THE LAMOILLE SUNDAY
SCHOOL PICNIC

On Saturday last Mr. George
Bowers might have been seen driv-
ing a large hay rack through the
streets of our own little town.
1t seems to be a signal which the
children awaited for they promptly
emerged from every quarter, cloth
ed in holiday garments and they
were not slow in finding places un-
der the green boughs with which
the conveyance was decorated.
They seemed like animated bou-
quets amid the greenery as they
moved off enroute 20 the spacious
lawns at the residence of Mr. Chas
Clubine, where in the "shade of
the old apple trees" tables and
swings had been prepared for the
accommodation Of the Lamoille Sun
day school picnic. Here the chill
dren, together with a few Of the
officers and friends of the school,
forty in all and most delightful
afternoon was spent, playing anus
ing table games, thouRhtfully pro.
vided by the hostess. Under the
able management of Mrs Clubine
and her sister Mrs Shawler not a
dull moment was spent; and when
later in the afternoon huge trays
of ice cream and delicious cakes
appeared, the joy Of the children
was complete. With a hearty
three cheers for the hostess and
also for MIR Rowers the children
again filled the hay rack and set
out for home, not an accident of
any kind having marred the pleas
ure of the afternoon.

through federal attorney Sam Platt,
against the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific companies.
The suits were brought to set
aside the patents granted by th2
government, it being alleged that
the patents were secured through
the filing of fraudulen! affidavits
in which it was alleged the ground
sought to he patented was more
valuable for agricultural than for
mineral purposes. The railroad

RECORD BULLION SHIPMENT

Considerable discussion has been
caused by the statement in This
paper last evening" by Z corre5poDd-
ent, that the shipment of S1,099,-
00O.71 worth of bullion OH Decam-
Der 81, 1877, was the largest made
at any one time from the Comstock.
Some are inclined to question this
statement claiming that in the
spring of 1876 the centennial year,
one shipment was made Of over
| $4,000 600. We have diligently
searched the old files of this paper
and are Of the opinion that the 1877
shipment was the largest amount
sent, ont at one time. We find that
in the year 1876, Con. Virginia in
the month Of March alone extract
ed and milled the fabulous sum of
SO, 125, 900 and some say that it
was in excess of $3.500,000. The
actual time, however, are the first
named, and is no doubt the record
months production of that great
mine. This bullion was all shipped
during the month, but the records
fail to show that over $500,O0O
was sent out on any one train.
The paper of Jan I, 1887, states
clearly that the one million, one
hundred thousand consignment of
the night previous was the record
for single shipment. Virginia

 ABOUT THIEVES
Chief Moore Well Pleased With Work in Appre- hending Gang Alleged to Have Engaged il Whole sale Burglaries

With d complete network of circum- stantiaI evidence woven about the trio placed under arrest on Saturday under
 his orders Chief of Police A. J. Moore.
 yesterday ordered Bruno B. Nillarail
 and Mrs. NilIarail transferred to the
 county jail. Jose Lopez had previously
 been sent over to the county bastiIe in
 order to prevent communication be-
 tween him and the Nillarails. Today
 the three will be formally charged with
 burglary in connection with the rob bery of the O. k. store and an addi- tional charge of grand larceny will be placed against them for the theft of valuable coats dresses and other wear 1 ing apparel from the Garrison automo- bile camping party.
 Chief Moore is justifiahly pleased with the outcome of his efforts to un- earth what al one time promised to be one of those cases that would go down
 in history as a mystery. From the out
 Set he never relaxed in his determina- ton to bring the culprits to justice. Directing his men and taking person al hand in the inNcstigatiOn. he has
 been rewarded in the unraveuinG of a case that he believes cannot be success fully defended when the three are brought into the superior court.
 The finding of footprints about the O. K store. leading to the house where the arrests were finally made by Po- Iiceman Thurman. stationed there con stantIy by orders of the chief. was the first clue. Then Chief Moore directed that careful search be made of the premises in an effort to find the mis-
 sing part of a hammer, the handle of which had been picked lip outside the c. K. Store. The metal part of the affair was finally located upon the top of a cupboard where ii had been hid den by occupants of the house.
 Before the search of the premises was completed enough stolen loot to nearly stock s small store had been re vealed some of this had already been identified bat there is still large quantity the ownership of which is very much in doubt. II is suggested by the chief that any persons having lost wearing apparel recently visit the po- lice station and inspect the stock on hand

LOOKING FOR
 GOOD FARM SITE
Regents of University In specting Proposed Sites for New Salt River Val ley Experimental Farm Old One OutgrOwn

The majority of the members of the board of regents of the state university, accompanied by the di- rector of the experiment station, and a member of the state land cOmmis- sicn as well as the state superin- tcndent of public instruction and tho governor himself. journeycd in every direction over the valley yesterday inspecting proposed sites for the cs- tablishmcnt of the new experiment farm which 1t is proposed to locate here instead of the present one ad- joining the fair grounds, which has been outgrOWn.
 The last session of the legislature after much pressure passed an ap- Fl 1opriation of $3O,OO0 providing for the purchase of a suitable 160-acrc tract to be used for experimentaI farm purposes. It vas stipulated that the farm must be in the Salt River valley as the work to be done would deal largely with Salt River valley conditions.
 It is in obedience to this mandate of the legislature that the board of re- gents was busy yesterday. Fully rinety miles were covered in the days tune and nnumcrablc sites already proposed and some to be suggested and some suggested :tt the time.
 A number of school sections were inspected as it was believed by the regents that if anything like a title t. the water can be obtained d school section will be obtained because of the less cost to the state. of course if such a section should have inn Frovements upon it, the improve lnents will have to be appraised and sold.
 All sections of the valley are anx- ious to get the farm located in that district.
