Interest of Sitter.
CARSON, Feb. 1.-The following resolu-
ton was passed by the Senate to-day:
WHEREAS, The critical condition OF the
finances of the country fully demonstrate the
justice OF the call of the people of Nevada for

nently distinguished services of MAJOR por-
ton of lifetime rendered for the cause by

of money commensurate with the nations
growth, and without which there can never be
general prosperity; therefore, be it

opinions of the people of the State; and further

ANGRY DIRECTORS.
Barrett and CareW Resent
the Charges Of Fraud.
DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM.
Claim to Have a Fair Appreciation Of
Good Government.
MAY NOT STOOP 10 FILE ANSWER.
The Suits Brought by AmeS and Symmes
Have Stirred Up a WhirlWind
Of Indignation.

'What do they mean by these suits9"
asked School Director Carew plaintively.
''They look like a reflection upon cur
motives" suggested School Director Bar
rett sadly.
The two Directors were evidently per-
turbed by the news conveyed in THE CALL
yesterday to the effect that Pelham Ames
and Frank ]. Symmes had filed suit to
contest their seats on the Board of Educa-
ton. The ground of the contests was set
forth generally as fraud in the election
conduct.
But what seemed especially to annoy
Directors Carew and Barrett was a coinci-
dent expression of Mr.. Ames and Mr..
Symmes in regard to their motive in filing
a contest. II don't expect to overcome
the majority of Mr.. Carew." had said Mr..
Ames, land only make the contest in the
interest OF good government"
"'Good government, F" repeated the sue
cessful candidates when seen yesterday.
Don't we know as much about good
government as Mr.. Ames, and are we not
as deeply interested in maintaining it as
he isl"
at looks" continued Mr.. Carew, 'as if
Mr.. Ames desired to cast reflection upon
US personally. This statement would
make it appear that if fraud has been COM
mitted in our election we were cognizant of
it. To that 1 wish to enter an emphatic
denial'
"And then, again, Frank Symmes,"
added Director Barrett. lin his explanatory
letter to Attorney Brandon, mysteriously
makes the same claim. He declares that
he does not desire my seat, but makes the
contest entirely in the interest of honest
elections and good government
Neither of the contestants expects to
overcome the majority against him-at
least so they say-and yet they are willing
to make the contest for good governments
sake. think they might at least credit US
with an appreciation of good government
equal to their own"
Director Carew stated that neither he nor
his menaced colleague had decided to file
an answer to the complaints. He said that
though there might possibly have been
fraud committed in certain precincts dur
ing the count of votes for School Directors,
he himself knew nothing of it. He depre-
Gated having to sustain the burden and ex-
pense OF answering suit which was hled,
not to unseat him, but for some vague OBJ
ject. AS far as he could see from the COM
plant, neither contestant denied that he
and Mr.. Barrett had received overwhelm-
ing majorities which it was not expected to
overcome.
The majority of Carew over Ames is
1924; that of Barrett over Symmes is
1874. The object of the contests, as
stated by the proposed contestants, is "to
uncover fraud and II nossihle nnnish II -

Stimulated by Re,Udrds.
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 1.-The daring ban
dts who held up the westbound overland
train near Wilcox are still at large and the
whole southern part of the Territory is
being secured for them. The Southern
Pacific Company has, in addition to Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s standing reward of $500,
offered $500. A reward of $500 altogether
is offered for the arrest and conviction of
each of the robbers. This reward has
caused all of the old-time sleuths to take
to the trail, and early apprehension of the
bandits is expected. The amount taken
from the through safe is not exactly
known, but it is believed it will exceed
5000. About 5000 of the Mexican dollars
have been recovered by the WELSH Fargo
agent at Wilcox.
A special dispatch received this evening
by the Star from Tombstone says posses
are hot on the trail of the bandits, which
leads to the north, and that more than two
menare in the G ang.

OUR INDIAN UPRISING,
AGENT TETER'S REPORT PRESENTED
TO WASHINGTON.
The Lawless Element'of the Settlers
Preclpitated the Trouble-Indians
Observed Their Treaty, but it
Conflicts With Wyoming Laws.

WASHINGTON, July "a. - The
secretary of the Interior has re-
quested the secretary of war to
send troops to the scene
of the Indian disturbance in
Wyoming. 1t is understood
troops will be ordered instantly.
Action of the Interior department
was taken upon receipt Of the fol-
lowing dispatch this morning from
Indian Agent Teter, who was Or
dered to 60 from Fort Hall reser-
walton in Idaho, to Investigate the
trouble and induce the Indians to
return to their reservation.
"Fort Hall reservation, Brown
ing, commander, Indian affairs,
Washington:
1 have Investigated the trouble
between the Indians and settlers
in Wyoming and advise that
troops be sent there immediately
to protect the law abiding settlers.
The lawless element among the
settlers seem determined to cause
a conflict with the Indians. The
settlers have killed four to
seven Indians, which incenses the
Indians, who have gathered to
the number of 200 or 800 near Fall
River, Uintah county, and refuse
to return to their reservations. 1
find the Indians have killed game
unlawfully, according to the laws
Of Wyoming, though not unlaw-
fully according to the treaty of the
Indians with the United States,
thus usurping the prerogatives of
the settlers, which caused the
trouble. Nothing but the inter-
vention Of soldiers will settle the
difficulty and save the lives of in
nocent persons and destruction of
property"
