DEATH
RECALLS NARROWING FACTS Or
TRAGEDY
Former Husband of Female AccOmplice
Dies in FallOn

George Cross, who is best known in
this section By the name OF George
Pike, died in the Oberon rooming house
Tuesday night, after a short illness OF
pleuro-pneumonia. Deceased was aged
y years, and up TO the time OF his
death was very active man, having
been employed by the government
until a few months ago, as a teamster.
Since that time, he has been engaged in
running teamng outfit between Ha1en
and the mining camps.
He leaves a son in Sacramento, the
only known relative. Several head of
horses, rigs and few hundred dollars
in cash comprise the estate.
The death OF Mr. Cross recalls the aw-
full tragedy enacted on the desert in Lin
coin county in the year 1897, when one
John Hancock, prospeetor, brutally
murdered Peter Edmundson and DR.. En-
gelke, mutilating their remains, and ap-
propriating to himself their wagon,
team and outfit. At the time of the
murder Hancock was living with Mrs
Cross. Among the deceased mans ef-
feets were papers which would tend to
confirm the belief that this woman was
none other than the vile OF George
Cross.
After leaving Lincoln county, the gull
ty man and his companion made their
way to Utah and later 10 Los Angeles
where Hancock committed Il. burglary
and was apprehended by the peace au-
thorities 1t was during the course oil
his trial for burglary that Mrs. Cross,
either through remorse or fear Of Han
cock, confessed to the officers of the law,
Hancock's part in the narrowing muir
der and he was promptly brought to
this state, tried and was hanged at
Carson City in August 1898.
Confrmatory OF the part which the
deceased mans vile played in the most
shocking tragedy eaaeted in this state
in recent years, Cross had often held
conversations with J. w. Ferguson,
when employed as teamster - the
Hayes camp, then near the Ferguson
ranch, in which he had intimated to Mr.
Ferguson that a mystery surrounded his
married life that would some day come
to light, but as Mr. Ferguson never
cared to pursue the subject further, the
facts in the case were not learned until
the effects of the dead man were exam
incd by Dr. J. c Simpkins, the public
administrator.

Death of DR.. Alma Jane COe

Mrs. DIR. Alma Jane Coe, mother OF
c. f. Coe, died quite suddenly at the
residence of her son, in this place last
Sunday at 2 a. M, from hemorrhage
of the lungs. Only few hours prior to
her death Dr. Coe had been in the best
of health and spirits, and her sudden
demise came without warning.
DIR. Coe was a recent arrival from
Idaho, having come here in order to be
near her son. 1t was her intention to
homestead a desirable piece Of land
near town and engage in the practice Of
her profession. Being strong, hearty
lady, she had every reason to believe
that she would be spared to realize her
ambition, but the grim ,eaper took her
away, thus casting a cloud of sorrow
over the homes of her friends and rel
atives, by whom she was greatly be-
loved
The funeral was held from the Bap-
tist Church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. A.
Lester Hazlett, the Episcopal archdea-
con, conducting the funeral. Inter
ment was had in the Fallon cemetery.

Innovation In 1907 stamns

Postage stamps Of the issue Of 1907, at
5000 Presidential post5nices, will bear
on their face the name OF the state and
city in which the postofice is situated.
The chief reason for this innovation is
said, at the postonice department, to be
the belief thai it will help to 30 away
with post2idee robbcrics and make it
much easier to trace criminals. The
postolliee robbery at Chicago a few years
ago is good example OF the ease with
which stolen postage stamps can be dis
posed of, for no trace OF the perpetrators
was ever discovered, although ne"rly
100000 worth Of stamps was stolen, and
these mostly in small denominations.
Another reason Tor the change is to en-
able the postoniee department to deter
mine the amount OF business done by
different postonices and prevent padding
through stamps sold by some Offices to
residents who do business in adjoining
cities.

RAILROAD

General Coxy. Now a Promoter, May
Build Narrow Gauge

The great need Of the Churchill county
mines at present is better transporta-
ton faculties While the freighting is
now very well and promptly handled by
the energetic teamstcrs with whose
caravans the roads are lined constantly,
nevertheless the cost Of hauling supplies
in and oreoutis a very serious handicap to
the industry. To overcome this condition,
it has been proposed to build an electric
road from the railroad to the mining
camps. 1t is rumored in Fairyiew that
such a project is in contemplation, if
not under negotiation now, by parties
associated with General Coxy, OF Coxy
army lame, who recently visited the
district. 1t has been suggested that,
pending the building Of the standard
gauge road into the mining district
about Fairyiew and Wonder, it might
be practicable to lay a narrow gauge
track and cheaper the freight rate by
two-thirds or more.
1t is pointed ont that such a track
could DE utilized after the standard
gauge roads reaches the camps, in the
interurban traffic which is destined to
grow rapidly in Carson Sink Valley

watch for Seed Aduiter.tlon..

