Another Rabid Coyote story

A coyote was standing at the door
when John Horgan emerged from his
house Tuesday morning. John backed
up to get his artillery and in the
meantime the animal made its appear
ance at the home of August Kunecke.
The light infantry at the Kunecke
house Immediately got into action and
the coyote entered the lot of j. b..
Whits n, meeting that gentleman just
as he came out of the house. Mr.. Whit
son made a hurried retreat and came
back with a shotgun with which he
pursued the animal to the north end
of the lot. AT the first shot fired by
Mr. Whitson it turned on him with
open mouth, but two more shots drop
ped it at a distance of forty feet. The
actions of the coyote denoted that it
was mad. 1t had made a trip through
town before dawn and various persons
heard it fighting with dogs. A report
is current that mad coyote was kill
ed near the AXE ranch and another
near the Lockman place some few days
ago.-Elmore (Idaho) Times

Bad weather For shearing

The past week has been so cold and
rainy that little progress has been
made with shearing at the Winnemuc-
ca corrals. Should the weather hold
good. II is expected that Charles Gar
teiz win have finished by the last OF
the week.
The past winter was rather hard on
sheep, owing to the scarcity OF teed
on the ranges, and now that shearlng
and lambing time is here, the stock IS
found to be in weakened condition,
with the chances that there will be
large loss, estimated from six to ten
per cent.

The Hot Springs Hotel

The Golconda Hot Springs hotel,
which probably covers more ground
space than any other hostelry in the
Intermountain country, is being re-
modelled, under the prsonal supervision
of E. L. Dutertre, its owner. The man
agement of the hotel business has been
placed in the capable hands of J. j.
Peterson.
Among the many improvements will
be large new diningroom adjoining
the present one on the west The old
dining-room will be converted into a
parlor.
The hot springs bathing pool, which
is known to contain specific cure for
rheumatism and other human ills, will
be fitted up with number of new
rooms, in addition to fixing up the
large number of old ones.
For the past six or eight years this
magnificent property has been rather
neglected by leasers, but last fall Mr..
Dutertre took the reins in his own
hands and proposes to make it what
was intended by nature, a great boon
to the suffering humanity of the entire
country.

SUBDUES A RIVER
TO WIN HIS BRIDE

Willard Holmes, in proving himself
the man to subdue the waters of the
Colorado and confne them to the ca
mails that were to carry them to the
desert, proved himself worthy of Bar
bara Worth, the wonderfully fascinat-
ing central figure in the dramatization
of. the novel of Harold Bell Wright,
which is soon to be seen in this city.
Until Holmes has won that battle and
proved his mettle, he was unworthy of
the love of such a woman.
At the time of his introduction to
the desert, Holmes was to be rated as
something of snob He looked upon
his ancestry as sufficient to stamp
him man worthy of high place in any
community. His schooling he rated as
emitting him to speak the last word
in engineering. He had to go up
against life in its fullest sense, prove
himself man, start all over again
and evolve from snobbery into full
manhood before he could hope to win
the woman fit to become his wife.
The West is maker of men. Before
its problems all gloss of birth and edu-
cation falls away. 1t calls only for the
man who can make good. Holmes had
to make good on one of the biggest
engineering achievements recorded in
the winning of the West Author and
playwright have wisely chosen this
battle with the water of the Colorado
river, which was made by the South
ern Pacific railroad eompany's engi-
neers in defense of the farms and
homes of the settlers in Imperial VAL
ley, for the crucial test of man who
had set himself the task of winning
the heart of woman of wonderful
strength of mind.
In The Winning of Barbara
WORTH the winning of the new and
untrammeled West by the scions Of
the older Eastern families is re-enact-
ed. 1t is the history of America put in
the best draamtic form. The fascin-
ating story ON which the play is found
ed is full of symbolism. Barbara
Worth, a child found alive in "The
Hollow of Gods Hand,n stands for
the new, the untainted, the untram-
meled West embodied in a woman.
Willard Holmes is the old, tradition
tied, polished in Eastern manhood. On
iy such cataclysm as the author en-
ploys could sffuice to bring these two
together. Holmes becomes worthy and
wins the love of Barbara. Had he fail
ed at any point in his evolution there
would have been a different story to
tell
On the stage "The Winning ofBar-
bara WORTH makes one of the great
est dramatic stories told in modern
times 1t is production which raises
the enthusiasm to the highest pitch,
while pleasing and satisfying at every
point.
This great drama will be given at
tht Nixon opera house next Monday
evening.
