Sill PING PORK
FROM MISSOURI

1t would appear that about the
lest crop that a farmer could
handle in this section would be
hogs. AT the present time the
butchers in this section are ship
ping hogs from Kansas City. By
the tin the poIkers reach this
valley they retail from 20 cents
per pound up. 1t comes mighty
nigh being higb.grade 10y the time
the pork chop hits ones plate.
As pork is marketable from seven
months old up and always trirgs a
fancy price in this section il would
seem that the farmer could nut in
some profitable time raising pigs
for market. It's mighty skinny
pig that wont register $50 pounds
at nine months old and there has
not been a time in the past two
years when they did not wholesale
at IL cen,s uer pound. If that
does not come pretty near being
as good as q gold mine it is hard
to figure anything better.
The farncr who devotes his time
to cattle raising must expect to
wait at lea-t three years before he
can land a prime steer. A nine
moths old pig is worth nearly
half as much as a three-year old
steer. Pigs come in littcrs and they
multiply very fast. 1t sounds good
to the man who hasn't a farm to
try the experiment on, and if there
isn't money in hogs at ~ cents per
pound then there isn't any gold in
a double eagle.
This business of importing meat
from Kanasa City has a funny
sound to the layman and makes his
pocket book look mighty lean. -

The collection of mineral is a

EVERETT CON-
DITIONALLY PAROLED

The board of fpardons has granted
parole Ia Frank f. Everett,
serv ng lie sentence for a
murder committed at Nina in 1906.
In drunken frenzy, Everett shot
and killed Foreman Malone of the
railroai shops, because Malone
refused to man special train for
him. His defense was insanity
caused by EPILEPSY. He frequently
had eLileptic f;s in the prison.
Last year he was taken to Reno and
operated upon and part of his skull
was removed and A steel needle was
found imbr dded in the bone. This
had caused a foreign growth that
pressed upon Ire brain tissue.
Since tie operation Everett has had
no attack of his former trouble.
His wife never ceased her efforts
in his behalf and it is to her that
he owes his liberty. His parole
was granted on condition that he
should not touch intoxicating
liquors or drugs and should COM
municate with the prison board
once every month, by letter and
state his condition. Any violation
of the conditions imposed means
that his parole will be revoked.
He and his wife have gone to
Pacific Grove to reside.

RECOVER STOLEN MONEY

A dog chasing rabbit in the
woods in Hernado county, Fla, had
a large part in finding part of the
$4,000 recently stolen from a
registered mail pouch between
Tampa and Tarpon Springs on the
night Of March 23. Four thousand
dollars was recovered by Postoffice
Inspector Jones and Deputy Bell.
Bell heard that a boy named
Cicero Horace, fifteen years old,
was spending large bills freely at
Brouksville, ard he had the boy
arrested. Horace said that while
hunting recently his dog chased a
rabbit into hollow pine log. that
he thrust his hand into the opeL..
ing and drew out not only the
rabbit, but a sack filled with bills.
Just then negro man came up and
made him give up half of the
money. The hey proceeded to
bury most of his half and to spend
the remainder.
He showed detectives where he
had buried $4,000 and they dug IL
up.

WASHOE SHERIFF TAKES
INDIAN ChPTIVES JOY RIDING

The Reno Gazette says: Snake,
the young woman captured in the
battle of Squaw valley at the time
Mike and his men were killed, to-
day enjoyed an automobile ride
with Sheriff Ferrel and the three
lndian children also captured at
the famous Indian battle in Hum
oldt county. Snake never saw an
automobile until today when she
climbed into the big machine loaned
to Sheriff Ferrel and for a long
time was afraid of the horseless
carriage, but after it had been
driven short distance she seemed
to enjoy the ride and actually
laughed. Sheriff Ferrel, who
spent number of days in the
saddle looking for Snake and her
companions. has taken quite an in.
terest in the young sauaw and the
papooses since they have occupied
a cell in the county Jail, and is try
ing to keep them healthy until the
government can provide for them.
For this reason he took them out
today for an auto spin and it is
possible that later Snake will give
a pink tea to some of her friends
in the Jail basement and tell of her
first ride in a buzz wagon.

