No Session For Assessors

A special from Boise says the as
SCISSORS of the counties will not be
called together this year in state
convention, according to a state
mcnt by State Auditor S. d. Tay-
lor. The old members OF the board
Secretary of State Lansdon and
State Trearcrer G. A. Hastin gs,
familiar with the work of the asse-
ssors at their meeting last sum
mer, advised against convention.
That the assessors did not know
any more about taxation than any
body else was the inference drawn
from the action of the state board a
year ago, when it turned down prac-
tically all the recommendations
made by the tax collectors after a
convention lasting almost a week
and during sessions of which the
assessors called each other mean
names and engendered bad feeling
in general. Standpoint News.

Mrs. Conant's Home Burned

The home of Mrs. K. L. Conant,
living miles north of Leonia, was
burned to the ground on July 2.
Mrs. Conant was in the garden
when she heard small explosion
and before she could save anything
the house was afre in one large
flame, great black clouds of smoke
ascending to the heavens; she also
counted 8 distinct explosions.
Her son, Geo. Pixley, with others
have been building a new house
and had it nearly completed, when
it was burned. 1t is known that
the building was set on fire, as
there had been no fire in the new
house and the only fire was in the
old building s hours before. 1t
will be remembered that about a
year ago, some person on persons
placed dynamite under Mrs. Con-
ants house, aud just by mere luck
she escaped being killed. Mrs.
Conant is holding squater's claim
and it seems that other parties
want her claim.

DIAMOND DUST

The Dreadnaughts- they line
up today--met and defeated the
Scotia Novas here last Sunday, in
one-s sided game by score of 8-3.
After toying with the Scotians
for several innings for the amuse-
ment of an empty grand stand and
the small, cherries crowd of men
and boys who graced the bleachers,
the Dreadnaughts-of today--got
busy and worked that "hit-bunch-
ing system" of theirs which has
made them so famous and so much
feared from Maine to California and
from the land of the Canucks in
the north to the home of the dark
skinned Greaser beyond the Rio
Grande upon the south. The re-
suit of the ensuing swatfest was as
we have given its to 3-besldes
effectually silencing the roofing Of
the lone female in the bleachers
who had travelled all the way from
Scotia town only to go back empty
pursed and broken-hearted.
On next Sunday tomorrow the
Dreadnaughts of today-will try
conclusions here with either Libby
(the team from cowboy land who
brought first sorrow to the gladstone
hearts of Bonnertown) or Walkers
Colts from the county chair.
Should it chance to be Libby the
game should be especially good, for
the miners will have another chance
TO face Hart, in which case we pre-
dict that the ozone will be most
plentifully punctured by the visit
ors in vain endeavor to locate the
elusive horsehide percolated by the
only Roy Hart. Do you get that?
Walker also has fine little team,
so you'll be sure to be glad you
came no matter which team comes.

Months Ago Captured

Last Saturdays Reno Gazette con
tains an account Of the arrest Of Joseph
P. Russell at Reno on a warrant issued
by Sheriff Emerson of Lassen County,
California, on the charge Of cattle and
horse stealing in that county. Officer
Hillhouse arrested Russell and lodged
him in the Reno Jail. The prisoner
had been camped in Spanish Springs
valley. about 10 miles from Reno, where
he had 40 head Of cattle and a number
of horses.
On the date stated the police depart
ment at the latter place received Q
telegram describing the man and giving
also the brands on the missing animals
IL seems Russell came into town ant
went to the Sierra stables and en-
d~esvoured to negotiate the sale Of the
horses, but the officer was on the look
out and nabbed him.
Russell is the same individual wh'
sold q horse and saddle to Robert A.
Laird in Eureka about two months ago.

Mr.. Smith does not anticipate any

pleasure and rest only, and though the
country to be traversed is far from the
sort usually sought by pleasure seekers
it will be something out of the ordinary
run. That's what Mr.. Smith is after.
He will spend a few weeks along the
Southern California coast. Returning.
he will perhaps take the route skirtine

A break in the pipe Of the Eureks
Water Company somewhere along it,
line has given considerable trouble dur.
ing the week. Owing to the frozen
condition of the ground the water has
failed to come to the surface at the
point where the pipe is believed to be
broken. As a result, the company has
had a force Of men prospecting along
the pipe line most of the week en-.
deavoring to locate the trouble. The
break caused a shortage in the supply
that necessitated the shutting off OF the
water from the town system for a couple
of nights the fore part of the week.

SHEEP OvERRUNNlNG DUCKWATER
Reported That 175,0O0 Head Are Now
Grazing in That Section

Reported That l75.0O0 Head Are Now
Grazing in That Section
Joe Tognoni of Duckwater, who wal
in Eureka the first Of the week, re
ports that there are now about 175,00t
head Of sheep near his place on the eas'
side Of the valley. The different band,
are in charge of and have been driven
there by Basque sheepherders from
seven counties Of the State. some OF
them coming from Douglas County In
Western Nevada.
These travelling bands of sheep are
not permitted to pass over ranges desig.
mated as Government forest reserves
until such time as the feed natures OIL
them sufficiently to permit p~asturine,
consequently these sheep have been
forced to find new feeding grounds. AND
as a result have been driven into Nye
County.
Mr.. Tognoni says when he left home
the sheep were grazing among his
cattle, aud were as thick as grasshop
pers. He says they are not only eating
all the feed in sight. but such vast
numbers passing over the ground dig
u the tender grass roots with their
sharp hoofs, absolutely rendering re-
production of feed impossible. They
have also damaged all the springs in
that section by turning them into mud
holes.
