The St. Paul Dispatch sizes up the
stamp tax as follows:
The stamp tax-the pestiferous little
sticker that you attach to the checks
you give and to similar dOcuments-is
merely a tWO-cent reminder to the fell
lows who stay at home that they are
contributing a little-a very little. too
to pay for the hard tack and bacon that
go to make up the daily diet of the
boys in blue who are fighting the ma
tion's battle in heather lands; and
fighting the nations battles in heather
lands is just about several times worse
than licking revenue stamps in a coun-
try where the potatoes grow so fast
that they make corns on their neigh
borss skins, trying to push them out of
the hill.

Puett Discharged from Cu,todv.

Judge Bonnifield came I'D from
Wnnemucca Thursday night to hear
the application of j. w. Puett for a
writ OF habeas corpus in the case OF
the State VS.. Mrs. j. W. Puett and
.. W. Puett. The application was
neard this morning in Judge Talbot's
chambers. Brown & Henderson an.
peared for Puett and the district at
torney represented the State. Mr..
Brown read the evide nee taken mt the
preliminary examination and asked
the court to discharge the petitioner,
as there WAS ne evidence connecting
him with the offense. The. district
attorney replied and urged that Puett
De held, as Picanso would testify that
Puett fired the shot that nearly
snutfed out his existence. He also
urged that Puett's mind was the con-
trolling mind and that if he did not
fire the shot he was in measure re-
sponsible for it. After a brief reply
by MIR. Brown, Judge Bonnitield held
that he could not go outside of the
record ana that the evidence taken
at the preliminary examination con.
tanned nothing upon which to hold
Mr. Puett to- appear before the grand
Jury. He, therefore, ordered that he
be released from the custody of the
sheriff.
Since Mr.. and Mrs. Puett we're
brought from Carlin, they have re-
NAMED il town in custody of the
sheriff. Mrs. Puett's condition is
such that Sheriff Campbell did not
think it prudent to put her and MIR.
Puett in jail. Since Monday they
have remained i'll custody Of the
sheriff at the home of Mrs. Puett's
parents. She gave bonds this after.
noon and was discharged from Gus
tody.
