place since early last month, when he
had come there from Fallon. He was
employed ut first tending horses III my

because OF being ineapacitated by hard
drink On the day of the row, which
resulted In his death, he had been quite
quarelsome at different times, and his
many remarks finally eliminated in my
ordering him from the place. Instead
of leaving, he became more abusive,
and during my absence from behind the
bar, he drew his knife and made an at
tack upon me, striking out with the open
blade. Had he succeeded in reaching
me he would certainly have inflicted Il
very serious wound. | Immediately re-
tired behind the bar, and grabbing the
hose, stood ON the defensive. As Black
ie came toward me, | reached over the
bar and grabbed him by the collar with
my left hand, striking him with the
loaded hose which held in my right
hand. The first blow found lodgment
on the left side OF his head, but all sub

RAISED
FALLON POST OFFICE RAISED TO
PRESIDENTIAL CLASS
Change Will Take effect January 1st,
1907 Additional Clerical Hire Granted

The growing Importance of Fallon as
Il postal center has been recognized by
the postotiice department raising Fallon
to the presidential class. Postmistress
Callie Ferguson received word to this eff
feet this week and tie eorderconveying the
information names January lst, 1907, as
The date when the change goes into ef-
feet.
1hs raise is in accordance with the
rule laid down by the department that
whenever the receipts OF an office ex-
ceed, for period that would denote
permanencv, the maximum stamp can
collation. OF $3.50 per quarter, that the
office shall be r,ised to the presidential
class. The salary of the third class
postmaster is governed by the gross re-
ccipts of the office With minimum of
$1,000 per annum. Taking the.past year 5
business rs an index from which to
Judge, the salary of the Fallon post
master cannot be less than 800 per
year. In addition to thissum additional
clerical hire is granted and Mrs. Fergu-
son has already been instructed to see
that the appointment is made and the
bond of the new appointee submitted.
Within few weeks the Churchill
county mails will be carried by the
Fallon railway, thus making the local
office the distr,b lting center for the
entire county, and doing away with the
many inconveniences that result from
the present unbu sines-like method in
vogue in the handling of the county
mails, especially !hose consigned to the
miaing camps in the southern part OF
the county, which travel by way of
ilazen at the present time. On account
Of this fact it often happens that n

sumes four or five days in transit.

sary by. thefapidly increasing postal

ing of new quarters, the present quar-
ters being totally inadequate to the de-
mands. Additional boxes will have to
be installed and other equipment added.
However, ns change will be made in
the location ut the present time. We
learn from an indirect source that Sena-
tor w w. Williams is contemplating
the erection Of another business build
ing eafly next spring, in which event
the postotlice will likely be assigned to
the new quarters thus created.

MURDER
JOHN w. CARROLL, OF HAZEN, IN
THE TOLLS
John Papy The Victim of The Deadly
Loaded Hose

John Papy, better known as "Black-
ie', well known in Fallon and vicinity
as saloon hanger on and ditch worker,
at which jobs he, worked alternately
died Wednesday evening, from the ef-
iects of blow from loaded rubber
hose, administered by John w Carroll,
who is also we'll known in this section,
having been at different times the pro-
prietor Of saloons in this place and
Derby, but who is now the proprietor OF
the Carol saloon and hotel in lIazen.
L. W. Black, the Fallon justice, ac-
eompanied by 7. N. Packard represent
ting the state, and Drs. Censor and Has
call, who were the attending physicians
who administered to Papy between the
time of his receiving his injury and the
time of his death, who were retained by
the county to make the post mortem,
went to liazen Thursday morning,
where Il coroner's jury WAS summoned.
The examination of three witnesses in
addition to the two physicians, adduced
the facts that the deceased was in a
badly inebriated condition at the time OF
receiving his death blow, but the nature
of the alteration, nor the culpabiity OF
the two parties were not brought out.
1t was shown by the testimony of the
,, two physicians that the deceased had
come to his death from blood eliot on
the brain induced by a heavy blow, re-
ceived on the left side OF the head at
the hands of J. w. Carroll
The following is the jury's verdict:
"Wc your jury, Who are summoned
and sworn to inquire by what means the
person lying here dead came to his
death do find as follows:
The deceased man = name is John Papy,
aged thirty-eight years and that he was
a native OF the state of Georgia. We
find that he came 10 his death on the

ment'of work, means great deal more
to Fallon and vicinity than is generally
supposed. At least ten thousand acres
of the best lands tributary to this place
have been withheld from all develop
ment by insincere homestead entrymen
A great many OF the applications for
lands had during the past two years
have been for tracts embraced by these
dead entries, but rs the government
land lawsare meant 10 give every entry
man a fair and square deal, no action
would be taken until sufficient time
had elapsed after the delivery oil water
to prove the settlers intentions.
Mr.. Parke estimates that all cancel
lations should become OF record some
time during the latter part OF next
March, or early in the month following
The local reclamation officials, espeei-
ally Thomas II. Means, the engineer in
charge of the operation and mainten-
anee of the rruckee-C Carson project have
kept careful record of the status of all
homestead entries, and the fact that
complete harmony exists between the
General Land Office, the Indian Bureau
and the Reclamation Department pres
ages unqualified success for the officials
in the handling OF future homestead
entries

Special Agent +. J. Parke, A most
Trusted Employee, is Making Report

I. J. Parke, special agent of the gem
eral land office, who is attached at pres
ent to the Carson City and Susanvile,
California, land Offices, arrived in Fail
lon Wednesday and has since been busi.
ed with the work OF investigating the
merits of approximately one hundred
and fifty homestead entries, made in
the Truekee-Carson project, the vast
majority of which are situated in Dis
trict No. 3, within Il few miles of this
place
When the Truckee- Carson project was
first set aside, the majority of these
entrymen, following the custom estab-
lished elsewhere, came into the section,
and filed upon these lands for purely
speculative purpose, as subsequent
events have proven. Owing to the fact
that water delivery did not occur until
last spring, no action was taken rs both
the land departments and the reclama-
t.on departments desired to give the
settler every benefit OF the doubt, and
allow him an opportunity to show his
good intentions. With but few eXcep-
tions, the entrymen have failed to show
up, and the failure OF the reclamation
officials to even get their addresses has
seriously hampered matters. Mr..
Parke comes now to make final re port
upon the merits OF the homestead en-
tries, and folloNin the receipt OF his
report, the general land office will take
definite action and cancel all entries in
which the law has not been lived up to.
In no case will ut entry be cancelled
until every reasonable effort is made
to communicate with the entryman and
an opp )rtunity given br him to show
cause ii any, why he has not lived up
to the requirements of the law.
