Word received at the State Uniyersi-

the public schools of Nevada may be
granted 100000 acres of public lands
in The state by this session of congress
of which 20 per cent will be given to
the University and the remainder to
the public schools in the state.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Pittman on December Z and originally
provided for q land grant of 100000
acres. II was referred TO the senate
committee on public lands and was re.
ported out favorably, carrying an addi-
tlonal grant of 100000 acres.
The senate committee on public
lands also reported favorably on a bill

GOVERNMENT TRAPPERS
BADLY HAMPERED

The assistance that the federal gov
ernment is lending to the stamping
out OF rabies Is generally appreciated,
and there is no doubt that the govern
ment trappers will get rid Of thous-
ands Of coyotes, but there is also no
doubt that the greatest degree OF ef-
fectiveness cannot be reached by the
government plan.
Like most undertakings of the gov
eminent there Is too much red-tape
to hamper the work. For instance, the
government requires the taking of the
hide and the head, the, making of re-
ports, etc., and this takes great por-
tion of the trappers time
In conversation with a rancher yes.
terday who put out trapper at his
own expense on his ranches, he said
that under the plan that his man
works that he is satisfied that the re-
suits are many times greater. He has
tried various ways Of killing and trap
ping coyotes, but he says the most ef-
fective he has found so far is by pois-
oning the natural food OF the coyote
the rabbit. Armed with a shotgun and
bottle of strychnine his man goes
out shooting rabbits and every body
is poisoned and left. He says that
In order to ascertain whether or not
the bodies were eaten after poisoned
that he has had his man leave the
rabbits in familiar places and the next
day or two go out and look for them.
One day more than thirty were placed
where they could be found, and two
days later nearly every one had been
eaten. Dead coyotes are found every
where and live ones are now rarely
seen, and it is believed that they will
soon be extermnated in that section.
If a trapper is obliged to go out
and hunt for coyotes after they have
been killed, skin them and boil out
the heads. more than half his time
is consumed and the best results of his
energy is not obtained.

glad TO return when advised that he
would be given an opportunity to earn
back his credits.

DECISION RENDERED
FOR DEFENDANT

The supreme court has dismissed
the appeal in the case of Skaggs vs..
Bridgeman, thus sustaining the de.
cision OF Judge Ducker In which judg-
ment was rendered in favor of the de-
fendant. This case concerned title to
the Elko Hot Springs hotel. owned by
Mrs. ]. ]. Garrecht and quiets title to
the property for her.
The case was an interesting one,
the suit having been brought on a
technacaiity of law. Mrs. Skaggs
bought the property from Mrs. Gar,
recht making cash payment OF. S..
900. but failed to make further pay
ments. While the former was still In
possession the property was transfer.
red to w. e. Bridgeman of Denver,
who gave first mortgage to Mrs.
Garrecht for the full value OF the
property, and a second mortgage to
Mrs. Skaggs. Bridgeman expected to
Sell the property and satisfy both
mortgages, but in this he failed, and
as Mrs. Skaggs failed to make the
necessary payments to Mrs. Garrecht,
a deed to the property was given to
Mrs. Garrecht. It was then held by
the plaintiff that the defendant could
not hold a deed to the property and a
mortgage at the same time and that
the second mortgage moved up and be-
came the first mortgage. The mortg,
age held by Mrs. Skaggs, given by
Bridgeman was for 100000 The sec
ond mortagage held by Mrs. Garrecht
given by Brldsman was for $4,000.
The case was tried in a court of
equity before Judge Ducker who found
for the defendant. The supreme court
in dismissing the appeal sustains the
lower courts findings and Mrs. Gar
recht will now hold the property free
from equity as soon as certain pap.
ers are filed. which are mere forms
of law.
The case has been watched with
much local interest. Henderson G.
Caine and Van Fleet were counsel for
the defendant.
