Will COlOniZe Land
In Railroad Valley

John Lawton Butler and associates
in the Railroad Valley Land and
Water Company, have had a final Sc
gregation made of $500 acres of
land in Railroad Valley under the
Carey Act and will develop and col
onize the same in the near future.
In addition to the Government land
taken up under the Carey Act, the
company has bought the Horton
ranch of 760 acres, near Duckwater,
about 200 of which are under cult
walton.
5 Under the Carey Act the State
sells the land to the settler for a nom-
inal price of about 81 an acre and
the promoting company develops the
water and sells it at a price agreed
upon by it and the State. The Rail-
road Valley Land Company's first
well drilled at start flowed 500 gal
Ions per minute, but afterwards be-
came sanded and the flow diminished
to $50 gallons a minute.

DEATH OF ]. |. sWCEG00O
Meets Sudden Death While TRAY.
cling to Join His Brother at
Eureka, Nevada

The Twin Falls. Idaho, News of
August 26 has the following account
of the fatal accident and burial of
John l.. Swicegood, brother of w.
r. ~Swicegood of Eureka:
John L. Swicegood, aged az, we'll
known mining man of the northwest,
was shot and killed last Thursday af-
ternoon at Mud Creek, about 20
miles south of Jarbidge. Nevada, by
the accidental discharge of a 16-
gauge shotgun when he attempted
to take the gun from the wagon in
which he was travelling with another
man to join his brother, w. R. Swice-
good. a former resident of Filler, at
Eureka. Nevada.
The wagon was stopped at Mud
Creek, the driver stating that he
would water the teams. Mr.. Swice-
good said that he would take the gun
and go on ahead a little way on the
chance of shooting some chickens.
He stood on the wagon wheel. grasp
ing the gun by the muzzle, and draw
ing it toward himself when it was
discharged. The charge entered
Mr.. Swicegood's head just above his
right eye, tearing a clean hole and
exposing the brain. Although un-
conscious, Mr.. Swicegood lived for
about an hour after the accident.
The body was brought back to JAR
bidge. where an inquest was held.
Upon advice of w. r. Swlcegood, the
body was brought to this city for
burial.
Upon the arrival here of his widow,
who had been visiting with relatives
at Joplin, Missouri. the funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon from the
Grossman chapel, the interment was
made in the Twin Falls cemetery,
near the grave of Mr.. Swicegood's
father. j. c. Swicegood. who died
here in 1908.
The services were conducted by
Rev. B. c. Miller, pastor of the Bap-
fist church. Many friends of the
family and members of the local
lodge of Elks. of which w. R. Swice-
good is a member, were in attend
ance, and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful.
John L. Swicegood was prominent
ly identified with the early history
of Jarbidge, and with his brother
had extensive interests in that camp.
He has just completed assessment
work on these properties when he
set out for Eureka last week. His
disposition was genial. and in what
ever place he had made his home, he
made many friends. He was born
at Higginsville. Missouri, but spent
most of his life in the mining dis
tricts of the northwest. He was a
member of Burke, Idaho, Lodge of
Fraternal Brotherhood.

Horse Thieve. Operating in Elko County

Horse Thieves Operating in Elko County
The neighborhood of Deeth, Ne
vada, has awakened to the fact, so
rumor says. that there has been n
of the boldest Eases of horse thievery
pulled off in that section of the coun-
try than the history of Nevada yet
chronicles, and there must have been
a band of horse thieves whose de-
predations are about as bold as the
James Brothers crimes in Missouri,
says the Free Press. From what has
already been learned, IS horses were
recently stolen from the Truett
Brothers ranch on Mary's river,
they had evidently been driven in a
bunch somewhere towards the Utah
line.

Predicts Hard Winter

According to the pronostication
made by Mr.. Bowers of Lamoille the
coming Winter will be an unusually
hard one. He bases his prediction
on the action of the honey bees with
which he has had extensive expert
ence. He declares that when the
bees collect honey dew, as they are
doing this year, it is an infallible
sign of a hard Winter.

