A Mexican who goes by the name of
Frank, the Tamale man. was arrested
at three O'Clock Tuesday morning,
charged with selling liquor to Indians.
The arrest was made by deputy U. s.
marshal and in the afternoon the pris-
oner was taken to Carson to answer the
charge in the Federal court. Judge
Blanchard claims that the man has been
in trouble before he came to Yerington,
and, further, that he had been caught
in the act of selling liquor to Indians
some ten days before his last arrest. He
was brought before the judge at that
time and the latter claims that the Mex
ican had practically promised to leave
town, and save trouble for himself and
expense for the city, when it was dis
covered that the man had money-or
claimed to have. 1t was then discov-
cred that man with money couldn't be
made to get ont of town and, so the
judge asserts, his efforts to rid the COM
munity of law w-breaker were thwarted.
LATER-Henry Slingerland, the U. S.
deputy marshal who took the Mexican
to Carson returned last evening and re-
ports that the prisoner was held to the
Federal grand jury in the sum of $500.

SOCIALISM IS SOUELCHED
Anarchy is Rebuked and the
Country Saved.

Miss Bessie Davis, the teacher of the
Primary grade of the Yerington public
school, is one of the best known educa-
tors of this portion of Nevada. She has
taught for a number of years and bears
a most enviable reputation as teacher
and lady. She is progressive and
adopts all up.to-date methods that meet
with her approval.
Recently Mrs Davis has introduced a
new flag drill in her school and it ap-
pears to be the innocent cause of trouble.
This is the way the drill goes: Three
little girls come forward with small red
flags and explain the meaning of the red
in our country's flag ; three more follow
with white flags and, placing them over
the red flags, explain the meaning of
the white color three others come for
ward with blue flags, explain the mean
ing of that color in the flag, and eutwine
them with the flags of red and white;
three of the largest girls in the school
then come forward with red, white and
blue flags, entwine them with the others
and the meaning of the flag and its col
ors are impressed upon the youngsters
minds.
That sounds innocent and patriotic
enough, don't ita
Well, it appears that it isn't. Some
body saw the little red flags-and could
see nothing else. Then the story was
started that Mrs. Davis was teaching So
cialism, under the red flag, in our school
There was some public talk, but it was
not believed that there were half dozen
who took the matter seriously.
On Tuesday morning, however, it was
discovered that the schoolroom had been
entered the night before, the red flags
broken and torn and placed beside the
stove. Although the lock OF the door
had been broken to gain entrance to the
school, nothing but the red flags had
been disturbed, and it seems quite evil
cent that they were the objects, for the
destruction of which some one was will
ing to commit an offense that entities
him to term in the penitentiary.

ment work on the Carson mine, he
would not be after adjoining ground and
making real cash payments on the same.
II is stated that Mr.. Chapman has de-
cided to drive tunnel from the base of
the hill, which will be 1900 feet long and
crosscut that section. This should prove
a very effective method of prospecting
the ground.
When the original deal on the Carson
property was exclusively announced in
THE TIMES it was stated that the pur-
chaser was the company which owned
the Golden Reward mine at Lead, South
Dakota, and that this company was con-
trolled by the estate of the late +. II .
Hartman. We have been informed that
the purchasers were interested in the
Golden Reward mine, but that the COM
pany itself did not buy the Carson mine

ANOTHER GOOD DEAL ON MASON
PASS PROPERTY IS PUT THROUGH

Another deal for mining property at
Mason Pass has been put through by
Constantine Brothers, who sold the Car
son mine at that place some few weeks
ago.
The property which has just been
transferred consists of one full claim
and two fractions adjoining the Carson
mine. The price to be paid is Sl2, 900
and fat cash payment has already been
made.
Considerable of the importance of the
deal lies in the fact that the purchasers
are the same parties from Lead, South
Dakota, who bought the Carson mine
and who are represented in this section
by X. ]. Chapman, the mining engineer.
1t is logically argued that if that wise
individual was not unusually well inn
pressed with the results of his develop

Charlebois Buys Home Here.

A. NJ. Charlebois, who has been ne

HOBART CREEK DAM BURSTS
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Campbell Are
Swept to Death and Charles
Jones Is Horribly Injured.

