THREE YEARS BEHIND THE GUNS.

We were in the Yangtse,Klang
It was four bells Of the midwatch
on the thirteenth of April when Andy

And then all the searchlights were
turned on and 1t was like day.
Early in the night a dense fog had
drifted in from the ocean, and now
the incoming tide vas running a tor,
rent whose angry lashings mingled
with the shrieks and means Of dying
men. What a sight 1t was to behold:
The On Woo. a Chinese passenger
steamer. coming UP from the coast on
It's way to Shanghai, had colided with
a tramp freight schooner right at the
mouth of the river and had sunk. II
Is estimated that between five and six
hundred lives were lost.
At the time Of the disaster we were
undergoing repairs in the harbor; con.
sequently our ship was almost sur
rounded by barges that served as tenn

these barges in such a raging tide
would have added wreck to ruin. The
ship was so hemmed about that we
were unable to lower more than two
quarter boats.
The barges we're manned with the
hope to rescue those who foated past,
but they were so high above the wa
ter that they saved but few. while
standing eager but helpless, watching
head after head bob above the surge,
only to be dashed out OF existence
against the barges' sides.
The two boats succeeded In saving
thtrty-eight lives, four Of them being
Europeans. For a time the water was
as black with human being as l have
ever seen it with porpoises. When we
had hauled as many into our boats
as they would hold. others struggling

Day dawned upon a sorry sight. The
beach was strewn with the dead, and

during the hours we were risktng our
lives to ave her people, hundreds OF
junks lay in the harbor, yet not a man

Forest Fires
Again Break Out

The forest fire which destroyed
considerable timber on the noun
tains just west OF Carson and which
was extinguished by our local people
on Sunday, broke out anew this morn
ing and mas spread over a consider
able area, dense clouds of smoke
have enveloped the mountains all day
and at times the mountains could lot
be seen. The flames are working
their way gradually towards Carson
and unless something is done, should
a high wind spring up, considerable
property may be endangered.
Governor Boyle on Saturday tele-
phoned the forester in charge at
Gardnerville Of the fire, but the latter
informed him it was out OF his dis
trict, but that he would notify Ne
vada City, Cal, i'll which district the
timber was burning. Nothing has
been heard of the matter since and
none Of the officials have shown up,
so it is safe 10 say that none will.
Therefore if matters become much
worse it will be up to the people OF
Carson to protect themselves. Such
is government red tape.

Rabies Epidemic
Indicates Increase

\ rabid coyote got into Kelsey
Brothers corral in the Haviland &
Hoskins addition early last evening
and created quite a commotion be-
fore it was dispatched. The coyote
started after a horse, but Frank Kel-
sey knocked the mad animal down
with a rock. Three dogs then tackled
the coyote and all were bitten in the
fight that ensued. The coyote made
its escape from the dogs and ran
from the corral, pursued by men with
guns. Several shots were fired be-
fore the mad animal received its
death wound. All the dogs were af-
terward killed.
A coyote attacked two horses in
a stall at Toll House Saturday night.
The coyote was found dead in the
stall next morning, the horses hav-
ing kicked its life II One of the
horses was severely bitten on the
nose and it was killed as a measure
of ~precaution.

ElkO Murderer
Gets Off Light

The jury in the case OF Telesforo
Petrro brought in "a verdict Saturday
night of manslaug'hter. Only two bal
lots were required to reach a verdict.
The first is reported to have stood
one for murder in the second degree
and eleven for ~manslaughter. On the
second ballot the vote was unani-
nous.
There were many who expected a
verdict of murder in the second de
gree, but the fact that the deceased
was armed at the time of the killing
and had been for some time previous,
and that he had made certain re-
marks shortly before the crime, had
a big influence on the jury in ar-;:"-
ing at a verdict.
Peterro will be sentenced next Sat
urday. According to law he will re-
iceive a term of from one to ten
years in the state ACKNOWLEDGMENT
