INSANE MAN
THREATENS JUDGE
BEAN RECEIVES LETTER
FROM INSANE PATIENT
l.. S. Robinson, Coloret, and Known
as "Six shooter Bill" Intlmates
That He VIII Follow In Tracey's
Footsteps to Secure Revenge for
Imaginary Grievances-Was Com
mlsted from Here.

Yelling his threats with all the
cunning OF the crimlnally insane, L.
S. Robinson, u patient in the state
hospital at Salem, has written a let
ter to Judge Bean in which he re-
calls the bandit Tracy and implies
similar vengeance If the judge docs
not quit hammering him."
Robinson, who was known here al
SO as "Six Shooter Bill" Is a negro
who came down from Weston about
a year ago laboring under the delu-
sion that some one was after" him.
He was arrested by Marshal Gurdane
after having fired at shot at an Inn
aginary enemy in the street. and after
serving a SO-day sentence imposed by
Judge Bean for carrying concealed
weapons he was sent to the asylum
after examination by DR.. Cole before
Judge Gilliland.
The negro's letter makes several
references to those who are ham
mering" him and declares that the
only thing against him is his black
color 1t is ingeniously written and
carefully worded. Robinson in some
manner managed to slip 1t to a con-
federate who mailed 1t from Port
land.
Recalls Bandit Tracey.
Robinson says: You have ham,
mered me for IL months now, and
the only flaw l have is my black
skin. | Just want to call your atten-
tion to Harry Tracey When he had
20 years hanging over him he was
lower than any beast on earth. By
the laws of Oregon he was horsewhip-
ped and punished. Those over him
were heartless and thought he would
never have freedom again, but as
soon as he had freedom again you
know there was never man who
could fill his place.
"Now, judge, l would like to ask
you in sociable, gentlemanly man
ner to stop hammering me with
'crlminality,' for you don't know any
thing at all about me.
"Now you know, judge, that | am
man, and being so can put up
with a whole lot, but this is going
little too far for me to stand.
Il have offered to leave the state
if | could get a discharge. but you
know, judge, tina this place is not
iron bound down here. II lightning
was to knock hole in the building
and | was to get out some people
would be in difficulty.
Yours,

THE COPPER
SITUATION

George l.. Walker, the eminent writer
on copper says:
General business conditions are i'm
proving; copper is in better demand
and higher; all the mining companies
are enjoying increased earnings and cop
pers are, as a rule, worth more than they
are selling for. The fact that these
stocks have had big advances since the
panic of year ago does not necessarily
mean that they are too high now. There
are a great many of the coppers which
should advance from rs to SO per cent
within six months or year.
The theory entertained by many that
there is too much copper, or going to be
too much copper produced is wrong.
AS a matter of fact there is scarcity OF
copper for three to FIVE years and then
a surplus for three to hve months.
Notwithstanding the rapid increase in
production the supply is failing to keep
up with the worlds growing consumpt-
i've demand. The only time there is too
much copper is when all the mines are
trying to produce their full capacity,
while some of the leading manufacturing
countries are suffering from business
panics and trade depressions. For illu-
stration, it was commonly believed a
wear ago that there was tremendous
surplus of copper in existence; and
though this country has barely begun to
emerge from the panic conditions, all
the surplus has been exhausted already,
and consumers are obliged to bid NJ
prices to supply their requirements
Two years ago there was copper
famine which sent the price up to q
cents per pound-to more tnan double
the cost of production. There is ne
reason to doubt that this condition
things may be repeated. Holders o
GOOD copper stocks should inform them
Selves on this subject, and should res
content that there will be market, a
prices which will Yield splendid profits
for all the copper the mines cai
produce.

THE POWER PLANT
BATTLES WITH ice

For the greater part of this week the
mines have been closed down for lack of
of electric power. Yerington has been
without lights and business houses and
residences have had to fall back OH coal
oil and candles. This state of affairs
was caused by the recent cold snap. At
the power generating plant of the
Truckee River General Electric Com
pany at Floriston, the fumes have frozen
up and slush ice gets into the pipes that
feed the turbine wheels which produce
the electric fluid. The power company
have men at work night and day trying
to keep the fumes open, but with poor
success. Now, conditions have changed,
the weather having become warmer and
it is expected that there will be mo
further trouble in regard to power

.YER|NCTONPLACE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The petition for the location of the
new High School at Yerington has been
signed by enough electors to cause the
call for an election to be made and yet
the signing is going on. The people of
the county intend to have enough sign
ers to avoid all quibbles and cavils.
The people of Lyon county know that
this question will never be settled until
it is settled right.
They know that when they voted for
a High School that Yerington was un-
derstood as the place of its location.
They know that Yerington furnished
the start of the High school idea for the
county and furnished the spirit for the
the contest on election day.
They know that all the necessary ex-
penses of getting up the petition, print
ing ribbons, seeing that voters were in
structed properly, ETC., was borne by
Yerington.
They know that High School on the
desert will never be High School in
fact.
They know that to place High School
at any place but in a we'll settled COM
munity, is to throw the money away.
They know that to use the money
which should go to giving their children
higher education to promote lot sell
ing schemes is poor business and poorer
policy. 1t may sell some lots but it will
never educate the children.
They know that the efforts to give a
better education to our children is sim
cere. and will properly answer all "sore
heads, /" ''pin heads" or dope heads
at the coming special election.
They know that the Lyon county High
School is going to be located at the place
they intended, Yerington, by so EN-
phatic majority that there will be nc
more attempted johbing.
