cupied by the Nevada Transfer Com

was so successful that So of the i'm
prisoned animals were saved. A horse

Some Of the men employed in the
barn said that during the day they
heard cracking in the timbers, but they

LAND GRABBERS BEATEN AGAIN
President Roosevelt FOrestalls Act
Limiting Executive Authority


Limiting Executive Authority
Washington, M h 4.-President
Roosevelt has stirred up a hornets nest
among the western Senators by prac-
tically negativing eAct for bidding the
creation of any more forest reserves in
certain western States except by the
consent of Congress.
The Senators were indignant tonight
when they heard that the President had
reserved about all the available timber
in the States named by proclamation in
the usual form, after which he pro-
ceeded to approve the Agricultural APP
preparation bill. which contained the
limitation upon executive authority.
1t was the verdict of these Senators
who would discuss the Presidents
action that there would be such an up
rising of the people of the West against
the last order of the President that he
would be forced to rescind it.

ing while in custody of Deputy Sheriff
William Ebert, in Ebert's saloon,
Tippie made an excuse TO go outside for
a moment, and failed t. return.
