RENO PHYSICIAN HURT BY
BEING THROWN FROM HORSE

DR.. NJ. A. Robson. a we'll known
physician of Reno. is lying at the
Sisters hospital with his left should
er ~dislocated, three ribs broken. one
knee badly wrenched and his body
and head covered with bruises and
laeerations-all the result of being
thrown from a horse.
DR.. Robson was riding in the
northwest part of the city when the
animal of which he was astride, a
young and partly broken colt, sud-
denly took fright at something and
began bueking. The physician was
thrown violently TO the ground. roll
ing owe and over and striking the
earth. The force of the fall render

Had the physicians foot become
entangled in the stirrup as he fell he
undoubtedly would have been much
more severely injured by dragging,
the frightened horse ran for some
distance before stopping.

SAM Is SOME BIRD DOG

Of all the intelligent bird dogs in
the country, Sam, the well-trained
setter belonging to the Rev. Brews-
ter Adams, takes the candy, in the
opinion of the popular minister and
those of his hunting friends who
have seen the dog in the field of ac-
ton says the Reno Gazette.
Many times Sam has pointed a
bird while in the act of retrieving
another which had been shot, but on
a recent trip to the vicinity of Pyra-
mid lake he performed an almost
Incredible feat, showing his abso-
lutte obedience to the commands of
his master.
Everyone knows the tendency of
a bird dog while ranging to catch
the scent of birds TO stray after rab-
bits. A dog not perfectly trained is
apt to go yelping after bunny, while
his master thinks thoughts and says
things more suitable for a disap-
pointing situation on the golf course
than anything else.
The other day while Mr.. Adams
and a party of friends were hunting
Sam lodged into a thicket of low
brush, and a glimpse of his black
coat through the branches. a mo-
ment later showed him to be at
a point. After edging around into
position for a good shot, Mr.. Adams
gave the word. Sam flushed the bird
and instantly came bounding out as
the shotgun brought it to earth.
As the dog came out into the open
on the run, it was seen that he had
a live rabbit in his mouth.
He had snapped the cottontail up
on his way into the thicket. scented
a bird and stood motionless for a
minute or more with the living rab-
bit in his mouth, flushed the bird
and brought his catch out without
losing either his head or the rabbit.

TAKE OVER
PINENUT PROPERTY

Some weeks ago the Gunn-Thomp-
son took a bond on the Walker prop
erty in Pinenut. This Is the ilrst
time a big concern has taken hold Oh
any mining properties close to TINS
section, says the Carson Appeal. AT
the time 1t was announced that they
would prospect the ground and de-
termine the extent of the copper
property and prove the section as a
producer.
Sam Bedford and representatives
of the Gunn-Thompson people IN
spected the work owe the holdings.
Several have been completed and
other preliminaries of taking the
property over.
1t was said that a diamond drill
rig was to set up on the ground ana
that 1t would be prospected as Is all
other big properties. Should the val
ues be as they show on the surface
the concern will take the ground
over and big mining will follow. The
setting up and running a drilling
outfit means real business. II Is a
factor that will turn the deal and
also be the means of determining
the future of the Pinenut section as
a copper producer.
For years prospectors have been
trudging over the section and excel
lent grade copper ores have been
shown. The efforts of the prospec-
tors have been hampered through
lack of capital and by the coming in
of a big concern there is a future for
the neglected section. As the con
cern operates the Thompson smelter
At that place 1t means a lot to this
local section should a big copper
mine result from their efforts.

MAN IN INDIA DESIRES
TO SHOOT NEVADA CONVICT

Letters continue to come from all
parts of the world asking for the
pleasant job of shooting Andreja
Merkoviek who was condemned to
be shot at the Nevada state prison
for the murder of John Grevoyich
of Tonopah, but who is now enjoy
ing a stay of execution granted him
by the supreme court of Nevada IN
til they can review the evidence in
his case under an application for a
new trial.
IT will be remembered that at the
time the sentence was about to be
enforced a press report was sent out
TO the effect that Warden Cowing
would be unable to get a firing squad
to carry the order of the jury and
court into effect.
This statement was without foun-
dalton but at the same time was
considered of such news value that
1t was even ea5led abroad. As a re-
suit Warden George Cowing of the
Nevada ~penitentiary has received
to date 120 applications for the po-
sition; 90 of them came from Eng
land; one arrived during the last
week from India and the rest came
from all parts of the United States.
The warden has ignored the ap-
plications and is still of the opinion
that he can handle his own business
without sending out to foreign
tries for men who would travel thou
sands of miles for the pleasure of
sending a man into eternity.-Reno

