MATCHES IN HOUSE
Also Splatter Ink Over Walls
in Residence of
Harry Belts
LEAP ACROSS ALLEY
TO GET IN WINDOW

Thieves, thought to have been boys,
rifed the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Belts, No. 1910 Tatnall street, some
time last Tuesday evening or early
Wednesday morning. Whether any
thing of value Was taken is not
known. Mr.. and Mrs. Belts are on a
visit to their son in Ohio.
The robbery was discovered by Mrs.
Martha Baldwin, of No. 1912 Tatnall
street, yesterday morning. as she was
going to market. The police we're
told and found the down stairs rooms
ransacked, the contents Of the buffet
drawers being thrown on the fiocr. In
the kitchen the breakfast foods were
thrown over the room.
All doors and windows on the first
two floors of the house were fastened
tight. On going to the third floor. it
was fastened. This was forced open
by the police and it was found that
the thieves had barricaded the door
with chair An open window lead
ing to a ledge overlooking an alley
way showed how the robbers had
gained access TO the building.
The walls of this room we're splat-
tered with ink which the thieves had
thrown from a bottle. This causes
the police to believe that boys entered
the house.
The only way it would be possible
for anyone to enter through the third
story window would be for the robbers
to scale the wall of the house or else
get onto the, roof of the adjoining
building and then jump across an alley
way.
Thousands of matches were found on
the floor Of the Belts home. Mr.. and
Mrs. Belts have been notified of the rob
berry.

Reno Gazette: United States Mar
shall A. B. Gray recently returned
from Overton and st. Thomas in
Clark County, Nevada. When asked
if he knew anything new he said:
Nothing politically, but if you
want to learn something about one
of the richest agricultural districts
in Nevada, just go down to Clark
County and get your eyes opened.
They are actually cutting their fifth
and sixth cutting of alfalfa right
now. They have shipped many car
loads of the finest cantaloupes in the
world, and the sugar cane and corn
is from five to seven feet high and
ready to cut.
They are digging sweet potatoes
and | saw 16 pounds taken from one
hill. The peanut crop will be ready
soon. Peaches are ripe and the pears
nearly ready for market. Pome-
granates will be ready next month.
They have vegetables of all kinds
from May until Christmas. Six va
rieties of grapes, including the seed
less, are grown.
Vegetation grows so rapidly that
10 acres is all one mar can possibly
handle and the drawback there, as
elsewhere in the State, is that the
land is held In large tracts and not
half cultivated. There are only $50
voters, but it's takes three school
houses, and two of them have four
rooms, to house the school children.
Down there the folks just get mar
ried and let nature take her course.
"The only politics | heard was at
the hotel where the lady who runs it
said that during the last campaign a
prominent candidate arrived at her
house just at noon and the dining
room was filled with people. He
asked her to take him in and intro
duce him to all of them. She said
she couldn't do it as she did not
know all their names. He said: No
matter who they are; just so they
will know who | am
That valley will some day be
known as the most wonderful in the

METROPOLIS TOWNSHIP SOLD

ton Land in EIko County

The townsite of Metropolis, includ-
ing aS90. 900 hotel and 20, 900 acres of
irrigable and dry farm land and o.
900 acres of railroad land. were pur-
chased yesterday from J. p. Raine,
receiver of the Pacific Reclamation
Company, and of the Metropolis I'm
provement Company, by w. Prescott
Scott of San Franciso, for $500, 900.
The townsite, which is about eight
miles south of Wells. in Elko County,
was laid out five years ago. and coloni-
cation work in the territory around
the town was begun. A large dam
for impounding water from the Hum
bolt river was built. and an extensive
system of irrigation bitches con-
structed. When the project was
well under way, owners of prior
water rights along the Humboldt river
secured an injunction against the
Pacific Reclamation Company, pro-
hibiting the company from diverting
water from the river by means of
the dams.
Recently the differences have been
adjusted and the company granted
the privilege of diverting water from
Burnt creek, and it is the purpose of
the new owner to resume the coloni.
cation project at nee.
Many improvements, including a
$25, 900 school house and several
miles of concrete sidewalks besides
the big hotel were made in Metro
polls, the year it was started, but
when the colonization work was
stopped the town became nearly de-
populated. The townsite was pur-
chased for $4,000.
