RELIEF FROM ROBBERY.

The signs of the times indicate thai
the people are to find sureease from or
ganized and unorganized. but ceaseless
robbery, at last, The sentiment OF re
sistance has been growing for the pas
few wears. and the well-intentioned rep
resentatives of the masses, have takeI
the cue, and are doing good work al
over the country.
The federal law is being invoked anc
applied successfully upon the thievins
combines that have relied upon the law:
under which they were created, fol
immunity; they are being dragged
into decent lines and compelled tc
get square, and others are being
heavily mulcted for their grosser Of
fenses; the state codes are being utili'
zed broadcast. to start the system OF
re-adjustment and the establishment Of
honester conditions, and the great
grafters are yielding obedience and sub
mission to the law and the growth OF
popular wrath. There is nothing so
imperative as sharply defined public
sentiment to bring law officers, and law
breakers, to their senses.
Nearer home we are about to be freed
from the stress of open and public
gambling; and this community will be
clear of the odious and hurtful customs
in day or two. These things are as
they should be. The markets of the
country are now holding all the necessi.
ties and luxuries of life at the ultra
limit of cost, to the ordinary man, and
it is enough to have to pay legitimate ( y
expenses without suffering the additional
burden of money thrown away upon the
idle elements of humanity without any
sort of return.
This cleanup brings with it, however,
the suggestion, that such movements in.
variably run to extremes and the doc
trine of submergence and annihiliation
replaces the cardinal idea of regulation,
until one gets as sick of the latter exag-
geration as it was of the original imposi-
tion. 1t is always well to. know when
and where to stop with reforms, so that
the quality of justice and fair play may
be maintained. There are rational and
honest trusts, and decent combines, do
ing business all over the land and doing
it right; and there is said to be honest
gamblers, and clean sports. If the gen.
eral trend of reforms now afoot shall
take due cognizance of the evil realities
and let the unhurtful things and people
alone, it will be all right; but if the
Same old program Of wholesale and in.
discriminate attack and vaporing and
fanatical rowing is to 60 their usual
length, the same old disgust will arise,
and the tone of popular clamor will
change again.

WHY WONDER DOES
NOT HAVE MAIL SERVICE

The people of Wonder and Fairview
have for some time past complained
bitterly at the entire lack of mail
service to which they are subjected.
They freely criticize the postal authos-
tiles for the existing conditions Ae-
cording to the correspondence between
Senator Newlands and the office of
the postmaster general, this criticism
is undeserved, as the department is
helpless under the law to establish
mail routes except according to the
regulations.
When postoffice was first applied
for the department responded by ap-
pointing a postmaster, and authorized
hlm to secure carrier. The postal
laws say that carrier shall not re-
ceive more than two thirds the pay of
the postmaster on route off regular
service route, hence none was procur-
ed. Immediately after this had peen
done the department proceeded in the
regular way to advertise for bids for
carrying the mail to and from Fair
view and Wonder, and to these adyer-
tlsements has SO far received no bids.
1T cannot provide the service in any
other way.
In response to a communication
from Senator Newlands asking what
had been done in the matter, the answer
was received that an agent had been
sent to investigate the conditions, and
that it was the hope of the department
that 1T would be able to prevail on
someone to bid for the contract.

ELKO INDIANS FORM
A HAY.HANDS
UNION
Ranchers of Eastern County Refuse
Demand of Eight Hour Day and
$3.50 Wage Scale and Have a
Strike on Their Hands

ELKO, New, July 26.-Thc Indians
OF Elko county have organized a
union and are now out on their first
strike. Unless the trouble is settled
the farmers of this county will suffer
considerable loss because of their
crops remaining unharvested. The
farmers of Elko heretofore have plac-
ed entire dependence upon Indian
labor to harvest their crops, and until
this season no trouble was experienced
Two weeks ago an Indian who had
been IN southern Nevada and imbued
union principles, returned to Elko and
began to organize his tribesmcn. The
first knowledge the whites had of the
union was when delegation of red
skinned warriors called upon Georye
Russell, one of the prominent ranchers
OF Elko county and demanded that
th,ir working day be reduced to eight
hours and the wages increased to
500. The demand was refused, with
the result that every man in his en-.
ploy quit work. Other Indians ~u
neighboring ranches, hearing of this,
also quit, and for a time trouble was
looked for. Since then some of the
hay raisers have granted the demands
OF the Indians, while others have suc-
ceeded in carrying on their harvest
with the and of white men employed
at Eiko and neighboring towns.

Automobile Trip
to Boise is
Begun

At clock yesterday morning the
Blume automobile departed on the run
to Boise, over the route of the pro-
posed s. f. j. & M. railroad Those
making the trip are p. b. Roberts and
wife and two children, Phile Blume
and wife and A. w. Johnson, the chat
feur, and wife. The trip as outlined
in Thursdays issue will extend up the
Quinn River valley, past McDermitt.
into Oregon. Skirting the Idaho line,
the party will proceed in Oregon for
some distance, when they will turn off
to Caldwell, and thence to the Idaho
capital.
As previously explained, the plan of
the travellers was to make the north
ern capital in two days running. They
had expected to reach McDermitt at
noon yesterday and to have stopped in
Caldwell last evening, reaching Boise
tonight. 1t is much doubted whether
the enthusiastic motorists will make
the trip in the time scheduled, since
theya would have to travel over twelve
miles an hour an everage speed, which
would mean that in some places the
machine would be compelled to make
fifty or more miles an hour.
The return trip will be made in a
few days, the party peing expecte d
to return about the Sth of August.