A WIND STORM IN RUBY VALLEY

Did you who accompany your
thought or casual remark of Ruby
Valley with nod of the head to
the east or south or west, share in
the excitement and trepidation
which sudden and furious wind
storm afforded us for about four
hours Tuesday evening, April
eighteenth, that memorable date
on which great catastrophes are
wont to happen?
You who live in this valley, and
you who have visited here, and
you, too, who have journeyed
hither for but single joyous time
at the hall above the Ruby Valley
store. must needs heave a sigh of
regret ard fortify the cherished
memories of your good times
there. for those ties can be no
more augmented.
The dawning light of this
following cold day revealed the
sad signt of the devastation
wrought by that usually peaceful
element-air-on this occasion de-
cidedly in motion. The roof of
the store building lay in shattered
segments by the side of the build
ing in the road. and across the
road; and the shingles. boxes,
papers. articles of apparel and
what not gave a most unusual
appearance to the somber and un-
peretentious fields of sage across
from the store. The front of the
hall lay on the ground, PROSTATE
hu' quite entire. its time of
service ended. The articles of
furniture and their kindred in
large part found resting place
beside some friendly sage or piece
Of timber or mound of dirt or
simply in detected heap in front
of the store. And thus the work of
weeks or months or years is some
time brought to naught in a single
minute.
Four men were in the store al
the time Of the crisis and at the
sound Of the crashing timber two
of them ventured ont to discover
what was happeneing. One OF
them Uncle Dick" Hamilton the
driver of the Cave creek stage, wa,
caught beneath a falling section ot
the roof but was immediate,
liberated by the dexterity of Mr..
Garrecht manager of the store
Dicks bruises are painful but not
serious and his friends are strivinS
to render his situation as comfort
able as possible by whatever heir
and consideration he will accept.
S. l.. Wines e. Co. will have tn,
building repaired as soon as posi-
BILE. The rear end and side of the
part which was the hall are still
standing but are TO be torn dowr
and the new roof will be put Of
directly above the first story.

EURIE MUST HANG

Nim:od Eurie. one of the brutal
murderers of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Quilici at Inlay on January 9th.
was convicted Of first degree
murder at Winnemucca Thursday
night.N 1t took the jury half an
hour to agree upon a verdict of
guilt and fix the punishment at
deatl.
There were but few people in
the courtroom when the jury
rendered its verdict. The Hum
boljt Star says that Eurie dis
played no emotion when he heard
the verdict read. He was even
smiling as he entered the court
room to hear the jury's yer Iict,
though he must nave realized,
from the shOrtness OF the time that
the jury had been out, that the
verdict would be one that would
make his life forfeit for his crime.
Last night after tie verdict had
been given. Uric manifested the
frs: ugliness he had shown to the
officers since his arrest. As he
left the courtroom in custody Of
Sheriff Lamb the latter stoppen the
prisoner at the head Of the stair
way to hnndcuT him. Uric drew
away and backed against the wall,
rotestinR against being nanaCltd
He made n slight show Of resist
ance but Sheriff Lamb quickly
grabbed the refractory prisoner
and in a momcct he'd the Tanaclcs
>Tiopn1 ..a .3..r Ui Uric's wrists,
thus preventing any possibility Of
him breaking away as he was being
taken downstairs and through the
corridors to the Jail in the rear Of
the courthouse. II is believed that
Uric objected to the handouts on
account of wishing to be free Of
the manaclcs ms he was taken
through tho corridor, doubtless
with the intention of trying to
make a break for liberty through
either the front or rear door If
this was his intention and Uric had
tried to make a break, il is not
likely that the duty of carrying
out the death sentence upon Uric
would ever have been imposed
upon the warden Of the State
prison. as Sheriff Lamb is dead
shot and is rot apt to make any
misses when he has such desperate
and dangerous characters to con-
tend with as Uric.
The case of j. Frank TRAINER.
indicted uith Uric for the murder
of the Outlets. will come up in
court next Monday all the jurors
having been excused until that
time in anticipation of the Uric
case not being concluded this
week. II is anticipated that it will
he almost impossible TO secure a
jury in this county to try TRAINER,
especially since Uric's conviction
of the same crime and II would
seem probably that TANNERS case
may bc transferred to another
county for trial.

