This morning three shots i'll close
succession startled some of the resi-
dents on the usually peaceful and
quiet Telegraph Street. east OF Car
son Street. The shots were followed
by the pitiful howIing of dog,
which later proved to be the valuable
setter belonging to Captain Donnelly
of the State Police
The shots took fatal effect and al
though the animal endeavored to
reach its home, it fell by the way.
side.
After considerable inquiry amongst
the neighbors along that street it
heard the shots and the wailing of
the wounded animal. but no one could
be found who was able 10 tell who
did the shooting.
Aside from the brutal shooting OF
the animal city ordinance was also
violated and the probability OF en-
dangering the lives Of human beings
by shooting three shots from rifle
or other weapon. On this charge
alone the offender should be appre-
hended as it is certainly most dang
erous practice to discharge firearms
within the city limits and in populous
neiehborhoods.

welcome such a plan as it would
practically place the Washoe Indians
on a reservation.
1t is a strange but true fact that
the Washoe Indian is the only tribe
in Nevada that is not under govern

same time it can be chronicled that
the Washoe Indian at the time of the
early uprisings lent assistance to the
struggling whites who settled in
Western Nevada. Their reward for
such work was the hatred OF the
Piutes and Shoshone Indians and the
ingratitude of the government and
