A Novel Plan for Capturing Wild
Horses.

How to capture wild horses that
roam the ranges in White Pine county
is question that has been under con-
sideration by horsemen in that locality
as long as the fieet-footed beasts of the
western prairie have been known to
man.
Everything from the "salt" method,
as applied to birds, to the present me-
thod of wearing them out by relays and
trapping them, has had a fair trial
with but little success.
II has remained for two Salt Lake
men to devise plan that has never
been tried before, and one that, 1t is
claimed, will bring the valued animals
of the desert under the hand of man.
Shooting is the method proposed, but
by that the inventors of the new scheme
do not mean to injure the animals in
the least. Their secret lies in the am
munition to be used.
A bullet tipped with magnesium and
containing a gelatine capsule filled with
a narcotic drug, it is claimed, will tenn
porarily deprive the horses of the pow
er of locomotion long enough to place
the fetters of captivity on the animals.
The magnesium, it has been found, dis
solves in the flesh and causes no
permanent injury if vital organ is
not penetrated.
If this unique plan proves successful
for the capture of the wild mustangs
that roam the ranges near Ely, it is
likely to come into general use among
residents of that city who have made
it practice to gather animals for the
eastern markets.

Governor Oddie has vetoed the
amendment to the anti-gambling law

the amended bill is that 1t conflicts

Although there are still many reports
from the north concerning the gold
discovery at Fort Sage Mountain,
none of the prospectors returning from
the scene of the discovery seem very
enthusiastic over it. They have

take more development to show any

Due to the improved tre-fghtinl
facilities the insurance underwriters
have announced that they had reduced
the insurance rates on brick and other
buildings of like nature in the busl-
hess district of Reno. Under this new
rate the business men can with few
exceptions secure insurance for three
years for the same cost as that paid
for insurance for two years heretofore.
This new insurance rate is the same as
that on dwellings in the city, with the
exception that the rate on dwellings in
cludes the furniture as we'll as the
home.

THE CITYS SEWERAGE LINE
The Council Already Preparin
For Its Installation. Plans
Are Being Prepared.

City Engineer E. P. Osgood is pre-
pairing plans and specifications for TIN
proposed city sewerage system, calling
for either cement pipe to be used il
the system or the usual standard vitri
fled sewer pipe. 1t is pointed out b
Mr.. Osgood that cement pipe woulc
be somewhat cheaper than any othel
efficient type and perhaps quite as last
ing. By using cement and making the
pipe at home, much of the money thai
would otherwise be sent away to outsidc
manufacturers would thus be kept al
home.
Some might say, according to Mr..
Osgood, that alkali would cause the
disintegration of cement pipe, but so far
no known instance of this kind has
happened in this project, although ce-
ment has been generally used in prof.
ect construction. 1t seems to be as
defined to this paper, simply a matter
of equal relative efficiency, with the
better of the argument on the side Of
the material that can be manufactured
at home.
In the meantime, the city officials
have not been idle, but have secured
two sites, either one of which may be
used as site for the installation of the
proposed septic tank. One of these, 9
two-acre tract owned by James Orchard,
and situated in the extreme southeast
part of town, is under option to the
city at the present time.

LOWER RATES FOR FAL LON
Wells-Fargo About To Give The
Shippers OF This Valley
Better Rates.

The Wells-Fargo express rates out of
Fallon on eggs, butter, fruit and vege-
tables to points within Nevada are
shortly to be lowered to point that
will allow of the shippers of this valley
enjoying the same rates as are accord
ed Reno. Heretofore, this has not
been possible as Reno has been materi-
ally favored in the adjustment of ex-
press rates-favored to that degree that
made it impossible for the producers of
this valley to successfully compete with
Reno shippers in the markets of the
state.
Recently, r. Eichelberger, an official
of the express company visited Fallon
and his observations here formed the
basis of strong recommendation that
Fallon shoald be given more favorable
treatment by the Wells-Fargo express
company. In the meantime, Superin-
tendent Shelby took the matter up ac-
lively and now new and lower Falon
express rates are in the making.

on homestead in the Soda Lake dis
trict, passed away at his home yester-

Deceased was an exemplary man, a
devoted father and husband. He came
here early last fall imbued with the
idea of hewng out home In the desert
and his efforts were honest and indus-
trious. Shortly after his arrival here
he was elected school clerk of Soda
Lake district, the duties of which he
continued to discharge up to the time
of taking down with his fatal illness.
Governor 7. l.. Oddie vetoed the free
school textbook bill, which provided
that children attending school in the
various grades up to and including the
sixth should be furnished textbooks
printed at the state printing Office with
out cost to the children.

More than $4,000 had registered and

tional Grand Army Posts. The weather
was ideal for the long march.

carrying flags that saw service in the

spectators to pity.
Not all of the veterans were equal
to the task of covering the entire line
of march and scores of them dropped
out before the parade reached ths
stand in Washington Square where
President Taft reviewed the slowly
moving line. The parade halted at
frequent intervals to give the veterans
an opportunity to rest.
Many veterans collapsed or were
injured in the days parade and were
taken to hospitals.

IT is MURDER.
August Jacobson Of New
Sweden Not a Suicide
But Was BTuia|Iy Murdered,
Says The CoroneI's Jury.
Man Under Suspicion and an Ar
rest Is Soon Expected.

New Sweden Me. Aug. "a YER
dict that August Jacobson did not
commit suicide, but was brutally muir
dered was signed early today by the
coroner's jury which investigated the
death of Mr. jacobson, a New Swed-
en- farmer. whose body was found be-
hind his house on the morning of
June Il.
1t was at first supposed he had
taken his own life, but this week the
county officials decided as a result of
their Investigations to exhume the
body. This was done and last night S
inquest followed.
A number of witnesses were exam
ined between and IL o'clock and the
jurymen deliberated more than two
hours before reaching their decision.
They found that jacobson met his
death by four rife shots, the deed be-
ing done by someone unknown to
them.
No arrests had been made up to
this morning. Two of the shots were
in the head and two in the body.
At the time the body was found
Coroner w. f. Buzzeil of Houlton re-
ceived word from a medical examin-
er that Mr. Jacobson had committed
suicide and consequently no investi-
CATION was made by the coroner at
that time.
He was assisted at the inquest last
night by County Attorney Perley
Brown of Pressure Isle and Sheriff Ell
mer G. Bryson of Houlton.
The impression seemed to prevail
that an arrest would be made soon.
One of the witnesses at the inquest
who works for another farmer near
the Jacobson place, was unable to
satisfactorily explain where he was
during two hours of the night on
which the shooting took place, accord
ing to the officials and 1t was alleged
that he was not on good terms with
jacobson.
1t is supposed that Jacobson, who
was about SIS years of age, was sitting
on the fence back of his house when
two shots were fired, entering his body
just below the chest. that he fell on
to the bround, face downward, and his
assailant, seeing he was not dead, fired
two more shots through the back OF
his head. f.e
Jacobson was insured for $1,000.