MAKING PROGRESS IN
PROSPECTING PEAXINE

The Gunn-Thompson company who
are operating the Nevada Central
mining property in the Peayine min
ing district, about four miles to the
northwest of Reno, are making rapid
Roadway with their prospecting
work.
About two weeks ago the churn
drill was installed, and a of
five men were put to work sinking
in an effort to determine the value
of the ore at depth. So far a depth
of $50 feet has been reached.
In addition to the probability of
developing a paying mining proper
ty on their own ground. the work of
the Gunn-Thompson people is calcu-
lated to do much for the entire dis
trict by proving the presence of pay
ing ore at reasonable depth. IN the
event that the borings prove success
full in all respects, it is a practical
certainty that adjacent claims and
others on the same range will be de-
yeloped by those who may profit by
the experiment.
The Gunn-Thompson interests have
planned a thorough exploration of
their property. the Nevada Central
II will include not maraIv
one, but several deep holes to de
termine the character of the ore.

The strike was made while drift
ing in a northwesterly direction, the
new vein being uncovered in the face
of the %erosscut.
The rich ore resembles that on the
same level of the Mexican mine. and
apparently is a part of the same ore

RHiNocERos IN AMERICA.

During what is known as the MILO

dant in North America, and 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that they, too,

Delaware. Maryland and New York.
Some of them had no horns, while
Others had two, one on either side of
the nose. The most peculiar Of this
group was one Of the hornless spe-
cies, having the short legs Of hippo
potemus. These animals were prob
ably aquatic in their habits. The Mi
ocene sands of Kansas have yielded
the bones of thousands of these crea-
lures. They have been found in such
close association that it has been sug-
eested that they persisted from the
effects Of an unusually severe season.
which drove them together in search
of some last spot where food was to
be found. .-.- .. .,..,.,... .: ..-.......
This period also witnessed the con-

mails that roamed these parts. The
most remarkable of them is termed
the high camel or giraffe camel,
which. while a member Of the same
family, had the long, slender neck and
legs of a giraffe and browsed on trees.

TAX LAWS CHANGES
Members Of Bankers Association
Appear Before Commission
new STATUTE IS SUGGESTED
Proposed Measure Provides for Ten
Mil Tax Levy On Capital, Sur.
plus and Undivided Profits
Of Bank.

Des Moines, Feb. 16.-Members OF
q committee from the state oank-
ers' association discussed the revenue
laws of Iowa and proposed changes in
the statues before the state tax COM
mission. in session at the state house
yesterday afternoon.
Charles D. Ellis of Charles City.
chairman OF the committee, A. H.
Gale Of Mason City, a former state
senator; Lyman Edwards Of Burling-
ton, w. e. Coffin of Des Moines and
Senator John Fl. Weber Of OttumWa
addressed the commission.
Mr.. Ellis suggested new statute
providing 10-mill tax on capital,
surplus and undivided profits Of banks.
The Charles City banker argued
banks under the present laws pay
more than their equitable share OF
the taxes as compared to the taxes
paid on merchandise, real estate, per-
sonal property, etc.
Considerable discussion of the law
providing for 5-mill tax on moneys
and credits passed by. the last gem
eral assembly, was INDUCED in by
tho bankers before the commission.
The same status provides for q tax
on the stock and moneyed capital OF
banks upon the taxable vale Of 70
per cent Of the actual value.
Senator Weber pointed out that
under tho present laws it was to the
interest of banks to cut down their
surplus, to avoid taxation. He cited
an instance of one bank bank that
"cut a melon" of $4,000 from its sur
plus. because Of taxation.

A CHANCE FOR
ECONOMY IN DRESS.

There are so few differences in
styles this season that the chances Of
economizing seem better than they
have ever been. We do not require to
renew our wardrobe unless last years
Is shabby. or, for what is perhaps as
good a reason in a woman's eyes, be-
cause we happen to want to.
The silhouette shows no changes
that are worth taking into considera-
ton; we have not changed the model
Of our corset or our skirts, and what
difference there is lies merely In the
fact that we are not quite so tube-like
as we were, although the change Is
barely perceptible. ,~
To be quite accurate, the difference
measures about quarter OF a yard,
which, distributed all round the hem
of our garments, is no such great thing
after all. OF course, If we were &C.
centres who used to waddle a la Jap
onaise in a yard and one-quarter OF
swaddling robe, we shall certainly
look very different, to say nothing OF
feeling much more comfortable In the
now permitted yard and half; hut II
we belonged to the quite ordinary,
though still smart, people who never
entagled themselves In less than q
yard and a half, we shall be pretty
much as we were for the rest OF the
season.
Not only shall we be narrow, but
we shall be short, though in wintry
weather we shall display boots with
suede uppers instead Of elegant chas-
sures and gayly colored hose. And
certainly we will display them, for the
average woman Is much too dainty
and sensible to let mock modesty
mess her skirts in rainy weather.
Meantime. tights continue to super.
sede petticoats, which simply add to
feminine discomfort in sloppy and
windy weather.
