FRANK BAKER, WORLDS
SERIES HERO, A HUMAN
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

J.. Franklin Baker, the man
whose home runs won the recent
worlds championship for the
Athletics, would be astonished if
he was spoken of as a great
teacher. Yet he recently uttered
a truth which should be i'm
pressed upon the mind of every
boy in the United States. Here
Is what the greatest popular hero
of the American small boy has
to say;
II don't drink, nor smoke.
Never did drink or smoke. IL
any youngster wants advice from
one who doesn't NEAR to preach,
there it is. Leave cigarettes or
tobacco in any form alone and
don't touch booze now or at
any time. It's the usual advice
and doesn't carry much weight
as a rule, but coming from a ball
player, perhaps it may mean a
little more to the American kids.
There is no rule about smok-
ing in the big league. They don't
care for you to smoke in uniform,
though. Some smoke, ONE don't
touch tobacco. The managers
think the men are old enough to
know their own minds about
such things. Mine is the total
abstinence platform for both
booze and tobacco"

FRANK FARRELL REFUSED
$4,000 FOR KELLER YEAR
BEFORE WILLIE SLIPPED

Because it could not be de-
termined whether Keller had
seen his best days or not the
New York Americans three
years ago lost a chance TO sell
the little right fielder to the
Cincinnati Club for SIS, 900 cash.
Keller had slowed up. but it was
thought that illness had been "a
serious handicap. Keller in
sisted that he would come
back" as fast as ever. SO when
Garry Hermann offered $15 5000
for The crack players release
the New York Club was afraid
to accept it. The following
spring it quickly developed that
Keller had seen his best days,
and, as nobody wanted him, he
was released outright. President
Farrell told this story the other
day for the first time.

U. S. STUDYING LAND
HOLDUPS OF ESPEE

Edward Doyle a special agent
of the U. s. general land Office, was
in Winnemucca getting data and
investigating the Southern Pacific
railway. and especially the lands
known to be mineral bearing and
which ale alleged to have been
frauduletly patented by the rail-
road company.
The lands were part of the
original grant from the government
when the Souther Pacific was first
constituted through the state, and
included every odd section for
twenty miles on each side of the
company's right of way.-Hum-

FAMOUS OLD WARRIOR
MAY DANCE ONCE MORE

Doc" the ancient medicine
man of the Shoshones, who is a
sort of repository of tribal tradi-
tions and a Ginning light at the
annual fandagoes of the tribe,
proposes ~ do a war dance here on
the Fourth says the Manhattan
Post. Docs proposition sounds
something like this.
Zone white man give four bits.
Nunner white man give two bits.
Manner white man give four bits. "
and so on. There is some
redundance in the wording of
Docs offer, but it is to the effect
that if enough white man" fall in
with the idea he will supply all
the accessories and produce the
war dance in traditional stye. 70.
There is no doubt that if Doc is
on hand with the goods he will
meet with generous response.
Doc has long since lost track of
his age. but it is believed that he
is close to the century mark. And
despite his years he is still quite
active and good for many more
war dances. At the fandango held
in the alley year ago the writer
saw him dance for over two hours
at stretch and apparently was
little fatigued when the dance
ended.
Indians all over southern Nevada
are planning to come here for the
Fourth and in all probability
several hundreds will be on hand
to take part in the Indian events
and the Big barbecue.

CHECK MAN GETS TWO YEARS

Joe Savoy, who entered plea
of guilty to fraudulent use of the
mails, was yesterday afternoon
sentenced to two years at Nc
Neil's Island, and q fine of $500.
He was taken to Reno last eve ling
together with another Federal
prisoner and will be sent to the
Island.
Savoy. together with Cook, was
arrested for attempting to pass
Belmont pay checks. Had the
plan succeeded they would have
raked off a small fortune. Cook
stood trial and Attorney Finch of
this city cleared him of the charge.
The fact that Savoy took all the
blame and cleared Cook. to a
certain extent helped his cause. -

