HISTORIC PHOTO
AT NIXON TUESDAY

One of the surest ways Of Impress
ing historical facts on the minds Of
readers, students and amusement
seekers is through the avenue Of ro-
nance. That Mr.. George Keine has
recognized this fact is evidenced
particularly in his latest big photo
drama production, ssFor Napoleon
and France, which will be the at-
traction at the Nixon opera house
Tuesday evening.
Although replete with spectacular
battle scenes that cannot fail to en-
thrall the auditors, they but form
the background for the romance that
predominates. The story Of this
great photo-drama relates that Capt.
Larive, decorated for valor, hero
in the eyes of his country, and the
favorite Of Napoleon, becomes the
lion Of the French court-then steep

YOUNG MAN ARRESTED
ON CHARGE Of BURGLARY

This morning a young man named
Lawrence +. Jones was arrested by
Sheriff Lamb and locked up in the
county jail, on a charge of burglary.
When the store of the +. Reinhart
company was opened up Thursday
morning, a new revolver was found
lying on the floor in the hardware de-
partment An investigation showed
that two new guns were missing
r. Zahren, who sleeps in the
store nights, then remembered
that he had been awakened the night
before by his little dog barking and
got up and went down stairs, but see
ing or hearing nothing went back to
he'd. The burglar had evidently en-
tered the store through an upstairs
window, departing the same way
The matter was reported to the Off
GERS, who had since been on the look
out for the revolvers. Yesterday
Jones was about town attempting to
raise money on the guns, and this
morning was placed under arrest, as
above stated.

GRASS VALLEY RAN(ntR
SOLVES WATfR PROBltM

The problem of whether Grass val
ley ranches can be successfully irri-
gated by pumping water from wells
seems to have been satisfactorily set
tied
Some two years ago August Bohnert
located half section of land, about
four miles south of town and last fall
moved his family up from Visalia.
California. Seventy acres were clear
ed and well sunk, good supply be-
ing obtained at depth of 102 feet,
the water coming to within 46 feet of
the surface. Everything was got in
readiness, and Monday night Mr..
Bohnert started pumping with a fve-
inch pump, which lifts about 600 gal
Ions per minute. The pump has been
kept going night ana day since being
started, and it is said that the water
in the well has not been lowered one
inch. 1t is thought that this well
could be used to irrigate the entire
$50 acres, but as matter of con-
venience another well will probably
be sunk at some distance from the one
now in use.

Of asbestos in 1913, now in press,

and more than half the world s sup
