The main line freight yesterday with Conductor Marshall and engi neer Smith made* a record run, cover ing the 141 miles with 1,3C0 tons in less than Stj hours. Captain Jack Hanlin, conductor of the main line passenger, has proved himself an honest man. A lady left her pocket-book in the Pullman of No. 4 last night and the noble minded conductor without ev«- looking in it put It in the way of prompt return to its rightful possessor, presumably a lady passenger who got off at McGill.

France Is the world’s human hair ' market. 1 Still Maintains That Does Not Remember In order that he might receive bet ter care and more attention, Andrew Klanjac, Austrian charged with the murder of Marco Dukovac, a fellow countryman, at Mcuul January 19th last and suffering from frozen feet sustained In attempting to get out of the country, was yesterday removed from the county jail back to the county hospital, where he was arrest ed about two weeks ago. Although Klanjac is still unable to walk, his feet are steadily Improving and it is expected that he will be able to move about unaided in a few weeks. He will probably be placed on trial for the murder of Dukovac soon after the return of Judge Mitchell from Win nemucca. Marco Sutia, an eye-witness of the murder of Dukovac, who is at pres ent empoyed on the work of beautify-, ing the grounds of the county court house. assisted in carrying Klanjac in a chair from the jnii to the hos pltat and the two conversed at length relative to the killing. Klanjac, how ever. added nothing new to the story he told when taken into custody at the hospital about two weeks ago. He still maintained to Butia, who when upon his arrest identified him. as the man wanted for the murder of Dukovac, that he was under the in fluence of liquor the night of the tragedy and was not certain as to his acts. He steadfastly declared, how ever, that he did not kill Dukovac.
