The disappearance of Sheriff
Owens of Nye county is fast as
Stunning the phase of one of Nevada's
unsolved mysteries. No reason
has ever been advanced for his
disappearance that would hold
water when parties undertook to
explain them away. The popular
opinion seems to be that the sheriff
has met with foul play and that
somewhere on Nevada's deserts
his bones are bleaching. Every
effort is being made to find him
and it is hoped that before many
moons something definite will he
found about his fate. Many have
abused him since his disappearance
and all manner of stories have been
circulated about his character, but
when he was on hand attending to
his duties, he was one of the fore
most men of the southern part of
the state and was prominently
mentioned for a state fficc.-Vir-

|. 0. 0. F. GRAND LODGE

The session of the grand lodge of
Odd Fellows, which convened in
Reno Tuesday forenoon, finished it's
work Wednesday afternoon and
closed to meet in Carson next year.
The session was especially interest
ing owing to the presence of the
official head of the order through
out the world, Grand Sire w. L.
Kuykendall of Saratoga, Wyoming.
He is the first Grand Sire to visit
this jurisdiction and his stay among
the brethren of Nevada was made as
pleasant for him as it was possible
to makeit. Grand Sire Kuykendall
has lived on the frontier all his life
and is typical western man.
Near the close of the session
Wednesday afternoon he was pre-
sented with a beautiful cane. carved
with all the emblems of the order.
The grand lodge took a recess and
marched into the Rebekah Assembly
where the presentation was made
by Grand Master Sedgwick. The
Grand Sire was taken, completely
by surprise, but soon pulled himself
together and accepted the gift in a
neat speech. g..
Tuesday afternoon the, following
grand officers were elected for the
ensuing year: Harry P. Clifford of
Carson City, grand master; George
McNees, deputy grand master;
William Sutherland, grand sec
rotary; G. Novacovich, grand
treasurer; A. Maute, C. Kitzmeyer
and Richard Kirman, trustees;

SHOT A SLEEPING SQUAW

An Indian woman about eighteen
years of. age. who goes by the
euphonious name of Hatchett among
the whites, and anon the Indians
is sometimes called"Falling Snow"
on account Of having been born in
snowstorm, was shot through the
arm Tuesday afternoon last by
Frank Burns.
1t is reported thats Burns had
been drinking, and in a fit of rage
fired three shots at the squaw, who
was lying in camp on a bed. Only
one shot took effect, passing entirely
through the forearm without break
ing the bones, but terribly tearing
the muscles on the side of its exit.
Thirty-six, hours. elapsd before the
wound could be properly dressed,
and it is feared that the woman
will lose her life through blood
poisoning. She was brought here
Wednesday afternoon.
DR.. w. r. Martin is in charge
of the patient and reported Friday
that her condition appears a little
more favorable than the day before.
Burns left for tall timber i'm
mediately after the shooting and
succeeded in eluding the officer
sent after him. He will be ar
rested as soon as he can be located.

REMARKABLE PIECE OF LUCK

Mark Twain was an inveterate
smoker. He even smoked in bed,
where he did much of his work.
And speaking of his devotion to to-
bacco, Septimus tells us the follow
ing in the New York Express:
Mark Twain used to say that one
of the most remarkable stories of
luck ever had to do with smok-
ling. 1t was in the Nevada days.
He had been out prospecting in a
wild and uninhabited country, a
hundred miles from a village, when
his matches were destroyed by
water. He had no flint or tinder-
box and no way of getting a light.
SO he went about six hours without
smoke. Then the smokers in
satiable hunger began to gnaw.
II was in agony" said Twain, and
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1910-06-23

would have given hundreds of
thousands of dollars for light.
when suddenly I looked down on
the ground and what do you think
1 saw? A match. Sure as l live,
and in place 1 would have sworn
no white man had ever put his foot,
was large, fat match, perfectly
dry. / lighted my pipe and kept it
going until l reached a white mans
habitation. That was the greatest
bit of luck that ever happened in
my life." And the humorist would
tell the story with the gravest of
faces and withou even so much as
twinkle in the eyes.

Row NOT TO DO It

How not to advertise was forcibly
illus rated recently by chamber
of commerce in California, which
conceived the very lauda6le purpose
of getting people to eat more
raisins. Now raisins are most
excellent food, nutritious, palatable
and reasonably cheap. 1t is said
also that they are never adulterated.
The chamber thought it would be a
good scheme to have one day in the
calendar on which everybody would
eat raisins, and that. the best way
to advertise the scheme would be
by circular letters to brokers; by
cheap little folders and by flooding
the newspaper offices all over the
country with reading matter, which
it was hoped would be eagerly seized
and printed. Nearly $4,000 was
spent by the chamber in this way
with the result that scarcely anyone
ever heard of "raisin day" except
in one city where the advertising
columns of one of the daily news
papers were used. A raisin broker
remarked drily: IfIwere running
raisin day would try to get it
before the people in the right way
in the newspapers" WhichJleads

sometimes there is an entire and
most complete confounding in man

those given the charge of the

idea that it is praise-worthy to grind
the outlay and expenses down to a
very neat minimum, the very least

the preacher cannot be as well

We ought to go to church for

chance to do the same. Now, it is
the men, be it said, that are posi-
