"TRUSTY" ENJOYS
BUT BRIEF LIBERTY

This morning Herman Johnson, a
trustv' at the county JAIL was set
to work clipping the courthouse lawn.
The morning was intensely warm, and
after working for an hour or two Her
man was seized with an irresistible
longing for the tall timber. In his
mind s eye he could feel the cooling
breezes tanning his heated brow, and
he finally became so infatuated with
the idea that he "edged away
He had not been gone long, however,
until Deputy Nofsinger discovered his
absence. Securing the assistance of
Constable Moore, the two officers start
ed out to capture the truant, going
in opposite directions. Constable
Moore thought the patch of willows in
the vicinity of the Western Pacific ma
terial yard the best substitute in the
vicinity for the "tall TIMBER and ac-
eordingly went down that way. As
he descended the hill to the yard he
was rewarded by sight of the fugi-
tive, who meekly returned to Jail and
was locked up.
Johnson was convicted last month
of having an opium "layout' in his
possession and was sentenced by Judge
Dunn to serve a hundred days in the
county jail He had worn out 25 days
of the time, and the weather will be
somewhat cooler when he again en-

BATTLE FOR LIFE
With Wild HORSES

Last Saturday Harry Hogue, min
ing man in the employ of Adamson &
turner, had narrow escape from
death while crossing the sand dunes ON
the cutoff from Winnemucca to the
new camp of Awakening.
While trudging along through the
sand, Hogue was discovered by a band
of wild horses, which run for him.
When within short distance of the
pedestrian all Of the band stood still,
with the exception of one stallion,
which began circling around and final
ly made dash for Hogue The man
had nothing to defend himself with ex-
cepting a walking stick and a water
bottle, which he used to the best ad-
vantage possible in fighting off the in
furiated beast In few moments the
bottle had been broken, when his only
defense was the stick and he had
given up all hopes of saving his lire,
when relief came from an entirely
unexpected quarter. Richard Brennan
was driving across the dunes, on
his way from Awakening to Winnie
mucca for supplies, and when it heard
the team approaching, the stallion
the fight.
Hogue was completely exhausted,
and stated that he could not have
held out minute longer. He was
picked up by Brennan and brought to
town.

AWAKENING MAY
HAVE 5-STAMP MILL

Awakening, in the slumbering
Hills, IA miles southwest of Cane
Springs, is rapidly developing into a
full-fledged mining camp. There are
at present about 100 men on the
ground, and several leases have been
taken on the original discovery, owned
by Scott and Maughum.
The town boasts of one saloon and
a store, and Tuesday Richard Brennan
left Winnemucca for camp with an
assaying outfit for Truett, Bray & Co.
R. NJ. Edmunds came in from the
camp Tuesday, returning yesterday
morning with number of miners and
a load of supplies. He states that he is
the owner of nine claims, which he ac
quired at the time of an excitement
at the same place several years ago,
and that the surface indications are
the finest he ever saw, going about $50
in gold to the ton.
Mr. Edmunds will at once begin
taking ont and piling pore, and if
enough can be secured to warrant it,
will bring fve-stamp mill from
Auburn canyon, with which the rock
will be reduced.
Prospectors visiting the camp are
warned to avoid the cutoff across the
sand dunes, unless positive they will
be able to get through. Although sew
eral miles further, it will be much saf-
er to go by way of Cane Springs.

School of Mines, who is spending the
day in Winnemucca, is making a re-
conaissance of the mining territory of
Humboldt county, which will be en-
bodied in bulletin to be is

''The last legislature made small
appropriation for the purpose of max
ing a reconnaissance and issuing bull
letin, giving a brief description of the
mineral resources of the state The
matter was placed in charge of the
State University, and Prof. Young, J.
c. Jones and myself were detailed to
do the work. We started out about a
month ago, and at present Prof. Young
is in the southern part of the state and
Mr.. Jones at Yerington, although the
latter will join me at Mill City the

tion at our disposal, we are unable to
go to the expense of visiting the far

this time will confne our investiga-
tions to the mines of the more readily

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanviIIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury In Bride Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to decision of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.
