NEVADA BOY SAVES SEVEN LIVES
Latest Achievement Is to Drag Com
paniOn From Carson River


Carson, Nevada, April 81. - John
Grove. the Brunswick boy. who shot
his father in self-defense and to save
the lives of all the members of the
family few weeks ago. saved the life
OF Arthur Wizard in the Carson river.
Grove jumped into the turbulent
waters when he saw Wizard fall from
the improvised ferry and dragged the
body to shore. Wizard was soon re-
suscitAted. People in Carson City
laud Grove as one of the greatest
heroes in the State for the brave deed.
Seven lives have been saved by John
Grove in the last four years. He has
been present, it seems. every time any
one has fallen in the river, and with
unusual daring he has plunged into the
stream to give aid to the drowning.
The people of the capital town pre-
sented the boy, for he is only II years
of age, with a medal for his heroism.
Wizard. who is employed at the
Chedic butcher shop in Carson, was
crossing the river when he slipped in.
to the water. The current was swift.
and those who heard of the accident
say but for the presence of the daring
boy on shore Wizard would now be dead.
The act was a repetition of similar
deeds performed when the river was at
food few weeks ago.

Regulation of Crazing
"The grazing Of stock will be SO reg
ulated as to protect from overRrszing
the watersheds from which Is derived
water for irrigation and domestic pur-
poses. Local stock will be given pref
erence in the granting Of permits and
rights to range, gained by continued
use, will be fully recognized. These for
ests, together with the Toiyabe, which
was created by proclamation Of the
President. signed March 1. 1907. will
be put under administration during the
coming season, but no fees will be
charged for grazing permits before the
season of 1908. Iteis expected that all
three forests will be administered from
Austin as headquarters. Local men
will be appointed rangers wherever
possible. The protection Of the Toiy-
abe Forest from overgrazing is Of es-
pecial importance since from this
range, which is truly the backbone OF
Nevada, drain the waters used for the
irrigation of the fertile, but the arid

The Forest Service has issued bulle-
tin regarding reserves in Nevada.
After referring to the Presidents ac-
ton April 15sh, in signing the procla-
nations creating the Toquima and
Monitor National Forests in Central
Nevada, the bulletin proceeds:
"These forests embrace the Toquima
and Monitor ranges Of mountains in the
northern portions of Nye County and
the southern portions of Lander and
Eureka Counties. These ranges lie
southeast from Austin and northeast
from Tonopah. The area of the To-
quima Forest is 36S,OO0 acres and Of
the Monitor 57S. 760 acres. The famous
gold camps. Manhattan and East Man

Of the Toquima Forest. Round Noun

National Forests are covered with ju-

so regulate the cutting of timber as to
guard against the waste of this inesti-
mable resource, and thus guarantee a
perpetual supply of timber for use in

cules is out piece of his bankroll.
Darcy's loss was ss63 in coin and o
check for $1,000, which was cashed and
soon melted away under the uneven
odds imposed by the crooked dice.
After losing the last of the $1,000 in
heavy plunges in trying to play even.
Darcy became suspicious, and upon q
close examination Of the dice found the
cause OF his ill-luck.
He showed the dice to several people
who witnessed the game and promptly
swore out warrant for the arrest Of
the gamesters and stopped payment OF
the check at the bank. The two men
were taken to Fellon. 1t is now
thought they have been running a
crooked game in Wonder for some time,
although no one had lost very large
sums and become suspicious. The
gamekeepers have been spending money
freely from their gains over the green
cloth.
