WATCHMAN SHOOTS
AT COAL THIEVES

Special watchman Rich of the
Southern Pacific company took sew
eral shots Saturday night at three
men near the Pasquale lumber yards,
The men, probably hobos, were en-
deavoring to steal coal from car
on side-track, and were detected by
Rich who was stationed in the cupo-
la of caboose, attached to the coal
car. One Of the men had mounted the
coal car and was busily filling a sack
when Rich leaned ont Of the window
and shouted Halt" The coal steal
er was SO frightened that he fell off
the ear and when he struck the ground
he was running for cover. His two
companions also ran, and Mr.. Rich
took several pot shots as the men scat
tered rocks and earth in their preci-
pitous fight.

LOOKS LIKE CARDS
MUST GO

A telegram received. by Assembly
man Tom Tighe of Goldfeld from
William E. Erb, secretary Of the Mine
Owners association, is to the effect
that the operators will return an an
swer Sunday to the demand made by
members of theassembly, that the
operators Of Goldfield agree to
abolish the pernicious ''card
system before the assembly would
pass the police bill now being consid.
cred by that body. The bill has al
ready passed the senate unanimously.
The message was in answer to one sent
Mr.. Erb by Mr.. Tighe yesterday morn
ing which was signed by most of the
assemblymen. The message bore the
name of every Republican assembly
man that could be found about the
city and also large proportion Of the
democratic majority in the assembly.
The men signed the message not as
politicians, but as men seeking to do
justice to both sides.
There appears to be but little doubt
but that today the operators will send
message agreeing to abolish the sys-
tenn as soon as the police bill becomes
effective.
This will meet the approval of all.
The session will end this week, as
Saturday is the nineteenth day and
he minimum length of special ses-
sion is twenty days.
Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nye
county, who is one of the most heavily
interested mine opera -ors in the up
per house, does not believe the state
police bill will get through the as
sembly without opposition, unless the
Goldfeld Mine Operators association
committee abolishes the aeard sys
tenn
1t is unfortunate that the 'card
ystem' had to be resorted to. Noy
that the legislature has guaranteed
protection to the people of Goldfeld
and proved to the world that the state
government is capable of maintaining
peace, it is time to abolish it. | think
there is every reason to believe the
abolition of the system will be a
Eouneed by Monday

BURBANK Is ANGRY
AT THE GOVERNMENT
OfIicial Bulletin States that the Spine
less Cactus Is Not
Success.

Luther Burbank is said to be very
wroth over the publication of bulletin
issued by the government in which
it is alleged that the Santa Rosa wiz
ard overreached the mark when he an
nounced the production of a spineless
cactus. The work is entitled, "The
Tuna as Food for Man. and was
written by David Grifiins, who mana
ges to bear up under the job as as
sistant agrostologist to the Bureau of
Plant Industry The bulletin was is
sued only last month. The disquieting
paragraph follows:
"The general belief and hope that
the spineless cactus will some day re-
place her sister on the desert wastes
of California and Arizona furnish food
apd a substitute for water to the lost
prospector is doomed to disappoint-
ment. Experiments have shown that
the cultivated specimen is not able to
withstand the hardships of desert life.
1t is doubtful if science and cultiva-
tion will make the plant more accep-
tible tain the wild variety, as there
can be no way found to rid the plant
of the spines and spicules.
A company has been formed for the
purpose of growing the spineless cac-
tus and it is reported that it paid
a very large price for very small
box of the fruit. The government now
finds itself arrayed against a solid
phalanx composed of the cactus com
pany, Luther Burbank and the Carne-
gle Institute.
Leigh H. Irvine, revising editor for
Burbank says the latter has been in
the habit of serving spineless cactus
banquets, and that many Of his friends
are prepared to attest to the fact that
they have sat down to the feasts Bur-
bank is said to be angry clear through
and his friends say the government
will have to eat its words, or a cactus
bearing. tull set of spines.
SANTA ROSA, January "a. - Lu-
ther Burbank saws it is foolishness to
say that his spineless cactus is not a
success, says the bulletin was issued
because the government experts were
piqued that he had beat them five
years in the development of the cac-
tus. He also says the cactus is too
valuable to have so far been given q
thorough test and says it is perfect,
nonsense to talk about it not thriving.
The Spineless Cactus company, or
ganized under the laws Of the State
of Arizona and capitalized at $780,
600, purchased the California rights.
and is testing plants on the desert at
Indio. 1t has FIVE varieties and re-
ports to Burbank that the plants are
doing wonderfully well and that dur
ing the present winter they have made
a marvellous growth.
These plants are guarded by men
with shot guns and dogs and surround
ed by heavy barbed wire fences. These
plants will be put on the market next
The German consul at San
Francisco is negotiating at present
with Burbank to introduce the spine
less cactus into the German African
provinces. Burbank says the cactus
will produce twenty tons of fruit to
the acre after growth of two or
three years. Next year Burbank will
sell this fruit This year none of the
fruit was sold but each seed taken |
from the fruit was saved Burbank |
declares his spineless cactus is a |
dead-sure thing

SPARKS, January 25.-Thursday
morning more than 400 men in the
Southern Pacific shops in this City
were laid off and will not be given
employment again until the morning
of January 80. This was done in ac-
cordance with an order from the gene
raj Offices of the company, and the
reason given is that the company is
not doing enough business at present
to warrant the employment of so many
men.
1t is also stated that the officials
