IS RESTORED
TO WOUNDED BASQUE

Gracian Etchebarren, who vas shot
in the th%ree-cornered ARRAY among
Basques in Ely last spring, has been
two months, staying at the Thirty
Mile ranch, where he is with the
Uhalde sheep outfit. His speech has
been partially restored, so that he
talks in a hoarse voice slightly above
a whisper, and he can cat any kind
of food. The wounds give him great
inconvenience but little pain.
He remained at San Francisco about
three months, where he was operated
upon twice or more, part of which he
says was beneficial and part not.
When he left here he could hardly
whisper and could take only liquid
food.
He says another operation will be
performed, but by a Salt Lake sur
geon, and he hopes for complete
restoration of speech.
~Etchebarren was shot in the neck
by Martin Iuzargarat as the latter
was running through the hallway in
a rooming house, after having shot
his wife twice. In a few minutes
luzargarat had shot himself twice.
All three have recovered, though
such in the case of the assailant was
declared by surgeons to be impossi-
BILE.
The bullet that struck Etchebarren
grazed his win1pipe and just missed
his spine. 1t was only through the
aid of modern surgical skill that he
survived. Even stronger may this be
said in the case Of Iuzargarat, who
has had a bullet removed from in
| side of his brain matter, where it lay
for months.
Etchebarren's surgical bills thus
far have aggregated $4,000, and the
one to come will probably add an
other thousand to it. 1t was not pub
licly known hat he had returned. 1t
was not a secret, but associating prin-
cipally with people of his nationality
his arrival attracted no attention,
and he stopped in town but a short
while. 1t was by a ST of his being
heavily bandaged and conversing
with difficulty that he does that his
identity happened to dawn .upor a
reporter visiting the ranch.
Basques knowing all parties have
little sympathy for Iuzargarat be-
cause of his being shell shocked.
They claim he naturally is of a mean
disposition and deserves full punish
ment. He is still in California, sup
posedly undergoing treatment. Etche-
barren saw him in San Francisco but
refused to talk with him.

PONY TRAIL IS BEING
REPAIRED BY ELY MEN

1t is a rough piece of abandoned
old road that is being made passable
for autos at the head of Long valley.
connecting Ely with Buby valley, but
according to Oscar Foreman it is a
speedway now to what it vas three
weeks ago when he GO! v e it first
with his Chevrolet.
From the western edge of Butte
valley this road is the old pony ex-
press and overland stage trail. The
road with which it connects at that
point is the same one that was ira
versed first by the pony riders as a
mere trail and then by Ben Holli-
days stages as a road carrying such
noted passengers as Horace Greeley,
Mark Twain and Schuyler Colfax.
On the Ruby valley side, Mr.. Fore
man says, 4 building that was used
by the pony riders as q station still
stands. The Thirty Mile ranch was
a station on the same route, but the
original building which stood above
the spring on the hillside has been
removed. The present stone house,
belonging to John Uhalde, while quite
old, is not the old time station.
The distance between Ely and
Ruby lake is eighty-one miles. Most
of it is naturally passable, requiring
slight repairs or attention in years
That one section from Summit spring,
which is on the summit between
Butte and Jake's valleys, a distance
of ten or twelve miles, extending
from the springs into Lake valley,
has made the whole road out of the
question for travel for a few years
back. The old trail has been washed
down in places more than ten feet
deep, making it look like a natural
gulch. 1t was the wheels of the old
day stage coaches that first started
the water running down in theil
course and finally cutting down tC
the depth that it has after sixty years
or less. In places for a few miles
the old trail is as it was when first
used, while in others it is cut down
but slightly, yet in still others de-
tours have to be made for short dis
tances. These are still exceedingly
rough, as are some crossings of the
wash that formerly was the road,
The sportsmen of Ely have raised
a fund of $500 which is being spent
on this work, and the county is un-
derstood to be planning to possibly
shoulder n part of the cost.
]. w. Thiessen. who is doing the
work, has fixed it enough so that
autos can get owe it by using the
utmost care in driving, and will go
over it again and improve it further
to the extent that available funds
will allow.
He also is removing The loose rock

Riepetown Scrap after
Recall of Officer

An officer with guns, billies and
swords might be stationed at Riepe~
town for three years and never have
an opportunity of making an arrest
or quieting a disturbance, yet let BIN
be recalled to save the county the
amount of his salary and there will
be plenty doing the first day or night
thereafter, as the cas- may be. So
it was this week when George Jack.
son returned after it being decided
that the cost of his service would
have to be foregone as a measure of
retrenchment. The next day there
was a scrap at Riepetown, Which is
said to have sayored for a time of a
free-for-all, and one nan emerged
with a badly pommeled and lacerated
countenance. yet no arrests were
made, and while Riepetown has set
tied down since to a state of pro-
found quietude, it at least has saved
it's reputation for perhaps another

