WILL SOON LAY RAILS IN
NEVADA !
NEVADA FARMERS
FIGHT UNCLE
SAM

RENO, April 30-The secretary of
the interior has refused to recognize
the contracts made by the government
agents in Churchill county when the
surveys were being made for the
fruekee-Carson reclamation project,
and has refused to allow The original
landowners water for their lands now
under cultivation unless they pay
maintenance rate Of 40 cents per inch
per acre every year.
These large farmers held valuable
water rights along the Carson and had
constructed canals and bitches to ir.
rigate their lands. The government 'se
agents signed articles with them to
allow them water for their land then
under cultivation free of charge if
they would relinquish their rights and
allow the government to construct
waterways on their land.
In view of this tn farmers refuse
to pay what they term an exorbitant
rate of 40 cents and have joined in Sc
curing attorneys in an attempt to
reach a settlement with the govern
ment. If no settlement is made the
case viii be taken into court Should
the case be lost, thousands of acres
will become waste.
Attorneys Summerfeld and Curler
of Reno have taken up the complaint
of the land owners, whose offers of
settlement have so far been rejected
by the yovarnmant officials Thay
were promised one inch Of water for
every acre of land under cultivation
free.

he PASSED PHONEY
PAPER
ELIJAH HAIRS GATHERS
IN ROSEBUD BUSINESS MEN
To the Tune of Several Hundred Dol
lars-He Draws ON John s. Cook
and Co., Bankers, but His Bank
Account is Goosegg

f. II. Bradley, one of the proprietors
of the Brown Palace saloon and cafe
in Rosebud, appeared before Judge
Robins today and swore to a complaint
against Elijah Harris. charging the
latter with the crime of felony, to-
! wit; the passing of phoney paper
money.
Recently Mr.. Elijah Harris, girded
in the popular garb of the prosperous
miner, new John B. Stetson hat, a
brilliant suit of corduroy and a shining
pair of leather leggings, came to Rose
bud, stayed few days, and spent
much mazuma He had bank ac-
count, or it was presumed bank ac-
count, for his checks drawn on John
S. Cook and Co, bankers of Goldfeld
We're honored in the town of Rosebud
without question.
Many of the business men of Rose
bud now lament the trust they placed
in Mr.. Elijah Harris. They are ex-
ceeding sore also and will make an
effort to put the individual in a place
where he will not monkey with paper
money
The exact amount of the loss is not
known. Mr. Bradley gives a number
of instances of worthless checks being
reese', running up into a large
amount. Mr.. Harris has gone and his
present location is not known.
When you want to pass a check in
Rosebud from now on, the man who
honors the draft will have to know
you mighty well.
You will have to be able to quote
instances of how you knew each other
way back in the sixties and your per
sonal honor as well as a knowledge of
your bank account will have to be
known in order that you can get the
money.

CASE Continues
SLOWLY
OF WITNESSES
FOR PLAINTIFF PROCEEDS
in Plaintiff Witnesses in Sheep
Trespass Case

A night session last evening from
till 8 and two sittnigs of the court
up till 3;15 today, when ten-minute
ecess was called, were not sufficient
or the examination of all the witness
IS put on by the attorneys for the
plaintiff in the sheep trespass case be-
tween j. p. Anderson, the millionaire
cattle and stock owner, and Sylvan
Siard, over the alleged trespassing of
The latter s sheep on the lands of the
former in the northeastern section of
HUMBOLDT county.
A basque herder in the employ of
the plaintiff occupied the witness
stand yesterday afternoon and even
ing. He is unable to speak English
and the services of an interpreter were
required. Handicapped in this man
ner, his examination proceeded slowly.
In fact, it took about seven minutes
by the clock, to get his right name.
He tested, mostly by. signs and
symbols, in regard to the land on
which the defendant Is bucks had run.
Asked whether he knew w. H. Holt,
who was designated, he replied: eyes,
that was the man who found the
scabs.'
Following the herder's testimony, A.
A. Stock, also in the employ of the
plaintiff, took the stand, and he was
followed by j. P. Anderson, Jr. w.
H. Holt also took the stand and was
followed by J. p. Anderson, Sr.
Considerable confusion was evident
in the testimony of different witnesses
for the plaintiffs in regard to the ex-
act grounds on which the defendant s
bucks ranged.

DEAD"
" ANOTHER READEko SAYS
THIS CONCERNING CUPID
Gives Woman's Side of the Case in
the Discussion Regarding Decrease
in Marriage Licenses

Editor Silver State:
Looking over your paper last even
ing, my attention was called to this
.headline: rs Cupid Dead or Sleep
ing9' I said: Would to Gold he
were,' and proceeded to read the ar
tiele, DIN which / found much truth,
but which ] believe was all one
sided. / think there is another side
to this story, for with all decency,
selfrespect, ambition, morality, and
love of respectability laid aside by
men, what is there left for the women
but money? There is nothing to man
but his money, and girl must marry
what she finds.
The whole human family has either
advanced or retrograded-I am not
prepared to say which--but in my
opinion the women are not wholly to
blame, and / believe they will ac-
knowledge their part, if any they
have in the matter.
The writer tells what the girl of
today wants, which is nothing more
than she ought to have if she can get
it, but he does not say anything about
what SIZE gets when she marries the
average young man of tody. Let us
AXE peepl For example let us take
a case of this kind, which is very com
mon: The young wife has prepared
and spread meal for her husband, a
good, neat, wholesome meal. He is
seated at the table-the wife is lit
tie late something more to prenare
and while he is waiting this thing
she has married takes ont his little
"Greaser outfit and pours the to-
bacco in the paper and pulls the strins
with his teeth and smokes his little
cigarette. After the meal is finished
she asks this thing to get her
some water. He takes bucket and
his little outfit out and goes through
the same program as before, and this
is the case in every act of his. He ar
rives at the hydrant, sets the bucket
down, makes cigarettes, lights it,
forgets his mission, strolls off up town
and gets interested in someone else s
game and stays until l a. m.
Now where is this girls OF course
she has gone after the water, and un-
less she is fortunate enough to belong
to lodges enough to take up every
evening in the week, she is watching
and waiting for this wretch to return
and if they are blessed with God s
best gift and only tie, the officers can
take care of it.
This "grand young man. who has
smoked cigarettes until his fingers
are Drowned with nicotine, until his
teeth are diseolored and until his
breath causes the very dogs on the
street tostop and sniff at him, is mar
ried to loveable young woman,
whose breath is as fresh and sweet
as that of the rose, and occupies with
her the same house-aye, the same bed
who has got the worst of the union9

MEETS TERRIBLE DEATH
BENEATH CAR WHEEL 6

SPARKS, New, May Ia horrible
accident occurred last night on the
n. and c. near Pawnee, small station
twenty miles south of Hazen, when an
unknown man was ground to death
beneath the wheels of passenger train
NO. "A, in charge of Conductor Joseph
Holland.
The man was endeayoring to beat
his way over the division and was put
off at Hazen. Nothing more was
thought of the incident until the train
men noticed crunching noise beneath
the cars. The train was stopped i'm
mediately and an investigation made.

The unfortunate man was found dead
beneath one of the coaches. He was
horribly mangled and his body had
been dragged for several miles.
The body was taken to Churchill,
where it is probable that the coroner e
inquest may disclose the identity of
the deceased.
1T is thought that the unfortunate
man, after being put off the train at
Hazen. determined to make his wav
over the division by the hazardous
practice of riding the rods He had
evidently fallen from the rods, his
clothing became entangled and he was
dragged to death.
