Mrs. ". F. Ryus Testifies.


Mrs. w. F. Ryus, formerly Miss Kittie
Garrison, was the next witness. She
is we'll acquainted with John Collins
and the members of the Collins family
She was at Lakeview July 8, 1897, with
the Collins family and was present dur
ing the conversation concerning hold
ups to which Mrs. Cochrane testified at
the morning session of court. Mrs.
Ryus corroborated the evidence which
Mrs. COchrane had given, by saying:
Mr.. Collins told US about the negro
following him on Sixth street and that
he had marched him out under the
electric light, and after telling him it
was the second time this had occurred,
and if the negro followed him again,
Mr.. Collins told him he would shoot
him. ordered the negro away"
w. F. Ryus corrObOrated the evidence
of his wife and also that of Mrs. Coch-
rane, by narrating the same story. The
direct and cross examina ton of these
witnesses was very brief.
Miss Gertrude Wyatt, a friend of the
Collins family for ten years, during
which time she has visited the family
on an average of once a week. She has
also stayed at the house while Mrs.
Collins was in the east. Miss Wyatt
stated that the manner of John Collins
towards his mother and sister was I'M
usually affectionate and that father and
son were very much like brothers and
were unusually affectiOnate for father
and son. The witness said she had OBJ
served this at all times during her long
acquaintance Win the FAMILY.
Q.-Have you ever noticed anything
about John to indicate that he was
avaricious, covetous, selfish. regardless
of rights of others, cold-blooded, re-
Vengeful, cruel, malicious or vicious?
Al never have.
Miss Wyatt stated that following the
Masonic entertainment at Library hall,
May 10, at which she sang in the even
ing, Mr.. Collins called her attention to
the heavily loaded leather cane which
he carried, remarking at the same time
that he always carried it for protection
from footpads. The witness worked for
her sister March 81, in Mr.. Collins of
flee, and that day-John Collins birth
day-Mr. Collins had told her that he
intended to give John a vacation in the
summer and let him go where his fancy
dictated, and when he had returned,
would take him into the office and start
him in business. Mr.. Collins had also
told Miss Gertrude Wyatt that he had
several important deals on hand, and
said in a joking way:
"Gertie, when I get those deals
through we'll open a key of nails.' Miss
Wyatt also stated that during the three
weeks she was at the Collins house,
during which time Miss Grace was sick
John, who was at the university, wrote
to his sister every day.

WILL TEST THE LAW.

Mr.. S. Z. Davis, editor of the Appeal
win test the poll tax law, passed by the
last Legislature One of the printers
working in the Appeal Office attempted
to register last Friday and was refused
because he could not produce his poll
tax receipts for 1897 and 1898. Notice
was at once given to the registry agent
that test case would be made. Hon.
William Woodbur has been retained
by Mr.. Davis to test the law in the
courts.
By getting the law In the courts now
a decision will be rendered before the
fall election and no citizen need be de-
prived of the right to vote. II the courts
sustain the law, those who have not paid
the necessary poll tax can hustle around
and raise the necessary funds to get
their certificates OF citizenship from the
assessors. Ifdeclared unconstitutional,
every citizen win have the right to vote,
without being taxed to exercise that
right. There ought to be some other
way of raising revenue than by taking
the elective franchise.

NATIONAL MINING BUREAU.

The Butte Mining World says that
there is considerable justification in the
plea for national mining bureau when
1t is stated that in the department Of
agriculture at Washington there are
2, 443 employees. Conservative estim-
ates place the mineral product of 1898 at
$500, 900, 900, and yet there is no divisi' n
in the great federal machinery OF the
Government to look after the magnifi-
cent industry of mining. With ), 443
persons looking after the turnips and
pumpkins Of the broad land, it does
seem that fair play ought to suggest
the expenditure of few dollars at least
in behalf of the economic production of
ores.

Nevada wool was quoted in the classi-
fication of the New York Exchange on
the 22nd of March as follows: Fine, IL
to IA cents; fine medium, Is to Is cents;
medium, II cents. This is gratifying
increase over the quotations of year
ago and conclusively proves that the
Dingley tariff has benefited one of the
industries of Nevada. Were the Re-
publican party consistent in its doctrine
of protection, it would also have pro-
tected our greatest industry-the min
ing of silver-and Nevada would be the
most prosperous State in the Union.
