California Buyers Are
After Cattle And Sheep

The California cattlemen aro doing
a lot of hustling for cattle and sheep
in Nevada, says the Carson Appeal.
They. with the Nevada Packing
Company, are now meeting a rival,
as the Seattle and Portland buyers
are invading their territory. This
has resulted in the home buyers and
the California cattlemen making
quiet but determined raids into this
section, where the cattle are tied up,
The separate farms are visited and
there is hardly a day passes but that
some of the buyers are to be found
scouting about looking for cattle.
The scarcity of beef cattle is not
confined to the West entirely as the
reports from the Agricultural Bu-
reau confirms the report of a short
age of beef in all quarters.

MONNETTE PICKS A LEMON
Millionaire Who Made Fortune In Gold.
field Separates From His Bride

Los Angeles, CAL, August H.
Another chapter was to-day addedt to
the romantic career of Melvin ].
Monnette, a millionaire banker of
this city and formerly a mine per-
ator of Goldfeld, when it was an
nounced that he had separated from
his bride of two months. Monnette
made a big stake at GoIdfeld several
years ago from the celebrated Hayes
Monnette lease, on the Mohawk No.
2claim of the Goldfeld Consolidated.
Coming to Los Angeles Monnette
became interested in the banking
business, which has added largely to
his fortune. On a vacation trip to
Honolulu recently Monnette, who is
60 years of age, met Mrs. Elizabeth
Spencer, aged 80 and whose home is
at Denver.
Returning here they were quietly
married and made a two-weeks'
honeymoon trip. Mrs. Monnette
then went to Denver and has not re-
turned. Before leaving to-day for a
trip to Europe Monnette made the
statement:
1.-TWO weeks after marriage /
found it was a mistake. | thought
Mrs. Monnette would be a companion
in my home but | found that was not
what she married me for. There is
no question of a divorce at this time,
and there may not be. Financial
matters have been satisfactorily adj
justed."

PaliSadG News Notes

Ben Plummer has returned to his
home at Mineral Hill from Elko,
where he has been under a doctors
care for the past three weeks. He is
now reported to be greatly improved.
Rachel Rand, who is a delegate of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, left for Reno last Sunday
where she will meet the rest of the
Nevada delegates and continue on to
the meeting of that Association in
San Francisco.
Jess Knight, who was engaged IN
hauling ore from Bullion district to
the Raine crossing on the Eureka
Nevada railway in Pine Valley, was
thrown from the seat of his wagon
last Saturday and me of the hind
wheels passed over his right arm.
]. A. Gilbert and several others who
were hunting sagehen in that vicin-
ity found the injured man and took
him to Palisade. DR.. Harper of
Carlin was ~telegraphed for, who,
after examining the injured arm de-
cided to take Knight to Ogden, Utah,
for surgical treatment. His arm
was very badly crushed and DR.. Har-
per could not determine then if the
arm could be saved from amputation.
Friday night of last week a man
by the name of Lewis G.. Ghiglio, a
miner, who had been working in the
iron mines at Barth, a few miles
down the river from Palisade, bought
a ticket for Ogden and when the
train pulled in at Palisade he at
tempted to get on from the wrong
side. He was warned by a brake
man to come over and get aboard
from the right side, but the train
started up just then, threw him to
the ground and the wheels passed
over both feet, cutting n COM
pletely off while the other is 81 badly
injured that there is but little hope
of saving it. The injured man was
taken to Elko for treatment.

Moving Goldfield Houses

Tonapah, Nevada, August H.
Fifty houses, some of them having
as many as five rooms, have been
moved across the desert in the past
three months from Goldfield to
Tonopah. One man has a contract
to nov Is more. The people of
Tonopah have found it cheaper to
buy houses in Goldfeld and move
them into Tonopah without tearing
them down than to build new ones.
One contractor moves a hve-room
house with 16 horses, and other
teams have as few as ten horses. 1t
is about 20 miles between the two
towns.

RIGHT OF FILING ON
A STREAM IS INVOLVED
Importance OF a Water Suit Now
Pending In the Nye County
District Court

Tonopah Bonanza: In the suit of
Sayler VS.. Kearney now on trial be-
fore Judge Averill the court verdict
may serve as an entering wedge to
dispute the jurisdiction of the State
Engineer whose authority has been
questioned in several cases where he
mterposed in the settlement of water
rights. The case at bar admits the
validity of the water right extend
ing back to 1868. but the defendants
ask for determination of their rights
acquired in 1911 when they took up
land under the desert act and filed on
800 acres on Peavine creek.
Under the law of 1907 it is de-
clared a crime to make a diversion
of water without having filed on the
same with the State Engineer. Say
Ter put in three acres of potatoes on
a new section of land below his
original location and cut a ditch to
divert water to irrigate the patch.
Then he concluded he could handle
20 acres more the same way and
planted that area, too.
In the meantime Harris and It'd
well had erected a dam at the end
of the line of Sayler's property for
the purpose of impounding water to
water their entry. By the diversion
of Sayler it is contended by Harris
and Tidwell that they have been de-
prived of water and ask for a decree
in their favor. They further allege
that Sayler never entered his recent
filing in the engineers office and
therefore he is not entitled to any
consideration other than as a tres
passer.
The validity of the State law is at
stake and the decision will be looked
forward to with great interest in
every county in the State.

not very communicative regarding
his mission here, it is generally
thought his visit of inspection means
that a movement is under way among
some of the stockholders of the Wind

sold at Sheriff's sale on February %
last to M. j. Hardigan for $l7,585.-
81, and which, according tolaw, must

DETERMINE AGE OF HORSES
Most Accurate Method Is by observa-
tion Of Teeth-Whole Story Told
In a Nutshell.

To tell the age of ncrse, says
Prof. e. L. Potter, Of the OregSr Agri
cultural college, notice his teeth, his
ribs. flesh on his tail and the skin on
his cheeks. In a young horse the
skin on his cheeks Is soft and elastic,
and flies back quickly. while in an
old one the skin is lifeless and goes
back to place but slowly. There is
WIDER more distant space apparent
between the ribs of an old horse than
of young one, and with age the flesh
on the tail shrinks, making the joints
more distinct.
The most accurate method of judg-
ing is by the teeth. The temporary
teeth come first, and then the per-
manent ones, and their development
to maturity, change the shape on
account of wear, coming of the cups"
and their ultimate wearing away, with
the change In angle 6f meeting from
perpendicular to an acute angle in
age. are all the important Indications
Of age.
The permanent teeth above and be-
low come in at the same time, but
the cups above do not wear away un-
I'll all those below are gone. The
changes begin at the center and con-
tinue at the rate of one pair year.
At maturity (hve years) horse has
,verything-all the permanent teeth
md their cups. This is the whole
hing in nutshell.
