INSANE MAN SHOWS FIGHT

An insane man by the name of
Barnett was brought to Reno today
from White Pine county and had
no sooner landed in the asylum
than he commenced to fight. He
attacked another inmate of the
asylum and was finally placed n q
padded cell.
This same man started a riot in
the court house at Ely last Satur-
day and put the insanity comm is-
sion to flight while he was being
examined. He was sitting in the
court room being examined when
one of his violont spells came on.
He jumped from his chair and
ran at Judge Coleman who, it is
said fled for his chambers and bar
ricaded his door. In the meantime
Attorney McFadden leaped q tab lie
an got away, Deputy Sheriff Maup-
in followed byCommissioners Stew
ems and Wheeler, the county clerk,
and Drs. Brock and Woods beat it
for the corrider of the court house
and Dave McClain, the deputy con-
stable, remained and fought with
the insane man. Finally Deputy
Sheriff Maupin returned and to-
gether they subdued the crazy man
and handcuffed him.
1t is stated that the examination
of the man was not finished but
that the two physicians certified
to the mans insanity without any
further examination.-Gazette.

TWO WOMEN

In her book"Woman and Labor"
Olive Schreiner gives an amusing
illustration of the fact that it is
not the amount of money a person
has which makes him or her a par
asite on society, but the way it is
used.
The wife of an American mil
lionare. Says Mrs. Schreiner, was
visited by woman. the daughter
and widow of small professional
man. She stated that she was in
need Of both food and clothing.
The millionaire's wife gave her a
leg of mutton and two valuable
dresses. The woman proceeded to
whine. though in vigorous health,
that she had no one to carry them
home for her. The American the
descendant of generations of able,
laboring. New England Puritan
women. tucked the leg Of mutton
under one arm and the bundle of
clothes under the other and walked

RE-FOREST|NG NEVADA Hills

Two hundred and fifty acres of
the mountain side of Snake Creek
in the Snake division of the Ne
vada forest. will be planted with
seed of the yellow pine by the for
est service under the direction of
Deputy Supervisor Dlffenbach. In
addition to the seed l 900 one and
t~o-year-old pine seedlings will! be
planted in the same vicinity.
This work of reforesting the re-
serves is part of the regular scheme
of the government and was first at
tempted in this county near the
Berry creek station. There are a
large number Of two-year-old seed
lings of yellow pine. fir and other
varieties of trees were planted.
The yellow pine planting was fail
ure hut about IS per cent of the
other seedlings took to the soil and
f1ourished. Ten acres were planted
with yellow and lodge pole pine
seed with which better luck was
had.
Small areas of the ground were
measured off after the seeds began
to sprout and the number of
sprouts counted. From the figures
obtained it is estimated that there
will be 1000 trees to the acre if
Ill those that got start will sur

Transference Of HAT.

singular phenomenon Is TO be
noted In iron working establishments.
A bar OF iron is taken by the end
and the other end is plunged into a
hre, heating II strongly. but not so
much that the hand cannot retain it's
hold. The heated end is then
plunged into n pail OF cold water.
Immediately the other end becomes
80 hot that II is impossible to hold
u. This phenomenon, familiar to
"orkmen In iron. Is ascribed by them
to some repellent action they suppose
the sudden cold eyerts upon the heat
contained in the iron. which is thus
driven to the opposite extremity.

TAFT'S TOY BOARD

The tariff board, upon which
President Taft is depending for
information about important
schedules is spending money at the
rate of $4,000 a month now on
the wool and cotton schedules. At
this rate AL of the money ap-
propriated to date, save about
$75. 900, will be gone when the
reports on wool and cotton are
ready for the president and con-
gress. 1t is the purpose of the
board to take up steel and leather
when the present program is out
of the way.
1t was said by one in a position

Italian drew revolver and fired
two shots at Munter. hitting him
botl' times in the right and left

been removed from the right
thigh, but that the second bullet

know what the shooting was about.
