PIUTE INDIAN WAS Re-
MONSTRATED WITH IN VAIN

Considerable romance was attached
to the life of the old Indian woman
who was buried in the cemetery at
Stewart this week, says the Carson
News. She was of the Pinte tribe
but committed tht objectionable sin
of marrying Washoe for her first
husband. This cut her off from her
own tribe and she was not recognized
by the members of her Husbands
tribe. In addition to this ostoracism
she was still further removed from
the conventions of the aboriginal SO
ciety by being almost totally deaf,
her only comfort and pleasure being
in the company of her grand children.
She was an interchangeable worker
in her younger days and this fact
gained her second husband after
the first one joined his brethren in
the happy hunting grounds. The first
husband was a stalwart buck, blind
in one eye and possessed of much in
nate hmor. On one occasion he ar
rived at the home of a Presbyterian
minister several years ago, attired in
the conventional rabbit-skin robe so
much affected by the Indians of those
days, and his wiry hair surmounted
by rusty 'stove pipe' hat. 1t was
Sunday morning and the minister was
dressing for the Sunday services,
when, much to his surprise, he heard
the unmistakable sound of wood
chopping in his woodshed. Investi-
CATION revealed old Tom merrily
ehopping wood in return for an ex-
peeted breakfast. Assuming as stern
a manner as it was possible for the
kindly minister to assume, he said.
Tom, don't you know it is Sun
dayf You mustn't cut wood on Sun
day With a twinkle in his eve and
pausing a moment with the axe in
the air, re retorted: 'Hell. Injun no
care for sunday and resumed his
work. And the best of the joke is
that the minister repeated the remark
with evident appreciation of the In
dian side of the story.

NEVADA RANGE SHEEP DIS.
dJSSfD BY PROF. KENNEDY

Nevada's range sheep in winter
from the scientists point of view,
Iare the subjects of an article in the
Pacific Rural Press of San Francisco
this week by Prof. P. B. Kennedy, of
the University of Nevada. Prof
Kennedy mixes with his observations
Oh the winter range grasses, includ
ing sagebrush, some interesting tales
of his experiences in the camps of
sheepherders.
From Shecpherder to Bartender.
OF one camp DR.. Kennedy writes:
"The social element was also to be
reckoned with in this camp. Our
camp-tender, a Frenchman, had con-
stantly with him small book which
he studied persistently after meals
and whenever time would permit. At
grst the writer thought it was a sort
oe Catholic prayer book and refrain
ed from asking questions. Finally,
however his curiosity got the best of
him and he ventured to ask. 1t seem
ed that our friends ambition was to
be bartender-although he did not
drink himself-and he was studying
assiduously how to mix drinks fancy
and otherwise. This about took nv
breath away, as his knowledge of
English was of the broken variety. A
few months after that he left the
sheep and became a bartender in a
French hotel. For several wears he
worked at this calling and saved
sufficient money to buy out the pro
prietor, and today is considered well
to do and respected citizen. When
recently in the senate of the United
States our sheepherders were arrangi-
ed as a set of ignoramuses, We were
reminded of this incident. Many simi-
lar ones might be cited, as a number
of the leading citizens of Nevada,
and we doubt not of many other
states as well were at one time lust
mere sheepherders. Caution is the by
word in democratic America when we
begin to call down our fellow be-
ings.'
Anti-Free Wool Argument.
Dr. Kennedy also writes:
"The grazing process is very sim
pie; the sheep feeding in the valley
and every other day driven to the
nearest snow on the foothills, which
they eat to take the place of water.
For drinking water the sheepherder
also uses snow which he packs to
camp on burros.
"The anxious time for the sheep
man is when the snow has left the
southern foothills and the weather is
still unpropitious in the north. In
traversing the intervening ridges he
is apt to be caught in belated spring
snowstorm which may come with such
violence and to such depth that the
sheep can neither retreat nor go for
ward. This is a pitiful sight. When
ever possible alfalfa is hauled to them
or road made, but more frequently
hay cannot be secured and the ami
mails perish from cold and hunger.
This is one of the reasons why Neva-
da sheepmen did not want free wool,
as many of them have passed through
lust such experiences with very heavy
losses.
ITO conclude, we desire to empha-
size the Importance of the preserva-
tion of the native forage plants of
Nevada. for even when all her avail
able lands are put under cultivation,
and all surface and underground wa
ters developed, there will still remain
vast areas of both mountain range
and valley that can only be untitled
for the raising of beef and mutton for
the less favored states.

