NEVADA HAS DISTINCTION
OF BEING SCENE OF FIRST
TRAIN HOLD-UP OF AMERICA

Nevada is supposed to be a new
state" said an old NcVadan. a
septuagenarian, at the Rocky Noun
tain Club last night. "But let me
tell you right here that Nevada en-
joys the unenviable distinction of
having been the scene of the first
train robbery that ever occurred in
the world.
On the morning of November l,
1870, news was flashed throughout
the civilized world that the Over
land Express train that had left
San Francisco the previous uorn-
ing carrying gold to the miners at
Virginia City had been "held up"
and robbed near Verdi, station
ten miles west of Reno, and that
over $4,000 had been taken from
the Wells Fargo strong box by
masked men heavily armed. This
being the first train robbery in the
world. 1t almost took the public
breath away, and for a while caus-
ed great excitement and much
newspaper comment on two conti-
nents.
Every enemy of the law and or
der was vociferous in the praise of
the boldness anu nerve Of the per-
petrators of the robbery, and Ne
vada, acquired the dubious credit
of being the first state in the union
that could produce a set of outlaws
daring enough to stop and rob
express train. -
Immediately large rewards were
offered by the authorities of Was
hue county, by the state of Nevada
by the then Central Pacific Rail-
road company and by the Wells
Fargo Express for the apprehen-
sion of the robbers, the rewards
aggregating $4,000.
"Of the. officers who took prom
inent part in the arrest and convic-
tion of the train robbers the most
prominent was the late Jas H Kin
kead, superintendent of the Kin
kead Milling Co. at Virginia City
and inventor of the Kinkead mill.
In 1870 he was Under Sheriff of
Washoe County and it was he who
followed the small footprints
through the mountains until they
led him to the lair of the robbers.
He also collected most of the evi-
dence used at the trial and for his
services received most of the large
reward"
The sending Of these men to
the penitentiary almost wiped out
the stage robbing industry in Ne
vada for it Imprisoned the men who
for years had been stopping the
Wells Fargo stages. The officers
of Washoe and Storey counties had
long been convinced that "Jack"
Davis and Jonn Squires had been in
every hold-up but their work had
been 80 smooth that whenever they
had been before jury they had
succeeded in establishing reason
able doubt" A short time before
the robbery, Wells Fargo & Co mad
put on an extra guard to protect
their stages in addition to the re-
gular shotgun messenger and
guards travelled behind the coaches
on horseback and the gang soon
concluded that there was no more
easy money TO be had out Of the
stages; 80 they we're forced to
change their base of operations.
Chapman and Squires conceived
the bold idea Of holding up a rail-
road train. It was a remarkably
we'll concocted plan and all tho de-
tails we're worked out TO perfec-
tion. the only mistake being in the
selection of the men. They did not
need Gilchrist and Jones who we're
novices in the business and gave I'D

By all means break your land, or as much of it as possible, this fall, and break it deep. It is safe to go two inches deeper than you have plowed during the past year. It will pay in most instan- ces to use d sub-soiler after the turning plow. Remember that just as deep as you blow your land this fall you will have a stor- age for water and plant food next year when the crop is growing. The trough of the past season should emphasize the importance of deep fall blowing.
 We have good folks and good farmers in Arkansas, and I want to see all of the farmers getting the benefit of the best methods. Begin now to prepare for better farming next year. Do not over look the importance of stock.

on each side of fence posts. The ears of corn can be placed through the wire meshes, letting one end of the earnest in the mesh of one strip of wire and the other end of the ear in the mesh of the ot. her strip. This will make a simple homemade rack that can be suspended from the rafters in the barn if you like, and will make good way of drying the seed corn. In selecting the ears, get the best filled out ones from strong stalks.
 There are various s m p e methods of testing the seed for germination. You can take a piece of domestic and mark it off in squares and number the squar- es. Then take three or more grains from each ear, and place them in the squares, and number or tag the ear accordingly. Take the grains from different parts of the ear. Then cover the cloth with another, and roll it up and wrap it in piece of an old sack, or ssome such material. After this, soak it in warm water for about thirty minutes. and then take it out and lay away where 1t cannot freeze. Keep it moist un- til the corn sprouts well. Then ma k e an examination of the grains. If they germinate we'll and the roots put out are strong and healthy. save the correspond ing ears. If not, discard them. Continue these tests through the winter, as you have time, and when spring comes you will have good and reliable seed to plant. Seed corn that will germinate only 80 percent will depreciate your yejld ten bushels per acre, if your land will produce at the rate of fifty bushels per acre.
 Test your cotton and grain seed tee. By all means select your cotton seed this fall, taking into consideration the stock develop ment, and the boil. and all the characteristic that make good cotton. You will profit by it

Weekly Letter of John !. Page, Commissioner Mines, ManufaC-

The time is drawing near at hand to begin preparations Tor next years crops. Two matters of importance should be consider ed right now. One is seed select ion and the other is deep- fall blowing. The seed corn for planting next Spring can be se- lected during October and Nov ember. The best plan IS to go through the field and select the best ears by hand. and put then
 away to dry. You can make a good rack for drying corn for seed by the use of woven wire fencing. Take two strips SIX feet long, and place a sufficient numberof six inch blocks between the stripes and fasten then with staples, so they would have the same appearance as if two strips of wire fencing were fasteheo
