No project of any real worth or sig

With such men as these the Catholic
church at Golconda becomes an as

was positively attested on Sunday
night last, when Miss Kathleen Lyne

This unmistakable evidence of the

Jarbidge to Gold Creek on horseback
Ia distance of 40 miles--in one day
crossing the Sunfower fat, which is
supposed to be the worst part Of the
route. From Gold Creek to Elko they
came in by sled stage. Parks has sew.
feral properties in the camp. He re-
ports ESQ to 300 men there and less
than one foot of snow in the canyon
where the town is situated. He passed

ALLEGED BOXCAR
Thieves ARRESTED

| Railroad detective H. J. Hewitt and
Chief of Police Haynes, of Lovelock
have uncovered series of thefts from
freight cars passing through Lovelock
and as result one of the proprietors
of the Owl saloon, w. H. Hayes, has
made hurried getaway from Lovelock
with his present whereabouts unknown,
but earnestly sought for.
1t is alleged that Hayes found it
easier to supply the Owl saloon with
liquors stolen from the sealed cars Of
freight passing through Lovelock than
to purchase the same in the regular
way and had in his employ two men
whose duty it was to break into the
freight cars and dump the stolen goods
out near the track few miles above
town. Then the stolen whisky would
be brought to town at night under COW
er of darkness.
For some time the officers have been
chip" to the work but have been wait
ing to catch the guilty parties red
handed. The trick was worked again
last Sunday. From an ast-bound
freight train barrel Of whisky had
been dumped at point near the
Scilaseci ranch about three miles above
town and at twelve that night Officer
Haynes, who was stationed on the road,
arrested the men as they we're bringing
the stolen barrel into town. In the rig
were two men and VIM. Nelcon, one Of
the Owl proprietors. No resistance
was made and the three were arrested
and the whisky was recovered.
Nelson denied his connection with
the theft other than that he was in
the employ of Hayes, and he secured
his release from Jail on bond Of $40,
put up by w. o. Smith, another pro-
prietor of the Owl. Smith was more or
less of silent partner in the Owl
and has not been connected with the
thefts. Nelson has always been r
spected citizen of the community, at
one time being employed as night
watchman by the town, and many ex-
pressions of regret at his plight have
been heard. Hayes is considered to be
the real guilty culprit.--Lovelock
Tribune.
Hayes was arrested in Reno Satur-
day and taken back to Lovelock. Yes
terday Hayes and Nelson were arraign-
ed before Judge Fits at Lovelock and
their preliminary examination set for
today.
1t is claimed that the two hoboes
who are alleged to have stole the whis-
ky made full confession in the jus
tiee court of their share in the theft,
Indicating both Hayes and Nelson,
and were afterwards bound over to the
grand jury, being held in Lovelock to
testify at the preliminary today.
Mrs. Davenport, a local stenograph-
er, went down to Lovelock ON No. 8
last evening to take the testimony at
the trial.

IMPORTANT CASES
TO BE DECIDED

Attorneys on both sides of the con-
troversy are preparing for the final
determination by the supreme court Of
the United States for the long mooted
question whether rights to desert land
entries may be transferred before
reclamation has been made.
A case involving that point has been
set for argument before the United
States supreme court on February 81.
At the same time, the court is to hear
arguments as to whether it 10 a crime
against the United States to Craze
sheep in a forest reservation without
permission of the government.
The question of the right to trans
fer desert land entry arises in a GRIM
inal prosecution. William H. Hammers,
of southern California, was indicted in
the federal court for the southern dis
trict or California on charge of COM
mitting perjury in an affidavit made in
the interest of Beulah Rose Becker, to
the effect that improvements Of GER
tain value had been made ON desert
lands in Imperial county, California.
In defense it was set up that the
land in question had been entered by
Granville M. Boyer, on August IA,
1907, at the land Office in Los Angeles,
and that the attempted transfer of his
rights in the land on August 26, 1907,
to Beulah Rose Becker was void, be-
cause the right to make such trasfer
was not possessed by Boyer. 1t was
argued that, as Boyer did not possess
such right, the affidavit of Hammers
was immaterial.
The district court sustained the de-
Tense, and the government appealed to
the supreme court.
The question of the ability of an en-
tryman to transfer desert land entry
has been considered by the court be-
fore. On the previous occasion that
court held that, under the desert land
act of 1877, the entryman had no right
w
Rights of Sheepmen.
Whether it is a crime to Craze sheep
without permission in a forest reserve
has arisen in the indictments of Pierre
Grimade, 8. p. Carajous and Antonio
linda, sheepmen of California, who were
charged with having grazed their sheep.
without permission of the government,
in the Sierra forest reserve in Califor-
mia
These indictments were all brought
in the federal court for the southern
district Of California.
By act Of congress approved June 4,
1897, the secretary of the interior, and
later the secretary of agriculture, was
directed to make provision for the pro-
lection of the forest reserves. 1t was
provided that any violation of the pro-
visions made should be punishable ac-
cording to the revised statutes.
In 1906, Secretary Wilson promulgat-
ed a regulation requiring all persons
to obtain permlts before grazing ant
mails in forest reserve. 1t was by
reason of alleged violations Of this
regulation that the indictments were
brought.
Attorneys for the sheepmen contend
ed, however, that the act Of 1897 was
void, so far as it attached penalties to
any violation Of regulations thereafter
to be made, because it sought to pro-
vide penalty for crime not com
pletely defined. 1t was also argued
that the act was an attempt to confer
legislative authority on an executive
officer The court sustained the defense
and the government appealed to the su'
preme court.
