been taken by DR.. A. Parker Lewis in
the effort to locate the bullet that
wounded Wilson j.. Thyes of Reno
when he was shot at Lovelock after
a quarrel with Aver Henkel, an auto.
mobile stage-line driver. formerly Of
Reno. says the Gazette.
DR.. Lewis says the wound has been
cleansed and an immediate operation
will not be required. Thyes Is at st.
Mary's hospital and is believed to
have a good chance Of recovery, pro-
vided complications do not set in. The
bullet entered the heart and pierced
the lung. Thyes is now in Reno.
The bullet was found, split into
three pieces, one of which lies in the
lungs behind the heart, and the other
two near the ribs. Two ribs were
fractured.

MORE TROUBLE
ABOUT TAXATION

j. L. Dart appeared before the board
of county commissioners this after
noon in behalf of the Carat Co. and
made the statement that a number Of
head of the company's cattle had
been assessed in Owyhee county, Ida
no, also in this county. He stated
that the matter had been brought to
the attention of the state tax commits
sion and that no relief was secured
as the commission %contended hal the
cattle were properly assessed in this
state.
Mr.. Dart asked that the board of
commissioners take the matter up
with the commissioners of Owyhee
county and that they be requested to
refund to the Carat company the sum
of $3.50, the amount paid the tax col.
lector of that county.
The county commissioners recogniz-
ing the justice of the request granted
it and will endeavor to have the mat
ter Strengthened out.

Linda laughed softly.
my father used always to fear bank
failures, and put small amounts in
many banks" She turned sparkling
eyes upon Goodwin. I'VE thought we
had collected all his savings" she
said.
These two nests were ~undiscoy-

have been laying golden eggs. You

Three hundred dollars! Obi" she
impulsiyely held put her two toilworn
little hands, at is a fortune! The
children! They a have their Santa
Claus!"
Goodwin found himself feeling hap
pier than he remembered having felt
before. Was 1t the knowledge that he
had been the Good Fairy In this small
family, or was 1t something more sub
tie, more wonderful that had crept
into his mind?
He laughed q trifle nervously.
Il am going TO ask for immediate
payment for the Joy I have found for
you" he said and when Linda's ques-
tioning eyes met his he said impetu-
ously: Let me come tomorrow-and
help make Christmas glad for the
children. May l Gomez"
Linda glanced at him with q new
shyness. "Yes," she said, simply. "If
you like / will go with you to help get
that Christmas tree"
Next morning Linda and the chill
dren were up early.
The cracking OF the fire as It roared
up the s~tovepipe created a spirit OF
cheerfulness that greeted Marvin
Goodwin when he presented himself
ut an early hour.
"Oh!" shouted Bobby, here's our
own Santa Claus!" His eyes were
glued to the armful OF packages Good
win deposited on the table.
Bobby" cried Linda.
Haven't you ever been Santa Claus
before7" quericd Peggy.
Never! This Is my very first ex-
perience. ] hope I will acquit myself
with proper dignity"
And Linde's eyes, over the heads Of
the children, looked down deep into
Goodwin's big soul, and unconsciously
she let the man read what her heart
was saying.
Next Christmas" NJ was saying in
his mind, Linda will have permanent
roses in her checks, and her eyes will
be mine, and that will be all the hap
piness one Santa Claus could have"
Lindenette smiled.

DATTlESH|Ps NAY
NOT USE CANAL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The DOS
sibility OF a postponement OF the cruise
Of the international fleet from Hamp-
ton Roads to San Francisco, through
the Panama canal in connection with
tie opening Of the canal and the ex-
position was suggested yesterday In
the course OF a conference between
Secretary Garrison and Col. Goethals,
governor of the canal.
Though the great earth slides at
C~ucuracha have apparently been CON
Quered, according to Col. Cocktails re-
port, the earth movements continue In
the neighborhood of Gold Hill. At that
point the masses Of earth on the side
OF the canal. by their great pressure
are continuously forcing rock and soil
in great quantities in the canal prism.
The movement is sufficiently extensive
to require the continuous employment
Of dredges to maintain the channel.
While this can be done to meet the
needs Of the present number and size
of vessels that are applying for pass
age, Col. Goethals reported that he
could not guarantee that there would
be a channel broad enough and deep
enough for the great d~readnoughts
which will make up the naval parade
by the date they are expected to ar
rive at Cristobal next spring.
The mastery of the earth move
ments at Gold Hill is considered only
a question OF the time when the earth
must find its equilibrium. Col Goe-
thals. however, is unable to promise
that this period OF stability will be
attained by the time the naval feet
is scheduled to reach the canal.
AS the program Of the feet from
the time it gathers at Hampton Roads,
to its arrival at San Francisco is Pre-
scribed by law, the officials are now
considering whether it will be neces-
sary to secure special legislation in
case it is decided to abandon the
cruise because of the conditions in
the canal.

Sir Edward Grey. the British tor-
