Indian and Squaw Killed, Probably.

A Piute Indian known as Levi, and
his squaw, were found dead the first
of last week at camp on the west
side of Black Mountain, where Levi
had been cutting wood, The remains
of both had been nearly consumed by
fire and the camp had been burned to
the ground. Levi was hard drinker
when around any of the towns where
he could get whisky, but when away
from booze was good worker, The
bodies were found by Indian friends
from Schurz and were taken to the
Reservation for burial. Levi was a
half breed and a pretty intelligent
Indian. The Indians hereabouts are
of the opinion that both the man and
woman were killed and the wood camp
burned in an attempt to conceal the
crime.

SILOS WOULD BE GOOD FOR
DAIRYMEN.
Fresh, Green Food fof Mich Cows
Would Increase Milk Product.

Superintendent Dahl, of the Yering-
ton Creamery, has succeeded so far
in creating quite little enthusiasm
among the people of this valley who
are furnishing cream to the company.
A number of our farmers and dairy
men are arranging to improve their
herds to the end that they will event
ually have no scrubs and that each
COW may be made to pay her own way
and make a nice profit for her owner.
The company is also contemplating a
number of improvements on the plant
in the spring, and from all indications
the dairy business in this valley is
going to be one of the principal in
dustries from now on. Some months
ago the Yerington Creamery Com
pany was about out of business The
change has taken place on account of
getting somebody at the head of the
concern who knows the business from
the ground up. There is no reason
why it should not be a good paying
institution This is one of the finest
wild hay and with good bunch of
thoroughbred dairy cows there is no
reason why darvman here should
not make nice income.
In connection with this business we
understand that several of our dairy
men will erect slos next year in
which to cure and keep alfalfa for next
winters feed We do not know OF
silo anywhere in this district, but it
is an acknowledged fact by dairymen
in other States that the silo is one of
the necessary adjuncts to get the best
out of any dairy herd. Alfalfa makes
GOOD silage and there are other crops
that do the same. viz: COW peas, sor-
ghum, Kafhir corn, etc. Such ensi-
lage gives the dary COW a succulent
and tender food that greatly increases
the flow of milk in cold weather. and
it is also great food for pigs. In the
spring and summer time the cows nat
uraily get all the tender green food
they require, and ensilage is only to
be used to advantage in the winter
months.
Silos may be built of wood slaves
or concrete. the latter being prefer
able. and at cost of anywhere from
$50 TO $500, according to the size
and the material used. An ordinary
sized silo. 10 feet in diameter by 80
feet in height, can be built in the east
ern States of reinforced concrete for
about $3.50 The expense in this coun
try would be some greater. This IS.
not very large silo but would hold
enough ensilage for any dairy herd
that is now being MIXED in this valley.
Redwood stave silos are next to con
crete ones and cost almost as much,
while the concrete one will outlast
any other kind by many years.
1t might pay the dairymen of Mason
Valley to investigate this silo PROPOSE
ton, if they have not already done so.

YOUNG INDIAN GIRL COMMITS
SUICIDE.
Hangs Herself in City Jail After
Being Arrested for Drunkenness.

Tuesday afternon officer Erway ar
rested a young squaw who was found
in drunken condition back of the
Chinese restaurant, next to the Eagle
soloon. He brought the inebriated
girl to the lookup and placed her in
one of the cells The mother of the
girl came down and talked to the
girl through window in the cell
and the girl insisted that she would
kill herself if she was not let out OF
the Jail but no attention was paid to
her and officer, Erway went back UP
town to arrest fellow on charge
of vagrancy. The squaw, true to her
threat. tied her handkerchief to the
railing of the cot in the cell, then
around her throat. and half sitting
down and leaning forward strangled
herself to death. The act was dis
covered within few minutes after
it had been committed, and had some
one had the presence of mind to cut
the body down then the girls life
might have been saved When the
doctor arrived the girl was dead.
The squaw was a comely young girl,
neatly dressed and about sixteen years
of age. Her name was Ida Hudson
and her mother cried piteously as she
stood and saw the body of the girl
loaded into a wagon and taken to the
Piute camp in the south end of the
city, nor was she choice in her lang
uage in denouncing the white man and
his ways with Indian maidens. The
tragedy is the direct outcome of sell
ing or giving whisky to Indians by
white men. and the Indians are highly
incenSed about the matter Indian
women and men are complaining bit
erlv of their young daughters being
given whisky and debauched by white
men and some day the dispenser of
whisky to Indian girls is going to meet
up with some bad luck that the white
officers will have nothing to do with.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY HAS A
SUCCESSFUL RUN.
The Nevada Sugar Company Closes
Campaign for the Season.

