Met Death In Hot Starch.
A fearful death was that OF a man
named John Baird at a mill In New
York. As he bent over large vat
filled with boiling starch, he slipped
and fell into the hot mixture. He was
literally boiled to death before work.
men dragged his body from the vat
with hooks attached to a rope. The
hot starch had reduced the mans
clothing to fragments.

PERFUMED FRUIT

A most weird looking fruit is
the five fingered orange. 1t
grows in exactly the shape of a
half open hand Even the nails are
indentical hard pointed and claw
like. tipping the orange flowers
with length equal in some cases
to three inches.
1t is no freak but a proper kind
of orange belonging to a rugg c d
little shrub that does not average
more than five or six feet in
height in its native home, Japan.
1t does not grow straight as the
ordinary orange tree should, but is
curved in all directions.
Even the branches grow in
spiral or twisted forms so that
the width of the tree is often
greater than the height. The
fruit itself is of a pale yellow
co Tor of pure lemon hue,
growing greeLish toward the stem
The size is immense considering
the smallness of the tree, the
largest ones easuring wrtr
mature fully ten inches from the
wrist TO the point of the midi
finger including the nail.
But the fruit is not good to cal
though wnat it lacks in flavor ii
moro than makes good in perfume
Perhaps the strangest thing aoout
this perfume is that it is the fruit
and not tie flowers that is odorous

A SNAKE STORY

The following snake story comes
from Keytesville, Missouri:
Thirty years ago the Millizer
family lived on fam on the
Charlston river. Among the
possessions of Mr.. MilIizer were
two large bull snakes, each about
eight feet long, which he had
trained 10 do tricks.
he became much attached to
them and when the family moved
to Arkansas, Millizer insisted the
snakes must go along.
Three weeks ago the snakes
returned and took up their abode
in the hollow sycamore tree that
WIS their home before their
removal to Arkansas.
The new owner of tho farm
measured the snakes and found
they had each grown to nearly IL
ieet.

Deputy State Engineer Van

last night and this afternoon he
honored this Office with pleasant
call.
In conversation with him, we
learned that he had been in this
county the last three weeks inter-
viewing water users on the Hum
boldt and It's tributaries with
the view Of clearing up the
water situation and putting the
water rights on better basis.
He said that he had interviewed
all the water users from the head
Of the Humboldt and it's tribu-
taries es far uest as Elko and that
he found no opposition tn the plan
of the state engineers office.
All the expense, he said, the
ranchers would bear in the
proposed plan was to provide maps
of their bitches and the land they
we're irrigating and that all other
expenses would be taken care Of
by the Office.
He requested us particularly to
state that If he had missed any of
the water users on the Humboldt
and its tributaries he wished they
would communicate with the state
engineers Office.

SHERIFF HARRIS DID RIGHT

IL gives Us pleasure to publish
the following editorial from the

The action of Sheriff Joseph

game at Elko should meet with the
approval of the people of this

- in the suppression of
the 6 hich were running in
Violatio defiance Of the law.
Long ago he gave positive. notice
that he would not tolerate gamb-
ling in this county. and that
whenever he secured sufficient
evidence he would act. For some
time the games at the Commercial
hotel had been in operation, but
the sheriff. had been unable until
last Friday to catch them in the
act. When the opportunity did
present itself he acted and without
fear of the consequences. Some
people in ElkO are putting up the
argument that the games should
not have been raided at that
particular time because there
happened TO be some eastern
mill0naires engaged behind locked
doors in violating the laws of
Nevada. They would have the
sheriff inform these millionaires
that they must not play. They
would have him go TO ;he gamb.
ling games. tell them to get out of
the room and await some other
chance to catch the games in
operation. thusly comJounding
felony. No doubt these same
people would have him not molest
the Chinese who were playing be-
cause il might lead to compli-
cations with China. No doubt they
wo nd have him not molest the
dealers hehind the games because
they were good fellows" those
millionaircs had no right to be
there; they knew il was wrong to
gamble in Nevada. The very fact
that the doors were locked and the
game secretly operated, taught
them that. II man commits
murder, robbery, or any other
cirme. he cannot plead ignorance
of the law as an excuse and
neither can these CastCrn mil
lionaires plead ignorance in this
case in cXtenuation Of their crime.
Sheriff Harris did righ. in raiding
the game; an opportunity had
offered itself when he could get
the men with the goods" and he
is TO be commended in his action.
The passage of the gambling law
has not injured Nevada; it has put
money in many mans pocket,
who never had much there before,
and it should he enforced to the
letter.
