THE LIFE FOR ME-

John Clancy, who has cruised
in the navy and served an army
enlistment, he says, found himself
in the Reno police court, wearing half
a shirt and bearing a much swollen
black eye. Clancy laid his troubles
to the fact that he stopped being a
sailor to work on railroad construc-
ton near Susanville, says the Trib-
une.
He admitted, under the question
ing of Police Lieutenant Nichols, who
was acting city attorney, that each Of
the men in the group of laborers
who went through Reno from Susan
Vile, bought a quart bottle of whis-
key before leaving the lumber camp.
However. he thought he was not
drunk when he reached Reno. He
says he was taken from the train by
a party of civilians headed by a po-
lice officer, who left him in the sta
ton. In so doing the right side Of
his wooden shirt was torn from his
body, including the pocket hal held
a five dollar bill and three dollars in
silver. He had $40 in the other side
pocket.
After leaving the station. Clancy
admitted, he went to a saloon and
became intoxicated. 1t was here, he
thinks, that he was struck in the eye.

rls, an Indian girl convicted of rails
ing the face value of postal money

WILL NOT PAY INSURANCE.

The clouds Of war lowered over the
eounty of Washoe Monday. when the
fathers thereof who are the county
commissioners. decided to pay no at
tention to the demand of the State
Industrial commission TO contribute
a percentage of the county payrolls
70 the Industrial insurance fund.
This will precipitate some legal ac-
ton, IL is expected for the county au-
thorities take the position the county
is not liable for percentages under the
industrial insurance act, whereas the
members of the commission take the
contrary view, says the Reno Journal.
The dispute has been hanging fire
for some time. The commission sew
eral months ago sent in a request
ina the county submit a list of m
ployes under payroll that their pro-
rata insurance premium might be de-
termined. This was not acted on.
Monday the matter came up again on
a more peremptory request and the
commissioners definitely refused to
contribute.
The law provides that each em-
ployer coming within the meaning of
the act must pay the percentages set
fcrth on the 18th day of each month
beginning August. 1913. The
ty officials contend the county is not

POSTMASTER JACOBSON
SEEMS TO FILL THE BILL.

The Gardnerville post Office plot
thickens SO rapidly that it is with diff
ficulty one can keep up with the
many changes that are Jung in. On
Thursday after having given the
matter due and careful consideration
H. A. N. Todd declined the Office and
the honors attendant, though his
nomination had been sent to the sem
ate. Friday, after a conversation by
telegraph with the junior senator,
the Democratic county central COM
mittee was advised to cast about for
another likely candidate. Thees
gentlemen conferred upon Miss Ida
Pettigrew. who had in previous years
held a clerkship in the local office
under several postmasters, though
she said she was a Republican and al
ways had been. Late Friday after
moor it was reported that she had ac-
cepted the nomination, but with the
proviso that she would not take the
Office if the present incumbent, l.. r.
Jacobsen, cared to remain in office.
Then come the latest up to Saturday
evening, which consisted of her dec
lination even to accept the nomina-
ton. Now the Democrats are up in

ankle. The searching parties returned
to Rochester late Thursday. having
left a man to look out for Hage until
he Is able 10 walk again.
When he turned his ankle, Hage
struck off over a shortcut, realizing
the grim necessity of reaching camp
while his strength held out. Thus
he missed his partners, who took the
usual road to Rochester. He had a
scanty supply of food ond water.
For three days he continued the ex-
hausting struggle. dragging himself
alone with determination, for to give
ND the painful effort meant a linger-
ing death. He reached camp about
the time his partners reached
Rochester, the point from which he
had started seventy hours earlier.
BY following his tracks over the
hills of the Humboldt range, the
searchers came across his camp fires.
They were close together showing
how short was the distance he was
able to make each day.
Although painful in the extreme,
Hayes injury is not so serious as to
raise any doubt of recovery. Fol a
time his ankle made the issne of lie
and death uncertain, but being now
under good are he is expected to be
himself again in a short time.

Is the Navy Yard to Move:

High hopes are being cherished In New Jersey of
transfer Of the Brooklyn navy yard 10 the Green
Vile region OF Jersey City as result Of Secretary
Daniels's forthcoming visit 10 the latter scene OF
smoke and politics 1t is understood that on June
he will spend the day cruising around the harbor
in the company Of the New Jersey delegation in Con
gress and there are enthusiasts in lower Hudson
County who expect June or 3, at latest TO see
the Cob Dock towed around and moored over Rob
bins Reef and the drydOcks pulled up by the roots
and replapted on the Greenville shore.
From some points of view the Jersey City site is
undoubtedlv preferable TO that in Brooklyn. There
is q far more extended frontage on the capacous ex-
panse of the Bay instead Of on the narrow and tide
swept East River. There is also direct access from
nine or ten trunk railroads without need of lighter

he possible 10 assemble practically the entire fleet
in front of this one navy yard if for any reason it
were desirable 10 do so.
On the other hand the Brooklyn site has some
decided advantages. including the not unimportant
one of seclusion We do not recall that any trouble
or serious embarrassment has been suffered on ac-
count Of the comparative narrowness of the water
