NOT BECAUSE OF
MONEY MARKET

The delinquent tax list Dou. las
county for this year will be found
on page three of this issue and is
larger than it has been for many
years. However, it is not because
of the present financial conditions
preventing certain taxpayers from
raising the hard cash as was re-
quired, but was brought about by
the dispute overIthe boundary line
between Douglas and Lyon county.
As was stated before in this paper,
the commissioner found that the
line had been definitely located by
an act of the legislature of 1903,
which fact throws most of the
Buckskin district in Lyon county,
and to which county the taxes have
been paid.

preferable to his company" and
ordered him from camp. Editor
Buck published sulphuric ac-
count of the affair and severely
criticized Burton's past. Burton got
to read the article and announced
that he intended to kill Buck and
according TO reports, started on his
man-hunt. He located the editor
at hotel in Nina AMI walking up
and down the sidewalk in front of
the hotel, told differnt ones to tell
Buck to come out. A few seconds
later Buck came around the build
