NO ACTION TAKEN IN RE-
GARD TO SKELETON FIND

District Attorney Callahan re-
turned yesterday from Lovelock,
where he went to investigate the
manner of death of the two skele-
tons found last week near that
town. Thursday Mr.. Callahan and
Coroner Hood drove out to where
the skeletons had been found and,
after considering the circumstances
came to the conclusion that the
bodies were those of Indians, the
remains having been carefully
buried and covered with tulies
which had been brought for the
purpose for more than a mile. From
the fact that the bones had begun
to decompose, it was evident that
they had lain there for at least
so years.
There was nothing to connect
the skeletons with the probable
crime committed in the vicinity some
eight years ago, when the finding
.of bloody clothing seemed to in
dictate that murder had been COM
mitted. The affair was inquired
into at the time by the Fallon au-
thorities, but as no bodies could be
found, the matter was dropped.-

EARLY DAY HISTORY
TOLD BY PIONEERS ]
OF HUN1BOLDTICOUNTY

The Loyelock Tribune: - The
Tribune in its irrigation edition., .
omitted an interesting bit of early
history. In 1853 Marion Howell
and his father, Jesse Howell, came
out from Wisconsin to California
on the old emigrant road that had
been established down the Humboldt
river ten years before.
For two years the Howells
freighted from Sacramento into Vir-
ginia City. They drove the first
bull team over the 60-mile canyon
road into Virginia City. They re-
ceiyed 10 cents a pound for freight.
One of the wheelers of their team
weighed 200 pounds more than a
ton and the 21O. They were worth
$500.
But it was the return of the
Badger men to the Big Meadows
contry with which we are most in
terested. Marion Howell was at
one time the heaviest taxpayer in
Humboldt county. Marion is now
7S years and was 81 when he
crossed the plains. His father died
at the old Wisconsin home, about
Is years ago. Jesse Howell pat
ented the first ranch in Humboldt
county, the property at Rye Patch,
now owned by John G. Taylor.
The Howells spent the winter of
1S61-62 in Humboldt City. At that
time the stage line into Unionville
had not been established. A man
came out on foot from Virginia City
with the mail from around the
Horn and charged so cents letter.
= He made the trip every six weeks.
Horses were scarce in those DAYS
and feed even more rare.
1t was in the summer of 1862
that the stage line from Virginia
City to Unionville was established.
There were three stations in the
Loyelock valley on this line. The
upper one was called "Oasis" and
was situated near the present Irish
American dam, where there was
ford to the river. Emigrant trains
sometimes switched to the west side
of the lake at this point. But
the stage road kept on the east
side all the way down.
The middle station was called

substantial cash payment was made,
with another to fall due in six
months
This property has been passed
around and walked over by pros
pectors and miners who have been
working on all sides of it for sew
eral years. 1t never had a pick
stuck into it till two years ago.
1t is said to be an immense mill
ing proposition, and ore of good
grade exposed to view which can
be shipped at point without mill
ing. 1t did not take Mr.. Gordon
long to make up his mind about
taking the property.
AS soon as he saw the result of
the samples he was ready to close
the deal. Mr.. Stowe was sum
moned to Lovelock last Wednesday
evening and the deal was closed
in that place Saturday afternoon.
The property contains an i'm
mense ore body. Samples taken
across So feet average 500 a ton.
Samples across four feet of the

Sort House" The walls showing
the ruins of a three-room struc-
ture still stand just south of the
road to Copperoid, three miles be-
low the Big Five reservoir.
The lower station situated about
where the old quartz mill stands at
the outlet of the lake was named
Murphy" The stage in those days
made seven miles an hour and sta
tions were close together.
The first station in the valley was
not kept by Blake, the one-time
blacksmith on the present towns,ta
of Lovelock, but it was located a.
Oasis, and was run by Cheeter
Smith and his brother Frank.
Cheeter was the telegraph operator
and his name was given him by
the Indian because he was such a
small man. He sent the first teie-
graph message out of Virginia City.
The telegraph line from Virginia
City to KNOXVILLE, following the
stage road was built that summer
of 1862. Some of those old poles
are still standing along the road
to Spring Valley. Cheeter S. Smith
was the operator at Oasis.
After wintering in Humboldt City
the Howells moved down to the low
er crossing of the Truckee, Wads-
worth was then called, and started
a ranch. One fall they took a
load of cabbage into Austin, New.
and sold it for sixteen hundred
dollars, getting forty cents a pound
for the vegetables.
They also cut blue joint hay on
the Big Meadows and sold it in
Ragtown on the Carson. where emil
grants got their first wash after
crossing the 4O-mile desert. They
received $3.50 a ton for the hay.
For many years the Howells con-
Quoted their ranch at Rye Patch.
The old Rye Patch mine was then in
its prime. Back in the SOS Andy
Westfall hauled down ten tons of
ore that netted in Swansea, Wales,
$1,000. This was the discovery in
the mine made by John Borland,
father of the Borland boys. This
was about the time of the coming
of the railroad and it cost $3.50
for the car to take that ten tons of
ore to San Francisco.

Boy Accused q Forgery

Charged with having raised the
amount of check which he cashed
at one of the Purdin banks, a
youth giving the name of Charlie
Charleston, seventeen years old,
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff G.
B. Welsh on Burlington train No.
7 soon after it reached Laclede last
Saturday afternoon.
He had been working for far
mer near Purdin and when he left
the farmer gave him a check for
1925, the amount due him. He
is alleged to have raised the amount
to 1925, and cashed it in Purdin
Saturday.
The change in the amount of the
check was discovered just after the
south-bound passenger train left
Purdin. AS the lad was missing,
it was suspected that he had gone
on the train and a message was
sent to Linneus to stop him. The
train had left Linneus. however,
and Deputy Sheriff Welsh was in
structed to look for him, and got
him. He was taken to Linneus
that evening and placed in the
county Jail to await trial.
According to the boys story, he
lis from Ghillicothe, ILL.,, but says
neither is willing to keep him. SC
he has been caring for himself for
the past three or four years.
