damages has been filed against the
TonOpah and Goldfeld Railroad COM
pany 10y John Hawkes., administrator of
the estate of his brother, Joseph

with brakes, ran away OH steep grade
crashing into Il caboosc, in which the
victim was mt the time, and that IL

incapable of handling it properly. 1t

A Race With the Sun

An English magazine says that if an
aerial machine were capable of travel
ing ut any rate up to 1000 miles un
hour II traveller in it, starting westward
from London Mt a spead of 600 miles
an hour, would arrest the progress of
time. If he started at 10 a. M, it
would always be to him 10 a. III. Should
he find his uncnding day monotous he
could reverse his direction and get Il
quick succession of short days and
nights Of some six hours duration. but
he could regulate the lcngth by the
speed of his machine. Suppose hc
travelled from London one night at 10
o'clock westward Mt II speed of 1000
miles per hour. Hc would soon OK
pcricncc the sensation of seeing the sun
rising IN the west where 1t had set u
short time before.

Claim Law Is Defective

1t is not improbable that the new
Game and Fish Law, which was in
troduced in the Nevada Assembly by
Assemblynan James Clark, who is now
Fish Commissioner for Nevada, will
be declared unconstitutional as result
of not providing for the non-payment
of licenses by the Indians. Before this
time all Indians have been entitled to
fish and hunt without the payment of
any license, but now they will have to
pay license of $25 per year for the
privilege unless the attorneys investigat-
ing the matter discover something in
the law that makes them exempt from
any taxation.
The law provides that any person a
citizen of the United States and n bona
fide resident of Nevada shall be given a
license for 81; that any person citizen
of the United States and not bona
tide resident of Nevada shall pay $40,
and that any person not citizen of the
United States shall pay $25 for a
license.
Now, there are no Indians in Nevada
who are citizens of the United States.
The Piutes are wards of the Federal
Government, and, Therefore, some at
torneys claim they are exempt from the
payment of any license, but the
WashOes are not wards of the govern.
ment. Neither are they citizens of the
United States. Their lands have been
taken from them and they have been
denied the privilege of becoming
citizens. The attorneys declare they
will probably be compelled to pay the
S25 liccnse.-Appeal.
