SAVED FROM
DROWNING
In Lake Tahoe by Pres.
ence Of Mind Of
Mrs. A. Cohn

Miss Jessie Foote OF this city, a
sister of Mrs. H. P. Clifford, and Dave
Foot, came near drowning in Lake
Tahoe a few days ago and undoubted-
ly owes her life to the presence of
mind of Mrs. A. Cohn of this city.
The ladies were standing on the
pier at Tahoe City when suddenly
Miss Foote lost her balance and fell
into the lake. Mrs Cohn Immediately
prepared to rescue the young lady
when she arose to the surface and
when she appeared at the top of the
water grasped her clothing firmly and
kept her above water until help ar
rived The water was about twelve
fet deep at the point where Miss
Foote took her plunge and but for the
presence of mind of Mrs. Cohn would
undoubtedly have perished.

The tie UP is complete. The Order of
Railway Telegraphers have offered
their support to the extent of $1,OOO,-

ther that they are ready to leave their

1t is also understood that the union

They CLAIM
INJUSTICE
Farmers i'm Carson Valley
Want River Returned to
Old Channel

A number of farmers in the vicinity
of Genoa have registered a complaint
in the Office of the state engineer al
leging that the government engineers
at work in the reclamation service in
the Carson Valley have turned the
Carson river from its usual channel,
thereby cutting their water supply off.
1t is claimed by them that they sign
ed over their water rights to the
government to expediate matters, but
with the understanding that the state
would protect their rights.
Now they claim thai the engineers
have blasted out a new channel and
have taken the water away from them
by opening up this new waterway
which is so situated that it is an
impossibility for them to even ditch
the water to their lands. They now
ask that the government dam this new
channel and allow the water to take
it's old course.

SOME MORE
TROUbL ES
For Nevada Sheep Com
mission. New Appoint
ment the Cause

The state sheep commission is hav-
ing few more troubles to enliven
things. The latest turn that events
have taken is the objection of Dis
trict Attorney Brockliss of Douglas
county to the appointment Of Fritz
Elges as deputy sheep commissioner
of Douglas county.
Elges was appointed by the commits
sion but Brockliss objects to the
appointment on the grounds that the
appointee is not resident of that
county nor the State of Nevada,
claiming his legal residence to be in
Alpine county, California.
Brockliss has requested the COM
mission to make another appointment
and states if the same is not made he
will bring proceedings 70 oust Elges
from his Office.

The bills for the recent street work

STRIKE;

Communication by telegraph is at
standstill in this country today.
Every city of Importance is cut off
from the outside world as completely
as though there was no such thing
as telegraph wire. Some little COM
munication is being carried on over
the long distance telephone wires but
this service is practically worthless
except from what may be obtained
from the one place at the opposite
end of the line.
The Reno Journal of this morning
presents probably the best report of
the news of the world of any paper
in this section of the country. They
report was obtained mostly from the
long distance telephone anu they
covered the principal cities of the
coast. From every part came the
news that everything was tied up
and that the telegraph Offices we're de-
serted. So far the end of the strike
is not in sight. Reports say the
Order if Railway Telegraphers are
ready to 60 out with the other oper-
ators, and thereby tying up the rail-
roads of the country. If this should
be the case commerce will be at a
standstill and the result would be i'm
possible to estimate.
The union men in the Reno Office
walked out at 5 o'clock last evening.
Seven Of the people employed there
who are not members of the union re.
fused to leave their desks when the
news came for the men to go out.