GETS RESULTS BY
DRY FARMING

S. H. Voltaire, who some time
ago acquired a tract of land just
east of town and is now cultivat-
ing large portion of the land by
the su-called dry farming methods,
is very much pleased with the
results so far obtained. He states
that all the crops that he planted
this season arc doing fine without
irrigation. depending entirely on
what rain falls and the moisture of
the ground. Potatoes are up
from eight to ten inches high,
squash vines are about ready Ia
run and trial set of alfalfa hay
is three inches high and gives
c. cry evidence of maturing.
Other vegetables that he has
planted are looking we'll and he
believes that his project is going
to be grand success. On account
of the land not being fenced. Mr..
Vo!taire says ne has, had cona;dcr.
able trouble with the rabbits in his
garden. but he says this will be
overcome when the land is fenced.
In speaking of dry farming in
general Mr.. Voltaire states that if
the seed recommended by the
government is used he believes
that dry farming will be made a
success in many sections through
out the state. H umboldt Star,

j MAY HAVE DROWNED.

An ltalin is supposed 10 have
been drowned at the E. S. Harri-
man ranch nine miles above Fallon
last Wednesday night. His
name was Monte, and he was one
of the partners having part of
the Harriman ranch leased, and
relative of the family of the same
name at Wadsworth.
The man had been afflicted with
what is believed to be walking
typhoid and had been acting queer,
as if out of his head. During the
night he was heard to get up and
leave the house. He had no
clothes on except All undcrsuit,
and in his bare feet he ran to the
river and apparently jumped in.
To all appearances he came out of
the river 20 yards below, but as
there is grass all along the bank
il was impossible to tell whether
he went hack into the river or not.
How ever, no trace of him could
be found though diligent search
has been kept up since his disap.
pearance. The river is very high
and quite wide at that point,
which makes it almost i'm possible
to drag the stream Eagle.

HONESTY EXTRAORDINARY

A traveller writing in an Italian
magazine says that the Swiss
canton of Ticino is inhabited by the
most honest folk it is possible to
imagine In most of the Ticinese
villages, the writer says the oldest
inhabitants do not remember any
case of thieving, however petty
within a lifetime. Lost objects
when found must never be taken
away;they must be left where they
were dropped or placed in a con.
spicuous position so that the right
full owner can fird his property
more easily. The case is cited Of
an American woman tourist who
lost her purse on an excursion in
the Val Capriasca. The purse con-
taids1 gold coin and a jeweled
watch. Upon returning from her
trip she found her purse with its
contents intact on a little heap of
leaves, SO placed that it could not
fail to attract her attention.-New

DISTRICT COURT

was making motion for Judge
Averill to instruct the jury to
bring a verdict of acquittal. He
based his motion or several
grounds, one of which was that the
crime had not been proven. The
motion was denied by the court.
While the motions to strike out
parts of the evidence and the
motion to instruct the jury were
being made, the jury was excluded
from the court room. When the
motions were denied by the court,
the, jury was brought in and the
Dye case went on.
The. defense waived an opening
statement and called Mrs. A. K.
Rose. She testified that the floor
of the burned store was badly
Uttered with rubbish the after
noon before the fire.
G. w. Wragg. a travelling sales
man of the Pacific Hardware COM
pany was the next witness. He

about the floor. Also that some of
those in the store were smoking
cigarettes and that he saw cigar
etts stumps and lighted matches
thrown on the floor among the
rubbish.
Manuel Antonio was the next
witness. He testified about Dyes
dogs being on the streets
frequently when Dye was not
around. He fed the dog, Noble,
frequently and called him a tramp
dog.

Banks GUARDED bv soIdi.rs.

Like the Bank of England, the Bank
OF France is now guarded every night
by soldiers, who do sentry duty out
side the building, a watch being like
wise kept inside its precincts But
within quite recent time the officials
at the French bank resorted to a very
novel method of protecting their bull
lion. This consisted In engaging ma
sons to wall up the doors of the vaults
IN the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day In these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept running
until the whole cellar was flooded. A
burglar would be obliged to work in a
diving suit and break down a cement
wall before he could even begin to
plumber the vaults. When the bank
officials arrived next morning the wa
ter was drawn off, the masonry torn
down and the vaults opened. Curl
ously enough. within a few months
after this obsolete maner of protecting
the banks cash was done away with,
burglars did actually get into the
vaults and decamp with about $45, 900
