LAKE TAHOE
LITIGATION

l.. II. Taylor of the government
reclamation service has given out
that the trouble between the land
owners bordering on Lake Tahoe,
by whom the reclamation service
was restrained from constructing a
dam at the lake to conserve the
waters during the winter months
fer in the summer time when the
Truckee was al its lowest, had been
amicably settled, and that the Zee
lamation service would now pro-
ceed 10 the completion of that im-
portant project.
We learn from the Plaeerville
Republican that the suit OF +. J.
Baldwin against the people who
are damming the outlet OF the
lake and thus making variations
in its shore line by which, it Is
claimed, very serious damage has
been aud will be inflicted upon the
Tallac props rty which Lucky Bald
win owns. The plaintiff wants
damages and an injunction against
further obstruction.
Ex-Justice c. II. Gurroulie of
the Supreme Court appeared for
Baldwin and tho defendants were
represented by Goodfellow ~ Els
OF san Francisco. The only pro-
cedure AT this time was a motion
by the plaintiff to strike out some
parts OF the answer filed by defen-
dant and the argument is ordered
made by briefs.

Indian SkidoO.

The Indian Skidoo does not ring
tonight, principally because the
officer, whose duty it has been for
the past few months, to toll forth
the chimes that are so disliked to
the Washoe Indian, has been
placed on the retired list for few
months while the special police
fund again assumes proportions
large enough to pay his monthly
salary. The Indian who dislikes
to leave the enchantment OF night
in Gardnerville, now laughs up his
sleeve and thinks that our police
mans logic is knocked as full of
holes as window screen.
The rule of ringing the fire bell
at dusk as a signal for the Indians
to leave town was ordered some
months ago by the grand jury and
as q result there has been very few
drunken red men since that time,
especially in Gardneryille. How
ever, it will be but short time be-
for the special policeman will re-
sumo his duties and the bell will
again toll forth the time for the
Indian to skidoo.

OIL Excitement
Continues
Land is Being Grabbed and Five
Additional Rigs Will Soon Be
on the Ground.

Encouraging reports continue to
come from Mono Lake and since
the strike OF the Western Company
many acres of land in that vicinity
have been taken up. The an.
nouncement that the Western
Company will soon have five addi-
tional oil rigs shipped to the Lake
has caused considerable furry and
it is understood that arrangement.
with different teams to haul the
heavy machinery from Minden to
the Lake are now being made. II
is not proposed to wait until sum-
mer comes to ship the needed ma
chinery to the ground, but will
commence within the very near
future.
All travel to the new oil fields
will pass through this Valley, it
being the natural gateway to that
section, and if everything is as
true as reported, the hotels of Gard
nerville as well as the stations :
long the road will experience one
OF the buiest seasons yet had.

company are well known business

This property consists OF two full

ion Of others whom he has told the
story that the face of the prairie
might haze been so changed since
that time that this would be an inn
possibility. lie has no records which
would help him fix the date of his
mothers death, by comparison with
other dates, he has pretty well es-
tabished the time as in the fall Of
1855 lie. apd his twin brother were
at that time barely six years old and
while his memory of conditions and
places must necessarily be vague and
ineXact, the death OF their mother
and her burial on the prairie left
such vivid pictures In his mind that,
IL seems as clear to him, as he ex-
pressed II, "as II 1t was only yester-
day" He will not make any further
effort now to locate the grave Of his
mother.

how" he says, "and she's resting
now, I'll go and get my father, He's
living and | can do him some good"
Many OF the other details OF the
story which Toupffer told OF his
father and OF his life here as a child
on the frontier, may be explained as
is his account OF his mothers burial
As a child his memory would not
be definite regarding numbers and
dates, As he and his brother left
here and went to other relatives
shortly after the death of their moth
err, they never learned anything be-
yond their recolloctons Of their early

.FORGER CAUGHT
WITH The GOOD
(From Fridays DailyD


An investigation by o. NJ. Saylor
of the Saylor & Kendall store, and
prompt acton on the part OF men at
the First National Bank of Officer
Keeton landed a would-be forger in
the county jail yesterday and per-
haps saved Amarillo merchants from
the loss of a good many dollars.
Late yesterday afternoon a young
fellow who gave his name as G.. G.
Glover, applied at the Saylor & Ken
dali store with a check for $40.
drawn in his favor on the First Ma
tional bank by +. l., Davidson, which
he wanted cashed. The clerk who
attended him took the check TO o. NJ.
Saylor who told the man that the
signature would have to be verified
by the bank before the store would
cash the check. Glover consented
to this and Mr.. Saylor went with the
check to the First National bank.
Here on comparison several sight diff
ferences were discovered between
Glover's check and other Davidson
checks at the bank.
One check drawn by Davidson had
been paid the day before. These
differences lead the bank officials to
summon an officer.
On their return to the store Mr..
Saylor and Officer eKeton demanded
a full explanation of the mans deal
ings with Davidson His explains
ton strengthened the case against
him and they asked him to go back
to the bank with them. On the way
back Glover tried to destroy some
papers he had in his pocket but the
officer succeeded n getting them out
of his hands and these proved to be
four more checks drawn by Davidson
for various amounts in favor of Clio
yer and H. L. Mohn. Glover, or
Mohn, offered as explanation that
he had been employed at the David
son ranch for several days and that
when he left a man named Mohn had
taken his place, that Mohn had
bought saddle from him and had
paid him through Davidson by the
use OF the Davidson checks. Fur
Their explanations left much to be
cleared away and Officer Keeton put
the man under arrest and placed him
in Jail to await examination.

KAISER PLANS
SPRING VACATION

Berlin, March 20.-Emperor Will
liam will probably leave Berlin for
his magnificent new villa on the Is
land Of Corfu tomorrow, although it
has been rumored that his departure
may be delayed by affairs of state
until early next week. An official
note states that the kaiser will meet
King Victor Emanuel at Venice in
the course OF his Mediterranean
cruise, and that later he will visit
Emperor Joseph Francis at Vienna.
The report from Constantnople that
the sultan OF Turkey will send an
extraordinary embassy to Corfu to
meet the kaiser is denied here. The
villa at Corfu was purchased by the
emperor last year and is one OF his
most magnificent estates.
Emperor William will board the
imperial yacht Hohenvollern at &C.
noa and proceed to Ionian waters
under the escort of the cruiser
Scharnhorst and the dispacht boat
Sleipner.
The travelling party probably will
include Prince Fuerstenberg, whom
the emperor has drawn closely to
him since Prince gu Gutenberg was
exiled from court. For a long time
the emperor has relied on the advice
of Prince Fuerstenberg, but espe-
cially so last winter.
