NEWLANDS INTRODUCES BILL
TO PERMIT FENCING LAND

Senator Newlands, of Nevada, has
introduced bill authorizing the Sec
retary of the interior to permit in
closure of unsurveyed public lands To-
Gated in what will be sections 25, 26,
27, "a, 35 and 36, township 16 north,
range SO west, Nevada, which are said
to contain quagmires dangerous to
livestock, such enclosure to be SUBJ
jeet to removal at any time specified
by the secretary of the interior. Sena-
tor Newlands explained this legislation
is recommended by G. R. Moorman of
Illipas, Nevada, large stock man,
and also by Special Agent Dezendorf
of the land Office
A dispatch from Reno explains that
the land spoken of in Senator New
land s bill recently introduced asking
that certain quagmires' be fenced
in, is in reality fine, fertile land. The
dispatch is as follows:
ga search of the records and an ex-
animation of plats in the Office of
Matthew Kyle, U. s. surveyor general
for Nevada, discloses that the land en-
braced in the six sections mentioned in
Senator Newland's bill, designated to
permit the land being inclosed, is To-
Gated in the southwest part of White
Pine county at the foot of the east
slope of the White Pine range. The
land is described as being level soil,
excellent and covered with white sage
and sagebrush. White sage and sage
brush do not thrive in quagmires. Pub
lie roads cross the eraet sought to. be
enclosed The tract consists of more
than three thousand acres and hes on
the edge of forest reserve where
there is excellent grazing, scattered
timber and springs, being an ideal
place for ranging stock. There are
number of cultivated farms in the
vicinity and land in that locality is
rapidly increasing in value. The
Norman farm is located MANY miles
from the six sections mentioned in the
Newlands' bill and Illipas is in the
neighborhood of twelve miles distant.
The Newlands' bin revives number
of wild stories sent forth regarding
White Sage valley, in which the sec
tions are located. At one time violent
earthquakes were said to have opened
great crevices in the earth and the To-
cality was represented as being a place
for people and livestock to flee from
There is possibility of connection
between these stories and the billsJust
introduced by Senator Newlands.

A HOLD-UP AT SAVAGE
From THURSDAYS Daily.

1t seems that the time of the
wild and woolly west" when a
man used to be suddenly confront
ed by the end of a six-shooter in
close proximity to the end of his
ever amount of this worlds goods
he might happen to have upon his
luckless person, are not yet over.
T. A. Druers, agent for the Dan
PatchP Air line, was held up at
Savage last evening at 6:25 O'Clock
not over a hundred feet from the
Dan Patch railway depot. He came
out of the startling affair about $40
poorer. He had just received his
months pay and was walking to his
room and when passing a clump
of bushes about thirty or forty
yards from the depot man jump
ed out from the bushes and holding
a gun that looked as large as a
cannon, close to the head of the
agent, said hoarsely: Hands up;
your money, quick"
+ There was no alternative and the
unfortunate agent was forced to turn
over all he had When the robber
he backed away, still warning Mr..
Druers to keep his hands up, and
disappeared through fence about
eighty feet distant That was all
that was seen of him. Mr.. Druers
at once notified the authorities of
the holdup and search was i'm
mediatelv instituted AS it was
quite dark when the man stepped
from the bushes Mr.. Druers could
not see his face nor can he de-
scribe him, except to say that the
fellow was very tall. The spot where
the affair occurred is a rather lone
ly. one and there are no buildings
within several hundred feet. The
Lhighwaynan made for the right of
way fence along the Omaha tracks
and he disappeared suddenly in the
darkness. The fellow escaped and
Mr.. DIuers mourns the loss of $40.
r. Savage is a small town on the
Omaha road where the Dan Patch
line crosses the former. Here are
located the Dan Patch stables, where
are housed number Of famous race
horses. a@.es.. -t.-.
