COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.


Last January when the change took
place in the State Government there
were about $4,000 standard dollars III
the State Treasury. The members of
the Legislature and others, who had
warrants on the Trasury, were paid u
part of the amount in standard dol
lars by Treasurer Westertield. 1t
was IL subject Of general comment
that all the dollars paid out of the
Treasury were new and bore the
stamp Of the Carson mint. Persons
accustomed to handling coins az
pressed the opinion that the dollar
had never been in circulation and
speculation was rife as to the manner
in which they reached the State
Treasury, as the mint. being Govern
ment property, is not taxed. All the
papers of the State, except a few
goldbug sheets, have commented up
on the transaction and one or two
have placed their columns at the SER
vice of the ex.State Treasurer for an
explanation, yet none has been
made.
Several large taxpayers of Reno
say the public have a right to know
how $4,000 silver dollars that had never
been i'll circulation found their way
from the mint to the State Treasury
The coinage OF standard dollars at the
Carson mint vas always limited and
wholly suspended early in 1893. Dur.
ing the panic in July of that year
standard dollars, which our gold
friends said were worth only sixty
cents each, commanded a premium in
New York City, and Secretary Car
isle when requested to exchange silver
dollars for greenbacks gave out for
publication a statement that there
were no free silver dollars in the
United States Treasury. This makes
the fact of $4,000 dollars of 1893 being
III the State Treasury at Carson at
the expiration of the year 1894 more
interesting. ain what mysterious
way did those dollars get therc?" is
the question asked by many persons.
Did the Treasurer exchange gold for
them, and il SO who received the gold?
Was he connected with the mint, and
if not where did be get all those new
dollars? They were not paid into the
Treasury in the regular course of
business, as County Treasurers send
the identical money received by them
from the taxpayers to the State
Treasurer and only Il very inconsider-
able part of that is silver dollars
and none of it dollars which have not
been i'll circulation.
1t is suggested that the next Leg
islaturc investigate the matter and
that authority be given Il committee
to send for persons and papers. If
that is done transactions in silver at
the mint might be shown TO be us
mysterious as those in gold appears
to be in the trial of the mint shortage
case. Men who can extract $4,000
i'll gold from Il bar of bullion and sub
silver therefor may by some
scientific method or hocos pocus
means, have substituted $4,000 stand.

mint for an equal amount of gold in

knowledge of the Treasurer.-Jour-

The officer, who is trusted officer of

there and urge Blake to go to Portland

was making up his mind that he would

Mr.. Brad bury then reviewed Blake's
attempt to escape and the consequent
struggle and assault upon Officer Pres
colt, and contended that he did not SUBJ
NIT at all, though be said he would in
the bath room, only to make another
desperate attempt to escape. After the
offic had kindly attempted not to
bruise his wrist while putting the hand
cuffs upon him (Which does not indicate
that he is such a ferocious man as the
counsel for defense would IMPLY the
prisoner, who is large, powerful man
struck the officer tremendous blow
upon the mouth and if the latter had
been of less rugged physique than he is
the prisoner would have accomplished
his purpose of isabling his prisoner
and effecting his escape. But the officer
was not disabl and finally overcome
him.
But did he then submit? In the office
of the hotel, afterwards, while hand
cuffed, he called the officer the vilest of
names, epithets that no man will re-
ceive, officer or no officer, without re-
plying with blow.
There, in that Office. Noah Prescott,
bruised, beaten, smarting from the
blows and from the indignity, in a
moment of uncomfortable anger, merely
strikes his hand across the prisoners
mouth, so Wiley abusing him. I say to
| you, gentlemen, that am astonished al
his moderation. It shows the self con-
| troll of the mantle same self control
that prevented him from retallatlne
upon Blake, after he had overpowered
him in the dark corridor. The officer
comes here, bruised and battered and
Herbert Blake comes here as fresh as
when he sat in his office chair.
And in regard to the warrant. The
fact that McCausland was not brought
here to testify that he did not return
the warrant to the officer shows that he
could not SO testify. They would have
had him here if he could. That fact is
sufficient to show that there is no doubt
| but that the officer did have the warrant.
| In closing Mr.. Bradbury reviewed the
facts of the case, and dwelt upon the ex-
cellent reputation of Deputy Marshal
