Watch Charm in Wood Rats Nest

Jim Burke and Mr.. Calvin got in
from Bullion last evening. They tell
the following story and vouch for it's
truthfulness: While at Bullion Mr..
Calvin came across what looked to him
as an old tunnel on one of the mining
claims. He cleared away the dirt
sufficiently to crawl into the tunnel u
short distance. He wore his gold
watch with all ell's tooth hanging to
the watch fob. After short stay in
the tunnel, he backed out and reported
his find to Mr.. Burke and others That
night he wound his watch as usual and
placed it uuder his pillow, but did not
notice that the elks tooth was missing.
Three days afterward the men went to
the old tunnel and cleaned out the face
and Mr. Calvin entered it with a
lighted candle. He went some dis
lance and found his way blocked by
some boulders that had fallen from the
roof of the tunnel. On the top of
these boulders, he found wood rats
nest. While looking ut the nest, he
noticed something glisten and on pick
ing it up found that it was his watch
charm. The charm must have been
torn from the fob the day he first
crawled into the tunnel and had been
fonnd by the wood rat and carried to
its nest. He had not missed the charm
for three days and was very much
surprised to find it in the rats nest. He
and Jim Burke declare this to be true
story in every particular
They also report mines at Bullion to
be looking well and the mountains
covered with snow.

The Cost OF DYING

The Evangelist and Christian World
has an editorial in the August 81 issue
under the above caption. In it we are
told of a working girl who, at the
death of her mother, who had been de-
pendent upon her, paid out of what she
had saved from her wages 1920 for q
casket and worked many months after
ward to pay debts incurred for other
funeral expenses. The story is told
also of the funeral of Bohemian
woman whose daughter is a helper in
the Chicago university settlement. The
services and burial under the auspices
Of the Roman Catholic church cost $500
and the woman's husband is 81 day
laborer earning $3.50 per day.
The coffin trust controls the price of
caskets Cremation does not lesson the
expense. Where is all of this to end

A Very Slick Job

The Carson democrats are said to be
very wrathy over the deal by which
Sanford was appointed district attorney
to succeed Roberts. Roberts was
elected as democrat and his successor
is republican. The deal was evidently
made by Roberts and ratified by
democratic board of county commission
ers. What makes the affair look like
sell-out by Roberts is that democratic
attorneys had no opportunity to apply
for the vacant position. His resigna-
tion was accepted and his successor
appointed before those outside of the
charmed circle had a chance to act.
Such sharp work is sure to react upon
all who had part in it. The demo-
cratic commissioners of Ormsby county
are more censurarable than Roberts
Without them, he could not have
carried out his bargain with Sanford.

1t appears that Frank, IS years

a neighbor, were returning from a
hunt for rabbits when they sat
down near a straw stack, laying
their guns ear them. While
there a younger brother of Frank,
eight years old, came where they
ere sitting, picked up a gun and
aimed it carelessly at the head OF
Frank. The gun was DISCHARGED
and contents entered the victims
eead, blowing it to pieces. His
death was instantaneous. He was
carried to the house, but no medi.
cal aid could save him.
He was buried on Tuesday in
the c. S. P. s. cemetery north OF
town.
Frank was an industrious young
man, of good habits and was a IA
vorite in his neighborhood.

President Deluged With Invitations
From the WesteNo Plans
Made

Washington, March 31.-President
Taft is being fairly smothered with in
vitations for visits and speeches in
every part of the country during the
coming summer.
The president is unable to say at
this time just what his plans for the
summer will be. He first planned to
spend the summer in travel, making
long tour of the western and Pacific
states, with side trip by steamer to
Alaska.
But the western trip is held in
allegiance for numerous reasons, a par
amount one being the matter of ex-
penses.
Mr.. Taft is making no speaking en-
gagements at this time because of the
doubt as to the length of time congress
will remain in session. He does moi
purpose to make any extended triI
away from Washington while the
tariff bill is under consideration.
