LIVELY RUNAWAY DOWN BRIDGE
STREET THIS AFTERNOON

When the driver Of Haviland 3 Hos
kins' Paradise stage reached the barn
at the corner of Melarkey and Sixth
streets this afternoon with his outfit,
he found the door closed. Dismount-
ing, he opened the door, when the four
horses started on a run, going through
the barn and over the wire fence of
the enclosure. Here the leaders broke
loose, but the stage, drawn by two
horses, turned into Melarkey street,
around the corner into Sixth, then into
Bridge street. In going into the main
street the horses made long turn, de-
molishing the fence in front Of DR..
Mangan' s residence. One of the lead
ers, dragging a pair of whfietrees, led
the procession down Bridge street, and
in front of the Eagle drug store col
lided with the delivery team of E.
Reinhart & Co., stripping the harness
from the horses. In another instant
the stagecoach came tearing by as
though pursued by road agents All
three horses were stopped at the West
ern Pacific tracks, with no great dam
age having been done.
AS the stage was unloading the mail
at the postoffice kodak fiend was mo-
ticed taking a snap shot at the out
fit, and it is thought that perhaps the
team ran away in order that the artist
might secure a picture fit to illustrate
story of a "Wild West" stage
holdup.

NOW STAMPFDINC
OUT OF JARB|DCE

"Billy" Kopplin and w. E. Bren.
nan arrived in town this morning, hav-
ing come from Jarbidge, via Deeth.
They report considerable snow at the
camp, most of it having fallen last
week.
Up to short time ago there was
stampede for Jarbidge, the population
of the camp having reached high
water mark some thre weeks ago. when
it boasted of 1,500 people. Since that
time, however, all who could get away
have left, with the result that at pres
ent there are less than 400 men there.
There are but three claims upon
which any work has been done, namely
the Bourne, Pick and Shovel and CO.

fairly well for the amount of work

Jarbidge, there are number of men at
work on some likely looking prospects.
It is stated that in about a week g time

roads can obtain information as to
what concessions these companies can
give for these two events by inquiring

FRANK II. DAVIES
GUILTY OF FORGERY

Judge Pike arrived in Winnemucca
from Reno Sunday evening and conven-
ed District Court Monday morning.
George Johnson, the 17-year-old boy
indicted for having committed for
gerry at Lovelock, changed his plea to
guilty. Sentence was deferred. In
speaking of the case today to repre-
sentative of the Silver State, Judge
Pike stated that he should not send
the boy to the penitentiary, but would
probably turn him over to a probation
officer. AS there is no officer of the kind
In Humboldt county, it will first be
necessary to have one appointed. While
the judge has the appointing power
and fixes the salary, it is necessary for
the board of county commissioners to
first authorize the appointment. The
matter will be brought to the attention
of the board at its June meeting, and
in the meantime the prisoner will re-
main in custody of Sheriff Lamb.
A jury in the case of Frank H.
Davies, indicted for forgery, was Sc
cured yesterday afternoon before ad.
journment. This morning the evidence
was heard and the case given to the
jury shortly before the noon hour. The

LARGEST SALMON PACK
FOR PAST TWENTY YEARS

Ten thousand men with $4,000 600
worth of equipment are working az
various points along the Columbia,
Willamette and Ciackamas rivers in
Washington and Oregon, where the
salmon season opened on May l. Fish
ermen report that not in 20 years has
there been such run of fish as this
year, which means that the 1910 pack
will be the largest in the history of the
industry. The opening of the season
marks the end of bitter fight between
the authorities of Oregon and the fish
ermen in which Master Fish Warden
McAllister was the victor. He has dis
patched two boats to patrol the streams
in that state, and it is given out that
arrests will follow any violations Of
the law, which provides that fishing
must cease at o'clock every Satur-
day evening and not resume until 6
o clock the following Sunday evening.
The laws of the state do not cover the
Willamette and Clackamas rivers, but
they were closed to fishermen from
March l to May l. to keep faith with
the fish authorities of the state of
Washington.

". P. engine DE.
STROYED BY FIRE

Sunday night Western Pacific pas
senger engine No. rs, coal burner,
was run into the roundhouse over an
oilpit. Although a Greek is on duty as
night hostler, nothing unusual was no.
ticed until parties from the outside dis
covered fire. Running to the house
they discovered that the engine was a
mass of flames, and that the fire had
gained such headway that it could not
be extinguished. 1t was accordingly
allowed to burn itself out. when it was
found that all that remained of the en-
gine was a mass of junk.
1t is naturally supposed that coal
dropped down from the frebox of the
destroyed engine, igniting the oil that
had leaked out into the bottom of the
pit from the oil-burners that had pre-
viously occupied the STALL

Just what will be the nature of these
services has not yet been fully deter

will preach, and if enough of the
young people of the church and Sunday
school are sufficiently interested and
desire it we may reorganize the Win

are invited to attend, but especially
the young people.

PLAN TO CONVERT
WASTE into coin

n these times, when every one is
brought to a realization of the high
cost of living and it is claimed that
not enough farm products are produc-
ed to meet the demands of the increas-
ing population, the system of conserva-
tion should be thoroughly observed in
every community. Utilize the waste
and convert even the garbage into
money values or products that will
save money, such as alcohol for cook
ing, heating, lighting and power. Do
mestic fuel and light are absolute me-
cessities and are among the most ex-
Ipensive costs of family. To provide
sufficient heat and light for the family
out of wage earner's pay frequently
cuts down the allowance for meat and
even clothing and other comforts. Now
that the government has placed de-
natured alcohol on the free list and
there is now on the market thorough
ly successful and simple apparatus for
Gistilling denatured alcohol from waste
of all kinds, there is no longer neces-
sity for any community to go on pay
ing high prices for coal, OIL gasoline,
etc, when they can make it themselves.
The apparatus is not expensive and re-
quires no special skill to operate it..
Women and children can operate a
plant after little instruction as well
as any one. Alcohol can be made at
home for less than half the cost of
oil, gasoline and coal, besides it is the
most perfect fuel as well as the least
dangerous, especially when solidifed,
which is done only by the Hartzfelt
process. Then there is great source of
profit in operating the stills and sell
ing the surplus products either by the
cooperation of a few families or an
individual
A $1,000 apparatus is capable of
producing rs to 100 gallons of 182 proof
alcohol daily and even if sold at gaso-
line prices will readily earn net over
$4,000 a year. Is there any other
legitimate business that will do as
wella This can be proportionately in
creased by increasing the plant, using
sagebrush as a raw material. An acre
of sugar beets will yield about 800 gal
Ions of alcohol and other bi-products,
worth approximately $3.50. 1t costs $5
to So to plant and grow an acre of
beets. The demand for alcohol is in
creasing and will continue to increase
until it brings down the price of gaso-
line, oil and coal. Even then it will
be the preferred fuel.
Here is chance for men and women
with but a few hundred dollars capi-
tai, no matter where they live, to es-
tablish an Independent paying bust
ness that grows with its first days ope-
ration and without anxiety for future
results.
The Standard .Distillers' association,
which controls Nevada and Idaho,
wishes to encourage every community
and every family to take up the matter
in earnest for cheap fuel, light and
power and plant alcohol producing
crops. Every mine employing power,
heavy or light, must use this method
if they wish to reduce their expenses.
The light produced by alcohol is su-
perior to oil or electricity and cheaper
than either, because it is largely pro-
duced from materials that have na
commercial value in the country.
