Horse A
Wicked
Actor

Peter Lauritzen, a commission
dealer, was thrown from his wagon
in upper hurry street yesterday
morning and slightly injured when
his team suddenly whirled about in
the roadway as he was climbing into
the wagon. The latter was upset
and considerably damaged One of
the horses was thrown under the
wreck and slightly injured.
A peculiar coincidence in connec
ton with the runaway was that at
almost the same moment of is oc-
currence v. E. Nyberg, a we'll known
cattleman of Kern Creek, drove by
on his way to town from his home.
Nyberg stopped to see If he could be
of aid and recognized both Lauritzen
and the horse which caused the run
away, the animal being known as
Railroad" A few years ago it came
near taking the life of Nyberg, drag
glng him a distance of $50 yards.
At the time Nyberg had a foot caught
in the stirrup and was dashed over
the ground, head downward. His es-
cape from fatal injuries was con3.d-
cred miraculous.
That Laurit was not fatally hurt
yesterday is also considered n mar
vel by those who witnessed tie ac-
cident and saw him hurled to the
road, a portion of the w~reckage of
his wagon being dashed over on top
of him. BY barest chance his head
escaped being crushed under the
side of the yehicle.

Back TO Jai|
For These
TRUSTEES

Although his term of six months
in the county Jail had almost ex-
pired, Willie Phillips, a trusty, will
now remain an inmate of that insti-
futon for an indefinite period be-
cause of a charge filed yesterday by
Nellie Baker, colored. who claims
Phillips tried to kill her.
Phillips and Dave Whear, another
trusty, took advantage of the liber-
ties allowed them Wednesday even
ing. Whear had received $87 from
his sister a few days before and with
this money the pair proceeded to
make the rounds of the town. Phil
lips tour ended when he attempted
to create a disturbance.
Both men were arrested by OFFICER
Henderson and spent the remainder
of the night in the city Jail. They
were returned to their fromer quar-
tiers yesterday morning and ere now
doing time in the tanks.

Rush Of Farm
Products to
District

Yesterday witnessed probably a
record day in fall traffic into the dis
trict over the Murray summit road.
No less than twenty big teams came
in, while there were nearly as many
out on the way to the ranching dis
tricts tapped by the road. The in
coming teams brought hay, all man
ner of produce and considerable fruit,
some splendid shipments of apples
and peaches being among the latter
from Lund, Preston, Kern Creek and
other farming localities as far dis
tant as Railroad valley.
The traffic represents no small
business for local merchants, as in
exchange for the products brought
from these localities much is taken
back in merchandise. 1t is note
worthy in this connection that the
nearer Tonopah and have better roads
to that point, come here in preference
to going to other points, because they
say they a get more and better
goods from the merchants of this dis
trict for a given amount of money
than they get elsewhere in the state.
The unusually heavy traffic yester-
day was attributed in some part to
the recent stormy weather. Many of
the farmers had been deained in town
by the rains, while many of the in
coming visitors had been awaiting
a break in the storm in order to
bring their heavily laden wagons over
the roads in safety. 1t is said that
all along the roads in the ranching
country, scattered for $50 miles out
of the district. there are heavily
loaded freighting wagons ready to
start for town. They will bring to
market all manner of agricultural
and horticultural products.

the meal was finished, and the world was lost to us for eight hours. The observation gave latitude S9 degrees 46.5 minutes, longitude 94 degrees g minutes
 With the boys singing and the dogs bowling we started of after midnight on April 21. The dogs looked large and noble as they came along that day, while Etukishuk and Ahwelah, though thin and ragged, had dignity as heroes of the greatest human bat tie which had ever been fought with remarkable success
 We were all lifted to the paradise of winners as we stepped over the snows of a destiny for which we had risked life and willingly suffered the tortures of an icy hell.
 The ice under us seemed almost sa- cred. When the pedometer registered fourteen and a half miles we camped and calmly went to sleep, feeling that we were turning on the earth's axis.
 The observations, however, gave 89 degrees 59 minutes 45 seconds. We therefore had the pole, or the exact spot where it should be. within sight.
 We advanced the fifteen seconds, made supplementary observations, pitched the tent, built a snow igloo and prepared to make ourselves com fortable for stay long enough for two rounds of observations.
 Our position was thus doubly assur- ed, and a necessary day of rest was gained Etukishuk and AhweIah en- joyed the day in quiet repose, but slept very little. My goal was reach ed; the ambition of my life had been fulfilled. How could I sleep away such overwhelming moments of ela- tion2