COUNTRY RID OF Rabbits
BY LIST WINTERS SNOW

force of starvation this year to do
that-almost.
In a drive of three days through
Steptoo and Butte valleys this week
where previously there were rabbits
that could not be counted in less
than hundreds of thousands, one
solitary rabbit was seen by n member
of the White Pine News staff.
Wednesday morning, which was the
one of the snowstorm, on the drive
from the Thirty Mile ranch to Ely,
not a track was seen in ten or twelve
miles, until near the fence of the
Bradley place at the lower end of
Bothwick creek, and there only one
was observed, and it may have been
a cottontail. Not another was seen
until the fiat was reached this side
of Hercules gap, where n or two
were noticed and if two it is likely
that both were made by the same
rabbit. Last year their tracks there
in any snow were like sheep.
Every one knows how the country
teemed with them tefore, so when
it is said millions Of them have died
it is meant literally, for there were
that many here and now they are
gone.
They were a greater pest than peo-
pie generally supposed, and many
persons never gave it a thought. The
rabbits that were in the country at
this time last year were eating more
grass than the cattle, and probably
half as much as the sheep.
Besides they have ruined grain crops
galore, as we'll as other crops. Many
ranchers have at times had to aban-
don certain crops en- account of
them.
But as ruinous as they have been
here they never wer a drop in the
bucket to what they have been in
southern and eastern Oregon. There
they literally devoured haystacks. In
a half a winters time stacks of hay
by the score have been eaten into I'M
ill they fell over, and that was fol-
lowed by the rest being eaten or
ruined by being :oussei and fouled
by them.
1t is a question what effect the 1ab-
bit shortage is having upon the
coyote population Appearances are
that they have migrated on account
of it, but that they are unusually
numerous around waters where there
are ducks, like Ruby lake and the
valley. and they are more hungry
and therefore doing more harm at
ranches after poultry. sheep and pigs,
as well as range sheep, which they
are following more closely than
usual.

Last winters's deep snow had an
unexpected yet desirable result, but
one that until now had not been heard
of in the newspapers. 1t was that OF
killing millions of iackrabbits and
leaving the country almost bare of
them.
All did not die in exactly the same
way, but it is probable that most of
them starved to death. Second to
this in number thousands were kill
ed by coyotes, which otherwise could
not have caught them by wholesale.
Another considerable number were
slain by hawks and birds.
The snow averaged between twenty
and twenty-four inches in depth this
part of the country over. 1t buried
all food of rabbits far beyond their
reach. All grass was gone and the
brush that they generally bark in
time of light or moderate snowfalls
was buried deeply. Practically every
thing that was left for them vas in the
form of the lagrer of the brush that
they might locate and burrow down
to the bark and exc out existence
upon it. But bark does not comprise
the mainstay of a rabbits menu They
live upon grass mostly, winter as
we'll as summer. 1t is only when
there is a considerable depth of snow
that fresh barking may be observed.
So that the result of this was that
most of the rabbits in this part of
the intermountain country starved
outright. They could not locate
enough grass to keep them alive and
the brush that they burrowed after
did not amount to enough to keep the
starving.
The way the coyotes got so many
of them was through the snow being
soft a good part of the time that it
lay, and especially at the latter end
of the siege when it was melting. ANY
canine could pick them up within a
few yards and naturally coyotes kill
ed thousands more than they could
eat.
The same VISA done in a smaller
way in the latter part of the winter
of 1876. That winter two heavy
falls OF snow came and both crusted.
Combined they were not so deep as
last winters one, so that probably
not many rabbits starved, but in the
spring as both crusts melted the rab-
bits by hundreds were slain by dogs
in the vicinity Of every ranch, and
by coyotes out from the ranches. The
coyotes outnumbered the dogs more
than 100 to one.
But they did not totally annihilate
the rabbits that year. 1t took the

IDAHO SUFFERING BY
RANGE GRASS LOSS

The trouble with business condi-
tions in Idaho, of which a great deal
has been heard in the past two years,
is that of a complication Of the land
and livestock situations. This is the
opinion of Gus Bertsch, former pro-
bate Judge of Butte county, who spent
a few days in Ely this week. w. J.
Lamme, a practicing attorney of
Arco, the county seat of Butte coun-
ty, and the judge are looking the
country over, hoping TO find a loca-
ton. They anne in Mr.. Lamme's car,
returning to Idaho by way of Sail.
Lake Friday.
THE table land between Wood
river and Boise used to be a great
stock country said Judge Bertsch,
but owner OF small ranches, some
of them homesteaders and some who
bought land, have ploWed up the ma
tive grass 10 plant grain. The grain
crops have failed about three years
out of every four and the grass that
was plowed up never grew again.
The blowing has killed it.
"As a stock country it is not what
it was and farming has proved to be
a disappointment"
Butte county is one of the three
formed out of old Blaine county, of
which Haley is the county seat. The
three today r Blaine, Butte and
Camas, the county seat of the last
named being Fairfield. Judge Bertsch
was probate judge before the di-
vision and the same in Butte after the
division. At the last election he was
not a candidate to succeed himself.
Mr.. Lamme is an attorney of ex-
ceptional attainments. He IS look
ing for a location in a town Of ten or
fifteen thousand people, which is his
reason for not selecting Ely.

 Then Raggedy Andy and the
 Knight carried the funny little man into the oak tree, for he had a large bump on the top Of his head. where the Knights armor had bumped it.

 any vinegar, nor anything to eat at all.
 Dear mel" Raggedy Andy said, Haven't you anything to eat, Sneez- icks"

JOHN-A-DREAMS
PEER INTO YOUR DREAMS

If you are an unmarried woman would you like to see the features of him who will be the guardian of your future destinies? If you are married-have you the desire to see him who adores you from afar, who, were it not for the respect he bears you, would tell you that his heart is lching with yearning whenever his eyes meet yours? Then wish for a dream which will show you, hanging upon a wall, the picture of man. It may prove to be an exact likeness of the one you have in mind-there may be merely a faint resemblance, yet enough to suggest the right person; for the dormant mind draws blurred lines and vague ones more often than it succeeds in producing a photo graphic likeness. If, on the other hand, the picture is that of a total stranger, you are yet to meet the man whom your dream pictures, and you ment of his features; for, as soon as he crosses your path, the first chap- ter will be written in the great TO- nance of your life
