Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1893-06-03
THE RECORDS SILENCED THEM

Mr.. Thaxter, through his organ,
no longer calls the APPEAL editor a
malicious liar etc., In connection
with the APPEALS statements re-
garding the case of the State vs..
Thaxter, charged with selling liquor
without license.
Of course the case was never push
ed to a conclusion, Mr.. Thaxter be-
ing = prominent member of the Re-
publican combine and q law unto
himself. It was quietly aid from
the calander.
The only reply the News can make
is that last Summer the editor of the
APPEAL put the county to the ex-
pense of proceedings against man
named Lachman and then dropped
all proceedings.
The facts of the case are that the
writer sWors out q complaint against
the defendent for petty larceny.
He sold chickens and eggs for the
Holstein ranch. Part of the money
he returned and part he got drunk
ON.
Larceny would have been very
difficult to prove. As long as he
kept sober he accounted for the
money received, but when he got
drunk he didn't.
The writer told Mr.. Summer6eld
to hold HE warrant until the affair
could be investigated. After inves-
tigating the matter, we concluded
that the mans peculiar business
methods arose more from whiskey
than dishonesty and asked the Dis
trict Attorney to stop all proceed
ings,
No cost bill was ever presented,
nor was there the slightest imtima-
ton of any expense incurred by the
county. If Mr.. Summer6eld will
make out the cost bill and present it,
it will be paid.
Now if the News is really anxious
to find an instance of where the
county was badly stuck, we refer it
to the Hatch case.
Dean Hatch was reported by the
Grand Jury as short in his accounts
with Ormsby county $500. Thaxter
and Bicknell were his bondsmen.
No steps were even taken to col
lect the bonds and not cent has
eyer been paid. The taxpayers had
to stand the loss.
OF course it would never do to sue
Messrs. Thaxter and Bicknell for
Mr.. Hatch's shortage. There has
always been one law for the common
herd in this county and another for
the shining lights of the cd Repub-
lican ring which, thanks to the AP-
PRA1's battering, has gone to the wall
and will soon be nothing more than
an unpleasant memory in the nostrllI
Of the taxpayers.
Meanwhile if Harry Thaxter con
cludes he wants to do the fair thing
by the county, he had better step up
to the Justice Count and settle the
costs in the suit wherein ne was the
defendant.

THE LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
The stations VIII BE Opened Today
Economy in the Summer.
au26-d&ds

All the life saving stations on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts and on the great
lakes were opened today for the season,
which runs to the first of April Ii my ap-
pear strange that the stations were not in
full operation during the recent storm,
when there was so much need for them. but
that Is the fault of the law and not of the
service. No provision is made for the opera
ton Of these stations during the summer
months on the theory that 1t Is II season Of
calm weather and perfect safety to mari
ners. This is in accord with the system Of
lighting the city by the almanac and assum-
ing that the moon will always shine 1T GER
tain periods of the month. The two recent
storms that caused death and disaster all
along the Atlantic coast would seem TO
demonstrate the imperative necessity of
opening the life saving stations earlier at
least than, the first of September.
Congress has declared that the life saw
ing stations are to be fully manned Cnly
from September l to April .ach year but
during the intervening time from April TO
September the keeper of the station must
be on hand to look after the station ard
give what assistance he can 20 snipwrecked
Seamen.
Keepers are paid by the year and surfDlen
by the month. and movement viii be
started soon to convince Congress that IL Is
necessary to maintain the stations the year
round The terrible storms during August
have shown that bad weather Is not con-
fined to the fall and winter. and that there
is much damage done to shipping and a num-
her of lives lost which might have been
ayerted or mitigated had some Of the sta
tions along the Atlantic seaboard been open
and ready for work. Yesterday eleven men
were rescued on the Long Island coast by
the keeper of a station. with the assistance
of some women who happened TO he his
guests. without their aid the keeper would
have been powerless in lending aid, but had
the station been manned and equipped no
trouble would have been experienced
II ia believed that in view OF the disasters
along the coast this month and thu number
~ lives that have been lost Secretary
Carlisle will recommend to Congress That
the stations on exposed parts OF the coas.
no m.intained throughout the year and that
two or three surfmen be kept at the other
stations to assist the keeper.

No Palmetto Trade Mark.

The application OF the state OF South
Carolina to have the word Palmetto regis
tered as a trade mark COR :he protection Of
dispensary whisky has been denied by
the commissioner of patents. she epp.ica-
ton was denied some time ago by Patent
Examiner Seeley, and was carried 10 the
commissioner on appeal. The states at
torney claimed that as a state had the
right to trade IL had the right to protection
in trade by the trade mark. Examiner
Seeley maintained that trl.ie marks be
issued only to individuals or TO corpora
tons, and that a state Is Neither. conints-
sioner Seymour holds that the dispensary
act is to be construed as a measure TO sup
press the liquor traffic on police lines, and
that the act does not look u the establish
ment OF an outside traffic. except as 10 The
purchase of liquor for 3ispen .aticn. He
holds that a state must establish lawful
trade outside Of the state before II shall Toe
entitled to a trade mark. He maintains
that there is nothing in the act to SHOW
that South Carolina intends to become a
trading corporation outside its lines.

A DishOneat Servant.

Ida Wright, a neatly attired yellow girl.
was charged in the Police Court this morn
ing with the larceny Of lot Of dry goods
from ]. Hite Johnson, In whose employ she
was.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the goods were
taken piece by piece, and that the house.
had 1t continued, would eventually have
looked as If it had been the scene of a
clearing-out sale.
The proof was CONCLUSIVE against 10a.
and Judge kimball, in sentencing her to
three months in jail, said that where per
sons entered the employ OF people to en-
gage in such robberies. he was disposed to
infiict more severe punishment than IN or
binary cases. 1t was the .neanest Kind of
theft.
