FOURTEEN HOUSAND SPAWN
ARRIVED SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

A. A. Oldenbaugh, state superin-
tendent of the fish commission, ar
rived Saturday afternoon from Verdi
with seven cans of spawn fish to
stock Nye county's streams. There
were 1000 fish in each can, or a
total of 1900.
County Commissioner Humphrey
took charge of the consignment and
rushed the trout out to Peayine.
Twin and other streams in northern
and eastern Nye county. While in
transit the trout are packed in ice
and have to be kept at an even
temperature. There were two va
rleties in this shipment and only
seven or eight died en- the way to
Ionopah. In year and half
these stock trout will be six inches
in length. The greatest of care
has to be exercised not to let the
water stand still in which they are
shipped and has to be constantly
agitated and freshened.

Leader Mann insisted that the SEN
ate, as the body agreeing to the

voted to accept the report, however,
but to avoid a repetition of the per-

Notwithstanding the desire of the

hold together for that purpose after

NINA RESIDENCE
IS DYNAMITED
EXPLOSIVE is PLACED IN RANGE
IN THE HOME OF JACOB
REUDY.

NINA, Nev., Aug. 14.-An at
tempt was made at o'clock Sat
urday morning to blow up the resi-
dence of Jacob Reudy A stick of
dynamite had been placed in the
kitchen stove by unknown persons.
and when it exploded the kitchen
was wrecked, but the balance of
the building escaped injury Nobody
was injured although two people
had narrow escapes.
The kitchen range had not been
used for some time as Mrs. Reudy
is visiting in lone, Cal. An Indian
squaw came to the house the same
morning for the purpose of doing
some washing. She started fire
in the range and placed a boiler
cf water on the stove. She had
hardly left the kitchen when the
dynamite exploded with a roar. The
stove was shattered to small bits.
while the rear part of the building
was wrecked The prompt arrival
of neighbors saved the building from
destruction by fire.
Frank Ford, deputy sheriff. was
sleeping in the front of the resi-
dence and escaped uninjured.
Jacob Reudy the owner of the
house was working when the ex-
plosion occurred. No reason is
known for the placing of the dyna-
mite stick in the range, as Reudy
has no enemies here as Tar as can
be ascertained.
