HOW SHIELDS
WAS ROBBED
The Reno Journal says:


G. O. Shields OF national reputation
as President of the League of Ameri
| can SpOrtSmen, editor OF Shield; :;
Magazine and writer, for Golfers
! Weekly and other well known publi-
cations, and lecturer, was in Reno
yesterday on his way from Carson
! City to San Francisco
Shields was prevented from con
tinuing his journey by the loss of his
suit case at the Southern Pacific de-
| pot Sunday night, as he stepped from
the V. and T train to the ticket win
dow for the purpose of securing a
ticket for No. % for the West which
was about to arrive.
While his attention was diverted
to the window thief helped himself
to Shields suitcase resting upon the
floor but a few feet distant, and eS-
capped with it out of the rear door.
someone, it is said, called a police
mans attention to the departing
thief, but the latter disappeared in
the darkness while the two were dis
cussing the probability of it being a
thievery.
The particular loss sustained by
Shields was in the contents, the suit
case being filled with valuable photo
graphs upon glass in the form of
stereopticOn lantern slides, represent
ing wild animals, used -Dy him in his
lectures. Money cannot replace
many of them. Shields regarded the
loss of these slides as great to him
and yesterday morning reported the
matter to the police. AS they will
prove OF little or no practical use to
the bold thief, it is believed that the
Photographs will be located at some
place where the stranger will cast
them aside.
He had just lectured for the Kings
Daughters Of Carson City on THE
big game of the Rocky Mountains"
using, as usual his slides for illus
tration. He has been absent in the
tar West from his home in New York
for about a month past, lecturing at
the invitation Of David Starr Jordan
of Stanford University. he nad only
partly concluded his lecture engage
ment when this unfortunate occur
renee was experienced in Reno.

DOGS, REDLIGHTS AND
ESHOLDTRUSTEES

The Board Of Aldermen held a
meeting last evening that was a little
out of routine.
First of ali came in a petition sign
ed by some twenty or thirty taXpay
ers setting forth and alleging that the
city is overstocked on dogs. 1t was
stated that these dogs. in direct dis
regard of me ordinance fOrbidding
riots or other illegal gatherings on
the streets of Carson City. cOngre-
gate each evening in various portions
of the city. and there discuss in un-
necessarily loud tones. various mat
ters of no interest to the citizens
thereof. That their language is un-
fit for publication and therefore dis
turbs and annoys such citizens
hours of midnight and morning. All
OF which is set forth as being con
trary to the peace and dignity Of the
City of Carson and the ordinances
tor such cases made and provided.
The City Marshal was called be
fore the board and stated that at the
last census there We're 1900 CANNES
residing within the city, limits. OF
this number something less than 100
had been licensed to disturb the
peace. He wanted to know what he
should do with the other 100. He
was instructed tnat it was the sense
of the board that the tag law should
be rigidly enforced this season. as il
has never been before; that all dogs
not wearing tags should be killed
wherever found. 1t was represented
that such notices to dog owners naV1
been made every year since the mem
DRY of man. but that on this OCCas-
sion it should be actually done. This
brought up the financial side of the
question and it developed that it will
likely cost the city several hundred
dollars to carry out the orders OF
the board. but it was agreed to spend
the money. Some husky citizen who
does not desire to run for office. can
probably get the job of dog killing,
which under the law will begin the
LIST day of June.
A communication was received
from the Carson City Promotion AS,
sociation asking the board to take
action to move the red light district
to some other portion of the city,
alleging that the vresent location ser
iOusly affected property value in
portion of town which would other
