freight and start on the trial run.
When . few mills out of Reno
heavy sand was encountered and
the machine came to q standstill.
Full power was applied with the
result that three of the four driving

further use. The auto was hauled
back to Reno and will be shipped to
San Francisco where the streets
are much harder and better adapt

average country road in Nevada.
Supt. Lassen accompanied the

SELLS NHlSKEY
TO INDIANS

Tuesday, Constable Carr caught
J. J. Dalton open-handed in the
act OF selling whiskey to Albert
BOh, Washoe Indian. Carr had
been keeping an eagle-eye on the
offender for some time and was
satisfied that he would land his
man sooner or later. Dalton, after
being arrested, openly confessed to
the officers of having committed
the offense and further stated that
while he knew whiskey selling to
Indians was violation OF the
law, he could see he particular
harm in it. The prisoner was
taken to Genoa and placed in the
county Jail to await trial.
Constable Carr states that he
an exceptionally strong case a,
gainst Dalton, which linked with
the prisoners confession, makes the
chances of securing a conviction
reasonably sure.

Bogus Delivery
Boys Captured

The young man who attempted to

telegram at the home Of Mr.. Cornell
the night before last has been cap.
tured and with him pal The for
mer gives the name Of Edward War
ner, and both boys say they were for
merly telegraph delivery boys in Den.

there, while the other says his people
live In Alberta, Canada.
The boys attempted to collect mon
ey at several places, but, as far as is
known, Mrs. Toomey Is the only one
who paid She gave seventy-five cents
before opening her telegram.
The pair were detected by Post
master Blood writing kilograms at :
desk in the postoffice. He had Just
read in The Optic 0fs1fr Coruellss e.
perience and he at once suspected that
the young fellows were fixing up
bogus dispatches for fraudulent pur-
poses.
He telephoned to Manager Nichaels
OF the Western Union, who secured
the services Of Officer Ben Cole. When
the two reached he postoffice the
boys we're still there writing dis
patches. They were arrested and the
kilograms we're opened and read. They
were written on sending instead Of
receiving blanks, fact which aroused
the suspicion OF Mr.. Cornell in the
case OF his dispatch. The kilograms
were addressed to various we'll known
people Of the city, and one was design
ed for the wife of the Western Union
manager. The messages we're rather
cleverly gotten up, asking the receiver
to meet some friend at the depot, the
initials being signed, or perhaps
speaking Of the illness Of some one in
a nearby city.
The matter will probably be brought
up before Justice Bope this afternoon.
The boys confess their guilt and say
they were unable to get work and had
to get money to keep from starving.
Both give the age Of seventeen. but
look older. They have crafty. but not
hard faces. The blanks used were Sc.
cured from the Western Union office
under the pretence that they were
wanted at the opera house.
