CARSON, New, Oct. 1.-THE Unit

advice saying the principal portion Of
the Walker Indian reservation will be
thrown open to entry at noon, Octo-
ber 29, but. presuming the dispatches
from Washington are correct, the re-

mineral and agricultural lands will be

Mining men are deeply interested in
the allotment method inasmuch as the
laws Of Nevada do not limit the num-
Der of claims any person can locate.
The reservation consists principally
of mineral lands bearing gold, silver
and copper.
A big rush and much trouble is ex-
pected unless a peaceable system of
allotment is devised.
Six townships are reserved for the

Declaring she took the electrical
goods from her husbands store be-
cause she hadn't cent of money, Mrs.
Luella Wingard, on the witness stand

place to fill contracts which she had
undertaken here in Walla Walla in
her own name and in which Brace did
the work; that the goods alleged to

left over from these contracts and
were shipped by her to Brace at La

goods for her at La Grande and that
she got the money. That she had al
most full charge Of the store at
walla Walla and had authority to sell
articles at any time.

against Brace in her hand, she said

Mountain dealers have advanced the
price of four foot wood to "a on the

the price will advance to greater
figure before winter is over.

JIMMY W|GG|Ns REAL HERO
After Two Attempts He Enters

Risking his life to save the building

the Fourteenth Cavalry, performed a
nervy feat Tuesday night by ventur-
ing into the basement of the Gus Har-
ras building, at No. Z Alder street, and
shutting off a leak in a bursted am
monia pipe, which was filling the cold
storage quarters with deadly fumes.
The leak was shut off only after
an attempt by Mr.. Harras, which near

the basement and was nearly knocked
down by the deadly fumes. He rush

his lungs ventured back into the base

Fearful of an explosion Mr.. Harras

this was ruled as immaterial by the
court.
Mrs. Wingard testified that when
Wingard had given her ticket to the
coast for herself and son and SIS,
that she had gone to Portland and
then to La Grande to meet Brace. She
said this was the only opportunity she
had to get away as she could never
get cent.
1t Tickled Wingard.

smiled at this. It was the only time
during the whole course of the re-

ton with the progress of the trial.
Brace narrowly misses being a
handsome man, but mas something Of
the prison pallor and criminal look. He
is now serving time on "the hill' for

Mrs. Wingard was the only witness
for the defense. For the state Wingard
stated that he had sole charge of the
business and that he did not know of
any goods being taken from the store
