ARRESTED FOR ARSON.
Three Boys Charged With Setting Fire to the
ScfoOlhouse.

The three boys suspected by the au-
thorities of having set fire to the school,
house were arrested last night on a war
rant sworn out by order of the board of
school trustees, charging them with
arson. and are now being held for exam
ination. They are Roger Rutherford,
Harold Aldrich and Leo Warren. The
time for their preliminary examination
has not been set and they have not yet
divulged any particulars of their act.
When questioned singly they have made
some admissions, but each attempts to
incriminate the others and excuse him
self. one story they tell is that they pro-
house with the intention of setting fire
70 It. but finding a man in the yard they
left the oil can near the fence and went
away, leaving the unknown man to start
the fire. This, of course, is a very fishy
story, but nothing definite in the way of
a confession can be gained from them as
YET.
They are now in a very serious position.
having already admitted enough to con-
meet them with the attempted arson and
they are all of sufficient age to be liable
to punishment in case they are convicted.
The penalty in such q case is imprison-
ment for from one to ten years in the
penitentiary, and the age at which a
child becomes responsible or punishable
for a crime under the Nevada statutes
is fourteen years.

Candidate for Sheriff.

Charles w. McDeid today announces
himself as a candidate before the Demo-
cratic county convention for reelection
TO the Office of Sheriff of Humboldt
county. Mr.. McDeid has served this
county In the capacity of Sheriff con-
%tinuously since 1896 and his administration
OF the office has been in every way salts
factory and praiseworthy, while his large
experience and wide acquaintance fit him
admirably for the place. He is an old
line Democrat and has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket since 1872, and he says the
only reason he didn't vote 1t before that
Is that he was forcibly restrained from
doing so on account of his extreme youth.
He hopes TO retain his Office for another
term, and his record is his best recon-
mendation to the voters of his county.
