SHEEP LOSS
NOT so GREAT

S. G. Broyles was in Battle Noun
tain on Wednesday, haviny come
from Battle Creek, where, in company
with George NJ Southwark, he has
been engaged in counting the bands
of sheep that had become mixed dur
ing the recent storm. He stated that
the report going the rounds to the
effect that large numbers were miss
ing was without foundation. One
band which had stampeded when the
storm broke and were seeking shelter
in small gully, crowded one another
off steep rocky bluff with the re-
suit that ia were found to have been
killed outright. The men consider
themselves as fortunate in having
such small number to report miss
ing, as the sheep composing the five
bands in that section were scattered
over large extent of very rough and
broken country. Mr.. Southwark con-
tinued up to Stampede and will re-
turn in few days to the marking
corrals at Hotcreek.-Scout

RABID COYOTE SHOT

Southern Oregon and northern
Humboldt county are beginning to
fear the numerous coyotes with rab
les in those sections. Last Thursday
one of those animals was shot at Hap
py Creek, on the DEMO road, the
brain sent to the University pathol-
ogist and bacteriologist, with the re-
suit that it was fully determined that
the animal was suffering with rabies.
Sometimes these rabid animals bite
stock with the result that cattle and
sheep are infected. The department
of Agriculture is planning a campaign
of destruction of the animals, accord
ing to th~ Humboldt Star, which will
probably mean campaign of exter-
mination.

QUITE A FEW
MINERS ENJOYED IN
THIS VICINITY

Asthere seems to be few idle men
around town, we have inquired into
the why's and wherefores of this con-
diton and found find that the mines
are again employing quite number
of men in the vicinity-something like
200 men employed in Aurora, IS by
the Nevada Douglas, 40 by the Pitts
burg Liberty, As in Masonic, SO or
more at Bodie, 20 at Mason Valley
Smelter, II at Nevada Progressive,
IS at Pine Grove and about IS around
the hills, making a total of 542. Not
such bad showing after all when it
is taken into consideration that none
of the big mines are producing be-
cause of the shutdown of the smelter,
but does show that development rs
going ahead and that the mines are
getting ready for a period of big pro-
duction just as soon as our smelter
starts again

MAD COYOTES

That the United States Department

the destruction of coyotes with an or
ganized force in eastern Oregon, nor
thern Nevada and northern California
was the information contained in {
letter received by DIR. Calvin S. White

ocrat Mr. Henshaw said that the
work would be begun as soon after
July as it was possible to do so.

this bureau, now at Alturas, Cal, in
vestigated the existence of rabies a
number of points in eastern Ore
gon," said Mr.. Henshaw, "and his re
ports describe the situation as war
ranting vigorous efforts in destroy
ng the coyotes. We are asking him
to employ at an early date at various
points in eastern and southern Ore
gon the best local hunters available
for the remaining fiscal year"

ance of the government cooperating

SOME BIG FISH

The opening of the fishing season
has brought several of the local
sportsmen to the lake in spite of the
unreasonable weather The fishermen
report that it is still too early for the
bass, but the trout are biting and what
they lack in number they certainly
make up in size. Bob Young is en-
titled to first honors, he having
brought home l4pound salmon
trout that would entitle its captor to
distinction i'll any country. Alvey
Miller comes second with a 27-inch
beauty that tipped the beam at 9
pounds.-Hawthorne Bulletin.

MACHINE GUN
MOUNTED AT
THE STATE PRISON

On visit to the prison lately it was
getting things prepared for any emerg
noticed that Warden Dickerson is get
ting things prepared for any emerg
ency which may occur in the way of
break. The Gattling gun, which
has for so long been lying idle at
the State Police headquarters, has
been mounted on the north wall of
the yard, SO that in emergency it may
be used to sweep all that part of the
premises except that covered by the
hospital and the old prison she shop.
The old, unused blacksmith shop,
which would have interfered with tn
use of the gun, is being torn down.
With the gun in position, if the con-
victs, of whom there are some very
desperate men, were to get up big
rush, this weapon is capable of ami
hilating all the men in the institu-
ton before anything serious could
happen to the guards.
The gun, while old as to years, has
had very little use, and is as good as
when it first left the Colt factory.
Should occasion arise, it will certainly
make itself heard.
A guard house is to be built over
the gun. to shelter and its operator
from the weather.-Carson Appeal.

