COMES
TO ISAAC R. HIGH.

Isaac R. High, who in former years
vas one Of Medina's foremost mer-
chants, and who throughout his long
residence in this community was re-
garded as one Of the towns respected
citizens, last Friday night answered
the summons which must sooner or
later come to us all. Although lacking
only a month Of having rounded out
100 years Of life, Mr.. High up to three
weeks proceeding his death was able
to walk to the public square and appar
emily was in full enjoyment of his
mental faculties. In fact his mind
did not appear to fail him until the
end. Some weeks ago Mr.. High de-
tected a swelling forming on his neck.
1t gave him no discomfort, but as it
began to increase in size, specialist
from Cleveland was consulted, who
pronounced it cancer. While during
his last days he suffered somewhat
from this, it is understood that it had
but little, if anything, to do with his
death. He had been in condition to
receive but little nourishment and the
weakness and general infrmities in
cident to SO long life are thought
to have been responsible for the final
dissolution.

HOTTEST JULY WEATHER
FOR PAST SEVERAL YEARS

Yesterday and Tuesday were the two
hottest days of the year, when the
weather bureau thermometer registered
81 degrees at about 2 O'Clock on both
days. Thermometers about town at
different angles of exposure showed
temperatures varying from 100 to los.
This was the hottest July weather for
several years, the maximum for July
of last year being 96 degrees, although
one day in August the mercury rose to
100.
Last night was so oppressively hot
that but little sleep was found posi-
Bile, and this mornings indications
were that today's heat would equal
that of the past two days. AT IL o'clock
this morning Observer Fisher re-
ported the weather bureau thermom-
eter registering 81 degrees, but shortly
after that hour the sky began to cloud
up and the mercury dropped rapidly
until at 2 o'clock this afternoon it
stood at so, with indications of fur
ther drop.

PATRIOTISM EXHIBITED
BY WINNEMUCCA PEOPLE

At 11:15 this morning special train
passed east via the Southern Pacific
carrying the party that escorted the
Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the
Exposition. About twenty minutes pre-
vious to that time a report spread
around town like wildfire that the bell
itself would pass through here in the
course of half an hour. A rush was
made for the station by citizens, who
pressed into service autos, delivery wa
gons and all sorts of vehicles. Those
who could not get ride went afoot
and arrived at Railroad street in time
to see the train pass. The bell still re-
mains at the Exposition and it is prob
able win be returned to Philadelphia
via the southern route.''

f. A. Porter, of the U. s. geological
survey, who has been making an in
vestigation in Nevada with the view
OF storing water, in a dispatch to the
Ogden Standard has the following re-
commendation TO make:
SALT LAKE, July 20.-The import
ance of the conservation of the run-off
or surplus water of streams throughout
the irrigated or irrigable sections of
the west is emphasized by F. A. Por-
tel, engineer in the water resources
department of the United States 20

He says that enough run-cff water
was lost from the Humboldt river last
year to mature the present suffering
crops there this year had il been stor-
ed. The Humboldt is very low now
and Mr.. Porter is Of the opinion that
he crop loss there this wear may reach
a figure that. if il had been saved

JUDGE GOODWIN ON
NEVADA FARMING

Judge G. G. Goodwin always has a
good word to say of Nevada He knew
the state when il was only mining
camp. His recent visit to the scenes
of his youth on the Comstock was pro-
duetive of the following tribute to Ne
vada farming, published in Goodwin s
Weekly:
Nevada is fast becoming a good
deal of an agricultural state. That row
of valleys at the foot of the Sierras-
Truckee, Steamboat, Pleasant, Eagle
and Carson valleys-are fine as Salt
Lake valley from Ogden to Provo
Humboldt Valley is fast becoming a
garden and north and south of the
Humboldt valley are a dozen great val
lcys, enough TO make the ordinary east
ern state, which are splendid in pro-
duetions. Then in the south, the peo-
piye believe they will eventually in
tercept all the waters that sink in the
northern portion of the state and the
results at Moapa give strength to the
claim. AT Moapa the belief is that the
White river, which sinks in White
Pine county. has been intercepted on
rs subway Journey to the Colorado.

