He next h.ssen-d I" call At the APPEAL
Office to make a st .te,nent in reference t.
the charges which appeared in the APPEAL re
garding the use of hair triggers by the Elm
met Guard, over which he has the honor "l
commanding He said he had FIRST seen RI.
and his ire had been excited by tn. article t..
an extraordinary degree. He had since s-el,
the report Of the meeting held by the Carson
team on Saturday night aud Was Of e "pI,,-
| ion that as a team the Carson Guards were
anxious to do the nme's justice.
CAPT. YoUNG's STATEMENT.
Capt Young said that he had been captain
of the Emmets for some seven years and
| never knew of hair trigger being used. He
was willing to make affidavit Of the fact
that such triggers had never been used with
his knowledge, aud on his honor gentle
man he believed that no such attachment had
ever been on an Emmett gun The fact that
their score at, the Miners Union match was
four points above their biggest score ought IN
itself to be sufficient refutatien of the charge,
as at the Miners Union match the locks had
been inspected and found correct. Had they
ever been in the habit of using hair triggers
their scores would have fallen of.
THE AFFAIR WITH THE NATIONALS.
Rep--How about the affair with the Ma
tionals?
Cap Young-Your informant got most of
it wrong. Some seven years ago at Bowers
Mansion, the Enmets and Nationals had
trouble while shooting for the Brigade Tro
ply. When We got on the grounds We found
Gen. Batterman had secured cartridges from
the Rock Island Arsenal for US to shoot with.
When the boxes were opened the men noticed
that pieces of wood had been placed between
the layers to keep the cartridges from shaking |
This is not the way Rock Island cartridges |
are packed, and this circumstance led to the
suspicion that the ammunition had been |
tempered with. 1t was also noticed that |
some of the cartridges had three grooves at |
the end and some had two, showing that they |
were not uniform. The Emmets had used |
of their own make, and the Nation
ais had used those of Rock Island manufac-
ture. No one accused Gen. Batterman of
anything but perfect fairness, but the impress
sion got out among the Emmets that, unbe.
known to Gen. Batteman, the cartridges had
Of the work. 1t is hard to shoot we'll, with
ammunition to which men are not accustomed
and in this instance the Emmets declined to
shoot As for Gen. Batterman demanding
IN apology, it is mistake, he never demanded
,ne. The story that the Nationals will not
'hoot with the Emmets is also false, they have
frequently shot with them since that time |
They now occupy the same armory and have
tie and drank in the same hall together and
It the same table repeatedly. The Nationals
lave not shot this year because they have
,een unable to get team of twenty men.
TIE R. r. BARoNs-The Chronicle of
ast night says: I" The railroad barons the
ther day defeated Mr.. Boardman for the
state Senate from Washoe county. We learn
rom the Ward Reaer that the railroad barons !,
lean to return H. A. Comins to the State
enate from White Pine. Mr. Boardman
,ught for the people in the last Legislature
omlns was an industrious tool of the rail-
pad lobby. The people of Nevada are CRATE =
Il. They allow the railroad barons to drive -
onest men who stood by the people cut of
usiness and out of politics, and also to re-
ard with reelection the men who used Of to
:ial position to serve the railroads and be- Z
az the people" The people have only be- e
IN to feel the weight of railroad power in HI
