Making Assault With a
Deadly Weapon.
C. w. CAMPBELL COMPLAINS
As Evidence of Grievance He Ex-
hibits Two Bad Injuries on
His Uranium.

Charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, Clarence Mart, 1112 Third

fore Magistrate c. J. Smith for a hear
ing. on complaint Of c. Walter Camp
bell, 2413 Seventh avenue, who claim
ed that Mart assaulted him last nigh
while they were in the Henry Flem-
ming saloon at Fifteenth street and
Fourth avenue. As evidence of the
assault Campbell is wearing his head
in a swath of bandages which cover
two nasty cuts, one on his forehead
and one back of his right ear. The
evidence submitted by Witnesses in the
case was so confusing that 1t was nee
essary TO continue the case till tomor-
row morning at o'clock, when fur
Their witnesses will be called upon 10
tell the story of the fracas.
DISAGREE AS TO TINE.
IN telling his story, Campbell as
serted that Mart brought a beer
glass down on his head while they
were standing at the bar. and that the
assault occurred between and
o'clock Flemming declared that the
assault occurred shortly before II
O'Clock, and that was the time that
the police were first notified of it.
John Oakley. a companion of Campbell,
who had bought drink before the me
lee, was unable to give concise
statement of facts, and his evidence
was practically worthless. However.
his remarks convulsed the court with
mirth He challenged the defendant
to a fight. and when the magistrate
warned him against swearing and a
to court rule, he pleaded that fine he
imposed on him or that he be lock
ed up.
MORE DIsAGREEMENTS.
Campbell asserted that Mart was his
assailant, while Flemming could not
say for certain whether It was Mart
or not. Campbell claimed that an ar
gument over some change belonging
to Oakley started the fight. Flemming
asserted that Campbells attack on an
ether occupant of the saloon was the
beginning of the fight.

The Quietest Spot

Bound hand and foot and gagged, the
maiden was put into gunnysack and,
unable to move or screech, felt herself
being carried down flight of stairs, put
into buggy and then driven down the
street. Intellectually she tried to re-
lieve herself from the gag. Alas! She
was too securely bound. Finally the
conveyance was stopped. She was again
carried into a building, fainting and
gasping for breath; the sack was taken
from her head. The VILLAIN, still masked,
took the gag from her mouth, his eyes
cleaning like Goals of fire through his
black mask, released her and hissed
through his tightly closed teeth

nys holdings i'll Crabb district this week
and installed the same on the Pay Dust

TAKES OPTION ON
The NICHOL RANCH

Evidently there is one man who has
iouiid Ill the Yerington District the
country for which he has been looking.
mat man is n. G.. Douglass, of Los
angeles. Some months ago he came i'll
ana thoroughly looked ovre the mining
section OF the district, with a result that
lie secured options on two promising
copper properties the Kennedy Consol-
idated III the Buckskin section and the
Northern Light in the Black Mountain
section and now has force of ten men
on each property doing development
work.
In picking up these properties, which
lie, one on the extreme west side of the
district and the other to the extreme
east side, Mr.. Douglass came very near
seeing and sizing up the whole district,
both as to its mining resources and agri-
cultural resources. He was so impressed
with the latter that this week he pur-
chased the option which G.. w. Lucy
held on the James Nichal ranch situated
a few miles northeast of Yerington. to-
gether with what improvements Mr..
Lucy had put upon the place during his
lease and option. He also secured from
Mr.. Nichol a three year extension of
the lease and option.
The exact terms of the transaction we
are unable to give, except that option is
for $50, 600 und Mr.. Douglass is to take
charge of the property OH or before the
18th of next month. The ranch CON
tains go acres so it is selling for nearly
$50 an acre. 1t is one of the best pieces
of ranch property i'll the valley.
We are informed that Mr. Douglass
intends to put the entire ranch into al
falfa and go into the dairying and hog
raising business quite extensively 1t is
asserted that he will put in a small al
falfa mill to grind the product of the
farm into meal to feed to his cows and
ogs. thereby losing none of the nutri-
ment of the crop.
Mr.. Douglass left for Southern Cali
fornia on Wednesday of this week, and
when he returns in couple of weeks
expects TO bring his son with him to
AXE charge of the ranch. He believes
hat with correct methods he can easily
make the ranch produce FIVE tons of hay
% the acre.

"First Aid" Now on Trains

In an effort to minimize fatal results
from what first appear to be only minor
injuries through train accidents, the
Southern Pacific company, through its
chief surgeon, DR.. +. X. Ainsworth has
ordered installed on its baggage car,
combination cars and cabooses, what are
known universally as first aid pack
ages. Ever since the railroads of the
country first became interested in first
aid work, the Southern Pacific trains
have been equipped with first aid"
kits, but these were so large that when
one was opened only one or two were
used and several were left to become
dirty and unfit for medical use.
The first aid" packages contain only
sufficient bandages and dressings for
one wound, and sufficient number of
packages are placed in each car to take
care of a large number of wounds should
it happen that any great number of per
sons incur injuries at the same time.
Danger from train accidents, which has
been minimized to such an extent during
the last few years by modern equipment
and safety devices, is further diminished
by having these first aid" packages at
hand at all times, and practically all
train crews have become skilled i'll rem
dering the first aid work.
