CARELESS HUNTER
KILLS A HORSE

About every so often an incident
where some careless hunter wounds
or mains stock on ranches that
allows trespassing, is reported and
M. Jacobsen this week reports the
loss OF a young horse valued at
$4,000. The animal died from
the effects OF gunshot wound in
fiicted by one of a party of boys
who was shooting on the ranch Q
few days ago. The following
morning the injury to the horse
was detected when the colt could
not rise. A veterinary surgeon
was called and it was found that
rifle ball had entered the hip
ranging upward and lodged a
gainst the spine.
81 regret that it has become ne
cessary to prohibit all hunters
from my ranch" said Mr.. Jacobsen
when speaking of the affair "but
from now on / absolutely deny the
privilege to all persons and l in
tend to prosecute those who do not
heed my Published notice."
Mr.. Jacobsen is doing exactly
right. A hunter, at no time, has
the right to enter a mans field to
hunt and is directly violating the
law when he does. In the case a.
bove the culprit, finding nothing
else to test his craftsmanship on
selected $3.50 horse. A consign-
ment of salt from a number twelve
directed at his coat tail would have
telegraphed some useful knowledge
to the think tank of the l"hunter." s."

REGARDING
DOUGLAS co.

The assessor of each county is
required to furnish tbs surveyor
general with statistical report OF
the different products and the like
OF his respective county. The fol-
lowing statement of conditions OF
Douglas county for the year 1910
is taken from the surveyor gen.
erals report just issued:
1t gives the cultivated land in
this county as 26,479 acres; 20,-
O97 being given to the production
OF hay, from which S0,3SS tons of
bay was cut. One thousand acres
OF wheat produced 600 tons, 500
acres produced 600 tons of barley
1867 acres produced 7S4 lions of
oats; 4S0 acres to potatoes pro-
duoed $50 tons. During the year
the Cr tameli.s produced 476,90S
pounds of butter. The wool pro-
duction is given as 10000 pounds.
By statistics gathered privately
during the past year, of crop pro-
duction in Carson Valley and COM
pared with the average yield of
the United States it is found that
the local yield of grain per acre is
abount three times as great and
hay to be about four times as great
as the average national yield.
When further data on the matter
is completed the figures will be
published in order that an accurate
comparison can be made.

BASKET BALL
GAME TONIGHT
Reno High School Team Will Try
Conclusions With the Local
Players.

Tonight the Douglas High School
boys will battle with the Reno
High School team at Valhalla
Hall, 10 the of q series of
championship gar les.
The Reno High school has q
fast, strong team and no doubt the
game will be hard fought contest.
The local High School team Of
strong hardy players and are de-
termined to show the people that
they can play basket ball second
to none. A preliminary game will
be played which will add amuse-
ment to the occasion.
AS the team has already in
Cured some debt in the way of
goals, ball, etc. and because of the
heavy expense in bringing a team
from Reno, an admission of 35cts
will be charged. This being the
first game with team from a dis
tance the financing is somewhat
of an experiment, however if it is
seen possible, the admission to fol-
lowing games will be 25cts.
In view of the fact that several
more games will be scheduled it
might be well to give a brief dis
cription Of the game, since it is
comparatively new to this section.
Each team is composed of five
Iplayers, two forwards, one center,
and two guards. 1t is the busi-
ness of the forwards to cage the
ball and the business of the guards
to keep the opposing forwards
from caging the ball. The center
plays the entire field, throwing
baskets and guarding against
goals being made on the oppon-
sRt's side. This is the general
lineup and arrangement of play
ers, though any man on the team
may throw baskets. That the
game may be free from intentional
roughnsss and rowdyism, there are
certain restrictions and rules
which players must observe. A
player must not delay the game;
nor kick strike or hug the ball /;
nor tackle, hold, push, strike, kick,
shoulder, trip or hack his opponent;
nor address officials or use pro-
fame language. If player
violates these rules foul shall be
called on that player and the op.
posing team shall have q free
throw for the basket. When
thro wing a free throw the one
throwing stands on the 15ft line
and the players line up on either
side, forming lane six feet wide.
The person throwing then has a
free (unguarded) throw for the
basket. If the ball is Gagged it
counts one point, if not the ball is
in the play. In case a basket is
thrown from the field, mot a free
throw it counts two points. This
is in general the scheme of the
game, however there are more
limitations and rules which are of
specific nature.

BURLINGTON ASKS DAMAGES

The committee of the city council, COM

Schroeder, which has the claims Of prop
erty owners along the Bancroft street via
duct, will slice said claims untl they
won't be recognized. All told, damages ag-
gregating Sl45OO have been asked by prop
erty owners.
Chief among the claims IL one which
totals 5000. filed by the Burlington rail-
road. The railway officials are very mod
est in their demands In their statement
Nfiled they oplne that should the viaduct be
built they will be damaged to the extent
OF 1880 in that they will not be per-
mitted to make improvements contem-
plated. These Improvements are imaginary.
They also claim damages to the extent of
1850 I'm that their right-of-way will be
more hazardous and accidents will be liable
to occur with more frequency. The com
pany then winds up its modest demands
by asking the city to reimburse 1t to the
extent of 5000 expended for the cOnstruc-
ton of a subway ordered by the city coun-
ell in 1903. The Union Pacific, which was a
party TO the construction OF the subway
and bore part Of the expenses, is making nc
claims for damages.

in favor Of sticking TO the old figures as
nearly as possible.
