To AN old
WOMAN WINS $4,000
Mrs. 0ster Of Denver Rewards
Young Man.

Denver.-For being courteous to an
aged woman Robert Reiner has been
left So, 900 in her will, but Mrs. Chris
tina j. Evans. who took care of the
same old lady's dog until the dog died.
for which. she says, she was promised
$500 in the will. had to start suit in the
district court against the estate In
order to collect the money she said
was due her.
The old lady was Mrs. Celia Oster,
She was worth about 100000 when
she died q short time ago and divided
her money and property among a num-
Der OF friends and heirs and made sew
eral requests to charitable institutions,
but Reiner came In for the rest Of the
estate, receiving $4,000 from it and
all of the money Mrs. Oster bad In two
Denver banks, amounting to $4,000.
Mrs. Oster became a widow a num-
Der of years ago and, being childless,
found that nobody was kind to her
unless he was well paid for his
little services. Reiner, however, she
found to be n different sort. although
a young man. He entertained Mrs.
Oster In ways and never
asked anything in return. When she
died he found he suddenly had become
rich.
When Mrs. Oster made her will she
left $500 to be paid to Mrs. Evans
for taking care of her dog. Daisy, until
the latter's death. Daisy died In July.
1913, and shortly before Mrs. Oster's
| death she made a codicil to her will In
| which she revoked the bequest to Mrs.
| Evans.

OF
Agronomist at Brookings College
Makes Suggestions to Farmers.

Bookings. June 25.--The time to
cut alfalfa depends more upon the
condition of the small shoots at the
crown of the plant than ii does upon
the bloom. according to Manley
Champlin, assistant agronomist at
the state college.
THE blooming of alfalfa depends
upon the seasonal conditions and is
therefore a very poor indicator of the
time when alfalfa should be cut. 1t
is better to cut 1t when the small
shoots appear at the crown Of the
plant and every effort should be made
to cut the alfalfa promptly, a ii
these second shoots are cut off. the
second crop will be set back from one
to three weeks, thus losing valuable
time in the making of the crop. Some
seasons the alfalfa will be half in
bloom and other seasons will scarcely
be in bloom at all when ready to cut.
As long as moisture is in abundance,
the plant makes a vegetative growth;
when it is dry. on the other hand, IL
attempts to reproduce itself and
therefore blossoms abundantly in the
same manner as has often been noted
that wheat heads out on a very short
straw in a very dry season.
The alfalfa should be cut and al
lowed to lie In the swath from two
to four hours. 1t should then be
raked into punches and allowed tG
dry enough 81 that when a wisp ii
twisted, water drops will not bt
squeezed out of it. 1t is then ready
to be moved away or put in the
stack.

month. The fruit crop in this section
and other parts of the west, has
called for the use of more cars than
had been expected.
A like condition exists all over the
west, railroad officials declare, the
crops summed up being more than so
per cent better than they have been
in the last twenty-five years. AS a
result 1t is feared by some that the
effects of a car shortage will be ex-
perienced in this section.
Officials declare that it will become
necessary to engage more men, and
they predict a brighter future in all
lines of business as a consequence OF
the heavy crop movement.

DARING RESCUE or CHILD.
Reading Laborer Carries Two.year-old
to Safety With Teeth. =


Reading. A tw~o-year-old child. Mary
Periorna. wandered from her home,
neal the old Seyfert furnace, to be dis
covered several hours later on a decay
ing bridge 100 feet above the Reading
railway tracks. A strong breeze and
the weakened bridge made her position
extremely dangerous, and the only
way to reach her quickly was by a
rough climb up the precipitous side of
a cinder bank.
Stephen Circella. a young Italian Ia.
borer. was the hero who rose to the
occasion. While hundreds of neigh
bors watched he climbed the sharp

hands and legs, crawled out on the
shaking bridge structure. seized the
belt of the little girls dress between
his teeth and carried her thus back to
safety and her anxious parents

MAY SLAUGHTER

The Silver state gives the fol-

who dug out of the Winnemucca
Jail, the other night:
May Slaughter first gained coun-
ty-wide ~notoriety in the summer OF
1908 at which time she and her
reputed husband. Ed Slaughter,
were conducting q "laundry', at
Tiptop, a mining camp in the
southern part of the county. On
June IL a miner and rounder nam
ed "Tex" Cockrell shot and killed
M. E. Jacoby in the oman's bed
room. At the preliminary exami-
nation held before Judge Robins a

OF PONY
EXPRESS RIDERS DEAD

Jack Lynch, last Of the pony
express riders. is dead. The Mother
Lode Magnet announces the simple
fact. but the life of Lynch was fill
ed with incidents of a most stirring
variety that should find a place in
the history of the state. The editor
of the Bonanza knew him in his
prime and learned to admire the
sturdy horseman, who never failed
to regale a crowd with adventures
that would put the old time dime
novel out of business if they could
be photographed by the pen of
some capable writer.
Jack was 81 years of age ac-
cording to the records of the
county hospital Of Sonora, CAL,
where he died and was a
netive Of Massachusetts. For over a
year he had been paralyzed and
unable to leave his room. For the
last 20 years Jack had been a resi-.
dent Of Tuolumre county but the
best part of his life was spent in
Nevada.
As a pony express rider Jack
Lynch had few equals and thou
sands of dollars changed hands
daily in Virginia City on the
strength Of his riding. This was
clear, unadulterated sports, famed
by an enormous stake in the shape
of popularity for the man who
made the greatest winnings at the
game Of carrying the mail from
Reno tn Virginia City at a speed
that was the nearest approach to
telegfaphic transmission ever re-
corded in the western country. Jack
may be said to have been a Virginia
City product, since he came to
the old camp when a mere boy
and took to the saddle as easily as a
gosling takes to water. During
the early days of the Comstock
lode the difficulty of communicate
ing with the outer world was in the
hands of Wells Fargo. The mail
carried by that company was hand
led at the rate Of twc-bi,s a letter
and the business was so great that
the Adams Company WAS organized
to compete with the old t~ransconti-
mental carrier. The fight for supre-
macy lasted IL days and through
the fundamentally OF such men as
Jack Lynch the Wells Fargo won
and the opposition company with
drew.
Between Reno and Virginia City

graue, with It's III per cent hills
and dangerous declivities. The
distance was Il miles and 13 horses
were used on each trip. The change
was effected every mile and a half
or two miles. There WAS no fixed
station ard the rider had to be
ready to swing off and on whenever
and wherever he caught the relay.
1t was q ace of the most exhaustive
character and men and horses
we're all in at the end of the
journey. The express companies
brought into the field a bunch Of
American horses with fine Kentucky
strains uf blood as the pace was too
hot for the wiry bronchos used
