lively. So far thereare the nominees
Of the Silver and. Democratic parties
and six independent candidates con-
testing for che honor of representing
Elko county in the next Assembly.
The fusion nominees are w. s.
Clayton of Mound Valley, William
Smiley of Starr, and ex Assembly
man j. H .Weiland.
w. s. Clayton. the Democratic rep.
resentative on the ticket was born in
Morgan county, Tennessee, July %,
1927. In the summer of 1910, he
moved with his parents to couth-
western Missouri where he lived until
ls47. On the breaking out of the
Mexican war, he walked $50 miles to
Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, where
he enlisted in Company G of the Sixth
U. S. Infantry. His regiment was sta
toned on the frontier and did duty i'll
keeping communications open with
the army in Mexico and remained
there until peace was declared. The
regiment was then ordered to Fort
L,IJelHor Ii. 60 miles distant. Thi
post was reached on the 10th of
December, 1848, here the regiment
remained until June, 16, 1949, when it
was ordered to Fort Laramie in what
ID pow the State of Wyoming. Here
Mr.. Clayton was honorably discharged
from the service on the 10th Of April,
1852. Immediately on his discharge
from the army, he started for the geld
fields OF Califor mia, passing over the
ground where Elko now stands in
July, 1852, over "A years ago. In
California he followed placer mining
in Placer, Eldorado and several other
counties until 1860 when he came to
this State and began ranching in
what was then called Carson county,
Utah.
Mr.. Clayton has lived continuously
in this State since that time. In 1863
he went to Hamilton during the min
ing excitement Of that year and has
lived in White Pine and
Elko counties ever since. He served
one term as Justice of the Peace in
Lyon county, four years in Cherry
Creek, White Pine county, and four
lear, in Mound Valley. this county.
Although Mr.. Clayton is nearly
seventy years old, he is in the full
vigor of a robust manhood, and has
full command OF all his faculties. He
is an industrious, honest, hardwork-
ing tlller of the soil whose. long and
varied experience in lie would make
him a valuable member on the floor
Of the Assembly. He served his
country faithfully during the Next
can war and did his part toward ad-
ding Nevada and her sister States to
the American Union. He did his du-
" then by his country and would do
his duty to his constituents on the
floor OF the Assembly,
In politics Mr.. Clayton has always
been a staunch Democrat. In 1924
in common with the most Of his party
In this State, he voted the Silver tick
ct. He is an earnest supporter of
Bryan and Sewall and believes in the
principles they advocate. II elected
he will cast his vote for John p. Jones
for United States Senator. His DEM
ocracy entities him to the vote Of
every Democrat in the country and
his stand on the Senatorial question
should give him the support Of every
voter who favors tile reelection of
Senator Jones. Remember the old
Mexican war veteran and place a
cross after his name on election
day.

END OF KANSAS DIVORCES
Important Decision handed Down by
Judge Dennison OF Appellate Court.

Important Decision handed Down by
Judge Dennison OF Appellate Court.
BY a decision of the Kansas Court OF
Appeals at Fort Scott The divorce bus
mess is practically stopped in this
state until the next legislature meets,
as the court held that a husband and
wife cannot testify against each other
in a suit for alimony or an action for
divorce. The case in which the opin-
ion was given was from Ford county
in the western division, and was enti-
tied z. P. Shepherd VS.. Arabeila Shop
herd, The opinion was handed down
by Judge Dennison. The syllabus is
as follows:
Ffrss-A husband and wife are in
competent to testify for or against each
other in an action for divorce or for
aiimony.
ESeoond-Section of chapter 11s of the
session laws of 1871, being paragraph
4765 of the general statutes of 1889, is
In conflict with section Is of article of
the constitution of Kansas.
In the ha.beas corpus case Of L. D.
Roberts, Of this city, who was arrested
on complaint of Fletcher Oliver, who
had Judgment against him, the de-
PENDANT was discharged and Judge Cole
gave the following opinion:
First-Sections 4s72 and 1873, general
statutes of 1888 in so far as they relate
to the arrest and Imprisonment of a
judgment debtor upon the affidavit of
the plaintiff, his agent or attorney alone
are unconstitutional and void, for the
reason that they are in violation of ar
ticle IA, section 1, of the constitution Of
the United States, which declares that
no state shall deprive any person of
life. or liberty without due process of
iaw"
Another important decision was that
of Judge Johnson, in the case Of the
board Of county commissioners of Mint
gonlery county vs.. J. w. Glass, register
of deeds. Judge Johnson sustained the
1ower court, thus declaring the fees
and salary BILL over which such fight
has been made, unconstitutional 1t
IS thought that this decision will apply
10 all counties having the fee and Sala-
ry bill IN force.

cations point TO the conclusion that the
man killed was of good family. and that
had he let his relatives known that he
was in straitened circumstances that
he would have been furnished relief.
The bank wired that they would be re-
sponsible for all charges and that moth
ing was to be left undone that would in
any manner relieve the sadness of the
accident from the relatives OF the man.
He was PLACID in fine casket and
dressed IN first-class style. II is proba-
bic that the young man had run out OF
money and was too gritty TO let his
wants be known It is also believed
that when the train arrived at the
junction he supposed IT would stop for
sometime and started to get OF when
he was caught and killed.
