YOUNG INDIAN CON-
FEssEs THEFT

Snyder Smith, the young Indian
who Was run over by a trail n the
Wlnnemucca Southern Pacific yard
while attempting to beat his way
east Monday morning, by which ac-
cident he lost his left foot, has. con-
fessed that he is one of the boys
who stole couple of checks at the
Indian school near Carson about
ten days ago. Smith and another
of the Indian pupils purloined two
checks, one for $65 and the other
for $40, drawn in favor of the en-
ployes of the school. They made
their getaway and afterward tried
to cash the checks at Sparks, but
failed. They then headed east and
the officers along the line were
notified and have been on the out
look for them. After Smith was
hurt here he was taken to the county
hospital, where he confessed yester-
day to Sheriff Lamb that he was one
of the boys who had stolen the
checks at the Indian school. Smith
said that he and his companion had
given the checks to man at Hazen,
the latter agreeing to cash them,
but the man kept the checks. Smith
was on his way to his home in
Northern Elko county when he met
with the accident here. His COM
panion has not been captured yet,
but probably will in few days.
The theft was committed in Ormsby
county and the officers have been
notified in regard to Smith, but it
is not known what action will be
taken in his case.-Humboldt Starr.

A DANGEROUS FISH

Trouble turks in the least sus-
pected spots. One would think a
smooth shallow cove safe place
in which to float good craft, yet
Charles Frederick Holder met with
an adventure in just such a spot,
which he relates in big Game at
Sea-" The author was visiting a
friend on the New England coas t,
who was given to the study of
natural history.
One day the author accompanied
his friend on a collecting trip, and
here is the story of the result as
he told it:
Opposite his house was a little
bay with clean sandy bottom.
Over this we slowly drifted. I sat
in the stern, enjoying the day and
examining the curious things my
friend drew out of the water. Sud-
denly he gave an ejaculation, and
saw him cling, seemingly helpless,
to his pole. His face was ashy
pale, with white appearance like
one stricken with fatal disease.
sprang forwad just in time to
catch him as he fell back into the
boat and lowered him to the seat.
At first he could only motion to-
ward the water. He was almost
rigid. Finally he recovered enough
to say "Torpedo!" l saw the har-
pooh he was holding dancing about,
evidently forced into large fish.
Grasping it, l soon discovered the
trouble, for received an electric
shock strong enough to almost
knock me over. dropped the pole.
BY this time my friend had re-
covered enough to tell me to let
the fish remain where it was. With
difficulty / rowed to shore. When
the boat was grounded l picked up
an old glass bottle, took turn over
it with the line and, with the help
of this homemade lnsulator, pulled
the fish on shore.
1t proved to be one of the largest
torpedoes or electric rays, l have
ever seen. Under certain con-
ditions it would have been capable
of killing a man. When touched
the fish would roll its eyes dismally
and givea low croak.
have never known a man to be
killed by one, but many have been
injured, and, as for my friend, he
did not recover in a week. -

STICK-TO-|T-|V|SM
ABLY ExEMPLIFIED

One of the things that cannot lie
regulated by man, with or without
capital is the location of a mining
camp. Wonder is sample of the
perversity of camps in locating
themselves, and refusing to bulge,
regardless Of hard times, bad
management, the robbery of rnonle
by banks, distance from the rail
roads, and a thous and other causes.
Here we are sixty miles from a
railroad and up hill all the way,
with wood none too plentiful and
water very expensive, surrounded
by desolate hills, and a hot dry,
sandy valley, where a very large
part of what we eat must be taken
from tin cans, with mo amusement
save what we create ourselves.
For nearly three years, with the
mines of the camp yielding practi-
cally nothing, still we stick. There
is reason for this sticking to the
camp, and good one. Those of
us who have hung on know that in
the mountains surrounding the town
of Wonder there are great masses
of rock bearing gold and silver,
and we are boundto have our share
of this wealth. Enough IF it has
been exposed to show that there is
more, and the best looking ground
in the camp has by no means been
thoroughly prospected as yet. The
surface indications here are so good
that, under the advice of some of
the worlds best mining engineers,
millions of dollars have been paid
for ground, and sooner or lat er
these properties are going to be
worked. No sane man would select
the vale in which this town is
located for summer home. 1t is
better suited to the wants of its
former inhabitants, the frolicsome
rabbit, the prowling coyote, the
Industrious badger and the retiring
rattlesnake, than to the pleasures of
human beings. The reason, and
the only reason for the existence
of human habitation here is the
presence of the great quartz lodges.
And they would not now be here if
it were possible to have them re-
moved to a more convenient place.
Fortunately for those of us who
have stood by what for some time
appeared forlorn hope, things are
changing for the better. Two of
the companies owning ground here
have in measure recovered from
the panic, and have begun making
ready to take from the hills the
treasure which is concealed in
them, and before the summer is
over Wonder will have shown why
it is on the map. Mining camps are
where mines are. Hence, Wonder.

