The house at $40 Seventh street oc-
cupied by several railroad men was
broken into recently and several suits
and other articles of wearing apparel
were stolen. The robbery was re-
ported to the police yesterday. but up
to date no trace of the thieves has
been found. A blue serge suit, black
coat, pair of blue serge trousers,
two neckties, razor, a strop, a
brush and fireman's cap made up
the list of missing clothing. One OF
the neckties is bright red and the
other gaudy yellow and the city
police will keep their windward eye
open for all men wearing ties of these
striking colors. To avoid suspicion
it will be a good idea for innocent
people to keep off the streets when
wearing bright red or gaudy neck
wear, especially in combination with
a blue serge suit.

1t is the opinion of Las Vegas men
interested in the subject that the new
law passed yesterday affects home
stead entries now pending as well as
those to be made in the future. The
law cuts down the required residence
from five years to three years and
allows the settler five months alb
sence each year. He is not Obliged
to make up the lost time. The new
homestead legislation is expected to
increase the number of entries ma
terially.