ing machinery to have DESTROYED
the city. There were twelve of
the mechanical batteries with
alarm clocks attachment, identi cal
to the one found in Los Angeles
which failed to explode. Similar
machines had also been found at
Kansas City and at Peoria, Illinois,
where dynamite explosions had
taken place. Those in the suit
case had fuse and caps attached
ready for use.
In a small valise they had
checked, were found a Savage
automatic pistol, a 3S automatic
Colt and a knockdown Winchester
wi tn an automatic silencer of the
Maxim type. The Maxim silencer
was to deaden the sound when
they found it necessary to pick off
a watchman as they have in several
ins ,ances.
In the basement of the building
in Indianapolis IN which the union
Offices are situated, were found
Ga sticks (about so pounds) of
dynamite, 200 feet Of fuse. SEQ
dynamite caps. one dozen small
alarm clocks. and leather case
made to carry a ten pound can of
nitro. .slycerine. In a barn rear
rented by J. j. Nc.
Namara. we're found IT sticks of
dynamite and two quart cans of
nitro-glycerine. This stuff the
owner of the barn says was placed
there last January by John Nc
Namars.
These men we're hunted down by
Detective William J. Burns who has
been on their track for months
and whose men have watched their
every move. From the published
accounts there seems to be no doubt
that the mrn responsible for tie
Los Angeles horror and other
crimes throughout the
country have been caught.
If after fair trial they have
been found guilty of the crime at
Los Angeles let us hope that the
laws delay will not save them from
speedy punishment. If others are
involved the crime, may speedy
justie overtake them. The world
will be better when all directly or
remotely connec,ed with the Los
Angeles crime are sent to their
long rest.

MOTHERS THROW
INFANTS AWAY

Pitiful tales of the suffering of
the starving multitudes qf China
continue to reach the state depart
ment at Washington in mail
advices from Shanghai and
Marking. Mr.. Bostick, a mis-
sionary, writing from Pochow
paints gloomy picture of woe.
The suffering poor he says, have
reached the extremes of any sort
of means of sustaining life. A
fnw months ago they were living
on wheat bran. With that ex-
hausted, they have resoretd to
cooking leaves OF. trees and even
simple dry wheat chaff.
Barefooted children all but
naked on freezing cold days.
pitifully screaming, I'm hungry,
I'm hungry!" are seen on the
streets. Mothers no longer able
to provide food for their offspring
throw them away probably in the
frantic hope that compassion will
force some one to rescue them.
Men few months ago ablebodied
farmers have been reduced to rags,
shivering with cold and facing
starvation.
MANY have perished in the
streets" says Mr.. Bostick. "but
one of the sad lest l have heard of
was that Of man who died last
week near me. He was so over
come with hunger that in the last
moments he picked up clods of
dirt and crammed them in his
mouth"
A deaf ear must be turned to
these pitiful pleadings. continues
the missinoary, because the am ounts
within reach are but as "a drop in
the bucket"
Mr.. Bostick, citing many instances
of suffering. tells the story of a
sick. man, somewhat improved On
the. day rice was GWEN out who
tried to reach the place of distri-
button as he po ssessed a ticket for
some of the food. Overcome with
hunger, disease and cold, he died
hy the roadside before reaching
his destination. His ticket and
the few ragged clothes that
wrapped him were stolen from his
dead body.
Among these people, continues
the missionary, there was not
siLgle one that would not move an
ordinary American to pay, while
there were some who were the
greatest objects of pity that any
one in all the world ever saw.
Some men were seen with nothing
but the thinneSt clothes on, their
feet stark bare. even though the
ground was frozen half foot
deep and snow falling. Some lad
children wrapped up in the breasts
Of their garments. One poor
fellow in rags and a small baby in
hs arms was carrying on his back
his wife, evidently helpless from
hunger. One man who looked as
though he was almost starved was
holding a baby Of only few
months inside of his clothes to keep

him and found that the mother of
the child had recently died being
