A dispatch from Quincy, Cal,
says that Sheriff Robertson of

j. B. johnson a porter of a Western
Pacific train. yesterday when Miss
Annie McKensie decided not to Ere
turn to Elko, Nevada, to prefer
charges agaist the man who is said

Miss McKensie did not complain
to the conductor until the train had
neared the California line. I'm
mediately he telegraphed ahead.
Sheriff Robertson met the train at
Marston and johnson was brought
to Quincy. The charge would have
to he preft red at Elko and as Miss

ANOTHER LUCKY FIRE

Betweens9 and 10 o'clock this NOR
ming, u fire started in the residence
formerly owned EX-SENATOR Hunter
on Commercial street and occupied
Mr.. Clinton and family.
The hose carts were on the ground
shortly after the alarm sounded
and good work was done by volun-
teers in fighting the fire. The fire
evidently started between the cell
ing and roof from the kitchen stove
and was very difidlltE TO get at.
The volunteers stuck to tie work,
however, and saved the house. The
roof mas badly da aged and the
interior of the house was damaged
with water. The furniture and
PERSONAL effects of the Clinton
family were saved
h The house is now the property
4of Mr. Ed. Carville. 1t will cost
considerable to repair the damage.
It was another of Elko's lucky fires.

NOT SO EASY

To many persons, intervention
by the United States In Mexico
may seem an easy thing. And so it
is in a way. 1t is easy to invade
that country but to stay there long
enough to conquer the Mexcians and
dictate terms of peace, is a horse
of another color.
Mexico to begin with, is a large
country for m litary operations. 1t
is nearly five times as large as Cali
fornla, nearly four times greater
than Germany, and three times as
large as all Austria Hungary. Its
territory, which is divided among
twenty even states, has an extreme
length of 1000 miles, with maxi
mum of75O.
That great area has a population
Of about IA. 900, 600, of which it
has been estimated that 1000 900
are caDable of bearing arms. The
Mexican army, on a war footing.
assuming it to be united, has been
set:do@n in recent years at 80, 900
including a reserve of go 900. Of
the total population 38 per cent is
Indian, but the'I'Indian races of
Mexico haven hspast shown them
selves to be good fighteas, On oc-
CASTOR. Nearly half the popula
ton, in fact, is a mixture of native
Indian with Spanish stock or other
foreign blood. Bee.

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Many Superstitlons Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially In OIden Times.

Superstition never clustered round
any episode of life more than that Of
The wedding day, especially In olden
times. IT, =,
Then 1t was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with .
bunch Of rosemary, tied up with rib
bons. on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever.
In Yorkshire the old superstition
still abounds that nothing more un-
lucky could happen than for a newly
made bride to leave the church by q
different door from that by which she
entered.
Another quaint custom, for which
there Is no known origin, is that
practiced in some of the midland and
northern counties. This is to ring q
merry peal Of the church bells al the
first reading Of the banns Of an In
tending matrimonial couple. 1t IL
called the spur peal" which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply ask"
or course 1t is well known that II
lis the height of luck for the bride-to-
be to dream Of fairies the night before
the actual ceremony. So much was
this idea believed in that many girls
would peruse fairy tales before going