The Nevada Sugar Company, of
Fa Ion, closed its factory last Sunday
after quite successful run of about
IS days Mr. H. ]. Long, of Mason,
who recently returned from Fallon.
gives us the following information
regarding the operations of the factory
for this season. The factory has ac-
tually used something over ll,OOO tons
of beets this season and made there
from in round numbers. $4,000 sacks
of sugar. This is far ahead of what
was done the previous year and the
sugar company has about made ex-
penses and is considerably encouraged
over the future outlook Farmers in
the vicinity the factory who fur
nished beets this year made nice
profit from their ground, some getting
net returns of as high as $l20 per acre.
These farmers will increase their acre
are next year and those who did not
raise any beets at all last summer will
put in some acreage next summer.
During the run at the factory the COM
pany employed 1870 or l40 men and
disbursed considerable amount of
money for labor and supplies. The
pulp left from the beets is being used
by dairymen in and around Fallon and
they find it a good feed for milch
cows. Besides the sugar produced
this year by the company nearly
thousand gallons of molasses was
also made, Mr.. Long purchased a
carload of sugar made in Nevada this
year and probably the entire output
of the factory will be handled by the
patriotic firms of this State who be-
lieve in oatronizing home industries.
Mr.. Lone has disposed of consider
able quantity of this sugar to Mason
Valley merchants J. NJ. Feeny, of
Wabuska has taken quite lot; the
Thompson Mercantile Co. also pur-
chased some; LAM Hanson & Neither
ton, J. c. Gallagher and Will McDon-
ough, of Yerington, are handling the
!. Nevada product; the Readings. of
Wellington and Hudson are selling it,
and the Mason Mercantile Co is doing
the same.
1t was expected last spring that
quite number of beets would be rails.
ed in this valley for the sugar factory
this season. but the onlv ones that
were shipped from Yerington were
those raised by Mr.. Lammori. There
were two carloads of these. and they
weighed about SIS tons, and were rails
ed on less than three acres of ground
There were several other patches of
beets raised in the valley. and the ton
mage to the acre was good, going from
10 to "a tons, but those who raised
them concluded to feed the tubers to
stock instead of shipping them

Indian Commits Suicide.

An Iudian who was known by the
name of Johnny Reymers, committed
suicide last Sunday night at the Piute
camp south of Bridge street in Yer
ington. He took a sure and speedy
route, using an old shotgun, placing
the muzzle against his breast and pull
ing the trigger with his toe, having
taken off his shoe for this purpose.
The charge of shot ranged upward
and blew horrible hole in the man
body. causing instant death. The In
dian had been working for Henry
Slingerland for some time and was a
hard drinker at all times when he
could get whisky Sunday he and
some other Indians had been on a
spree and on the evening of that day
'Reymers concluded that it was about
his time to shuffl off. and he did so in
the above described manner.

Smith Vally Mines-President Ad-
ans, of the Smith Valley Mines Co.,
received word by wire Thursday from
Superintendent Parr, at the property,
to the effect that rich ore had been en-
countered in the face of the tunnel
being run on the ground. This tun-
mel will reach depth of 80 feet below
the bottom of the shaft 1t is not
known how extensive this strike is,
but the whole face of the tunnel is in
ore and it is high-grade stuff This
is thought to be the same chute of
ore opened on the 200-foot level in
the shaft. as it is identical in charac-
ter. If this proves to be the case this
property will have the biggest gold
showing of any mine in this section
of the State.
Geld Prospect-Al Bovard and H
c. Knight have located some prom
ising gold ground on the east side of
the valley, about eight miles from
Yerington. They brought some of
the ore in from there this week and
some of the samples pan we'll They
have received assays that run better
than 500. The paintings seen by the

really will do. If it proves satisfac

ground extensively

Parts Which They Played in the Dixie
Chorus.
Those who saw the Dixie Chorus
will recall Mr. Williams of the pres
ent d xie Quintette as the imperson-
ator of the character Mandy both in
the preclude entitled Superstitions of
the Negro" and in the Epic of the
Negro"
Mr.. Johnson of this quintet is the
first man who took the part of Uncle
Remus" in the Dixie Chorus.
Mr.. Turner impersonated "Old
Black Joe" in the Epic of the Negro"
and Mr.. Goodbar took the juvenile
comedy part in the "Cottonfield
Sketch" In fact the four just named
comprised the vocal quartet which APP
peared throughout the Dixie Chorus
renditions.
Four of this company have been
upon the platform for years, having
been with the older jubilee quartets
prior to going with the Dixie
A Glimpse of Their Program.
In the program of the Dixie Quin-
tet. there will be vocal solos and in
strumental work in addition to the
quartet work and jubilee music which
is always so enjoyable in colored or
ganization Mr.. Goodbar's tenor so
los, Mr.. Williams characteristic songs
