All the Indian dresses worn by the

Many years ago you white people
immigrated into the west, where there

travelled with oxens and with wagons

in the parade saturday, they bought
our furs and other things and horse
but at that time the indians did not
know the value of gold and silver.

HIGH GRADE ORE
TAKEN At HAzEN
WESTERN ORE PURCHASING co
OF HAZEN is VICTIM
OF BOLD THEFT.

FALLON. New, Feb. 25.-High
grade ore to the amount of about
|15OO pounds was on last Friday
stolen from the works of the Vest
ern Ore Purchasing company at
'Hazen, and but for the cleverness
|of Officers Sanford and LIGHTHOUSE
|of this place the thieves would have
carried away their plumber without
lany interference The two men who
stole the high grade, valued at sew
|eral thousand dollars, give the
names of Lindsay and Cooley, and
are now in Jail here, while a third
man, giving the name of Harry
Pohn, is in Jail in San Francisco,
also charged with stealing high
grade from the Western Purchasing
company.
The officers believe that they
have captured all the men impli-
Gated in the footing of the com
pany and will prosecute these men
+ vigorously.
1t appears that some time ago
five sacks of high grade were stol-
en- from the Western Ore Purchas-
\ ing company, and carried to a
point north of Lovelock, where the
ore was placed in a cache. The
men who stole this ore then plan
+ ned to steal more ore and came to
.Fallon and entered into negotiations
with a Fallon citizen to put VI
4 the necessary money to carry away
the high grade.
This man turned them over to
Officers LIGHTHOUSE and Sanford, but
they did not know that the two men
were officers. They therefore en-
tered into a scheme with them
whereby they We're to steal the
high grade from the plant at
4 Hazen, and the Fallon men were
to pay the expenses of hauling the
ore to point north of Lovelock,
where it was to be cashed. The
6Fallon officers pretended they wer,
F in on the theft and allowed the
men to steal the ore, when they ar
rested them and lodged them in the
Fallon jail.
The first ore stolen and carried
& to Lovelock has been recovered, as
5 has the ore taken at the time Tho
men were arrested.
