, some jubilant, others dis
gusted and some doubtful whether they
have got anything of any value. AS we
have stated before, there will be some

ground. Mckenzie located over the

nobody could have made legal location
on the ground before he did. He has a
score of witnesses to prove he was the
first man on the ground, among whom
are J. Herring, ]. H. Noonan, Dan Daw-
son, Lester Hunter and Morris Stack.
There was no trouble over the matter
but there probably will be if the soon

who now tries to dispossess them of

quite a number of people who crossed
the line in this vicinity days before the
time, are known, and it is more than like

Creamery to Change Man
agement.
dGenent'

A change in the Yerington Creamery
will probably take place i'll few days
and the concern be handled by stock
company of patrons of the institution.
A meeting of those interested was held
last Sunday night and this conclusion
was come to. The price to be paid for
the creamery is 5000. The company
will consist of thirty people, who furnish
milk to the creamery, and they are to
each own 500 worth of stock, the COM
pany to be capitalized for this amount.
Sixteen new subscribers have been OBJ
tanned who will go into the company,
and there are seven old stockholders
who will still retain an interest in the
company. Arrangements are not yet far
enough advanced for the election of Off
GERS, but this will probably be done next
week.

After Water Rights.

There was a lively contest in Carson
last Monday, according to the News,
over the filing of water rights with State
Engineer Thurtell for the water of Dutch
man Creek, Cat Creek, Cottonwood
Creek and Rose Creek, streams that run
into Walker Lake through the Reserva-
ton from the Mount Grant district.
These streams are sought after for water
for townsites, millsites, ETC., and will be
valuable property if the mines in that
district turn out to be producers. The
applications were so numerous at II
O. clock Monday that Engineer Thurtell
is in somewhat of quandary as to which
papers to file first, and there may be liti-
kation regarding the holdings.

New York, January 9.-Attorney Gem eral Hadley of Missouri. who Is con ducting the hearing before Commissioner Sanborn in connection with the suits brought against the so-called oil trust by the state of Missouri. said today that Thomas w. Lawson of Boston, would be invited to appear before the commissioner. This decision was reached today when the attorney general was informed that MT. Lawson last night expressed a will lingness to come to New York in ac- cordance with the inquiry. He said he would telegraph Mir. Lawson immediately and ask him to come to New York and testify.
 If Thomas w. Lawson can throw any light upon the present existing trust re- lations which we understand. are em- ployed by the Standard oil company. we will be glad to have him testify" said MT. Hadley.
 But if he can only come here and add to the sensationalism of the proceedings. I do not care to have him appear. If he will be glad to hear him, but for the purpose of a general recital we do not nor will not need him"
 Mir. Hadley sent the following telegram to MT. Lawson:

 Was he private secretary to John D. Rockefeller
 No answer.
 Are you stockholder in the Standard oil company of Indiana, or of New Jer- sey?'
 Witness declined to answer. He also refused to describe his own duties. He did not think the Standard oil company has an office in Kansas City Mo.
 Was it not moved across the line late ly, and does it keep a record of the busi- ness in Missouri?"
 q think 1t was moved there some time ago."
 Attorney General Hadley and the coun- sel for the Standard Oil company then dis cussed arrangements for arguing tomor- row before the supreme court on the order to make Henry Rogers show cause why he should not answer questions ask ed him by Mir. Hadley.
 It was agreed that the argument should be made tomorrow The hearing then ad- iourned until tomorrow.

ROGERS ORDERED
 BEFORE THE COURT
Must Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Required to Answer Hadley's
 Questions.

New York January 9.--Henry Woll- man, acting as counsel for Attorney General Hadley of Missouri obtained an order today requiring H. H. Rogers, vice president of the Standard oil company of New Jersey, to appear in the supreme court tomorrow and show cause why he should not be required to answer ques- tons in the taking of testimony here be- fore Commissioner Sanbofn for use in the case of the state of Missouri against the Standard oil company and two other companies doing business in Missouri. The order was issued by Justice Davey in the New York supreme court
 The application made by MT. Wollman is based on an affidavit by Attorney General Hadley setting forth the pend ency of the proceedings in the Missouri courts. and that the companies are charged with violating the statutes of the state of Missouri against combina- tions in trade, and also the common law of the state of Missouri to the same ef- feet, which the petition states was the common law of England in the fourth year of the reign of King James 1.
 Accompanying the petition are the val rious questions which were asked of Mf. Rogers and which he refused to answfr.