CASE GOES TO JURY
This AFTERNOON

The defense rested in the Mendoza
murder trial at noon today, and at
o'clock counsel began their argu
ments before the jury.
Yesterday Vincent Mendoza took
the stand in his own behalf and re-
lated the story of the killing. He
stated that on the previous evening
he had met Mirail and Aramendia,
Duffurena' sheepherders, who told
him that some of his sheep had be-
come mixed with their band, asking
him to come to their camp early in
the morning and get them. Going to
the camp the next morning, he was
met by Mirail and Aramendia, who
told him to come up at noon and get
the sheep.
Witness claims he told them IL they
would not help him, he would go and
get the sheep himself AS he started
away, Mirail shouted, "You let those
shep alone, or ! will make you. I"
Gancing up he saw that Mirail had
his gun trained on him, and stepping
quickly TO one side he drew his own
gun from his shoulder and fred, the
bullet striking Mirail between the
eyes. Decease fred at the same time,
but the bullet went wild.
In support of defendants s statement
that Mirail fred at him, the defense
introduced testimony to show that an
empty cartridge was found in the gun
of deceased, found lying beside him
where he fell.
Last evening and this morning de-
fense put ON large number of wit
nesses to prove Mendoza Is good char
acter, including ]. Sheehan, Amson
Reinhart, Frank Garteiz, Harry
Numa, John Saval, Angel Aboitiz,
Fred Wilkinson, and others.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon Judge
Robins was addressing the jury, hav-
ing been preceded by Attornew Salt
er. He will be followed by the
closing argument of the district at.
torney, after which the case will be
submitted to the jury.

THE VALUE OF
AN OUNCE OF GOLD

Some shippers of gold think that
gold is worth $40 per ounce because
that is what the smelters choose to
pay. Others accept $40 and feel sat.
isfed, while those who wish to be
more exact calculate the value of gold
at $20.67. Now if you want to get
right down to the quinteseenee OF
facts, an ounce of gold is worth
$20.671s34. 1t was an act of congress
in 1884 in which the weight of fine
gold in dollar was established at
2.22 grains. Now an ounce Troy con
tains 4s0 grains Troy. One gold dol
lar contains 2.22 grains Troy of fine
gold. One ounce is worth 4S0 divided
by 1922 equals $20.671S34. One would
naturally ask why did they not make
it a whole numberf

WEST VIRGINIA MINERS
RENEW INDUSTRIAL WAR
Coal Workers Call New Strike in
Cabin Creek Districts-Senate
Quiz Still On.

Charleston, w. ", June 18.-It is
reported that the industrial war in
the Paint and Cabin Creek mine~dis-
tricts has been renewed The senate
mine strike committee continued it's
examination of witnesses. During
Monday miners, detectives and agents
Of the mine operators came down
from the strike region with tales OF
a new strike declared and the district
again thrown into disorder.
The local union of the United Mine
Workers of America, No. II, has not
called a new strike on Paint and Cab
in creeks. Thomas Haggerty, a mem
Der of the international miners board,
declared.
But we cannot be sure of the men
who are working up in the field he
said. "The operators have not lived
up to the agreement under which the
men went back to work and which was
drawn by Governor Hatfield. II We
have tried to prevent further strike,
but I am convinced the miners up
there already have decided not to con-
tinue to work under the conditions
which prevail there now. Meetings
were held in the creeks and the men
expressed dissatisfaction with condi-
tons. They decided to strike, and the
union cannot cotrol them"
A committee Of miners from the
Cabin Creek section came to Charles
ton to urge the United Mine Workers
officials to call general strike. They
bore the instructions OF mass meet
ing held in the hills Monday.
The testimony presented to the sen,
ate committee was largely routine and
cumulative.

HABIT OF THINKING.

Has the old-fashioned habit of
thinking passed out Of practice?"
asks a magazine writer in discussing
the increasing tendency toward i'm
pulsive and restless action on the
part of the American people. It
would be unfair and untrue to an
swer the question Complementary
and say either yes or no, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times The writer
Of the magazine article is clearly
pessimistic, and seems to favor the
affirmative side of the question, and
suggests many national ills that flow
from the too prevalent disposition to
act first and think, If at all, after
ward. The arguments he adduces in
support Of his unhappy contention
are largely congratulations from iso-
lated facts. Careful, deliberate
thought as a preparation for action
in all the affairs of life is still in ex-
istence. Wider opportunities for the
training of the mind in youth has
doubtless increased the number Of
thinkers" among the workers of the
world. What is true, however. and
may be very justly used as a text
for sermonizing is that the swift &C
ton that life requires these days and
the whirligig of events into which one
Is plunged on the very threshold of
responsible endeavor is destructive Of
the old methods Of meditation and
self-communing that developed the
minds and judgments of our grand
fathers.