QUICK DEATH FROM
CHOLERA MORBUS

Dorothy, the 6-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. d. G. Adamson of Hum
boldt House, died at that place Sat
urday afternoon after eating heavily
of gooseberries, and green apples the
previous day. She was taken i'll Fri
day afternoon, but did not appear to
be dangerously sick. During Fri.ay
night, however, alarming symptoms
developed and a physician was sum-
moned from Lovelock. DR.. Martin of
the southern town responded to the
call, coming up to Humboldt House
on No. 6 Saturday afternoon. He
came too late, for the little child had
passed away before the arrival of the
train.
The doctor made postmortem ex-
animation and pronounced the cause
of death to have been cholera morbus,
caused by the green fruit which the
child had eaten.
The remains of the unfortunate child
were brought to Winnemucca Satur-
day evening, and the funeral was held
yesterday from the residence of w
G. Adamson, brother of the deceased
child's father.
The sympathy of the people of Hum
boldt House and Winnemucca is ex-
tended to Mr.. and Mrs. Adamson in
their hour of trouble, and they in turn
desire to express their heartfelt thanks
for this sympathy, and especially to
those who assisted them in their hours
of trouble.

Commercial
GLIB for

The bus ness men of Lovelock. like
the citizens of Elko, are setting an
example to the business men and cit.
izens of Winnemucca The latter town
has a thr wing chamber of commerce,
and the former town is now perfecting
an organization Of it's commercial men.
An important meeting of the busin, IS
men of Lovelock is called for tn s
evening, at which it is intended to
complete an organization.
The Lovelock Tribune, commenting
on the uses to lie served by the organ
izat on, says the following editorially:
We again urge upon our business
men and citizens the Importance of
joining their forces in these of the
commercial club for the upbuilding
and improv ment of this place There
are so many things that can best be
accomplished by organized effort. The
requests of a body of representative
business men will bear much more
weight than those of single indivIu-
ual. In an unincorporated town the
need of such an organization is is
greater than in an incorporated town.
1t is the only way in which anything
for the public good can be accom-
plished.
There are many who dislike to take
part in such an organization because
of discussions and differences which
may arise. such are shirking their
responsibility as citizens of this grow
ing town. Discussions should arise.
Ways and means Of accomplishing de-
sired ends should be thoroughly talked
over and that which is approved by
the majority adopted and the work
supported by all.
So come, ye business men and tax
payers, TO the meeting Monday night

placed deed on record with the the
recorder of Butte county transferring
a large acreage to the new concern.
Associated with Mr.. Rlckard in the
venture are mining men of unlimited
means, who have every confidence in
his judgment. About three months
ago Rickard visited Oroville to look
over the talleged diamond fields and
was convinced that the prospect for
diamonds in paying quantities would
justify the invC stment of capital
Vinton, from whom the land was
purchased, and who is one of the or
ganizers, has resided and mined at
Cherokee for almost forty years. and
found many diamonds himself in the
vicinity while searching for gold. He
has confidence enough in the venture
to back it up with his own money.
Rickard became interested in this
project through M. J. Cooney, dia-
mond miner from South Africa, who
published the statement that he had
discovered in the vicinity of Cherokee
ground which in character is identical
with that known in South Africa to
be diamond bearing. Cooney has TAX

Reported Attempt
to Commit
Rape

Late Friday afternoon the commun-
ity of Paradise Vail was greatly
agitated ty the report that an attempt
to commit rape had been made by a
farm hand on one of the women of the
Stone House ranch, about seven miles
south of the town of Paradise.
An investigation of the report some
what aIlayed the excitement when the
simple assault, instead of the more
serious crime.
Friday afternoon Stephen Ferraro,
owner of the Stone House ranch, came
to Paradise and swore to complaint
before Justice Bradshaw against John
Doe, a farm hand, of assault and told
the following story:
The accused. man, in an intoxicated
condition, had been put off the stage
at the Stone house. He went into the
house, where there were only two
women at home, the men being off in
the field at work. He began to abuse
the women, calling them vile names,
and struck one of them in the face
He then pulled out knife and started
after them. The women managed to
escape from him and ran into room
where they hid themselves.
The man then left the house,
going off into a nearby field, where he
laid down and fell asleep.
short time aftcrward, one of the
farm hands coming in from the field
was told the story by the frightened
women. The farm hand hunted the
man. tied his feet and hands and took
his knife and razor from him.
The Paradise officials serving the
warrant sworn to by Ferraro came TO
the Stone house and got the prisoner.
They took him to Paradise, where he
was tried Saturday on misdemean-
or charge. Justice Bradshaw did not
consider the evidence strong enough
to bind the man over to the grand in.
ry, on charge of felony, so gave him
90 days in the county Jail, on mis-.
demeanor charge
Constable Freemonth, accompanie 1
by Alex Shaw, arrived last evening
with the prisoner and gave him into
the safe keeping of Sheriff Lamb.