CARRIED WATER
 IN BOOTS TO FIRE

Portland Ore, July 16.-Carrying water n his boots to put out forest fire that started in the Coast noun tains was the plan of Forest Super visor R. E. Benedict and his quick action saved a widespread conflagra- tion that would probably have result ed in much damage. He first tried to whip out the flames with his saddle blanket. Failing in this, he fell up- on the expedient of filling his boots from nearby stream. The annual warfare with forest fires that comes with every dry season is now on and the forest service is maintaining wig liant watch to reduce the yearly toll taken by the vagrant flames to a minimum.

He came about 45 minutes later and still being unable to gain an entrance, the clerk climbed through the transom over the door and let himself into the room.

The police were notified and Assistant Chief James Reidinger and Deputy Con- stable w. A. Branson and D. A. Cald- we'll hurried to the scene. Coroner H. B. Williams was later summoned and inspected the dead woman and surroundings of the room
 There was no doubt as to the iden- tity of the woman as she was known to number of the officials and oth- CTS who visited the house. At the head of the bed chair held the glass which contained the deadly poison Also on the same chair was a piece of hot tamale which the dead woman had evidently been eating. This food was hard and crisp when the room was visited by the officers. The room seemed in shape in every way. A suit case with a number of pieces of clothes was found and purse con- taining some small change and a pullman coupon or ticket from Shreveport, La, to Pine Bluff. Dr..

FIGHT PICTURES
 ARE DOOMED
Mayor Duley Emphatically States They Will Not Be shown In
 In Little Rock.

Little Rock, Ark, July 15.-Appar- ently there is little chance of the moving pictures of the Jeffries- Johnson fight being shown in Little Rock or Pulaski county.
 Immediately after reading a state ment by Louis Mitchell. proprietor of the Mitchell Film Exchange, in which he said that the pictures would be shown here the first of next week, Mayor Duley took steps to prevent the exhibition.
 He instructed Chief of Police Me Mahon to personally see the proprie- tor of every moving picture theater in the city and inform them that if any attempt is made to show pictures of the flight the theaters will be clos ed at once and their license revoked.
 Mayor Duley Is Emphatic.
 These pictures will not be shown in Little Rock if there is law enough to enable us to prevent their exhibi- tion, said Mayor Duley. T think the law justifies me in my position and anyway 1 have ordered the chief to close up any theater that makes an attempt to exhibit the fight pie lures and revoke the license
 My objection is that the pictures ov fN ct io1 st, ,;S pJ hatred. Of course, the proprietors of these films say that negroes won't be allowed to see the pictures, but there are plenty of white people who might have their passions aroused by these pictures and start trouble. The pictures can't possibly do the city any good so what is the use of hay ing them?"
 Mayor Duley will leave this after noon for Armstrong Springs. where he will remain until Tuesday. How ever he said that he would keep ill touch With Chief NcMahon and if an.- trouble arose over any attempt to ey- hibit pictures of the fight he woGld return to Little Rock at once.
 Mayor E, A. Ramsey. of Argenta, re- iterated his previous assertion that he would not allow the fight pictures ex- hibited in that city.
