THE SUFFERED HOUSE
BY Leonie Davis Collister
Here in this house, where shattered
windows hide
The light and ribald laughter from
the world outside,
Here dwell the sisteThoOd who give
their love for hire
Yielding their bodies to strange mems

Here, when the, morning sunlight
gilds the town,
And busy people hurry up and down,
This household spends the golden
hours in sleep,
And only when the evening shadows
creep
Upon the world, they rise to Vend
their wares
With paint and wine and music they
set their scarlet snares,
Here many dwell, yet each alone
must stand
Bearing the broken cup within her

TIMBER WOLVES
KILLING STOCK IN
NORTHERN ELKO

The fact that timber wolves are
committing many depredations among
the hocks of ranchers in the north
ern part of the county was made
known in this city yesterday when
Archie Clayton and Chalmers McCor-
mick, manager of the Morgan Hill
ranches related a story of seeing a
pack of seven large Oregon timber
wolves on the Rancho Grande this
week. According to the eye witnesses
the wolves are travelling in pack and
are followed by about dozen coyotes.
1t is known positively that the wolves
have killed several large calves in the
past few months and the coyotes fol
low the pack to eat the residue left
by the larger animals. What is sup
posed to be the same pack was seen
on several occasions last fall and win
ter by several persons in that vicinity
About four months ago they made
raids on flocks belonging to different
ranchers in the same neighborhood
and seem to contlne. their depredations
to the one place.
The news seems strange to people
OF this State at one glance as such an
imals are seldom seen in Nevada. The
theory is that they drifted this far
south from either Idaho or Oregon in
search of food and as the winter has
been unusually mild in Nevada they
found this State the best feeding
grounds. A concerted action will
probably take place by ranchers of the
northern part of the county to hunt
them down and exterminate the pack

RABIES CAUSE
MUCH ALARM IN
HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Judge w. H. Minor, of McDermitt
is in Winnemucca, according to the
Silver State, to consult with the
County Commissioners regarding the
alarming conditions existing in north
ern Humboldt county. May coyotes
have bitten and inoculated domestic
animals with the rabies, until mad
dogs, sheep and cattle have become
so common that human life is men,
aced.
1t is stated that Juan Jaca had a
band of SO sheep affected, which were
segregated and began to destroy each
other, until all were dead. The sheep
dog became affected and ran to the
ranch house, foaming at the mouth,
and swapping, but was killed before
it could attack anyone.
AT the Vance ranch, the dogs were
noticed fighting a mad coyote which
succeeded in biting them all and then
ran for the house, where it was killed.
The dogs were afterwards destroyed,
as a matter of precaution.
People in that section of the county
are in a state of panic, and the County
Commissioners are called upon to fur
nish such relief as may lie within their
power.
1t is claimed that responsibility for
the situation rests with an Oregon
game warden, who planned to exter-
inmate the coyote family by inocu-
lating few he had captured for the
purpose, with the virus of rabies.

the line took special delight in seeing
that the drawing room reserved on 2

displayed by the train crew, the work
must have been we'll done. The col

laughed as only a coon can laugh,
and managed to gasp, "Loahdy, man
but yo ought to see it"
The train pulled out amidst show
ers of rice and expressions of good
will and best wishes for long and
happy life,
The Times joins with the many
friends of the high contracting parties