Mrs. Bruce Saulter, wife of DR..
Saulter of Reno, who was so severely
burned in agasoline explosion in that
city a few days ago, died Sunday as
a result of her injuries.
Fire, originating in the home of
the Alfalfa Club in Fallon. caused a
loss estimated at $1,000. The blaze
spread down the street to the tele-
phone office. where it was finally
checked after a hard fight. Several
had narrow escapes from injury.
Fire of mysterious origin broke
out in the home of Oscar Rogers in
Tonopah recently and before checked
destroyed the Rogers dwelling and
an adjoining structure, owned by
Jack McCrimmoD. Each house car
ried an insurance policy of $1,000.
The Rogers family had gone to the
Pastime theater and had not left a
fire in the house.
Charles King, aged 10 years. was
drowned in the University pond at
Reno Thursday. King was swim
ming in the pond with Richard
Sheehy, Frank Fake, R. Parks and
R. Farrer when he suddenly called
for help and sank in about 10 feet of
water. Sheehy recovered the body
after diving several times, but life
was extinct when it was brought
ashore. The dead boy was the son
of E. w. King, a well known mining
man Of Rawhide.
Tonopah Miner: Charles Humph-
rey, Jr., Is years of age, who was one
of the best known and most likable
boys in Tonopah, was killed last
Tuesday afternoon near the old camp
of Belmont. Charley was on a
camping trip with Albert Gilbert
and three Manhattan boys and acct
IDENTIFY fell under the heavily loaded
camp wagon, dying a few hours
later from the injuries. Mrs. R. F.
Gilbert was an aunt of the boy and
attended the funeral at Manhattan.
The Independent says the Euro
pean war was brought suddenly
home to Elko Monday when Mr.. R.
H. Findlater, the noted shale expert,
arrived home from New York and
announced that Mr.. R. M. Catlin
would not start work On his shale
plant for the manufacture of oil un-
I'll after the war. This is practically
the history of every big enterprise
in the West. There is more money
in New York than at any time be-
fore since the republic was founded.
But capital is simply not investing
in new enterprises.
Stewart Barber, the eight-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. v. S. Barber Of
Reno. was killed recently by a shot
fired by an unknown person. He
died within a few minutes. A deer
mystery surrounds the tragedy. The
unfortunate lad, in company with
his two brothers., was playing in the
back yard. In telling what he knew
of the affair, one of the brothers said
he heard a shot and saw Stewart
grasp his throat. A close investiga-
ton is being made but no theories
have been advanced by the police.

Progress of The War

Despite the continued defeat of
the armies under Grand Duke
Nicholas, the decision in the east
ern theater of war appears to be
no nearer than ever. This must
be discouraging to the Teutons,
Notwithstanding a long success
sion of victories, for it puts off
the day when they can devote
their attention almost entirely to
the western theater. Indeed, it
begins to look as if that day
might never come, for the Rus
SLAMS, although they cannot as
sumo the offensive on any great
scale until late in the Fall or per-
haps even until next Spring,
should be able to fight actively
on the defensive if the Teutons
fail to accomplish their chief OBJ
iective-the destruction of the
Muscovite armies in the field.
The last week has witnessed
new advances by the Austro-Ge
man forces, but as usual the Rus
SLAMS have got away with their
field artillery and most of their
big guns. Brest-Litovsk, a mill
tary supply station and a great
fortress, was evacuated just as
Warsaw was evacuated. A rear
guard was left to meet the storm
ing forces and this guard retired
afterthe fortress had been stripped
of its stores and of most OF its
armament.
The principal Russian losses
continue to be in men and ma
chine guns. The loss of the ma
chine guns is technically the most
important, because they cannot
be replaced quickly. The Rus
slams have suffered tremendous
losses in men since the Germanic
advance began on May l, but the
Teutonic loss must have been
nearly as great, for the Germans
have been constantly on the of.
fensive. Hilaire Belloc, the noted
military critic. estimates that the
Russians have lost about a mil
lion men and the Austro-G German
armies only d tri1e less.
But assuming that both sides
