Gently graduated from the Eabiula

the Lintillac ranch on Tuesday TO
nurse Mrs Lintillac.
AS soon as possible, probably to-
morrow, Mrs Lintillac will be
brought to the hospital to have the
amputation of the other foot per
formed. 1t was thought advisable to
have the patient here, not only for
the convenience of the county operat-
ing room, hut also within easy dis.
tance of the attending physician. At
last accounts she was doing tiicely,
with both pulse and temperature hut
a tritle above normal. Strong hopes
are entertained that she will survive.
Mrs Lintilac, who was. beside the
assallant, the only witness of the
shooting, says that after the first
shot. when she lay helpless on the
ground, she said to the shooter in al
upbralding way, 'You should shoot
the other leg." Thereupcn Choalich
raised his gun and deliberately fred
the second time. Before leaving the
spot he took the precaution to take
out the shell from one of the barrels
and replace it with a loaded she'll,
and then walked away.
Mr. Lintillao was half a mile away
at the time. 1t is thought that Choa-
lich had been hanging about the
premises for some time, waiting until
satisfied that no one was about the
house beside Mrs Lintillac. Ihe

the company on Wednesday evening
last. The stockholders representing
the controlling interest, were present
from the outside, among them being
A. II. Carlyle, the president of the
Argonaut Consolidated, the holding
company of the Argonaut, also Jesse
W. Lillienthal, h. A. Stent, and j..

from the outside arrived from San

Central Eureka. The repair of the
shaft-or more properly speaking. the
reopening of the shaft-has reached
to within four hundred feet of the
bottom. Rapid headaway is being
made. The intention of the company
is to develop the mine at greater
depth, and they have every confidence
that it will again respond in liberal
dividends. The stock is selling at

the fact that at the $3.50 level fine
ore body exists both north and south
of the shaft, of large size, and all OF
milling value, portion of the ledge
being unusually rich. The mine is,
according to current reports, yielding
up to the standard of bygone bonanza
days, and the outlook is as bright as
at any time In the past.

on a small scale. by W. b, Shaub and

SHEEP MEN WIN
A BIG VICTORY,
Appellate Court Knocks out LaSsen
County Tax on Sheep Grazing.

The revenue of Lassen county is
dealt severe blow in the decision
handed down to-day by the district
court of appeal of the third appellate
district in granting the writ of habeas
corpus sought by l.. l.. Mccoy, a
sheep p-raser of Red Bluff, who made
a test case of the Lassen county
ordinance charging license tax of 5
cents a head on sheep and lambs
grazed In that county.
In closing the lengthy opinion, pre-
siding justice Chipman says: "The
ordinance Is unreasonable and was
adopted for the purpose of raising
revenue and was uot intended to be.
and is not. an ordinance adopted for
regula ion only, and Is therefore
void" t..r
The court also declares that license
taxes on lambs is burdensome, oppres
1ive and unreasonable and. is a vio-
Iation of an act of the legislature of
FeDruary 70, l9U0.
1t is pointed out in the opinion
that the assessment roll of Lassen
county amounted to Sc, 600, QUO last
year. Ihe general fund received
S25, 600 In taxes while the road fund
obtained about s24, 200. The license
on sheep with an assessed valuation
of $500, 900 amounts to more than
one-half of the general fund or road
fund derived from the property tax
with more than ten times the assessed
valuation of sheep. says the opinion.
The appellate court decision is
looked upon as victory for the
sheep men who have had trouble
with county boards OF supervisors
charging licenses for grazing sheep.
Last August MoCoy permitted HIM
self to be arrested for violating the
county ordinance which imposed the
Scent head license on sheep and
lambs raised or grazed in the county.
He was released on 500 bail and
Immediately began testing the case,
finally appearing before the appellate
court asking for writ OF habeas
corpus.
The sheepman complain and the
appellate justices agree with them,
that sheep are taxed a property tax
and grazing license in Lassen county
and a license again In Plumas or
Modoc counties, where they probably
Craze for few months in the year.

half of which is spent on county
roads, which, it is held, are damaged
by sheep travelling from one range to
another. The justices declare that 90
per cent of the sheep pastured and
taxed in Lassen county must take

to keep Bamman at the pivotal posi-
ton. His passing is poor. although he
has plenty of weight and is husky.
Siegling and McCrohan both did re-
markable work yesterday at breaking
through tackle, and there is little doubt
of strength at these two points along
the line.
Although the backfeld will probably
be made up of Read, Hart and Cum

the freshman team last rear, may yet
have a chance to land in that DEPART
ment in the final struggle with Yale.
Sawyer dill some spectacular dashing
in the Fordham game, and he is speedy
and fearless.

better today than they did on Monday,
just after the 3-to-0 contest with Ford

A committee chosen by the president

wishing to join the league must file
their entry blanks with the committed

Each team will recommend an official

test by Gus Brown, a former
Tiger star end, the football team
of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
arrived here early today. 1t Is ex-
pected that the game with the Prince
ton team, in its present state OF devel-
opment. will be interesting and closely
contested.
There is much speculation on the
campus today as to how the new back
field shift is going to work. Dawson
will be played at quarter and Chrystle
will replace him at the helm. Captain
Siegling said before the game that
Hart, who has been suffering from a
muscle bruise for a week, will prob
ably be allowed to play a few minutes
only, If at all. Read and Cunningham
will be played, with Dawson In the
backHeld, Bamman at CENTRE Waller
and Woehr as guards, McCrohan ana
Siegling as tackles, WEIGH and Meigs,
ends. The v. p. I. lineup has not yet
been announced.
Dawson and Sparks showed up well
at practise yesterday. both of them
crossing the scrub goal-line for touch
downs in the single short half of scrim-
maging that was allotted to the squad.
McCrohan, who has been absent from
the field lately. showed his usual power
and form in breaking through the line
In the backfeld Chrystie did clever
lodging in open field running. In fact,
everything points to the success OF the
change Of position of these W 70 men.
Sparks went in for Read in the
scrimmage yesterday, and 1t Is expect
ed that he will play at least half OF the
game, instead of Read, today. Read
was injured in the Fordham game and
the coaches feel inclined to let him
down easily at the season.
Phil Brasher, '05. Is working daily
with the ends. Meigs Is showing I'M
provement, and there is no doubt that
WEIGH will come up to his standard. He
is a veteran player and the coaches
expect great things of him in the flu
ture. John Dewitt is still working al
the men who boot the ball. and Cum
ningham is giving indications of genius
In that department.
Waller and Woehr seem to be pretty
firmly established on the varsity team
