MRS. FOROUER
BROUGHT BACK

Yesterday morning Mrs. Elma
c'Jo'D Forquer, arrested at Redding,
California, Thursday evening on the
charge of having murdered her hus-
band, was brought to Winnemucca by
deputy sheriff and lodged in the
county Jail.
Shortly after her arrival she made
statement to District Attorney Powell
and Sheriff Lamb, which the officials
decline to make public. 1t is under
stood, however, that Mrs. Forquer
stoutly maintains that she has made
no statement further than to repeat
that on two occasions, after having
been severely beaten by Forquer, she
made a general offer to number of
people present that she would give
81 900 to anyone who would kill him.
IL is said that O'Donnell, who was
present on both occasions, asked her
the last time if she meant it, and upon
receiving an affirmative answer, said
"that ought to be easy.
Saturday evening James o'Donnell
was arrested on a murder charge and
lodged in the county Jail. Since his in
generation he is said to have refused
10 DISCUSS lHe case.
There is a story being circulated
about town today to the effect that
last Saturday the Redding officers
told Mrs. Forquer that certain young
man had been arrested for the crime,
when she is reported to have exclaim
ed "Why did they arrest himl He
knows nothing of it, Jimmy O'Don-
nell is the man who did the job
From the fact that O'Donnell was
not arrested until nearly two DAYS af
ter Mrs. Forquer was taken into Gus
tody, il looks probable that the latter
may have said something to implicate
him.
When asked today if there would
be any further arrests in connection
with the case, District Attorney Pow
ell said there would be none so far as
he knew, as he believed they had the
right parties in custody.
The clues leading up to the arrest Of
Mrs. Forquer were furnished by Ward
Ries, Thiel Detective agency opera
tive. He came here about the middle
of July, representing that he was a sa-
loon man looking for location, and
put in considerable time around the sa-
loon run by Mrs. Forquer in the red
light district. He is a well-known ball
player, acquainted with several of the
local team, and umpired the game play
ed a week ago Sunday between Winnie
mneca and Golconda. II is also stated
that Ries was employed by Mrs. For
quer to manage her ranch. and that he
adjusted dictagraph to record the
conversations between her and various
persons, during which the murder was
discussed.
Both Mrs. Forquer and O'Donnell
have retained the law firm of Salter,
Robins & Frame to represent them and
il is probable that the time for their
preliminary examinations will not be
set until the return of Judge Robins
from Carson City, which is expected to-
morrow or Thursday.

In the damage suit brought by J. B.
Davis against Sheriff Lamb and his
bondsmen for false imprisonment in
connection with the Forquer murder,
defendants have filed demurrers in the
District Court. Lamb and the bonds
men have filed separate demurrers,
identical in form, which state
(1) That there is a misjoinder #
parties defendant in said action;
(2) That several alleged causes of
action have been improperly united in
this action in that an alleged cause OF
action arising in tort has been united
with alleged causes of action arising

(3) That the complaint in said ac-

a round hole in the ground, but in sink

Mr.. Young's well has a capacity of
350,000 gallons day, which leaves
him a surplus of 250,000 gallons, and
he is at present negotiating with the
Southern Pacific for its water supply

Last Friday DIR. c. f. Swezy was
called to the Soldier Meadows ranch

DEMOCRATIC BlUNDfRS
MENACE TIMBER SUPPLY
Especial Correspondencel

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August g.
The safety of millions of dollars worth
of the nation s timber supply has been
jeopardized by Democratic neglect.
An authorized appropriation of three
million dollars for preventing forest
fire and kindred purposes, provided fol
ia what is known as the Weeks law
was allowed to lapse because of the
cale eless failure of the last Democratic
Congress to carry out the mandate OF
a former law.
The Weeks law was enacted to en-
able the federal government to coop
crate with the states to secure pro.
lection from forest fires. 1t authorized
appropriations up to eleven millions to
carry its purpose into effect. Based
upon carefully drawn plans, it provid.
ed for the purchase of lands at the
head waters of navigable streams to
aid navigation and the regulation of
stream flow, and thereby promote for.
est protection.
"Fire destroys the soil covering il
a forest,' says the forestry report on
the plan of the Weeks law. "This
causes rapid runoff on steep slopes and
erosion results. The soil thus washed
out is the chief source of sediment N
the channels of navigable streams
Forest fires, therefore, cause irregular.
| ity Of stream flow and loss of naviga-
bility. This calls for active assistance
from the federal government, and sec.
tion 2 of the Weeks law is designed to
authorize this assistance
The necessity for forest fire protec-
ton is shown by the official reports
Of the vast destruction such fires
cause.
"An average of 100000 acres is
burned over annually in the United
States. with a money loss of about
$25, 100000. says the Forestry Bureau
report 'fThe danger threatens both
northern and southern forests. In the
coniferous forests of the north the de-
struction of merchantable timber is
frequent. In the pine or hard wood
forests of the south, the chief damage
is the repeated killing of young growth.
This is severe, because the young
and upon it depends the permanency of
the lumber industry in the region"
The attention of the Democratic
members of Congress was repeatedly
called to the necessity of giving for
nal approval to the law formerly enact
cd and that without that approval the
appropriation would lapse and be nc
longer available for forest fire protec.
ton. In spite of this warning, how
ever, the Democrats neglected to in.
clude the necessary provision in the
law this year.
The result is that during the next
fall and winter, when the danger from
forest fires is at the maximum, the pro-
lection that would have been afforded
under the Weeks law viii either be
lost or must be provided for in some
other way.

SIX TRAINS DAILY
TO NEVADA TRACT

Utah homesteaders are locating on
the land being sold in Elko county,
Nevada, along the parallel lines of the
Southern Pacific and the Western Pa
cifc. This land is the property of the
Southern Pacific and is proving quite
popular, according to E. J. Wills, of
the Newell block, the local agent, says
the Salt Lake neutrality-suspicious.
"That country is being spotted over
with little cabins erected by Utah and
Idaho Settlers said Mr. Wills, speak
ing of the project. "The land we are
handling, owned by the Southern Pa
eific, is only about five hours from Salt
Lake by railroad, and there are six
fast passenger trains running to there
every day from this city-three over
the Southern Pacific and three over the
Western Pacific. And you have excel
lent diner and Pullman accommoda-
tions all the way. The trip is thus made
under the most pleasant conditions
possible and in about as quick time as
could be made.
"The land consists of 1900 acres of
fine farm land, extending from Wells
TO Winnemucea, Nevada. Business is
picking up, especially between Wells
and Halleek, and we expect to do a
great land business in month or so.
We are getting good, substantial
inquiries from Idaho as we'll as Utah

bright for even better conditions of

accordance with an act of the last ses-

price has been started by Senator Key
Pittman, says the Gazette. In tele-
gram sent to Robert W. Wooley, di-
rector of the mint, Senator Pittman
points out that there is grave fear Of
many of the mines of the west being
compelled to shut down unless some

the resumption of the purchase Of sill
yer and that he will ask other western

ate.
