BEASLErS SHOWS CLOSE
SUCCESSFUL ENGAGEMENT

NJ more will the clarion voices
of the barkers of Beasley's, Greater
Shows be heard at night along
Bird re street telling of the
sinuosity of the dancing girls, the
fatness of Nrttie, the wonders of
the glass blowing exhibition and
the monster proportions of the
large snakes in captivity. Last
night was the last night of the
street fair aud carnival given by
the Beasley shows under the
auspice of the Eagles band, the
exhibitions having lasted five days.
The carnival proved great attrac-
ton during tine entire time. Dur
ing the hours from 1880 until 10
each evening Bridge street was
crowded with people and the
various attractions were we'll
patronized. The concert each
evening by the band was an
appreciated f"ature and the free
exhibition Of lCaping the gsp, by
Labard thrilled the immense
throng.
Beasley's shows can be conscirn-
tioulsy recommended to the people
Of towns where they may exhibit
in the future. The mani gers are
gentlemen, there are no rowdies
connected with the show, no
grating devices are resorted to
Their aim is to please tie people
and they carry out their promises.
The shows will open a five Gays
carnival in Elko Wednesday night
under the auspices of the business
men of that town..-Humboldt

Mr.. CARv|lLEs HAY BURNED

This morning Allen Carville
telephoned to his father from the
Mound valley ranch that three of
the stack cor ais on the ranch
were discovered to be on fire
about IL o'clock last night and all
in the hay in them, between 400
and 500 tons, was destroyed. The
corrals were in nearly straigh t
line across the field, the outsi de
cOrrals being about a quarter of
a lie part.
Mr.. Carville reported the fire
to the shrrit1 and distric, at
torney this morning, and he and
Ted left for Mound valley this
afternoon. They sent some Indian
trailers out also.
Sheriff Harris was called to
Wells this morning and on his
return this afternoon, he and
District Attorney Dysart went out
to the valley to investigate the
fire.
From the reports that have
reached this Office. there seems
to be no doubt that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. If such
should prove to be the case, no
expense should lie spared to run
down the guilty party or parties
and send them to prison. Property
is safer with all such men locked
in the penitentiary.

A SNAKE STORY

The following snake story comes
from Keytesville, Missouri:
Thirty years ago the Millizer
family lived cha fam on the
Charleston river. Among the
possessions of Mr.. MiIizer were
two large bull snakes, each about
eight feet long, whic;: he had
trained 20 do tricks.
He became much attached to
them and when the family moved
to Arkansas, Miiizer insisted the.
snakes must go along.
Three weeks ago the snakes
returned and took up their abode
in the hollow sycamore tree that
WIS their home before their
removal to Arkansas.
The new owner of the farm
measured the snakes and found
they had each grown to nearly IL
feet.
Milliler has been informed of
their presence ut the old holne.
and it is thought he will have them
returned to him in Arkansas.

RUSTLERS OPERATE
IN THREE STATES

One of the boldest horse stealing
cases recorded in the sect ion en-
bracing western Utah, eastern
Nevada and southern Idaho in
years came to the attention of the
authorizes yesterday when it was
learned that twenty-three. stolen
horses had been shipped from
Wendover, Utah, to Grand Island,
Nebraska. August l, by way of
the Western Pacific, the Oregon
Short Line and the Union Pacific,
apparently under the guard of the
principals of a pang of horse
thieves, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican
Sheriff M. nj. Bush Of Tooele
county telegraphed authorities at
Laramie. Wyo., last night to stop
the car of stolen horses and
arrest those in charge. He also
telnrgaphed the Sheriff at Grand
Island. Neb.. to arrest the care
takers and hold the horses for
evidence until they can be re-
deemed by their owners. Through
unofficial information it was
learned that the car of horses had
been stopped at Laramie and that
carctakers were under arrest.
The stealing of horses west OF
Wendover. stretching over the
Nevada inc and up into Idaho has
caused an extensive investigation
for period of half year. On
the morning of August ] twenty
three head of horses we're driven
to Wendover by unknown horse
men. A car was ordered ard the
horses were shipped to G. and
Island Neb., billed out by Roy
Armstrong, stuckman unkno VII
to WendUver.
DEPUTY Sheriff Charles Nc
Kenna Of Tooele county was at
Wcndover on the day of the shin
ment. He became suspi cous of
those who posed as stockmen.
Immediately he entered upon a
thorough investigation.
In checking up the car Of stolen
horses it was fourd that they mad
been stopped in Salt Lake Weanes-
day night for feeding, but that
they had been billed out over the
Oregon Short Line and were
headed east by way of the Union
Pacific. Brands had been observed
by Deputy Sheriff McKenna and il
was positively learned that the
horses were among those that had
been stolen by horse rustlers
operating in Box Elder county and
in eastern Nevada and southern
Idaho.
Covering a period of many
months. horses and cattle have
been shipped cast from Wcndover
by stocHmcn, representing them
selves as buyers Of stock on COM
mission far Eastern firms. At first
these operations seemed plausible,
but it recently developed that no
sales Of stock had taken plac, in
that vicinity ard that ranchmen
were complaining of the habitual
loss of stock.
Horses and cattle disappeared as
mysterious 'Iy as though they had
dropped through the ground. Blu;
this has been explained in the
clever rusc Of The stock rustlcrs
in making regular shipments.
