EAGLES DANCE
A SUCCESS

The dance given by the Eagles last
night at the Opera House proved to
be one of the big successes of the
winter. In spite of the fact that both
Houses of the Legislature were in ses-
sion. big crowd was on hand. and
after the sessions adjournment many
attended from the two houses.
A special train came down from the
Comstock bringing some fifty merry
makers. Green ties and shamrocks
were in evidence while the hall was
decorated, to correspond. The Or
chestra furnished some lively Irish
melodies and several times the dane
ers joined in making merry with
songs for the occasion 1t was a St.
Patrick's dance all right.
A prize was offered for the best
waltzing This was one of the close
questions of the evening and Assem-
blyman Kearns finally landed the
prize with Mrs Reims OF Virginia
City as his partner It was noted that
when it comes to prize dancing the
rag and bunny hug were excluded
The dance lasted till we'll toward
morning when the special train re-
turned to the Comstock and the dane
ers all voted the Eagles as the real
good-time makers.

THE NEW
WATER BILL
IS PASSED
Important Legislation
From This Measure

Yesterday the Water bill. or the
bill giving the State Engineer GER
tain powers OF adjustment along
water courses, was taken up III the
Assembly, 1t was anticipated that a
fight would follow and that the bill
would be pretty freely discussed.
During the past week a lobby has
been pretty industriously working
against the measure which was deem
ed one OF the most important bills
OF the session.
When the bill came up it was re-
ferred 70 the committee OF the
Whole, State Engineer kcarney was
asked 10 address the Committee. He
made short and logical talk on the
features OF the bill and cited the good
work tha, had been done since the
creation OF this branch OF the state
government. Many questions were
asked aud answered. He was follow
ed by Bert Mcintosh. who represent
boldt Assemblyman Harvey Harris
asked many questions and presented
number OF amendments that were
intended To modify the bill He kept
his amendments going until he found
that it was useless and retired from
the fight only after seeing the use
lessness OF further fight DR.. Sweazy
was also persistent in offering amend
ments, but every one was waived off
and sent down the line OF defeat.
When the vote came ii showed that
the bill met the approval OF the ma
jority. the vote standing Al to II in
favor OF the bill . a notice of recon
sidcration was given, which will not
interfer with the bill

the matter. openly favored the new
law and many took his wcrd for il.

the proposition up good and cleap

LOBBY DAYS
ARE PASSING

The use of lobby is evidently
passing with the days of moderism.
Practically every lobby that has come
to the Capitol this winter has gone
home without the scalp lock. The
more the lobby works the harder they
get shelved.
The tax commission bill, the water
bill, the latest franchise matter and
other propositions have gone sailing
down the line when the lobby worked
to its capacity. About the only way
to land the goods is TO keep off the
ground and the boys will do the de-
Gliding. Lobbying as a game is a
dead one in Nevada for some years
to come.

AMENDMENT
PASSES
ASSEMBLY,
Fish Bill to Help in
All the Counties

A bill passed the Assembly this
morning which it is hoped will go
onto the statutes regulating the sale
OF fish licenses to tourists and travel
ers throughout this state
Under the old law the visitor, whom
We invite to come and enjoy our
streams and lakes, is compelled to
pay ten dollars for the fishing priv
ilege. The result has been that hun
dreds of people have left the summer
resorts and districts of Nevada with
high disgust We advertise our
wares and then want to soak the in
vited guest.
The new law that passed the lower
house this morning provides that the
visitor may take out a thirty day
license for one dollar. In other words
the summer visitor on the streams
and lakes may enjoy the fishing and
not be held up for the fun.
Glenbrook at Lake Tahoe, has suf-
fered from this cause on many occas-
ions, as has other points along the
Truckee. the upper Humboldt and
other interstate rivers and lakes. By
this new law. which is passed over
to the Senate. the stranger is given
a chance for the fun we advertise.
1t is one of the equitable bills of the
present session.

The harmless pastime of using a
pet cat owned by a prominent Italian
family in Riverdale for baseball cost
Mike Tolona, Italian, a fine of SIS and
costs this morning in police court.
Tolona took the pet of young Ital-
ian girl and played catch with it,
passing the cat back and forth with
another Italian. When Joe Nigeria,
one of his countrymen, objected to
the treatment to which the animal was
being subjected, he was knocked down
by Tolona, who said if he did not shut
up and take care of his own business
he would order him out of Richmond.
Nigeria reported the matter to the
police, assuring Chief Gormon that
Tolona was not a king" Consider
able trouble has been caused by the
Italians in Riverdale fighting. There
are several factions and considerable
enmity and rivalry is said to exist
among them.

MEXICAN OFFICER
. RECEIVED BLAME
For Shooting of a u. S. I'M
migration Officer At
Juarez, Mexico.
National News Association


Ell PASO, July 28.-Blame for the
shooting of u. S. immigration lnspec-
tor G.. B. Dixon was laid upon Mex
lean lieutenant named SainZ of Cen
eral Salazar's army and two Ameri-
can negroes, In a statement issued to-
day by Mexican Consul Miranda. No
federal soldiers were implicated in the
shooting, he said
According to Miranda's version the
two American negroes planned the at
tack upon Dixon on account OF his
activity in investigating a white slave
case and drew the Mexican negro into
the scheme to do the shooting.
Federal investigators have reported
to the Mexican consul here that Dixon
was seized by Salazars soldiers with
out any order having been issued. Dix
on was released without bond and
brought to Ell Paso yesterday. He was
pronounced out of danger, by Surgeon
Tappan, of the immigration service.
The two American negroes arrested
as plotters against Dixon were Arthis
Walker and Harry Bell, who have been
irregular soldiers in Salazar's COM
mand. Bell was said to have escaped
into Mexico while awaiting trial on a
charge of white slavery. Walker is
also wanted on the same charge in the
United States.