MORO BATTLE ONE OF
THE FIERCEST FOUGHT
Brigadier General Pershing Describes
Fight at Bagsak, on the Is
land of Jolo.

Washington, June 16.-Brigadier
General Pershing in cabling the war
department Friday concerning the
fight with Moros at Bagsak, Jolo, de-
scribes the conflict as probably the
fiercest ever fought since American &C.
cupation"
The Moros made desperate attempts
beaten back. Their leader, Anil, and
several other notorious outlaws were
reported killed. The total loss Of the
Moros was not learned
One American officer, Taylor A.
Nichols of the Philippine scouts, was
killed. First Lieutenant Edwin H.
Rackley, Philippine scouts, was slight
ly wounded. Three Philippine scouts
of the Forty-first company, all natives,
were killed.
General Pershing's report was made
before the end Of the battle. General
Bell has called for details of the con-
clusion.
June 49," says General Pershing's
report, "the Moros' resistance at Bag
SAX was formidable and their fort and
trenches on the precipitous side of the
crater not only supported each other
strongly, but were defended with mod.
ern arms.
1.-THE Moros fanatically and continu-
ously tried to rush the American lines,
but the careful disposition Of our
force held the American loss to a
minimum.
Maj. George G.. Shaw of the Philip
pine scouts commanded the right wing,
with Company M, Eighth regiment,
United States infantry. and Fourth
company, Philippine scouts.
"Capt. Taylor A. Nichols of the
Philippine scouts commanded the left
wing( with the Fifty-first, Fifty-second

"A mounted gun was with each wing
and proved Of great assistance At
the close of the day Capt. Patrick Moy-
Ian of the Philippine scouts, with two
companies, was supporting the gun on
Mount Bunga, and the American force
occupied controlling position on the
rim of the croter."

CURRENCY BILL
IS NOW READY
Draft of Measure Approved by
Members of Committees.
GIVES SYSTEM OF RESERVE
Government, Banks and Business All
to Be Represented on Boards Of
ControI-Will Be Presented
to Bodies for Approval.

Washington, June 1.-THE final ten
tative draft of the proposed banking
currency measure has been completed.
Senator Owen and Representative
Glass, chairmen respectively of the
senate and house banking and curren-
cy committees, in cooperation with
} Secretary McAdoo of the treasury,
prepared the bill and an outline of its
essential features is presented below.
The bill is ready to be submitted to
Democratic and Republican members
of the two committees, who will be
asked for suggestions for improving it,
Under the terms of the bill the coun-
try will be divided into Is geographical
subdivisions, in each of which re-
sional reserve association MAY be
formed
The federal board of reserve, which
the bill will establish at Washington.
would be vested with authority to in
crease the number of such regional
associations.
The national banks in each of these
subdivisions would be required to par
ticipate in the formation of the region
al reserve associations, while state
banks which met certain conditions
and requirements of organization
would be permitted to participate as
member banks of these associations.
There will be nine directors for each
regional reserve bank. Three of these
directors will be bankers elected by
vote of the directors of the member
banks divided into three groups. Three
other directors will be business men
10 be elected by the member banks,
while the remaining three will be ap-
pointed by the president of the United
States.
Under this plan it is believed neither
the government, the banks, nor the
public will control the selection of
these regional reserve banks, but they
will be named SO as to give the banks,
the government, and the public joint
representation.
Zach of these regional reserve as
sociations will be the reserve agency
for the member banks in it's respective
division of territory.
State banks desiring to joint these
associations and the national banks re-
quired to do so, will each subscribe to
the capital stock of the association in
it's region in an amount prorated on its
capital and surplus.
In each regional district the reserve
association will be the depository OF
the United States government.
Each regional reserve association
will be required to carry reserve OF
one-third to one-half Of its deposits.
The proposed federal board Of re-
serve, to be established at Washing
ton, will be superimposed on the en-
tire system of regional reserve associ-
atoms. This federal board will have
broad powers of supervision and regu-
lation.
