TERMS.
A Double Release.

The News, a day or two ago, con-
tanned an account of the pardon Of
j.. B. Fuller, sent to the prison
from Austin for seven years and
who was pardoned after serving
ten months. 1t has been asserted
thst he was railroading into con-
&nenent. At the same time he
was sent to prison his wife was
committed to the insane asylum,
and Fuller no more than gained his
own liberty than he began trying
to secure that of his wife.
DR.. Patterson, superintendent of
the asylum, writes that the lady has
shown no symptoms of insanity
since her confinement in the in
stitution, and yesterday she was
discharged from the institution,
upon request of Attorney Roberts
and husband and wife were united
again.
The case appears as though it
Justified investigation by some
higher authority than exists in
Lander county. If the husband
was actually railroad into the State
Prison. it is not impossible that the
wife was railroaded into the asylum
Certainly it will do no harm to in
westigate and If, as alleged, Mfr.
Fuller and his wife have been
wrongfully branded, one with the
term in the penitentiary and the
other in the asylum there should
be such a shaking up that will be
remembered as long as Nevada is
q State.-Carson News.
Attorney Roberts has had his
hands full for the past two days.
He put in more than his share of
time on the case of Z. b. Fuller,
who was released from the prison
yesterday, having been pardoned
by the Board the day before.
After his realease Roberts put in
his time working TO have Mrs.
Fuller discharged from the asylum
where she has been confined since
early in the year. A letter from
DR.. Patterson stated that the pa
tient had shown no signs of insan-
ity since being committed and upon
authority Of the proper persons
she would be released. The order
was made yesterday afternoon and
she was discharged. She will ar
rive in this city to-day where she
will meet her husband. The two
have had more than their share of
trouble for the past year the meet
ing viii be one of more than pass
ing interest to the two. The attor-
ney in the case seems to be about
as highly delighted as the interes-
ted parties

Shoot the Dog.

The Kansas City Court of APP
peals has settled the question of
the right to protect ones home
against dogs. The murder" of
an English foXhound of the value
of $50 was the cause of Il long
opinion by the court of appeals
for the Western district of Mis-
souri,, in which the court gives
some valuable suggestions on dogs
and their rights in the community.
W. |. Fisher, who lives in Vernon
county, owned II valuable English
foXhound. One night A. II.
Badger, whc lived on a nearby
farm, was aroused by his wife.
She informed her husband that
something was in the house. y
Badger arose stcalthily, took his
shotgun and slipped out of the
house. just then the foXhound
jumped through the screen door
of the kitchen. Badgar fired.
The dog was killed. Fisher
brought suit for the value of the
dog, and the lower court awarded
him $40. The court of appralS
reverses the verdict, Judge Broad
dus saying i'll his opinion:
"lt would be illogical to hold
that Il man cannot defend his
home from the intrusion or dcprc-
dations of dogs. 1t is said that
every mans dwelling is his castle;
that even the king can not enter if
forbidden. If the king can not
enter against the owners consent.
his dog can not enter. What is
the owner to do when he has Sc
cured his door and finds on awak-
ing in the night time that it has
been forced and entered by II
thicving dog and his property
stolen or destroyed We hold that
Il thlcving dog is rs much Il com
mon nuisance as Il sheep killing
| dog and aS such is not entitled to thc
protection of the law, except TO
kill him"

THE ALTON HERO.
But People care Apparent
ly Blind to Sterling
WORTH"

Says the Kansas City Journal;
\ man who met death untlinch-
ingly, and at the post of duty, was
IL. Keller, the Chicago 4 Alton
engineer, who was killed in the
wreck near Mexico, Mo-, Wcdncs-
day afternoon. Railroad men
were yesterday discussing with
pride and glowing praise the man
ncr in which Keller stayed with
his engine in the face of certain
death. When the body was re
moved it was found that his left
hand was claspcd tightly around
the air brake valve, showing that
the dead mans last act was his
effort to stop the train and save
the lives of others. In this he
succeeded, but gave up his own.
"Pcoplc read in the newspapers
about a great battle, in which
some officer or man has faced
death, and declare that he is II
hero remarked travelling man
in the lobby of the Midland hotel
yesterday afternoon, after reading
an account of the wreck, "but they
pay little attention, aS rule, to
the act of bravery in Il wreck
Every time an engineer lays down
his life to save those of the pcO-
pie riding behind him, he is ten
times the hero of the man who
dies on the battlefield, and who is
fighting on the glory which is sure
to come To him if he survives. The
brave engineer is not laudcd if he
happens to save Il hundred lives
aud escapes with his own. The
best he gets is rigid examination
from officials, who, instead OF
speaking words of praise to him,
make every effort 20 iiX the blam,
on him. That man Keller is q
dead hero, who goes to his gray,
unsung. People are gilt-hraid ant

These observations by the Mobcr
erly Democrat: What is to be
done to keep the boys longer in
school! 1t is il serious problem
that must be met. Too much
money is being spent on the public
school system not to get full bene-
fit of expenditure. The graduating
class of 1902 in this city contained
four boys and twenty girls The
proportion of boys and girls should
be equal. The mate disposition OF
American boys to make money and
be independent is the cause of THEN
so early dropping out of schooI
life. \ first-class high schooI
course at least should be the por-
ton of everp boy. This can al
ways be acquired at the age of
eighteen years if proper applica'
ton has been insisted upon by
parents and teachers. This is a,
early as a boy should commence
active business life or be compell
ed to perform days labor continu
ously. If this We're the rule, lonl
er lived, better developed in mine
and body, and better prepared t.
enjoy all there is in this life, woulC
be the American citizens.