LITTLE-OH-DEAR

See, what wonderful garden is here,
Planted and trimmed for my Little. Oh Dear
Posics gaudy and grass of such brown
Search ye the country and hunt ye the town
And never yen meet with garden SO queer
AS this one I've made for my Little Oh Dear
Narigolds white and huttercups blue.
Lilies all dabbled with honey and dew,
the cactus that trails over trelis and wall,
Roses and pansies and violets-all
Make proper obesance and reverent cheer
When into her garden steps Little Oh Dear.
And up at the top of that lavender tree
silver bird singeth as only can she;
For. ever and only, she singeth the song
II love you-I love you" the happy day long
Then the echo-the echo. that smiteth me here
IL love you, | love you" my Little Oh-Dear
The garden may wither, the silver bird fly
But what careth my little precious, or l.
From her pathway of flowers that in spring
time upstart
She waketh the rendered way in my heart
And, oh, il is always the summer time here
With that song of II love you" my
Little Oh Dear

ANOTHER PIONEER
ANSWERS CALL TO
THE UNKNOWN LAND

Once more our quiet little city was
surprised to learn that death had laid
its cold hands upon another one of
the pioneers of Mason Valley.
Sometime ago Mrs Strosnider NOV
ed to Yerington, having purchased the
Stuart property in the south part Of
town, where she and her friends full
ly expected that she would be able to
spend many years in peace and com
fort. These expectations were brought
to naught when after week OF i'll
ness Mrs. Strosnider passed away
about 1870 May 20.
Mrs. Strosnider's maiden name was
Sarah E. Butler She was born in
Memphis, Scotland county, Missouri,
December IS, l849.
April 26, 1868, she was married to
Ulric Strosnider. To this union two
Children were born in the State OF Mis-
souri, after which the father came to
Nevada; located as a miner in Pine
Grove in the days OF its prosperity.
Later with the two children and about
AZ years ago Mrs. Strosnider joined
her husband, remaining in Pine Grove
about II years They then homestead
ed and reclaimed ranch now known
as the Strosnider ranch, which re-
mained in the possession of Mrs. Stro-
snider and was the home of the fam
lily until recently. Six children were
born in Nevada, making eight alto
gether, seven of whom survived the
mother, the father having passed away
September IL, 1896 There are five
sons and three daughters. The sons
are I. A. and c. B. Strosnider, whose
postoffice is Yerington, ID. A. Stro-
snider, OF Tampa, Florida, and George
Strosnider, of Patterson, California
and Charles, who died in 1907; the
daughters are Mrs. S. r. Worming-
ton; and Mrs +. 2. Swasey, of To
nopah, and Mrs A. d. Zuick, of Yer
ington. There are eight grandchil-
dren of the deceased and three sisters
Marietta Burgess. of Mobley, Mo
living, also an adopted daughter, Mrs
Mrs. Strosnider was woman OF
strong personality able to bear the
hardships of early life in which she
took her place beside her husband;
taking her full share OF the response
bility and doing her full share OF the
work. She was able to meet the prob
lens of life as they presented them
selves, managing her affairs success
fully and keeping her place among
those who do things. She was able
as a mother to rear her family to
places of respect and responsibility, so
that it may be said OF her that she
did her part in the drama of life. 1t
is TO such as Mrs. Strosnider that so
ciety and the State owe much. They
laid the foundations of whatever pro-
giess and prosperity may come in
to following generations; they breath
ed into our institutions that spirit of
power and readiness that we trust will
make them endur 'ng.
The funeral services were held to-
day at II a. m. at the late residence
of deceased in the south part OF town,
r. L. Waggoner officiating. Burial
took place at Missouri Flat cemetery
