Tonopah had another runaway this morning and this time it was the dairy wagon of George Litts, The driver and Mrs. Litts were on the seat as the wagon rounded the corner of Main street into Brougher avenue when an auto mobile scared the horses, causing them to ' bolt suddenly. Blefore the driver could gain control of the team the wagon struck the stand pipe, where the sprlinkler wagon is filled, turned the ye' hide over, and Mrs. Litts and the driver ' were thrown to the ground with great force, striking the stand pipe and breaking that artiela. The team then dashed down Mineral street, breaking lose from the wagon at the corner of Mineral street and Oddie avenue, and were finally caught on Main street. Mrs. Litts was r'un over by the wagon when it turned over, but while considerably bruised and her clothing somewhat torn, , claimed to be not seriously injured, and proved herself to be a plucky , little woman by refusing assistance and helping to gather the property of the dairy,' which bad been scattered over the street. The damage to the wagon was slight, a tongue being broken, but the contents of the cans were split and customers not receiving their milk today will know the reason Water from the broken stand pipe flooded Brougher avenue and Main street for some time, until em ployes were put to work repairing the break.

A special educational film en titled "Wild Animals in Captivity, will be shown at the Butler theater tonight, showing their care and treatment in one of America's fin est zoos, Lincoln Park, Chicago, In importance, magnitude and value, the Lincoln Park zoo' in Chicago, is second to none in America. Cov- ering several acres of ground in one of the finest municipal parks in America, its collection of rare animals, birds, etc., is widely known throughout the world as one of great value. Among the most important features of this-zoo, in whicbj it eclipses all others, is it' herd of buffalo, or American bison of which it has the largest herd the world. The Essanay film exceptionally interesting in that its treatment of the -subject is made novel and unusually entertaining many novel and picturesque features never photographed in motion pi tures before. . We are shown surgical operation on a three- months'-old Siberian camel. We see the poisonous fangs of a giant python snake, measuring fourteen feet in length, removed from the Immense Jaws of the reptile, while it requires all the strength four or five men to hold it. W also see the clipping of the claws of Prince Roland, an African lion, a variety of manicure work which would not prove very alluring to the average nail-trimmer. Among the many animals seen in the film elephant, zebra, camels, buffalos, . lions, tigers,, leopards, sea lions, jjj birds and fowl of all kinds, rep tiles, monkeys, etc. This subject should be seen by everyone. Tomorrow uuemuuii uuu evening we show the progressive- ness of moving picture manufacture and we will be able to show the city of Bangor, Maine, being de- stroyed by fire. This calamity happened only two weeks ago. fIXXEMUCCA NOW HAS FULL FLEDGED DAXCE HALL FARMING BEING CARRIED ON-HERE SUCCESSFULLY .EORGE LITTS IS DEMONSTRAT ING THAT MM L SOIL WILL PROVE PRODUCTIVE. G. LEE RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OP B. OF,R. T, REVIVAL IN STORE FOR TUSCARORA NEW YORK PEOPLE SECURE CONTROL OF PROPERTIES OF THAT DISTRICT William A. Parish, Jr., the new superintendent of the Tuscarora Nevada Mines company, which has recently been organized, was in Salt Lake a few 'days ago, and to a representative of the Herald- Kepublican, accorded an interview: Mr. Farish, at the present stage of the procedure, did not care to talk of the proceedings, but admit ted tha company is making a thor ough sampling of the various mines included in the big consolidation which was consummated about year ago, and before the New York interests, now in control, got hold of it. There are several miles of un derground workings in the Tusea rora-Nevada holdings. It takes over a dozen groups of claims, which have a reputed total. production of $40,000,000, in the combination Many years ago this district, 5 miles north of Elko, and not fa southwest from the budding Gold Creek district, was one of the most famous camps in the west. The formation up there is rhyo lite and andesite, similar to Tono pah, most of the ores making on the contracts. The depest shaft Is 600 feet. Mr. Farish thinks from the in terest manifested this spring in that part of the state that there will be a boom In Northern Nevada before the summer is half expired. He says he hears a lot of talk; about Gold Creek and vicinity, by fall he expects the Tuscarora company will have things pretty well round ed out for active operations. There are many who claim that the valleys around Toncjpah will some day be under cnlYv;ation, and among those that are of tlm is be- ief is George Litts of..-H'lie Tono pah dairy. Mr. Litts is not only of this belief, but is demonstrating that it is correct. George is the pioneer dairy man and, to add to his laurels, is going to be the pioneer farmer. Mr. Litts has homesteaded a tract of land just beyond the laundry about four miles from town, ' has built a nice home and has broken several acres of ground and plant ed trees and vegetables. Peas are now about six inches high, a pear tree is growing at a rate that would make a California orchardist al most ashamed of himself, and a climbing rose is also showing much thrift and promises to yield an abundance of beauties when it is older. Vegetables of all kindp have been planted and are doing nicely. There are several wells on the place and an abundance ' of water is at band, which is being pumped to the surface by a four-horse-power gasoline pump. Poultry also thrives and the farm can boast of as fine chickens, turkeys and ducks as can be found in farming com munlties. The acreage is well sheltered by. the hills and when the ground is broken under the plow shows a fine soil. Many people scouted the idea that a dairy could be run successfully in this locality but Mr. Litts made ii success o it and is now going to repeat by demonstrating that ranching can also be carried on.

