Orders given to Sheriff w, A.
Hammell by Burns operatives has re-
suited in curtailing the liberties of
John and James B. Mcnamara in
the county jail. Henceforth the men
will be restricted within the confines
Of their cells.
The barred cells where the men are
confined are enclosed in a steel walled
room about Ia feet square. There
is a narrow passage all around the
cells and when the prisoners were
permitted to walk around the outside
Of their cells II gave them an oppor-
tunity to get near a barred window
and breathe pure air. II also gave
them an opportunity to get some ex-
ercise.
The orders given to the jallers
will work a severe hardship on the
men and especially on John B. AIcNu-
mara who feels the need of the walk
around and around the narrow room
where he paced hour after hour much
of the time with book in hand and
only stopping at intervals to make
notes on a pad he kept on a small
table in his cell
To make the punishment more
severe the Burns men ordered two
small potted plants which the prison.
ers priced very highly, removed from
the cell. one OF these was a fern

out the months they have been con-
fined In the cell. All flowers have
been prohibited.
II is believed Burns hopes 10 weak

ment and break them physically be-
fore the trial begins. The attorneys
for the defense declined TO comment
on the treatment OF the prisoners but
they confirmed the statement OF the
treatment they are receiving at the
hands OF the jailer.

The grand jury has been held in

the statement az ris-~-->- na---->-
the express purpose cf brow beating
and intimidating witnesses the defense
and other persons interested in the
defense.
Every power that the Steel Trust
and the Manufacturers association can
purchase with their funds is being In
vokcd to prevent the workers who are
In prison from getting a fair trial.
Every day the Burns operatives re-
tease some worked up feature story
for the daily papers. Many of these
stories are based on some wonderful
exploit OF Burns or some discovery
of explosives which they have had
plenty Of time to plant since the ar.
rest Of the workers.
Prospective Jurors are being canvas

friendly to labor. who by any mis-
chance might be chosen to serve on
the jury, would be a marked man

Is making Wild and unwarranted state

chief counsel for the defence of the

Burns wild statements made no
impression here. He does not help

seeks to increase prejudice against the

water behind it would send it
down this canyon. The last dam
/ formed Just above the toll house,
half mile from the bottom of the
hill. 1t gave way with a roar
carrying everything before it, in
cluding the toll house. Thousands
of tons of ear b, bou dor ard muck
were carried downward tearing
open the earth ten or fifteen deep
and destroying every sign of the
road. The water carried sand
down the main road as far as the
Cardinal home and deposited all
the way from few inches to four
feet OF cart over the road, making
travel between Genoa and sher-
dan impossible.
A cabin which was directly in
the path OF ,h rush of water, was
carried a hundred feet or more

below the road. A blind Indian
was asleep in the house when it
was carried away but escaped from

A fine hay field on the old
Haines ranch, recently purchased
by James and Peter Van Sickle
was covered with Debris to a foot
or more in depth, damaging the
property at least $4,000.
Work OF repairing the road to
the Lake has already startled under
the personal supervision Of Com
missioner Campbell. The lower
portion OF the road will be entirely
rebuilt. Starting at a point a
hundred yards further south, the
new road swill be given a much
easier grade than the old one and
will cross the washout near the old
mill and wind back to the canyon.
The road up the west size of the
Valley will be opened to travel as
soon as possible.

Hussman became prostrated from
the heat last Saturday and has
since been confined to his bed.
1t was necessary to climb very
steep bill in order to reach the
camp and while he felt the heat
greatly, he noticed that he pres
pired very little. When reaching
camp he felt a weakness creeping
over him and that was the last he
knew for some time. Fortunate y
his herder was near at hand aud
rendered what aid he could. As
soon as he recovered from the
spell he was brought home and his
condition continues to improve.

AMPUTATED

Dangberg submitted 10 an operation
that deprived him Of his right loot
The doctors have been untiring in
their efforts to save the member but
the disease was too deep seated as
for the past week he mas been IN a
dangerous condition from blood poi-
soning. After d consultation It AYas
decided that amputation OF the l1em
Der was necessary in order to save
Mr. Dangbergs life. The foot was
removed about four inches above the
ankle JOINT.
The operation was successful in
every particular. Since yesterday he
has been resting easy and spent a
good night. 1t IS the belief that he
will pull through as he stood the
shock even better than the surgeons
anticipated. From present appear
ances the removal of the diseased
member has saved his life

way the boarding house at the
mine. The rear Of the building is

The rush OF water entered the back
doors filling the kitchen with three
feet of debris. Raymond Walker
of Gardnerville was at the mine
and ran up to the house just in

shut down pending the repairing
Of the hotel. Several OF the bridges
on the wagon road to Loope were

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

Fred Dangberg came down from
Minden this morning to see his
brother George, who underwent an
operation few days ago. He found
his brothers condition very much
improved. There is every reason to
believe that George will make
speedy recovery. He is all ready
figuring just how he is going to
handle himself with one foot gone.
He is resting easy and is improving

LITTLE Child
DROWNED

One OF the saddest accidents that
has happened in this Valley dur
ing the past year, occurred last
Friday morning when the baby
boy of Mr.. and Mrs. L. W. Sarman
toddled out OF the yard through
a gate that someone had neglected
to close, falling into an irrigation
ditch and was drowned.
The mother was busy with her
mornings work and upon com
peting the toilet OF her two little
girls, noticed the little fellows
absence. Her repeted calls brought
no response and a search OF the
yard failed to loca % him Tn
open gate told silent story but It
was not thought the water had
claimed him. The mother hurried
out in The field where her husband
was at work and told him OF what
had happened. The men rushed
10 the house an were quick TO
suspect that he bad fallen into the
ditch. The water WAS turned out
Of the ditch and The search started
A long aume carries the water
over a creek and then it flows
through the orchard and cut on to
an alfalfa field. This was fol-
lowed and nearly a alf-nile re-
low the house was found the lifeless
body OF the little chap which an
hour before had been the bright,
chattering boy Of devoted parents
and their only son.
The little body was carried back
to the house and neighbors did all
in their power to make the severe
loss bear on the parents as lightly
as possible.

age and was the only boy in
