 SERPENT IN NEVADA LAKE.
Two Men Affirm That They Have Seen
 the Reptile.

A report from Walker lake states that monster sea serpent has been seen at northern end of the lake. Dan Cornelison, a mining man of good rep utation for veracity, brought the story to Goldfield. Cornelison says that both he and a companion named John McCorry sighted the reptile while fish- ing from a boat half mile from the northern shore of the lake. The mon. ster was then making its way toward the east shore of the lake. Cornell son says that at first sight he took the serpent for man in a skin, and when It disappeared for moment he thought the boat had capsized, and rowed toward the spot, when 1t sud denly reappeared, giving them a good view of it's proportions. which they estimated to be about 30 feet in length and feet across the back. Another res dent of that vicinity. man named Peters, is said to have discovered the serpent sometime ago reposing in shallow water near the shore, and on oelng aroused it disappeared in deeper water There is also said to be a le- sead among the Flutes around Shurz concerning the existence of a serpent Tn Walker ake.-Sacramento Bee.

Why Is It?

The seats were in the orchestra, on the theater's left. 'The left side of the house always sells out first" said the box office man. Everybody seems to prefer it to the right. don't know why, Boxes, especially. We can sell two left to one right box every time. Nobody takes the right side for choice. And there is no reason for this. AS much goes on in the right extremity of the stage as in the left-we proprl' etors always look after that-and you see just as much from the right as from the left side. Why. then, is the left side always at a premium!

LIPsCoMB SUSPENDED.
Officer Who Was Recently Before the
Trial Board

Maj. Sylvester made recommendation to
the Commissioners this morning that Police
man j. B. Lipscomb, mounted officer in the
seventh precinct, be suspended from further
duty, without pay, after January 10. This
action by Maj. Sylvester, he says in his let
ter, is taken after an advisory opinion of
the corporation counsel. 1t is taken as a
definite indication of what action the trial
board contemplates in the case
Lipscomb was charged before the trial
board with the misuse of his revolver, re-
suting in the shooting Of Daniel Boyle on
the Conduit road last August. The bullet
entered Boyle's leg at the knee and he was
confined in the Georgetown University Hos
pital for several months with the injury
His leg it is stated, is still practically use-
less to him.
a charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon was filed against Lipscomb in the
Police Court some weeks ago, but the GRIM
inal action has never been disposed of. The
testimony before the trial board continued
for some time and the case finally went to
the three members Of the board for their
decision. That they will find against the
policeman is indicated by this action on
the part of Maj. Sylvester.
The testimony before the board showed
that Policeman Lipscomb thought that
Boyle was engaging in disorderly conduct
gust and started to arrest him. The lat
ter ran through a field chasing his hat
and the officer drew his revolver. The
officer says he pulled his gun to frighten
Boyle not intending to shoot him. The
gun was discharged, whether accidentally
decide. and the bullet wound was the re-
suit

cept by authority of the sealer of weights

NO NEWS OF PONCE
REPORTS OF WIRELESS MESSAGES
ARE NOW DISCRED1TED.

NEW YORK, January 1O.-No news of
the missing steamer Ponce. from Porto
Rico, had been received today. Reports
Of wireless messages supposed to have
come from the Ponce are discredited by
the fact that the steamer carried no wire
less apparatus. The hopes of the officers
of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship
Company were fixed today upon the con-
tinued failure of the steamer Maracas to
arrive from Trinidad. For the present, at
least, or until that steamer arrives, the Of
that the Maracas has found the missing
process that might be attended with long
delays. The Maracas is smaller ship by
515 tons than the Ponce, and her progress,
even If all went well, in towing the Ponce
to New York would be comparatively slow.
The Maracas carried twelve passengers and
company of forty officers and men.
Derelict Found.
dismasted derelict has been sighted at
sea within forty miles of the spot where
the Ponce was last sighted, December 2S
derelct lies either in or close to the path
which the Ponce must have been pursuing
when she sighted by the Shenandoah
Information of the location of the dere-
lict was received by Lieut.. Hunt at the
United States photographic office In this
city today in a message from Gov. Beck
man Winthrop of l orto Rico.
Lieut.. Hunt said he did not believe the
derelict could be that of the Ponce,
cording to Gov. Winthrop's dispatch the
derelict is only $50 feet long, while the
Ponce is 511 feet long.
