Story Credited To Forester Rudolph Dieffenbach, forest as sistant of the Nevada forest, who re turned to headquarters yesterday from boundary survey duty in Spring Valley, brought back a tale which is likely to cause him to be classed as a “nature fakir.” Dieffenbach declares that he saw Forest Guard D. B. Bailey, stationed at Berry Creek, in the Duck Creek mining district, rope a wild lynx sit ting on top of a fence post at the Kee gan ranch in Spring Valley about ten days ago. Dieffenbach maintains that the lynx had run up the post and was kept there by Baileys dog. Bailey, upon riding up, threw his lariat, and, by a slight twist of the wrist, jerked the lynx from the post. The animal showed fight and Bailey, putting spurs to his horse, dragged the lynx to death. Mr. Dieffenbach was accompanied back to headquarters by Assistant Forest Ranger Robert E. Burke, who will resume duty at his regular sta tion at Hamilton in a few days. FROM HAMILTON. Louis Lanie, Charles Minolettl and Ed Coyle, who are heavily interested in mining at Hamilton, came in last night for a business visit of several days.

Morgan leaves on this morning's train to visit Doutre Family Feud Comes To Attention Again Through Cutting-Victim's Side The family troubles of the Doutres, living near Aurum in Spring Valley, which long since divided the house against Itself, were brought out afresh Wednesday afternoon when Fred, 31 years of age, the oldest son, slashed William, his youngest broth er, across the left wrist with a pock et knife, severing several arteries and cutting into the bone. Weak from the loss of blood, William, ac companied by James, his only friend ly brother, arrived in Ely yesterday afternoon and had Drs. Richardson and Brock sew up the gaping wound, seven stitches being required to close it. William stated last night that he had not decided wnether or not he would have his brother Fred arrest ed for his vicious assault, which was made without provocation, according to the wounded man. It appears that James and William took a lease on the Doutre ranch and sheep from their father. They did well and, It is claimed, thereby ex cited the envy of Fred and the other brother. Fred caused his mother and father to take sides with him against James and William by tell ing them that the latter named broth ers Intended forcing the remainder of the family off the place. The feel ing against James and William, it is said, became so bitter that they mov ed from the old home and went to keeping house by themselves on an other portion of the ranch. Last December, the father of James be came involved in a quarrel, and the former had his son arrested on a charge of assault. James had several trials before Justice Cartwright and the charge was Anally dismissed, with the result that father and son were both put under peace bonds for six months. The lease of James and William ' on the ranch expired April 1st and that on the sheep will expire in No vember. There was a settlement of affairs on the ranch lease a few days ago, and, it is said, the negotiations were not as peaceable as an outsider would suppose. At any rate, James and William were engaged Wednes day in rounding up a band of horses and were driving them to a corral in the direction of the old home. Fred, who was at work at least a mile away, according to William, jumped on his horse and started to run the band back from the direction from which it had come, swearing at James and William and telling him be did not want the animals run into the old home section of the place. Several horses belonging to Fred were in the band and he was angered because of It. All the brothers were riding at a fast clip, and it is thought William and James paid no heed to the pro tests of Fred. This angered Fred, and drawing his knife from his pock et, he slashed William across the wrist. The wound bled profusely and had it not been for the assistance of James in stopping the flow, William would probably have died from loss of blood. The wund is a very seri ous one and will probably permanent ly cripple the man. MATTERS MADE OF RECORD. Documents Filed and Other RusineM Transacted at the Court House. George 8.

Deschutes Canyon Work Appears to Indicate This. PORTLAND, April 7.—More than 9,000 men are working on the two railroads building up the Deschutes canyon. The character of the work on the Oregon Trunk would seem to preclude all possibility of that road's making a terminus in Central Ore gon. It is stated that the Hill road has been built in the most perfect man ner possible, so much attention being given to grades and curves that there are only three places on the line where it will be necessary to run a3 slow as 40 miles per hour, while at all other points a speed of 50 to fiO miles per hour will be possible. An immense amount of rock work has been necessary in order to build a line where heavy traflle can be han dled at maximum speed and minimum cost for motive power. If the Oregon Trunk were to be merely a local line into Central Oregon, It would not seem probable that the expenditures necessary to secure such advantages of curvature and grades would have been made. The road is a replira of the North Hank, which at the time of its con struction was one of the finest pieces of railroad work ever completed in the west. No such road is needed for local traffic, but it is required for through business such as Mr. Hill undoubtedly intends to carry over his new road. If he can carry the Oregon Trunk through to Cali fornia in as perfect physical condi tion as it is showing through the Deschutes Canyon, the Southern Pa cific and its friendly lines in Califor nia will be obliged to meet the most formidable competition they have ever encountered. From appear ances, the Natron cut-off, which will afford the Harriman system a faster and more economical route between Oregon and California will not be completed any too soon.
