Not Our Fault

Woodfords and Markleeville We
desire To state to our readers who

due TO an error of this office. After
receiving numerous telephone in

FORMER TRAGEDY
IS REVIVED
By the Finding this Week Of the
Weapon that Joe Pete Used
In DastrrdIy Deed.

The circumstance OF the killing
of young William Dangberg, eldest
son of II. c. Dangherg v Joe Pete,
Washoe Indian in 1898, is re-
called by the finding this week of
revolver with which the dastardly
deed was done. MIR. Coleman. the
surveyor, in company with John
Dangberg last Monday, was doing
some field work in the vicinity of
the Twelve Mile ranch and while
looking for a section monument
somewhere south of the Dangberg
orchard came to an upturned slab
of granite, which, upon being turn
ed over, disclosed a white handled
bull dog revolver. Upon examin-
alton, the weapon was found to
contain three unexploded shells
and three empty ones and badly
rustsd evidence of having been a
long time exposed to the elements.
As Joe Pete fred three shots, once
at the young man whom he killed
and twice at an Indian and i'm
mediately ran from the scene of
his bloody work in the direction of
where the gun was found, together
with the fact that the weapon of
destruction was never afterwards
seen, the evidence seems conclusive
that this is the identical weapon.
Thus ends the last chapter OF the
most outrageous and lamentable
murder ever perpetrated in Carson
Valley.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
TO BE STARTED

From time TO time, during re-
cent years, the question has been
asked, "Why couldn't we shave
some plan by which the best re-
cent books, full of good entertain
ment or interesting enlightment,
might come to Gardnerville, for
the benefit of the whole public of
Carson Valley desirous of helping
the success of such plan?"
During the last six months,
scarcely day has passed that
some caller at the Record Courier
office has remarked, "Sayl have
you good book of any kind
which you can lend me for few
days?"
Such occurances as these indi-
cate that if good books could be
obtained by the people of Gard
nervills, it might be possible, after
a while, TO estab blish small public
library at some central place, easi-
ly accessible at all times by every
body.
The Record Courier believes
that many of its readers will be
glad to hear all about q beginning
which has been made in this mat
ter, so that fine collection of
twenty-five books will arrive here
in few days, from Reno.
Librarian Lehman, of the uni
versity of Nevada, has taken a
great interest in the whole subject
and the twenty-five books which
are to be circulated here from the
office of the Record Courier, were
selected by him. The plan by
which this collection will become
public library is this.
Every three months a new set of
books will be sent by Librarian
Lehman to the Record Courier, and
everyone who is interested can
draw book as often as desired
By this plan one hundred new
books can be read during year.
The Record Courier believes this
starter for public library will be
welcomed by all as another indica-
tion that Gardnerville is steadily
progressing in those things which
go to make up wide-awake,
modern town.

CARSON Mint NAY
BE REOPENED

After being closed for coinage
purposes for period OF more than
II years the United States Mint at
Carson City, may be reopened
within the next few months says
the Reno Journal. During the
past three months Superintendent
Colcord, in charge of the mint has
received more gold than he can
possibly handle. In spite OF con-
slant shipments to San Francisco
and Denver the vaults are now
filled to Icapacity with gold. so
large is 1.-The amount that moi ce
has been sent from San Francisco
that another treasurer safe for
storing gold is to be shipped from
there. Because of these conditions
the authorities at Washington are
now making preparations to reopen
the mint for coinage purposes and
Congressman Bartlett will be
called upon to introduce bill
asking for an appropriation for the
purpose unless change is made
in the present plans.

DEATH OVERTAKES
UNFORTUNATE man

Teophifele Champagne, of Car
son City died at Reno Tuesday at
the state hospital after short ill
ness. He was well known at Car
son where he resided until a short
time ago. About Ia year ago his
son, Arthur Champagne, was found
in his room at the University
dead, with a pistol wound telling
the mute story of tragedy. The
father failed rapidly after that and
within a short time had to be taken
to the state hospital where he re-
mained until death, SAYS the News.
Two sons, William and Henry
Champagne of Genoa and one
daughter, Mrs. Allie Dake of Car
son, survive. The funeral services
were held at Carson yesterday
afternoon.

"BUCKAROO" JACK
FACES EXECUTION

Unless a stay of execution is
granted to Buckaroo Jack, the
Indian convicted of numbering his
wife's paramour, he will pay for his
crime with his life at the State
Prison on the 10th day of next
month.
Jack was an industrious farmer
living near Winnemucca with his
wife whom he discovered was un-
true to him. After listening to the
taunts of other members Of his
tribe and being called coward for
allowing another man to wreck his
home his savage hatred became a
reused and finding his wife in =
compromising position with the
man in question, he killed the
spoiler of his home. For this
crime he was sentenced to be hung,
says the Appeal. His attorneys
have stated that they will appeal
the case to the supreme court their
principal ground being that the
state courts have no jurisdiction
in the case, Jack being ward OF
the government reservation. They
will attempt to have the case
transferred to the U. S. Federal
Court.

Hard Time to Get School Trustees

The law abolishing the Office of
County Superintendent of Schools
makes it the duty Of the State Su-
psrintsndent Of Public Instruction
to appoint school trustees TO fll
vacancies. This duty was delegat.
ed to the Deputy Superintsrdents
during the illness Of Superientsnd-
ent Orvis Ring, but now that Mr..
Ring is again able to attend to his
official duties the authority of the
deputies in this matter has been re.
voked.
A large number Of the school dis
tricts in this part of the State have
been running with fewer than tho
required number Of trustees, and
appointments to fill the vacancies
are expected to be made SOM, in
order to fill tho Boards before the

new YEAR WILL
BRING ACTIVITY

We learn from Wm. Champagne
who is one OF the owners of the
Mccormick and Champagne lease
at Buckskin, that the entire hold
ings of the Kennedy Consolidated
Mining company of that place was
recently given most rigid and
thorough sampling by an engineer
for an eastern syndicate who holds
short bond on the property
at is slmost certain said Mr.
Champagne, "that the company
will take charge of the property
on or about the first of the year at
which time we expect to see a
general resumption IN mining in
our district. Several OF the COM
panies that ceased operations a
bout the time of the big copper
slump are preparing to resume
operations with the beginning of
the new year.
Mr.. Champagne is dlspleased
because Buckskin WAS found to be
in Lyon county instead of Douglas,
principally because the last eleec-
ton proved Buckskin to be solid
Democratic camp and with bright
prospects of changing the present
politics of this county, however, all
hopes are shattered now.

Good Mining Property.

A special writer in the Gold field
News has the following to say in
recent issue: Yet another rich
section OF mineral bearing ground
in the Litigation hill country has
passed from legal controversy into
the possession of the rival claim
ants and in one instance at least
that OF the Manhattan Earl con. :
pany-will be developed by the
said company AZ well as by lessee.
The dispute 50 recently settled by
conference at Tonopah had to do
with title to four acres located in
the very center of the golden buck
le of the pay belt and under the
terms of the adjustment the EaIl
and the Manhattan Union Mining
companies divide the ground
equally. w. 5. Johnson, recent y
appointed postmaster at Manhal
tan, represents the control of the
Earl, his associates being United
States Senator Nixon, George
Wingfield and others who are
making mining history in Nevada.
1t seems almost needless to ado
that these gentlemen will not per
nit the acreage TO remain dormant.
