MARKS STORY FALSE.
Well Known business Man Not Finan
cially Embarrased--COn-
fined to Bed.

FRIENDS of J. r Marks, well known
salOonist, were considerably aroused
yesterday by report which became
current ~ the effect that MS Dusine. 5
had gone into the hands of a re-
ceiver Marks friends in denying the
story stated that he was perfectly ablc
and willing at any time to NEE AL
of his obligations and declared Cpl D.
site statement to be falsehood from
beginning to end.
Marks has been i'll for few days,
being threatened with pneumonia,
and it is his opinion that the st.ry
was started by enemies who hoped
TO harm him while he was unable to
defend himself from reports they
might circulate. Although the wor-
ry caused him by the rumor worked
against improvement in his condition
he was reported to be better last
night and unless some unforeseen
complication sets in will probably be
able to resume his usual rounr of
duties in few days.

LAND FENCING
Lawyer Points Out Restrictions
Which Are Made-..ThOSe Who
Can Legally Fence.

e. J. l.. Tabor, "a we'll known Elko
attorney and an authority on land
laws, in a letter to the Free Press
gives the following information and
advice to ranchers in regard to the
fencing of government lands:
The government has evidently de-
cided to enforce the law against lille
gal fencing of public lands. There
can be no doubt that a considerable
number of our ranchers have violat-
ed and are today violating the law.
The wisest things for such persons
is to have their Illegal fencing taken
down and have them down immedi-
ately.
1T is to be observed that not only
is an unlawful enclosure prohibited
but any fence on the public domain
which actually obstructs or impedes
passage across the public domain, is
within the prohibition of the statute.
An inspection of the United States
statute on this subject shows us that
all fences on public lands are unlaw-
full except in three cases: First,
where the party at the time of erect
ing the fence does so under claim OF
title made or acquired in good faith !;
second, where the person constructing
the fence does SO under title made
and acquired i'll good faith; and third,
where the person enclosing the land
at the time CT erecting the enclosure
does so with genuine and bona fide
intention of applying for and acquir-
ing title to the land under the general
land laws of the United States.
THUS far the court has not decid-
ed in this state whether a fence may
be lawfully erected on a valid mining
claim or on a desert land entry, en-
tered under the Carey law; but where
such enclosures are made in good
faith, they probably come within the
exception of the statute.

SANTA CLAUS
MAIL MATTER
POstmasters Get Instructions from
Washington to Convey Missives
10 Prime FavOrite of Season

In past years many communica-
tons have been received by the post
office department requiring the deliv-
cry of so-called Santa Claus letters to
philanthropic societies and Others in
various parts of the country, but the
requests have always been denied, the
department taking the stand that let
ters of importance would be classed
with Santa Claus letters, through err
ror; that it would be exposing to pri
yate parties confidential correspond
ence; that the letters might contain
valuable enclosures. and that such a
practice would not be in keeping with
the principles of the sanctity of the
mails.
This year, however, Postmaster
General Meyer has adopted more
liberal attitude to this matter, fact
indicated by receipt of an order by
postmasters all over the country tto
whom letters full ofttrust and plead
ing are coming in such numbers from
the Little Ones") to let the people
of their cities know through the news
papers that mail addressed to Santa
Claus will be delivered to any re-
sponsible parties who will undertake
to act as Santa Claus agents in the
matter.
The order follows: Hereafter and
until the close of the first day of jan
nary, 1908, postmasters are directed
to deliver all letters arriving at their
respective postoffices addressed plain
ly and Enthusiastically to Santa Claus
without any other terms of expression
identifying the person for whom such
letters are intended, to any regularly
organized charitable society in the
city or town of address, to be used eX
clusively for charitable purposes.
I'm the event that claim should be
made by more than one such society
for letters so addressed, such letters
will be equally divided according to
number between or among the soci-
cites making such claim.
As it was found that the name of
Kris Kringle' appears in various
city directories, it was directed to
avoid confusion and loss of letters in
tended for persons of that name. that
the new regulations should apply only
to Santa Claus, who appears to have
no namesake.
