IN the night the papoose in its
basket dropped from the wagon
unnoticed, the loss not being dis
covered until the lnaians reached
McGill. The report has it that the
members Uf the party had been
partaking literally of fire water
and that search for the papoose
was put off until daylight, when a
trip over the road travelled the
night before revealed parts of the
basket, hair and other signs which
indicated the fate of the chuckling
baby. 1t is further told that the
Indians gathered up all that was
lief; of the remains and buried
them according to custom. The
story of the tragedy is said to have
leaked out through one of the
Indians who told white friend
Copper Ore.

GREEN GOOOS MEN
IN OCCUPATION

That the green goods man has
turned away from currency IssIe
tn label and trading stamps is
largely due to the work of a
former Chicago reporter, John E.
Wilkie who for fourteen year has
been at the head Of Uncle Sans
secret service, and nemesis of the
counterfeiter.
Mr.. Wilkie as reporter
ciallized on any assignment in
which clues were scant to some
Interesting crime. His faculty
proved to be coupled with organic
ing ability and cons qucntIy he has
driven counterfeiters Of money to
other undertakings including the
making of bogus trading stamps
which are sold by the million in
some 6OG cities of the United
States, and of lables of commod-
tiles which advertising had made
famous and valuable as an asset.
The comparatively little risk in
volved caused the trading stamp
and label counterfeiting to be done
on a wholesale seal Three men
now in the county Jail at Chicago,
had l5,OOO,O 600 bogus stamps when
arrested.
In their new field Of operations
the counterfeiters have displayed
remarkable talent, and thousands
of patrons, particularly the women,
have been made to suffer
financially.

THE DIFFERENCE

1T is refreshing and significant
to note" said Congressman James
T. Lloyd. Chairman of the Demco-
ratio Congressional Committee,
that with all the clamor and
ratcket that is going on incident
to the campaign for delegates to
the National Convention, nobody
is accusing the democrats Of using
money to corrupt the primaries.
We have the evidence in the form
of sworn statements, that the
Roosevelt managers spent 81 for
every vote they got in New York,
and that tvs million dollars was
spent by the Republican candilates
in the Pennsylvania primary, and
that money was spent like water
by the Republicans in their fight in
Maryland"

HIS CAMPAIGN OF DISHONOR

A few days and possibly more
than few dollars scattered 10y his
angels will determine how many
delegates Theodore Roosevelt has
won in his zeal for "a genuine
calamity and his search for an
overwhelming popular demand. "
What can he win? What dis
honorable losses are his! Broken
promises and broken friendships,
old opinions swallowed, his dignity
thrown in the slime, a part of the
dignity OF tte United States that
has been so generous to him in
the slime with it, the repul lican
rarty to which he owed all his
honors Indignantly and meanly
stabbed by him, the degradation
or blackening of an iIlustriOus
reputation, the sinking to a lower
level every day of a campaign Of
spite, of cslumny, of brawling, of
a profound and ineradicabIe pas
sion for the manner and the intel
ligence of the slums; he has be-
come a bitter national disgust.
Like john Randolph, of whom
his eccentricities of temper and
judgment may feebly remind
students Of the pathology of
demagogy and moral arterio-
sclerosis. Theodore Roosevelt is a
nuisance and curse"
Look back to the Roosevelt who
landed here in 1910. who had
golden opinions of all sorts of
people. who might have had the
good will OF most Of his country
men and have been national
possession, who might have hoped
for the blameless and benefcent
old age of Thomas Jefferson and
John Adams.
He threw il away TO become the
Count Johannes of politics. to rant
and bully and huff snuff, to pre-
pare unconsciously the hour when
hi dupes will need fresher tool
or less riddled charlatan. - FIX
change.

DON'T KILL DOVES
they ARE NESTING

During the past few weeks tn,
hunters have been constantly on
the the trail of tn doves. Humid
reds have been killed. When the,
first came in and before matin,
this was excusabe. but 10 shooi
d dove at this season is criminal
The birds have mated and are
nesting. Parties who killed mess
last week we're convinced of this
by cleaning the birds and finding
eggs with shells formed Anyone
who will deliberately shoot any
nesting bird is far removed from
a sport and the worst mistake made
in all OF Nevada's laws is the fact
that it does not protect the dove
in its nesting season. Put up your
guns until after the birds arc
through nesting and give them I
chance. Carson Appeal.
