RAISES RYE BY DRY FARMING

A. M. Gray is in town from

taken up half section of land
under the desert act. Mr.. Gray
left at this office sheaf Of rye

the dry farming experiments by a

taken up land in that part of tho
Quinn River valley have proved
quite successful this year and
several of them have good stands
of wheat, which will make fine
pasture. But they do not intend
to depend upon dry farming as a
means of cultivation Of their land.

Lower Niger territory, which for
its efficacy might be compared with

adopted by judicial authorizes in
Laputa we telieve to discover con-
spirators.
If native is accused of theft
the heads of the village make
a decoction Of herbs and put into
the essence about grain Of
ground pepper.
The liquid is then lightly
applied to the eyelid. If the
suspect weeps, he is considered
guilty.
But the murder test is an i'm
provement upon that of theft.

draws vessel Of water into which
he puts some poison. Then he
takes a cows tail and "asperges"
the eyes of the supposed assassin.
If the man becames blind he is

A CORRECTION

In yesterdays report of the
proceedings in the district court,
we made it appear that Mr.. Dysart
denied that he had drawn an
agreement by which Dye was to be
granted immunity for his con.
fession and shortly afterward
admitted the existence of such 8
paper. While this is true in
a way, it does not state all the
conditions. The defense was
inquiring into the interview
between Mr.. Dysart and Dye in
the forenoon of the day the con.
fession was made. At that time
no agreement had been drawn and
it was to that time Mr.. Dysart
referred when he said no agree.
ment had been drawn. He drew
the agreement after leaving Dye
and before his interview with Dye
in the afternoon. He referred to
the second interview in his reply
to Judge Perky.

RENO'S BIG CELEBRATION

The people of Washoe county are
going to have a big time at Reno
on the Fourth of July. 1t will be
the 5Oth anniversary Of the county
and the celebration will be an
event that will remain in the
memory for long time.
One of the features of the
celebration and a novel one in this
state will be Eugene Ely, the fear
less aviator. flying over the city.
The committee in a circular say:
Rather than accept an unknown
aviator who might disappoint the
great crowds of people who will
attend the committee in charge of
the celebration have gone to great
expense in securing Eugene Ely
who ranks among the first of the
worlds aviators. Ely is a man
who received ST. much favorable
comment for his preference at the
flight in San Francisco some time
ago. when he flew out through the
Golden Gate and landed on the
deck Of the battleship PENNSYLVANIA
and returned through the harbor.
No admission will be charged for
witnessing the flights and they will
be right in the city so that there
Will not be any inconvenience in
getting conveyances to see the
exhibition. An ideal spot had
been prepared on the banks of the
Truckee River where all can see.
There will be several flights and
landings, and the evolutions will so
perform as to provide the greatest
possible intertainmcnt for the
spectators. Ely will circle the
city swoop down close to the
crowds and raise to an elc, alton
almost out of sight. If you have a
pair of field glasses take them
along.
At his exhibition last week at
Eureka, California, Ely made
wonderful flight in gale of wind
blowing 45 miles an hour. He rose
to height of 1906 feet and made
four circles high in the air at ore
time going out over the breakers
on the beach. On his retrun he
landed within foot of his starting
point coming to earth easily and
gracefully without jar holding

DISTRICT COURT

Mr.. SeWal was on the stand Mon
day Afternoon when the recess was
taken. His examination was con.
cluded and Judge Perky took the
stand and testified in regard to
the attorneys of Elko being EN-.
pleyed by Mr.. Sewell or being dis
qualified to accept retainer from
the defense. In regard to being
retained by Mr.. Primeaux, he
stated that he was not retained
by him only SO far as his ARA ign.
ment was concerned. That he
could not represent Mr.. Primeaux
If his defense conf1icted with that
of Dye.
At s o'clock Judge Averill ad-
journed court until 1880 o'clock.
At the evening session, District
Attorney Dysart was called to
testify regarding the interviews he
had with Dye in regard to the max
ing Of the confession. Dye wanted
written contract to the effect
that he would be released from
lail and the charge against him
dismissed in return for making a
confession Mr.. Dysart would not
agree to this but informed Dye
that if he made a truthful state
ment and testified before the
grand jury and at the trial of the
other defendants as a willing
witness he would then dismiss his
case. Dye said that he wanted to
think it over and 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon was fixed for the next
lnterv lew. At that interview the
confession was made but Dye
refused to sign. At one of these
interviews it developed that an
understanding was arrived at on
the suggestion of Mr.. Sewell by
which Dye was to have his liberty
in the day time in custody of
an officer and be locked up in Jail
at night if he made the confession
and signed it, Mr.. Sewell to pay
the officer. Mr.. Dysart consented
to this providing satisfactory ar
rang ements could be made. This
understanding was not carried out
because Of Dyes refusal to sign
the confession.
Jack Shields was the next
witness. He told about conversa-
tions he had had with Frank
Anderson and Dave Wilson in
regard to Dyes confession. His
evidence was offered to impeach
Wilson and Anderson in regard to
statements they are alleged to
have made and which they denied
on the witness stand. At the
conclusion of his examination,
court adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.
When court convened this fore
noon, L. P. McManus was called
to impeach the evidence of
Frank Anderson in regard to
certain statements he had made.
After him came Frank Anderson.
He was asked about certain
statement he is alleged to have
made Saturday Afternoon in the
presence of Jack Shields and f. A.
p. johnson, in which he was re-
ported to have said that Johnson
had never aksed him to assist in
framing up confession by Dye
and that the confession was

any such statement as alleged.
Mr.. Shields was recalled and
testified that Anderson had made
the statement to Johnson as stated
above.
