Mr.. Schraven will leave tonight
for Hike. where he has mining
property.
DR.. West received a message
from Horace Lane of Starr valley
this afternoon saying that one Of
his boys had been badly injured by
having n of his feet caught in q
hay press. The ankle was badly
crushed and broken. DR.. West at
tempted TO go up on No. 10 but
was not permitted TO go Oh account
of Deeth not being a stopping
point for that train.
An unidentified man committed
suicide at the Lcvelock freight de-
pot on May End by shooting him
self. In his pockets we're found a
whiskey bottle, a bottle of chloro-
form, a letter and a notebook, but
nothing by which the man could be
identified. In the note book was
found this message: "Too much
dissipation will drive a man TO al.
most anything" That message
should sink deep into the brains OF
some of Elkc's young man.

A BAD RULE

An incident happened in town
Tuesday afternoon that should not
pass unnoticed. We refer to the
refusal of the Southern Pacific to
permit DR.. West to go to Deeth on
No. 10. He had received word of
the injury of Horace Lanes boy
and tried to take No. 10 for Deeth
and Was refused because the train
did not stop there. AS a result he
was compelled to telegraph DR..
Olmstead at Wells to attend the
Young man. This caused a delay of
two hours in the arrival of a physi-
clan at the ynung mans home. Dur
ing this time he was bleeding pro-
fusedly and suffering great pain.
While We do not know the. rules
of the railroad company nor the
orders conductors work under, yet
it seems to the ordinary person that
in such cases as this physicians
should be permitted 10 ride on any
and all trains and that conductors
should have the right to stop their
trains at the physicians destination.
We understand that this matter
will not be permitted to rest and
hope it will result in more liberal
rules of the company in cases of
emergency such as the Lane case.

WHEN mr.. sKAGGs
was WEALTHY

-- "ewHH
In last evenings Free Press there
appeared an interview with Bob
Sxaggs in which the following oc-
ours: "At n time Mr.. Skaggs
was q wealthy man but the hard
winter of the eos took much Of his
wealth away"
We do not know where the Free
Press got the information that Mr..
Sksggs was a wealthy man before
the hard winter of the SOS, but
naturally suppose that it came
from Mr.. Skaggs If SO let US see
on what t1imsv grounds the state
ment is based. Having no recollec-
tion of Mr.. Skaggs being a wealthy
man before the hard winter of the
SOS we examined the assessm emit
roll of 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890 and
1881 to see if his wealth was taxed
during those years and the great
loss he2 suffered by the hard winter,
and the following is what we
found:
In 1887 the name of r. E. Skaggs
as an individual taxpayer does not
appear on the assessment roll, but
that Of the Skaggs Rros. does ap-
pear and R. f. was one Of the
Bros. That year the assessment
stood as follows:
Real estate and improvements,
$500; 6 horses, Sl75:1 wagon,
SIS; making a total of S105O.
In 1888 the following property
was assessed to the Skaggs Bros:
Real estate and improvements,
$500: first payment on land, S1OO:
3 horses, 500; 6 stock cattle,
$85: a wagons. SIPS: total, $121O.
In 1889 the following was as
sessed to Robert Skaggs:
Real Estate and improvements,
$500; z work horses, $3.50: 10 stock
cattle S120; 8 hogs $40; 3 wagons
$l25; machinery, $50: total s14e5.
In 1890, he wcs assessed as fol-
lows:
Real estate and Improvements
$500; 6 work horses. 5000; / sad
die horse, $50; 5 stock horses SIS;
Is stock cattle, $3.50. 8 wagons,
$l0e machinery, $50; total $l485.
In 1891, after the hard winter,
Mr.. Skaggs' assessment shows the
following:
Real estate and improvements,
$500; 6 work horses. $40. / saddle
horse, S25; z stack horses, slO5.;
2 mich cows, $50; wagons and ma
chinery, 500; total, $3.50.
In the summer of 1890, the as
sessment roll shows that Mr.. Skaggs
had property valued at $685. for
taxation, and in the summer of
1891. he was assessed on property
valued at $3.50, a difference be.
tween the two years of $l65. Sure
ly the loss of $165 would not make
q wealthy nan poor.
Now, if Robert E. Skaggs was d
wealthy man before the hard winter
of the COS, he was giving false re-
turns Of his property to the assess
or. But this cannot be because he
was called honest Bob" by his
friends.
The above is not written for the
purpose of deriding Mr.. Skaggs,
but merely for the purpose Of
showing the unreliability of tho
published interview. If there is no
more truth in that part OF the in
terview regarding his right to the
Bullion property than there is in
that part regarding his wealth in
1890 and the losses he suffered by
the hard winter, it is not worthy
of belief.

duced an amendment to the Sherman
law which would make illegal the

The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the
Sherman law. In section 2, in which
the supreme court injected the rule
OF reason" the words "in any degree"

read:
Every person who shall monopolize

gree, any part of the trade or com.
merce. among the several states, or

Concerning the question OF juris.
