From the Sketch
Stammering arises from weak nerve in
the brain. Strengthen that nerve and the
stammerer is cured. But II so happens
that this particular nerve Is never weak
In the case OF people who are mean or
hard, or utterly selfish.
II do not pretend to say that only SIAM

Owing to the slow arrival OF some

the carnival will not take place until
about September 10th, which fact will
give more time for preparations to

matter in hand. Every business man
in town is standing in one the propo-

Pays Big
Price for Ranch

One of the most notable real estate
transactions ever to take place in
Carson Valley was consummated this
week when Assemblyman Hussman
purchased Andrew Hansen's farm and
paid him the sum of $4,000 for his
holdings. The sale includes every
thing connected with the farm such
as horses, wagons, farming machinery
as we'll as this years crop.
The ranch embraces 100 acres OF
the best land in the Valley and is
centrally located. J. c. Larson cary
ed this farm from a barren strip of
land and after he had succeeded in
his accomplishment, sold it six or
eight years ago for $4,000 which was
at that time good price. Real
estate started to advance in valuation
and two years later Mr.. Hansen paid
$4,000 for the place. Steadily has
it's valuation increased and Mr.. Huss
man, a shrewd business man OF ex
cellent Judgement, knows the value ol
the property he has just acquired.
Mr. Hansen sold the ranch because
of the continued illness of his wife
and will shortly leave for Europe
where she will receive medical treat

will be held here for the murder
Sheriff Owens departed Immediately

OF the shooting and the case will come

Emerson now tells a different story
than the one he told at the c0r0ners
inquest held after the shooting. He
now claims that La Fleur stabbed him
in the back and that he killed him in
self defense. This late story is not
believed by the officers and it is un-
derstOOd that witnesses who will al
rive with Sheriff Owens today from
Atwood will testify to an entirely diff
ferent story. One of the witnesses
was deputy sheriff and he also will
state that in his opinion the murder
was unnecessary. Emerson is a dep
uty sheriff and it is believed was un
der the influence of liquor when he
committed the crime.

WAS WELL FIXED

Henry Evans, colored, who died in
his cabin at Pine Nut from starvation
last fall has been found to be the
owner of a large acreage of timber
land in the Pine Nut hills. The land
was taken under the control of the
public administrator of Douglas
county and this week was sold for
$1,000 This money will be used to
reimburse the county for the expe,l,es
incidental to his funeral and the rest
will be turned into the state treasury

to death rather than part with this
piece of property which was useless
to him unless he sold it.

they went to Lake Tahoe.

COUP DE FINANCE.

A brilliant coup de finance "a la
New York was recently brought to
light and here's how it was done:
The Wall, and Courtlandt Street
Ferry Railway company had fran
chise for cross-town street railroad
in New York, but the use of the fran
chise was blocked by an injunction
Mr.. Brady, being in possession, Of
fered to sell out to the Metropolitan
Street Railway company for $25o,ooo
But the late William C. Whitney,
then in control of the Metropolitan,
arranged that his road should pay
$965,6o7 for the property, Of which
Mr.. Brady was to receive his $780,
900, while the remainder, $715,6o7,
was to be divided equally between
Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, Thomas
Dolan,' P. A. B. Widener, William L.
Elkins and the brokerage firm of
Moore & Schley.
In other words, Whitney deliber-
ately stole about half million of
dollars from the stockholders of his
own company and divided the loot
among his pals. Perhaps Judge
Brewer can calculate how many
chickens and watermelons each of
the gang could have bought with his
"divvy."