CATTLE SENT TO
NEVADA INDIANS

Harry E. Miner, of Iowa, has just
delivered 400 head of 2-year-old heifers

munity property of the 400 Indians of
this reservation until such time as in
the Judgment of the Commissioner of
Indian affairs, it is expedient to divide
them among the heads of families
These heifers are not full bloods, but
Hereford stock is the predominating
feature to such an extent that practi-
cally all have the white face and the
distinguishing features of the Here
ford. Fifty registered bulls will arrive
soon and henceforth the "white facen
will be the reservation stock. The
heifers grew up on the plains of Wy
oming.
The farms of these Indians are large
Is planted to alfalfa, and the Piute
tribesmen are becoming good farmers.
About one mile of irrigation canal was
constructed this spring, bringing many
aliotments into touch with the water
system. Preliminary surveys have been
made for a storage reservoir about FIVE
miles long and averaging about a quar-
ter of mile wide, to conserve the wa
ter for period of drought in the late
summer at such time as the supply
OF water is usually low
About fifty head of valuable horses

SUES FOR FALSE
IMPRISONMENT

In the District Court, this morning,
j. b. Davis filed suit against S. G..
Lamb, sheriff of Humboldt county, for
$4,000, and against his six official
bondsmen for $4,000, the amount for
which they are liable under the bond.
This action grows out of the arrest
and imprisonment of Davis by Sheriff
Lamb in connection with the murder of

fifth day of the present month.
Ip his complaint, after the usual in
troductory allegations, plaintiff al
leges:
"That thereafter and on or about

said defendant s. G. Lamb, acting IN
his capacity as sheriff of said county
of Humboldt as aforesaid, did at the
town of Winnemucea, county Of Hum
boldt, state of Nevada, maliciously and
with force, and without any order
warrant or process of any court au-
thorizing him so to do, arrest and i'm
prison said plaintiff and then and there
restrain and deprive said plaintiff of
his liberty on the pretended charge Of
murder
''That Immediately upon said arrest,
said plaintiff offered bond in anv
amount that might be demanded or re.
quired by said defendant, s. G. Lamb.
and demanded of defendant. s. q,
Lamb, that he be taken before a mag
istrate as required by law and that
said plaintiff be released on bail.
That although magistrate was
immediately summoned by the friends
Of said plaintiff and was available, and
was ready to act in any matter that
might be legally required of him in the
premises, said defendant 8. G.. Lamb.
did then and there refuse to permit
said plaintiff to give bail or be admit
ted to bail and thereafter maliciouslv
and foreibly kept and detained said
plaintiff in his custody and restrained
and deprived said plaintiff of his lp.
erty for the period Of three days, refus
ing to accord said plaintiff his legal
rights and an opportunity to secure his
release from said Illegal arrest and
restraint either hy hearing, or by Civ
ing bail as provided by law.
That by reason of said false i'm
prisonment and unlawful restraint If
his liberty. said plaintiff was injured
IN his good name and reputation and
was subjected to humiliation by the
said defendant S. G. Lamb and from
the citizens of said county of Hum
boldt, and among his friends and ac-
qGaintanees; and be was injured in
his reputation, business and health.
"That by reason of the premises,
said plaintiff has been and is injured
in the sum of sos 900.
Wherefore, said plaintiff prays
said court for a Judgment in his favor
aud against said defendant S. G. Lamb
in the sum Of $25 5,000.''
Plaintiff also demands Judgment
against the several bondsmen of Sher-
~ Lamb in the total sum of $4,000, |
the amount for which they are liable
on the bond, one having guaranteed
! 1000 and the remaining FIVE the sum
Of $4,000 each
Jerome l.. VanDerwerker, of Reno.
and r. Gilray, of Winnemucca, are
the attorneys for plaintiff.
