No one could truthfully deny that
most of the small farmers of Dilmouth
we're addicted to MISUNDERSTANDING
tools chiefy-although as occasion
arose they would borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness.
The burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried to
keep them in condition for use. The
advent of a new farmer, a well-to-do,
man who brought with him almost
every known appliance for tilling the
ground, seemed to open an avenue OF
escape from some Of his troubles.

nearest neighbor and an inveterate
borrower, came for the wheel hoe,

wheel broken. Jake went to the shed
and examined the hoe, and then re-

and his son were grinding scythes.

The late William Spinner who
died at Eureka, Nevada, a few
years ago, was the telegraph oper-
ator at Eureka from 1871 until his
death. He worked with Edison as
q telegraph operator in Toronto,
Canada, in the 81 tties. They reliev

Spinner described Edison as the
LATEST fellow he had ever met. Said
that he was always from 10 minutes
to half an hour behind in relieving
him at the keys and that he was q
lazy, shiftless, dreamy fellow, VIII,
did not seem to have his mind upon
his work and didn't care about 1t
and he was discharged for those
reasons. Mr.. Spinner made those
remnrks soon after Edison invented

STATESMAN vs. GUNHGRTER
FOB skAGcs m LATTER roll

Bob Skaggs. the erstwhile states
man. has developed into q w1uld-be
gunfighter For several years he
was interested in mimi" claims at
Bullion with James Burke and
others. but through some means is
said to have lost his interests in the
camp. The claims are now incor-
porated under the name of the Bull
lion Nevada Copper Mines comp any
and the property is in charge Of A.
r. Cation as superintendent and Mr..
Burke.
Mr.. Cation has been at the White
Sulphur Hot Springs west Of town
for some time. Thursday Mr..
Burke and VIM. Graham came in
for provisions and left for Bullion
Friday morning with a load of sup.
plies. On the way out they met
Superintendent Davis coming in.
Mr.. Davis stopped them and told
them that Bob Skaggs and another
man had gone to the mines with
shotguns to take possession of them
and that Skaggs had requested him
(Davis) to tell Burke that he would
kill him if he came to the mines.
Mr.. Burke paid no attention to
the threat and drove through Bull
lion and on to the mines. When
within 100 yards of the buildings
OH the property, Skaggs, armed
with a double b~arrelled shotgun,
met them in the road and ordered
them to stop or he would kill them,
emphasizing his threat with vile
names. Burke paid no Alteration
to the command and drove on.
The command was repeated and
Skaggs cooked both barrels of the
gun and took aim. Burke then
turned leisurely around, drove back
to Billion, fed his team and then
drove to Elko, reaching here about
~ o'clock last might.
This morning he swore to a com.
plant against Skaggs, charging
him with drawing and exhibiting q
deadly weapon in a rude, angry
and threatening manner. Judge
Castle issued a warrant for Skaggs
arrest and Sheriff Harris went after
him this forenoon.
Skaggs' companion is said to be
Sid Ireland, a worthless sort of a
fellow who hungN around Bullion
nearly all winter. y
1t is supposed that they drove
the Chinese cook from his quarters
TO the bunk house, where Mike
Donnelly and Jack Carroll were
staying. If so it is probable that a
charge o. burglary will be placed
against both men.
1t is a long way from a states
man to a gunfighter and a long
time since armed men took forcible
possession of property in this coun-
ty. Skaggs has tried litigation for
the possession of these mines and
failed. Whether he has a just
claim to the property we do not
know, but VIC do know that it is
tro late in the day in this county
to enforce just or unjust claims to
mining property with double tar-
