Merchants Suffer Much Delay and In
convenience Because of the Pilfer-'
ing and Thieving of Freight
Stolen from One Shipment.
Tota

These are the losses in transit on a
shipment received by the Peoples
store this morning. The goods while
being unpacked at the store today
showed the effects of having been
handled by thieves. Boxes are in
discriminatory opened and sacks were
cut, while articles and goods of all
description as enumerated above were
removed. One case in particular was
quite ludicrous, and even caused the
manager of the store, A. M. Latta, to
laugh in spite of his anger. The
thieves had opened case of oysters
and had removed the top layer of
cans, and carefully removing the con
tents, had replaced the cans in the
box in regular order, open side down,
and nailed up the box.
The top of a sardine case had oeen
removed and dozen can stolen
Some of this thieving was done
while the goods were at the depot in
Winnemucca. The shipment came in
and was unloaded yesterday and at
that time was checked by one of the
clerks at the Peoples store. No ap-
parent damage to the goods was evil
dent at that time, but this morning
they were found to have been broken
into
Claims for losses of this kind are
paid by the railroad company, but
the merchants are caused much incon-
venience by the depredations. The
company is making every effort to
detect and prosecute the persons en-
gagged in the business, and some day
there will be startling denouement,
when an organized band of freight
thieves are brought to justice. The
company has a score or more of spe-
cial detectives along its line from Og
den to Sparks, but these have not met
with much success so far in locating

The pretty little station of Hum
boldt House, 40 miles southwest of

little joke on the railroad company

Testing for Sand and Gravel

A sand and gravel digging machine be-
longing to one Of the local and-dredging
companies is lying on the Virginia side
of the Georgetown channel below the new
railway bridge making tests, it is stated.
for sand and gravel beds which are known
TO exist along the Virginia channel and
which the sand men expect to find in
quantities that will pay for digging it.
Several years ago most Of the sand and
gravel used in construction work in this
city was obtained from the beds in the
river above the old Long bridge. These
beds were finally exhausted and beds were
worked further down the river In re-
cent years all the supply near home has
been exhausted and the digging machines
have had to go from ten to twenty miles
below this city in order to find beds large
enough to pay for working This has
necessitated a long tow In order to bring
the produce to market. and it is said
that the tests now being made at the
bridge are for the purpose of locating
good sand nearer home. In the summer
