despite the utmost efforts Of the

Mrs. SimOnds' who was return

pressed her mount to its utmost

Mrs. Miller crossed the inter

Simonds was but 20 yards distant.
This lead was disposed Of within. a

REAL ESTATE NOT ASSESSED

From what we have heard since

that body was badly misled IN

ownership that is not sesse ed.
One ranch in particular that the
jurors were told that was not
assessed this years is on the assess
ment roll but to different parties
than ii was assessed TO last year.
Other pieces of real estate may be
found the some. Then there is a
great deal of lard in the county

in the name of individuals that has
been forfeited to the state.
Thousands Of acres of this land
stands in the name of one of u

since been turned back to the
state. The forfeiture would not
show on the records's books.
There are doubtless others
instances Of the same kind. In

of them are absolutely worthless

HUGE GUNS WILL
SHOOT FIFTEEN MILES

Think of a gun which will hurl
a 400 pound projectile through
nine inches of the best face
hardened steel 15 miles away from
where 1t is fired, This is what
Uncle Sans new guns will do.
They will shoot beyond the horizon.
In other words the range of the
monsterous with which the two
new battleships, New York and
Texas. will be equipped is greater
than il is possible to see a target
the size of a ship of the Delaware
type. Under the rost favorable
conditions not even the tall masts
of the Delaware could be seen
from a ship of the same size Is
miles away. And the new l4-inch
guns are effective at that range.
The navy department has just
completed a successful test of
gun and work will go forward at
once in the Washington factory
to make the 20 huge weapons
needed for the two vessels.
The recent test made with the
naval service, l2-inch gun on the
old battlaship Texas in Chesapeake
bay showed that the efficiency Of
the sunmakers had reached a high
state. Those 12-inch guns literally
made a sieve of the Texas AT a
range of $4,000 yards, or six
miles. 1t was the longest range at
which actual shooting had ever
been done. Eight to ten miles is
about the maximum for these
guns
The new l4-inch guns weight is
63.G tons. The diameter at the
breech or butt is Al inches and at
the muzzle 81 inches. The cost
of one gun and breech is $74,77O.
The carriage upon which the gun
will be mounted in the tIrrct of
the vessel will cost $50, 900.
The projectile weighs I,IOo
pounds and is sc inches, or five

THE BASKET BALL GAMES

We set up an item Yesterday in
regard to the hasket ball games
between Elko and Reno, but when
we read the proof we found that
it was badly off. So here goes for
another.
The games Friday and Saturday
nights were well played by the
home boys or else the Reno team
played very poo ball. This is
shown by the scores. Friday night
the home team pi ed up a scure of
AZ 10 l8 and the next night they
won by a score of &c to IL.
The Reno boys. according to the
report in the Sagebrush, think the
Elko boys were rather rough in
their play and that accidents to
their players w5re the causes of
their defeats. But with these
stings, they say that they were
treated well and had a splendid
time. The boys probably came
here with the idea that they would
wipe the Elko hJys off the earth
and we're so badly whipped that
they thought in necessary to have
some excuse. Hence the charge
that they we're rough-housed.

HIS WOODEN LEG A BEE HIVE
Prisoner Who Carries Bees With Him
Explains That He Must Have Per-
petuaI SupplY of Honey.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-The only
living human bee hive, who carries
a swarm of trained bees with him
everywhere he goes, is on exhibition
at the county jail. Mark o. Denni-
son is the man who owns the bees.
The hive is in his wooden leg.
The deputy sheriffs found him
sleeping in Wade park. When they
attempted to arrest him he turned
the whole swarm of bees upon them,
although they are tame and perfectly
harmless when their owner tells
them to be. They are trained to use
their singers only when Dennison
consideres his peace is threatened.
UcOboo is the war captain of the
bees, and to him Dennison gives his
orders.
Coyle and Burns, after cOnsidera-
bic cOaXing, got Mark to call off the
bees, and one by one they returned
to the hive through small holes that
act as entrances to the interior of
the false leg.
The reason Dennison carries the
swarm with him is because he likes
honey. He says he would die if he
didn't have honey to eat every two
or three days

DON'T WEAR WHITE IN SUMMER
1t Is Said That CoIOrs Are Found
to Be Much More Comfortable.

Is white the proper color to wear
in the dog days? The New York
Times doubts it and says: The army
has discovered by actual Their
mometer tests that blue or yellow
tents show a difference of interior
temperature amounting sometimes
to full 10 degrees when standing be-
side white ones in the full blaze of
the southern sun. Down in Panama
all the administration houses, bar
racks and shops are painted almost
black and the occupants have al
ready lost the feeling that this color
is lugubrious because they have
learned that black houses are cool,
or at least cooler, than those of any
other color, and that white houses
are the hottest of all
1t must be noted, too, that white
reflects or transmits the short length
or actinic light rays, while the dark
er tints do it either not at all or to
a less extent. Those are the rays,
we know, that cause the dematitis
known as 'sunburn," and there are
excellent reasons for believing that
from them, rather than from the
heat rays, come most of our summer
sufferings.