A few days ago some one with a light wagon and one horse visited the place and stole windows and doors from his houses.

The old garage at the head of Florence "avenue is being torn down and the material moved away. The building belong ed to the Lothrop-Davis company and was on leased ground. Fear of fire inc the unnecessary expense attached to a vacant building is the cause of the destruction. When automobile lines were es tablished in every direction and many private cais were owned in the city this garage wa filled and quite a force was employed in and about the b uilding.

The Lovelock Tribune says the first of last week Albert Marker and brother, Orville, brought to Lovelock a bunch of forty wild mustangs captured in the country adjacent to Black canyon. The horses, for the most part, were unbranded, although a few belong ed to P. N. Marker. They will be shipped to the coast and sold. The Marker brothers contemplate going into the wild horse captur ing business on quite an extensive scale this summer. Both are ex pert riders and have met with con siderable success so far in captur ing the unbranded horses that run wild. One method they employ in cap turing the animals is to select some train, or favorite haunt of the ani mals, and there build a corral that Is concealed from view. One rider then goes out and heads a bunch of horses along the trail while the other, mounted on a fresh horse, Is hidden at a point near the corral entrance as the ani mals pass the point where the sec ond rider Is stationed he gets In behind them with a yell, and the Surprised and frightened animals rush Into the enclosure unawares. w IssMpd in this city to F.

GOVERNOR ALLEN SHAVED WHISKERS The rider closes in quickly and fastens the gate cn them. Another method is to build a carefully, concealed corral aboult some spring to which the horses usually. come to drink. The corral is built in two compartments, one enclosing the spring, while the other is built back some distance and connected by gate with the former. As the horses come up to the spring to drink, a man hidden near the entrance to the first corral closes the gate cn them by means of a long rope that is attached to the gate. The animals are then driven into the second enclosure and the gate shut. The first corral, or the trap is again made ready to re ceive another band, and thus the process is continued until the corral is full. This method cannot be operated with much success this time of the year owing to the fact that there are , numerous drinking places and the horses will evade one where a trap is set. Later in the summer, however, when most of the springs dry up and there is left but few drinking places, sometimes but a solitary spring in many square miles of desert terri tory, the pangs of thrist overcomes the fears of capture, and this meth od is worked in a successful manner. These wild horses are usually quite small and do not command high prices when placed on sale. Capturing numbers of them, how ever, makes the work profitable.
