MEXICAN CAUGHT
BY OFFICER

VIII Park, constable at Sheri-
dan, captured a Mexican named
Gesaus Par pedling Joy fluid to
an Indian lest week and as a re-
suit the county Jail at Genoa con-
tains lonesome prisoner. The
Sheridan officer has suspected the
Mexican but was unable to catch
him in the act until one evening
when he was ordering an Indian
out of town the redskin informed
the officer that he was waiting for
bottle of whiskey. Suddenly
form loomed up in the darkness
and the officer was an unobserved
witness to the unlawful transaction
and at the proper moment took
his man into camp. The case a.
gainst the Mexican is a clear one
and he will undoubtedly be com
mitted TO the State prison for a
term of years because of his
whiskey selling proclivities.

WHEAT STORY
A BIG FAKE

Lust week we published an
article describing wonderful kind
Of WHEAT. Learning that several
people wrote to the party who had
the wh-at for sale We publish the
following which proves the wheat
story, first appearing the Saturday
Evening Post, "a fake pure and
simple.
The wheat exploited in the cur
rent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post as producing more than l2OO
bushels an acre Is nothing more
than what is known as the Egypt
ian, seven headed or mummy
whrai, according To the informa-
ton given out by the Colorado ex-
pertinent station and published in
th- Kansas Farmer.
The wheat is soft spring wheat
aud is undesirable for milling,
,ays the Farmer, and it is not Il
good crop wherever there is any
wind, as the grain blows out OF The
head very easily. The Kansas
Farmer WAS one of the papers To
which the same article that APP
pears in the Post was sent, and
turned down as mature fake"
The wheat is being offered at
$500 u pound. or $500 a bushel
and the Farmer warns its readers
not to be taken in by the story.
Prof. A. NJ. ren-yek OF the Kansas
Agricultural college experiment
station asked for some of the whea I
to lie used on the experiment sta
ton farm, but it was refused say
iLg that further experiments were
not necessary, as the worth oi the

ANTHRAX MAKES
ITS APPEARANCE
IN SMITH VALLEY

Anthrax, the most dreaded
disease known to stockmen, has
broken out among the cattle in
Smith Valley and a large number
have died from the ravages of the
disease. John O'Banion, one of
the well known farmers of that
Valley, has lost 26 head of stock
within the past two week; Wm.
Fulstone has lost 20 head and
other farmers of that location have
suffered losses. Everything is be-
ing done to prevent the spread Of
disease by administering the ac-
costomed vaccination.
Anthrax is as fatal as blackleg
and at different times during the
past few years has broken out a.
mong the cattle in the territory
south of here.

Will Reading of Wellington was
in Gardnerville Tuesday on his
way to Carson and Reno for the
purpose of completing the final
details of organizing stock COM
pany that will start active opera

different parts of the country are
arriving daily. Ground is still be-
ing located and if the first we'll

UNTIMELY END
OF YOUNG BOY

Last Tuesday morning Clarence,
the l2-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. Jepsen passed away.
Just as the young soul winged its
way to eternal rest, the little arms
We're out-siretched and word of
mamma died on the youngsters
lips.
The little lad had been in i'll
health for the past year. Some
three months ago his condition
grew alarmingly worse and the
child was taken TO Oakland. He
was announced to be suffering
with dropsy with no possible
chance OF recovery. The physi-
clans gave the little fellow three
months to live. He was brought
home and everything was done TO
make his last days as pleasant "a
possible. A deep affection sprung
up between the boy and mother
and for weeks before the end he
was not content unless he was
at his mothers side. The lad was
up and around until two days be.
fore his death and was perfect
coneious of his condition.
The parents, as well as the
brother and sisters are heart brok-
EN- over the unit imely death Of
their loved one and the sincere
sympathy Of the entire community
is with the Jepsen family in their
deep bereavement.
The funeral services were held
from the Lutheran church yester-
day and were largely attended.
Rev. Menzel spoke in words OF
tenderest sympathy and comfort,
of deepest Christian hope and
promise. Four OF his classmates
acted as pail-bearers. Amid tears
and sorrow the little form was
laid To rest in the Garden cemetery.

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-06-05
FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1908.

The Shoshone journal, which,
by the way, is one of the bright
est and best papers among our
exchanges, has found a new cpl
tibet for the boss of the Idaho
democrats, when it calls former
Senator Dubois "a political po-
lygamist, with an eye to a new
charmer before he tired of the
old" 1t is quite appropriate,
because while consorting with
the republicans he began a liason
with the silver republicans, then
went over to the democratic par
ty, and while consorting with it,
has his eye on the charms and
prospects of the new Utah Ameri-
can party which he is now court
ing with the same virile vigor
which has distinguished his rela-
tions with all the other parties.
If this is not political polygamy,
what better name could one be-
stow on the pretended guardian
of the purity of American homes.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-06-05

Now is the season when we hear
from the oratorical schoolboys
and the sweet girl graduates.
Nugget acknowledges receipts of
invitations from schools in Ida
no, in which Owyhee people are
interested by reason of the at
tendance of Owyhee bright girls
and boys. Foremost among
these educational institutions
may be named the University of
Idaho, which a number of Silver
City boys are attending, both in
the preparatory department and
in more advanced classes. We
hope to hear flattering reports
from them all. The boys will all
be coming home within a short
time and we shall expect to see
all of them more manly and bet
ter equipped than when they left
home. Ii any of them do not
show an Improvement, what will
be the mention to their parents
to continue them in school?

AS TO SILVER CITY MAILS.

1t is now quite evident that
there will be no changein the i'm

mails will be carried between Sill
yer City and Murphy. The bids
received by the postal depart
ment for carrying the mails via
the Reynolds route were so much
higher than the present contract,
that the department has declined
to consider them and will let the
present contract stand probably
until it expires.