He was brought from the scene oil
the accident by the rescuing party
,fhe party OF rescuers Travelled
through the mountain regions all
Monday night and arrived at their
destination during the early morn
ing hours of Tuesday. Several
times they were tempted to turn
back, but prompted by the knowl-
edge that a life hinged on their
completing the journey, the trip
was resumed each time, and the
handful of men, tired. footsore and
half frozen, arrived at the site of
the former dam in a condition Dor
dering or exhaustion. While the
start was made Monday afternoon
at 5 o'clock, the Hobart dam was
not reached until 4 o'clock Tues
day morning, nearly twelve hours
being consumed in travelling the
eight miles. A stop was made at
the tank station three miles from
Lakeview and here the first direct
information was received Of the
sad accident.
Will Walker and Will Warden,
who lave charge of the station,
reported having visited Red House
station at the Hobart dam. and it
was these two who discovered that
the dam had been swept away.
They also discovered Chas. ZONES
lying in manger in the barn,
nearly frozen, and it is to their
efforts that the spark of life was
restored, and the news carried to
the outside world.
AT o'clock Monday morning
Warden stated that he was awak
ened by the automatic alarm, and
on consulting the water register
learned that the Hobart creek dam
water pipes had gone completely
dry. Surmising that something
was wrong, he called Walker and
the two made preparations to visit
the dam as soon as morning broke.
When they arrived Jones was
discovered in manger in the
barn and he contributed a brief
rambling account of the affair. At
that time he was nearly dead from
the exposure and lack of nourish-
ment. He was clothed only in an
undershirt and his hands and feet
were terribly frozen. Everything
possible for his comfort was done
and the two men hastened to their
home to give the news of the af-
fair to the officials at Carson.
After hearing the account of the
accident, the relief party contin-
ued the trip. At times the snow
drifts were up to their shoulders,
on several occasions it became
necessary for one or more of the
party to use their united strength
in eXtricating the trail breaker
from perilous position in the
snow where he had become fast
ened in his endeavor to break the
way.
H. A Fravel, a member of the
state police, was completely ex-
hausted by the time the site of the
former dam was reached, and was
carried by his companions for the
last three hundred yards. 1t was
then discovered that both feet had
been frozen, and he was forced to
undergo the painful treatment of

DEATH OF S. E. COOPER
Contributed

commitment
The drowning of Silas +. Cooper in a
ditch at Dayton on February 5th, marked
the passing of one of the best known
citizens and oldest residents of Lyon
county
In the year 1868, when about nineteen
years of age, Mr.. Cooper came to Ne
vada and at once obtained employment
as blacksmith's helper at the old Weston
mill i'll Gold Canyon, about mile and a
quarter above Dayton. A couple of
years later he returned to New Jersey,
the state of his nativity, where he mar
ried. Soon tiring of the east he came
back to Nevada, with his family, and
again engaged in the business of black
smithing.
He at first entered the employ of the
Lyon Mill and mining company. the old
Birdsall company, but later went into
business for himself, his well-known
shop being located near the bridge which
crosses the Carson river
For more than thirty years he contin-
ued this business, his shop being a ia
miliar spot to all old residents of the
county. For forty-three years, with
only short break, his fortunes were
interviewer with those of Lyon county.
and probably no man living within its
borders was better known, had more
friends or fewer enemies. He was a
man of bright humor and ready language,
but his keen sallies, even though at
times sarcastic, seldom left a sting, for
they were nearly always meant in kind
ness.
The exact manner of his death is not
known. 1t is supposed that he went to
the ditch for bucket of water, fell into
the swift, icy current, and chilled to the
heart, life was soon extinct The re-
mains were found the next day, some
hundreds of yards below where he is
supposed to have fallen in
The funeral services were held in the
Dayton church, and the interment was

cortege was very large.

Last sunday night the HOBART
Greek reservoir dam, in the
mountains west of Carson City
burst and the resulting flood
wiped out the lives of Mrs
Adebelle Jones and Mrs. A. B
Campbell. Charles Jones, the
husband of the former, still lives
after a most terrible and thrilling
experience and it is believed that
he will recover.
All of the victims of the acci-
dent are well-known in Mason
Valley, Mrs. Jones being a daugh-
ter of Frank Freeman. Mr.. Jones
brother is married to a daughter of
Senator Barney Reymers and he
has sister named Mrs. Murphy
living in Mason.
On learning of the accident, Mr..
Freeman Immediately went to
Carson and he writes that Jones,
though frightfully bruised and in
jured, is not so badly off as was at
first supposed and there seems no
doubt at this time of his recovery.
Jones story of the catastrophe,
as related to Mr.. Freeman. is
briefly as follows: He was sleeping
in an upstairs room of the house
(Which was three-quarters of a
mile below the dam) while the
ladies occupied one on the ground
floor, on Sunday night. 1t would
appear that he was carried on the
crest of the flood and eventually
was carried to and lodged in the
branches of tree.
Soon after he was thrown out
of the tree, but as he was swept
down the canyon he retained CON
ciousness and grasped at sage
brush or anything that offered
hope i'll arresting his fight. He
finally landed on solid ground, but
on attempting to rise found he
could not stand up.
Jones crawled and dragged him
self to chicken house, 800 yards
away, but that was too cold and
finally he managed to reach the
barn and covered himself with
guuny-sacks and hay. He was
there some IS hours when he was
found by rescue party from Car
son.
The following graphic story of
the rescue is from the Reno
Journal:
The rescue party which started
out from the capital city Monday
afternoon composed of fourteen
members, consisting of Sheriff Ed
Ryan and five members of the
state police, together with several
citizens of Carson and a special
representative of the Reno Jour
nal.
They braved the elements of
the mountain region for twenty
four hours in their endeavor to
provide succor for the injured, and
recover the bodies of the dead. In
the latter list, there are two names,
both women, and it now appears
that the bodies will not be recov-
cred until spring.
Mrs. Charles Jones and Mrs. A,
B. Campbell are the victims of the
catastrophe, while Charles Jones
husband of one of the dead women
is now battling for his life at the
home of his brother in Carson
