Semi-Annual lakes.

A great many people fail to see
the necessity for Lincoln County oi
law such as goes into effect this
year, permitting taxes to be paid In
two installments, There are few
large tax payers in this county and
those few are supposed to be able to
pay in one installment as we'll as two
or more.
The passage of the law was urged
by the repres' natives OF those coun-
ties which have money in the treasury
all the year around and no debts
In such cases it was argued, money
lay idle great portion of the year
money too, which taxpayers fre
quently found it necessary to borrow
at high interest, etc, and that l
worked double injury.
Alaw, similar in its provisions =
the present was passed by the legis
lature of 1896, at the end OF the ses
sion, but was vetoed by Gov0rno
Jones.

Congressman F. G. Newlands is
touring the state in the interest OF the
Silver Party and his own reelection.
He is making some strong talks, and
states facts, which ne is in pecu-
liar position to know to exist, why
the silver issue is not yet dead to
the extent of justifying a disbanding
of the Nevada Silver Party, as some
of the democrats claim, and his rea-
sons will be cemented by popular
vote of the people week from next
Tuesday.

JACKSON EXPLAINS THB TRADE
The Notorious Negro Defends Himself on I
Chsrge Of Petty Larceny

The Notorious Negro Defends Himself on
Chsrge Of Petty Larceny
Upon charge Of petty larceny, Ed
ward or Peter" Jackson, the notorious
negro, was yesterday afternoon tried
before Justice Morrison for stealing
watch from Oscar Miner. The COM
planning witness said that he had given
the watch to Jackson upon the latter S
representation that he would secure him
a room, depositing the watch assecurity
for the payment Of rent. JACKSON Ialied
to get him room, and. instead OF re-
turning the watch. sold 1t to a pawn
broker for 81. tfri
Considerable merriment was caused
by the defendant when he took the
stand in his own behalf. Although half
witted, Jackson Is indescribably funny
with his grotesque use of words, coupled
with the working Of an enormous mouth,
which the great and only Billy Kersands
might view with envy, He enceavored
to- explain to the court that he had
bought the watch from Miner for $1.75.
the latter being anxious to sell 1t because
he had no money wherewith to secure
place to sleep. Jackson failed, however,
to explain why it was he sold the time
piece at a loss Of rs cents almost imme-
diately after the alleged transaction. At
the conclusion of the Evidence the mat
ter was taken under consideration by
the Judge, decision to be given this morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock

 Deputy Sheriff Munds returned to Prescott last evening after an experi ence both novel and unpleasant He went out to look for and arrest Mrs. Frank Relish, against whom a charge of insanity had been prefs rred. The woman left Placeritas Tuesday and walked all night in the bitter cold, having no covering fer her head, gun ny sacks wrapped around her feet, not vestige of clothing en her body save a thin Mother Hubbard. Of course, she came near freezing. In trailing her Deputy Munds found her bujrro dead beside the road. She had been driving the unpacked animal in front of her until it laid down and died-at least, this is the supposition. Munds says the woman has lost h F mind entirely. He overhauled her in the Walnut Grove neighborhood, where she is being cared for by her husband. Deputy Munds will go out today and bring her in. This unfortu- nate human being has lcng been a local character in this section, and Is more commonly known by nickname given her by the thoughtless people. She has roamed the country at will, on foot, for years. MT.
