Indian Arrested for Theft

George Williams, an Indian, has been
taken into custody charged with the
theft of horse from the corral of n.
Poll on the East Walker, saddle from
Budd Daniels aud bicycle from Barney
Fiegenspan.
Saturday night last horse was stolen
from Mr. Poll and the local officers put
on the trail of the thief. Sunday last
the horse was found in the possession
of the Indian as we'll as the saddle. The
redskin was brought to Yerington and
lodged in the city bastile.
The saddle had been missing since
July 3 and the bicycle was reported
stolen even before that. AS the horse
stealing took place in Esmeralda county,
the Indian will be taken to Goldfeld,
the county seat, for trial.

Another Strike Reported

Word reached Yerington early this
week of another big strike on the Walker
Lake Syndicate company's property near
Reservation hill. The exact extent of
the strike could not be ascertained def
nitely, but it is understood to be of even
greater proportions than the one report
ed last week in the columns of this paper
Shipments of high-grade copper ore
have already gone forward from this
property, and if the strike reported is of
greater value than those heretofore
made, it must be immense.

Fencing Government Land

Special agents for the government have
been doing work in Carson sink looking
over the territory to ascertain whether
any public lands had been fenced by
cattlemen. According to report the
agents found in several instances that
large areas of land had been fenced and
that public lands were claimed by cattle
men and others in that section.
In addition to the government order
ing all fences torn down it is claimed
that federal grand jury may be called
for the purpose of investigating the mat
ter and probably indicting the offenders.
The investigation may extend to other
parts of the State.
