Judge Curler Scores Williams.
s. II. THOMAS.

In the case of w. c. Williams, a
prominent Washoe county mine own
err, charged with assault with intent to
kill, the jury brought in verdict of
mot guilty" In disposing of the case,
Judge Curler said:
1.-The jury in the case just dismissed
against you, Mr.. Williams, might have
had reasonable doubt and undoubted-
ly did have such doubt, but in my
opinion there is no doubt but that you
intended to kill In this community
man is convicted for selling whiskey TO
Indians, on the testimony ofan Indian,
which is correct. A man stealing
pair of shoes is arrested, and in nine
out of ten cases is convicted of bur-
glary and sent to the penitentiary for
from one to ten years, but if a man
kills another in cold blood or deliber-
ately or premeditately commits an as
sault with intent TO kill, in more than
nine out of ten cases is acquitted. 1t
seems to me that the jurors of this
county are putting premium on hon.
icide. The community will reap
holocaustive crime that will shock it to
the foundation unless conditions
change. Mr.. Williams you should con-
slider yourself the most fortunate man
that ever walked out of the courtroom
for, had the jury brought in verdict
of guilty, should have given you the
full limit of the law fourteen years.
hope that this will be lesson to you
and teach you to settle your difficult
ties with your neighbors in legal
manner and not by taking the law in
YOUR own hands,

Seasonable Thoughts.

1.-The pleasantest things in the world
are pleasant thoughts and the great
art in life is to have as many of them
as possible" There is whole sermon
in the above sentence for some people
who are wont to brood over and treas
IRE bad thoughts, to the exclusion of
other and better things. whether it be
from force of habit or for purposes of
revenge. A famous author once said,
'He that studieth revenge keepeth his
own wounds green" and he was dead
on to the truth.
Apropos of this thought it may be
we'll to quote the following lines writ
ten many years ago by Alice Cary:
30 not look for wrong and evil
You will find them if you do;
As you measure for your neighbor
He will measure back to you.
Look for goodness look for gladness
You will meet them all the while;
If you bring smiling visage
To the glass, you meet a SMILE"
To be sure, this is an age of CAB, and
not a few people furnish renewed
proofs daily that they were born into
the world neither too early nor too
late. But it may be truly said that
many a revengeful and prying mortal,
bent on the destruction of the charac-
ter of a fellow being, has wished after
the returns were all in that he had
collided with a comit or hired some
body to drop four-story brick block
upon him before he started in.

have been waiting many years for the
settlement oftheir accounts. A num-

The BrownloW Bill.

| There is a bill introduced in Con-
gress by the Hon. Walter p. Brown
low of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob
Fl. Gallinger, member of the Senate
from New Hampshire, appropriating
S24, oo0,0 900 on the part of the National
Government as National aid in build
ing wagon roads. This money is to be
apportioned among the States accord
ing to their population, except that no
State shall receive less than s25O,000.
Each State receiving National aid
from the Government must add like
amount to the sum received. This
will. therefore, cause the spending of
S4s, 100000 Tor roads and will build
from 5000 to 1000 miles of splendid
road and will place in each State from
100 to 500 miles of fine hard road,
which will not be affected by frost or
spring rains and on which the farmer
can haul the year round. 1t will be a
great advantage to those living near
it, but it will be far greater advan-
tage to the whole country because it
will be a wonderful object lesson and
will prove to everyone that a good,
hard road which can be used the year
round, no matter what the rains are,
is good and desirable thing; it will
make everyone who sees this road and
uses it want more roads just like it,
and it will cause more roads just like
it to be built.
1t seems TO many farmers that it is
time for the National Government to
aid them, and they hope the bill will
become law

Specimen Quartz.

Dan Sherry has located a quartz
claim near Smith Valley from which
he is getting some rich and beautiful
specimens. The quartz is pure white
and ribbons of pure gold run through
it and grains as large as wheat kernels
stick out from it, This kind of ore
will go several thousand dollars to the
ton. He has assays from lower grade
quality of ore which give returns of
from $500 to 500 per ton. The ledge
is small one, but Mr. Sherry is doing
some work on the property to see
if he cannot open up larger body OF
lower grade ore.-Lyon Co. Times.