 We were but 100 miles from the pole, but there was nothing to relieve the mental strain of the icy despair. The wind came with the same satanic cut from the west.
 With teeth set and newly sharpened resolutions, we set out for that last 100 miles. Some dogs had gone into the stomachs of their hungry companions, but there still remained a sufficient pull of we'll tried brute force for each sled, and, though their noisy vigor had been lost in the long drag, they still

 Though overjoyed with the success of the conquest our spirits began to change on the next day after all the observations had been taken and the local conditions were studied. A sense of intense loneliness came with a care ful scrutiny of the horizon. What a cheerless spot to have aroused the am bition of man for so many ages!

A Vicious Tariff Steal.

Of the many outragea Of the Aid
rich tariff bill, now before the Sem
ate, none is meaner, more vicious
and threatens more suffering than
that to which the New Orleans Pro-
gressive Union has just called atten-
tion-that is, the material used for
ni1osqulto bars from 60 to $50 per
cent. This increased duty, which
will benefit only few, will double
the price of netting and make it pro-
hibitive for the poorer class of peo-
pie in the Gulf districts of the Allan
tic coasts, throughout the South and
West, and wherever the mosquitoes
swarm.
1t might we'll be call Aceldama, a
tribute of blood, from which thous-
ands will suffer in discomfort. in loss
of sleep and physical injury, turned
over as they will be to the mercies
of blood-sucking mosquitoes, that
some other blood-suckers may make
more dollars and double their profits
by the almost prohibitive profit of
$50 per cent. Nay, more; as mos
quitoes are transmitters of disease,
and especially of malarial fever, one
of the greatest scourges of the rural
districts of the South and West,
claiming over 10000 victims annual
ly, the Senate is asked to vote to
double the number of these victims,
to double the amount of sickness and
suffering, to swell the mortality lists
that few persons my double their
profits. What Tom Hood wrote in
his "Song of the Shirt could be
multiplied hundredfold before il
equaled this iniquity, which proposes
the sacrifice of lives for larger divi-
dends, which proposes to coin the
blood and suffering of the victims

How a Snake Eats Eggs.

We have often heard of snakes
eating eggs-hen eggs-but we new
er knew until Saturday when we
learned the secret from an eye wit
ness. 1t was in Rowan county where
the black snake swallowed four hen
eggs. He found the nest under an
apple tree and although the eggs
were larger around than the snakes
head, his neck or even his body, he
had no trouble in getting them push
ed down the narrow passage. You
could see them go without any trou-
BILE and when the four eggs were in
the snake you could see the four
knots on the snake. But how did he
digest them? Well that was an easy
oestion for Mr.. Blacksnake. He
crawled up the body of the apple
tree, wrapped himself around it and
frightened himself until pop, pop, pop,
pop-and all the eggs were broken.

Crime and Punishment.

A man in Missouri, convicted in
the court below of murder in the
first degree, on appeal was granted
a new trial by the court Of last re-
sort on the ground that the foreman
of the jury that rendered the ver-
dict neglected to put the letter ''r"
in the word first
If the fellow had stolen a hog, in
stead of taking human life, doubtless
he would now be a felon in the States
prison.
In another case a man convicted of
murder got off because the attorney
for the Commonwealth forgot how,
or did not know how, to spell the
word breast he left out the "a"
and in vet another case the culprit
escaped because the prosecutor did
not observe the legal etiquette of the
time of Sir Matthew Hale and put in
the Indictment the formality 'then
and there"
Is it any wonder that human life
is the very cheapest thing in our
glorious Union? The accused chooses
the jury, on the fimsisst and most
transparent perjury he gets a con-
tinuance, and on the most absurd
technicalities the supreme court re-
verses the judgment sentencing the
criminal to punishment. The idea
seems to be this: Better a thous-
and peaceable citizens be murdered
than that one felon be punished.
And hence Judge Lynch. There
is no nonsense in his court, no plea
in the way Of technique. As for the
spelling in his jurisdiction, there is
the widest latitude, and all the bar
barisms of all the heathens may be
perpetuated against the kings Eng
lish "then and there" present.
The one way to put Judge Lynch
eff the bench is to make law to
protect the citizen and then enforce
it against the male-factor that trans
crosses ii. Washington Post.
