SELLS MANY MUTTON SHEEP
Williams Bands are Lessened by
10000 When Surplus Mutton
Sheep are Disposed of.

Hon. w. w. Williams returned Thurs
day from visit to Elko county, where
he went recently to attend to matters
connected with his holdings in that Sec
tiou. During his absence he consum-
mated sale of something like 10000
weathers and lambs to the Western
Meat Company, of San Francisco, for
which the purchaser will, under the
agreement entered into, pay between
$50, 900 and $4,000. The sheep will be
delivered at points on the railroad in
Elko county between the 23rd inst,
and the 3rd of October. OF the number
sold, l6. 600 come from the bands of W.
W. and @. B. Williams, the remainder
being furnished by w. A. Keddie.
Co-incident with the sale was an
agreement between w. w. Williams
and the Western Meat Company, where
by Mr.. Williams agrees to feed 5000
head of he sheep on his ranch near
town. These sheep will be brought here
by rail within a short time and when
fattened will be shipped on to the coast
for marketing.
Mr.. Williams stated that Nevada cat
tlemen were now in the most delectabe
clover Of their careers in this state,
Elko range cattle sales being negotiat.
ed on basis of 81 cents gross with
many cattlemen holding for s cents.
These are the highest prices ever paid
for Nevada cattle and allow the owners
a very handsome margin for profit. 1t
thus happens that Nevada stockmen
generally are reaping a harvest at the
present time, and by the same token
it signifies that meats when they reach
the consumers will be correspondngly
high.

SUSTAINS WOUND.
Bert Cushman Victim of
Trap Gun.

Bert Cushman suffered serious in
jury to his right forearm Thursday
afternoon when he attempted to open
a door to the Churchill Creamery Com
pany's granary on the Comstock ranch.
Together with Chas. Wightman the
victim of the accident drove to the
granary to look after detail. Finding
the door padlocked, the lock was fore
ed, when in pushing the door open a
trap gun that H. j. Kinkaid, manager
and part owner of the ranch had set
for suspected thief, was discharged,
the charge tearing through and along
the flesh part of the forearm.
Luckily no bones were broken and it
is said that the member will shortly be
as useful as ever. Both Messrs. Wight
man and Cushman were sitting in a
buggy as the door is some distance
from the ground. Had the positions of
the men been varied foot in one di-
rection it is said that fatality would
have resulted.

Toxic a Musical Treat

That Fallon can boast of considerable
musical talent is being shown by the
rehearsals of Toxic, musical comedy
to be given the first two nights of the
Fair, Sept. 25th and Goth, at the Wood
lift theatre. The many song hits and
dances are being carefully rehearsed
under the direction of Miss Neva Coe,
musical director, and Mrs. Lenz, who
is dancing instructor for the company.
Twenty-four voices will be heard in the
chorus work, in which twelve song hits
of the season will be introduced.
No care is being spared in the careful
training being given the entire COM
pany, and Fallon can boast of her first
musical comedy during Fair week.
Public taste demands entertainment Of
light, amusing and tuneful nature
and the people in charge are working
to meet this requirement. The prices
will be extremely reasonable, 80 that
the matter of cost may not stand in the
way of anyone. Thirty-ive cents will
be the price of admission for adults
and children over twelve years; children
under twelve years will be admitted for
fifteen cents. There will be no reserved
seats as one seat is equally as good as
another in the small playhouse.

THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Met Monday And Yesterday To
Hear Complaints Against
Tax Roll.

A full board of equalization met Mon
day and yesterday and heard complaints
against the tax roll as prepared by As
SCISSOR j. w. Sitton, which to this func-
tionary's credit were few and far be-
tween.
The 80-acre tract of land, belonging
to Paul Kolstrop, was ordered placed
on the assessment roll, inasmuch as the
owner lately submitted proof as to res
idence and cultivation.
Written complaint was received from
the Utah, Nevada & Idaho telephone
company against the assessment of it's
lines In this county. The assessment
complained of is $50 per mile of pole
line and being considered as conform
inx with valuations as other valuations
go, was ordered to remain as fixed by
the assessor.
The Nevada Hills Mining company
was represented by Messrs. L. A. Glib
bons, company attorney and c. F. Bur-
ton, company manager, who appeared
and asked that the assessment of s75,-
0OO placed by Assessor Sitton against
the milling plant at Fsirview, be strick-
en- from the roll on the ground that it
Is a part of patented mining claim,
which under q constitutional provision
cannot be taxed beyond nominal sum,
only It's proceeds being taxed under the
state bullion tax law.
The statement submitted by c. F.
Burton concerned only personal prop
erty, upon which was placed valua-
tion Of Sc, 800, the oath not being exc
cuted and under the law an assessor or
board of equalization may summarily
fix values in such instances. The re-
quest of the company's representatives
that G. I. Burton be allowed TO execute
the sworn statement was not allowed,
and the request that the S75, 600 valua-
tion be stricken from the roll was de-
MED.
Il is claimed that the case will be
carried into the courts. IL Ia also stat
ed that ruling of one of the states
district judges, p F. Summers, of Es-
meralda county. fsvoring the mining
company involved, has established a
precedent and the present case will be
fought out along constitutional lines.

 BUT GET NO MONEY

Foods That Bjnd
 Little Children
Start them off right with a good laxative and then
 watch their diet

Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact Is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence avoid what seems to oonstipate the child. or to give it indigestion, and urge 1t to take more of what Is quickly cisested.
 If the child shows tendency to constipation 1t should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels, By this Is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts. pills. etc. What the child requires Is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines. such as pr. opinion of thousands of watchful child showing a tendency to constipa- ton. So many things can happen to constipated child that care is neces- sary. Catching cold piles, headaches, slce ep1essness and many other annoy Rnces that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation.
 Many of Americas foremost farni- lies are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need it.. and all can use 1t. Thousands en- dorse it. among them the parents of Ernest Cash. Sycamore. Ga. and Mrs Carrie V. Marshall, Kevil. Ky, who buy 1t regularly of their druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being bought by those who already know It's value, and 1t con- tains proportionately moro