The work Of different experiment sta
tons has shown that a large number OF
foreign seeds are contained in clover
and alfalfa seed, including the dod-
ders, which are so destructive to a,fal-
In. and a large number Of bad weed
pests like the narrow plantain. wild
mustard and host Of new weeds.
One impure sample of last years sup
ply contained thirty-two species Of for
eign seeds, including both species Of
dodder, the plantains, many common
weeds, three species Of Western weeds
that are new In Ohio ana as many
European weeds that have been here
tofore unknown in this State. At least
dozen new weeds have been intro
duced into Ohio in alfalfa seed during
half as many years.
While this Is unacceptable it Is still
more 50 to get only black medick (yel-
low trefoil) plants as many have done,
where supposed alfalfa seed was sown.
In these times Of high-priced seeds
there Is temptation to adulterate with
cheap seeds like the black medick, etc.
which have very slight value as forage
plants with us; there Is like disposi-
ton to offer seeds with many weed
seeds, at low prices. Both these dan
gers are real Intending purchasers of
such seeds will do we'll to be assured OF
their quality. .r

Granary with Elevator.

Here's plan of granary to hold 5000
Oushels OF grain; the walls are Of stone,
ana an elevator Is arranged to work
Dy morse power. A granary 10 hold
o'ooo bushels will require to be 22 feet
Dy 3S feet inside. This will give six
olns, size 10 feet by feet, and 6 feet
mgh. This will also allow for q pas
sage across the middle of the building 8
teet wide, which will give access to all
OF the bins and can be used for cleaning
grain, as well as storing small imple-
ments. The floor should be raised four
feet from the ground to make it dry
and convenient for loading grain. as
well as to provide for the elevator, and
peitlng below the floor. The walls be-
ing OF stone, should be 13 feet high !;
this will provide for 4 feet below the
Moor, one foot for floor, then 8 feet to
the plates; this will give one foot clear
over the bins. There should be q stone
center wall lengtwise under the floor
to carry the floor joIsts, which will be
l. feet long and match on middle wall
To give head room over the top joists
the roof should be a third pitch.
Following Is the required material:
1,25O feet roofing. one inch.
1910 feet flooring, inch, to be laid
double.
80 joists for floor, 2 inches by II
inches, IL feet long, 1000 feet.

Inches, "a feet long. 61O feet.
$50 feet lumber for bins, one inch.
26 studs, inches by inches, feet
long.
18 squares shingles.
$50 feet inch lumber for doors.
40 rafters, 2 inches by 6 inches, 16
feet long.
To arrange an elevator for horse
power, hopper that will hold at least
30 bushels should be sunk in the floor
close to the door and at one side to
empty grain for the wagon. The ele-
vator Is an ordinary built elevator with
buckets standing upright and In the
rear corner of center bin. The box at
bottom of elevator must be close on the
ground to be connected with the deliv-
cry hopper by spout, with sufficient
slope that the grain will run freely.
The elevator will discharge we'll above
the upper ioists into a hopper in the
center of the building. TO which fun
nelshaped spout Is attached, that can
be shifted to deliver into any Of the
bins. The horse power should be plac-
ed at the end of the granary. and driv

For Calioused Shoulders.

method of treatment and cure OF cal
!oused shoulders Of work horses in the
Dakota Farmer, which he says he has
used with uniform success, as follows
II cut a slit in the front part Of the
collar opposite the callous, then cut
mother slit at right angles across the
first one. I then take out enough OF
she filling to allow for callous. After
soaking face of collar IN warm wzcter
1 lay the front part, where cuts have
been made, on a plank or something
solid, and pound face of collar where
1t presses on callous, with round-faeed
hammer, till n sufficient hollow has
been made. This plan will work
whether collar has been used with or
without pad Then when the horse
comes In from work bathe the callous
In water as hot as can be borne and
paint with iodine. You viii find this
plan worth trying, and will guarantee
the collar viii not be injured"
