Names Of Counties.

The figures in this table are abso-
lutely correct, and ii must be appar-
emit to all that some of the counties
have not the representation in the
Legislature to which they are emit.
tied. While Eureka county would
seriously object to any decrease in
the number of its Assemblymen, it is
not disposed to deny to any other
county the representation to which
it's population entities it.
On a basis of one Assemblymsn to
each 1000 of population the mem
bership in the House would be in
creased to AZ, and this would in
crease the expenses of the legisla-
tive session about Sc. 200, an outlay
which would probably not bs war;
ranted by present conditions. With
out going into further details regard
ing this matter at the present time.
the SENTINEL trusts that Whatever
may be advanced to solve
this problem that equal justice will
be done to ell, and in that event no
county will have any real grievance.

The SENTINEL has received from
Secretary of State Howell a twenty
page pamphlet containing the official
vote of the State of Nevada by coun-
ties. in the last election.
1t contains in tabulated form
the vote cast for each of the candi-
dates on the State ticket, and also
the vote on the Legislative tickets in
every county in the State. For some
unexplained reason the vote of Eu-
reka county is not complete, and the
result is that this county is not given
credit for the full number Of votes
cast for Assenblymsn. With this
exception the pamphlet appears to be
correct, and will prove a valuable
book of reference for future cam
paigns.

POWERS OF COUNTY COMMHs-
sIONEns In q RECOUNT.

At Phoebe last week Judge Talbot
in the District Court decided the
election contest cases OF W. J. Doc
ley vs.. Il. E. Prudential for the
State Senatorship, and Phil Smith
vs.. Jake johnson for the Office of
Sheriff. The questions involved in
these cases have been brought mp
and discussed many times since cleo
ton in different communities
throughout the State. and the decis-
ion ON these points by Q court OF
competent jurisdiction will be read
with interest.
On the face of the returns Messrs.
Dooley and Smith had maiorities OF
less than ten, and acting under the
provision of the State Law. their OPP
ponents asked for q recount, with
the result that Messrs Prudential
and johnson we're shown to have
been elected by small msjorities.
Briefly stated, the relators con-
tended that in q recount the County
Commissioners acted only as q canvas
sing board and that they had no right
to recount the ballots; that their
proceedings in so doing were void
that Section 2116 of the Compiled
Laws of Nevada was unconstitutional
and, if not. was repealed by the en-
action of the General Election law.
The Court decided that Section
'2116 is still in force, and that the
County Commissioners, acting as 9
reviewing board. had full authority tc
count all ballots deemed by them tc
be lawful, without regard to whether
they had been thrown out by the In
spectors of Election or not.
As 0 result of this decision certih
Gates of election we're issued to b,
E. Prudential as Senator. and te
Jake johnson as Sheriff of Lincoln
county.

SENSATIONAL E~LOPEMESr-


A Yeung Couple Meets with sever
Rude Rebuas.
The ~time-honored sdsge that "Ths
whole world loves . lover" is honorsd
no longer, and will have 10 be revised.
At least that is the conclusion arrived
ct by . young man Of Huntington VaI-
ley, who this week made several bold
bat unsuccessful attempts TO be married,
and % . result now languishes in the
Elko county bsstile.
One day last week J. L. Clements
appeared 1t the office Of the County Clerk
Of Elko and asked for . marriage license.
but was refused on the ground that the
prospective bride was not Of legal age.
A few days later, however, he returned
armed with what ~purported TO be an
order signed by the young lady's mother
authorizing the issuance Of the licence,
and il Wa thereupon delivered to him,
after he had made affidavit that the
young lady was Of the sge OF IL, and
he himself WA 81.
The remainder. Of the story reads like
. chapter from the pages OF . dime
novel. On Sunday morning Clements
rode up to the young lsdy's home, and
while the mother, who opposed the
marriage. WAS busy with her household
duties, hssty preparations were made
for IN elopsment. The young lady
slipped out the back door, and after
assisting her to . seat in bis saddle,
Clement mounted another horse. and
they galloped away, the young man
firing his pistol into the air 10 answer tc
the calls Of the mother for them to come
back.
The young lady's brother at once
started in pursuit. and rode to Elko &c
prevent the marriage, but not finding
them there . telegram was sent to Carliu
TO arrest them if they made their ap-
psarance there. Shortly after the re-
oeipt of the telegram the runswsys ar
rived ct Carlin on the east. bound train,
and they were promptly gathered il
by Constable McAdsm. Later, however,
they eluded the officers vigilance, and
walked to Palisade, where Clements
had left his team. Here again the de-
testible telegraph intercepted them, snd
the liveryman refused to give up th'
horses. The young couple then started
on foot for Pine Valley, and late tina
night Constables Triplett Of Elko ant
Hawkins Of Palisade overlook then
about three miles out on the road. The,
were seated by . campfire, and th'
young lady had no hat or wrap o
any kind. They were taken back Il
Eiko where charges OF forgery and per-
jury were preferred against them in tn
matter Of obtaining the marriage license
Clement went to Jail in default o
81, 900 bonds, while the young lady
whose bail was fixed at $500. furnished
sureties. and returned home with he
mother.

N FOR EXPORT.

War increases the Demand For
Hsrses and Mules.
Horses ard mules-any animals need
ed for army transportation-are more
and In demand, and the prices
are moving upward, says Farm, Field
and Fireside. Purchases are being
made for the British army.
Aside from this, 1t is apparent that
our export trade in horses has increas-
ed. a. dozen or SO. years ago5there was
almost no export trade Of this kind.
In January Of last year the total foot
ed up $4,000, while for January, 1906,
our exports of horses reached total
value of $634,O0O,s an astonishing In
crease. 1t is estimated that the trade
of the present year may reach $4,000.
it was supposed at first that the en-
larged export OF horses had naturally
grown out of the fact Of the exceeding
~ low prices to which horses had come
In this country. While this may have
given a start upward, 1t hardly ac-
counts for the continued demand and
the well sustained prices.
The ultimate fact is that there is an
immenselyincreased demand for horses
for the British army, and they have no
other place to meet It except in our
market. At about the same time there
comes q greatly increased demand for
our own war, and horse dealers and
horse breeders are reaping the benefts..
Under the low figure for many years
our horse and mule raisers had been
going out OF the business and greatly
diminishing the product. It will take
time to get back even to the old capac-
ify Of production. VIZ may safely
count on good prices and q sustained
export trade for a year or two at least.
