REMODEL THE CODE
"Citizen" Writes a Pertinent
Letter on Jurisprudence

Editor Silver State:-I notice your very
9th, in regard to murderers. I agree with
you that the whole criminal Jurisprudence
should b. corrected. / can see no reason
why nine men should not find a verdict
in a murder case as well as in a civil
suit. Then our present practice shuts
out all bright, competent men from jury
duty, apparently. But beyond all that is
the tone or code of morals practiced by
lawyers in their profession. heard at
least two reputable lawyers say before
the Welch case was tried that IL appoint
ed by the court to defend the accused
that they would take advantage of any
technicality or errors to clear them How
long would a business man last who con-
Quoted his business on that basis? Pos
sibly l have not the legal mind" but it
looks to meas a common citizezn-that
such a code only belongs to the shysters
of police court.
Then look at the law and the practice
In regard to ATTEMPTED murder That
is scarcely looked upon a crime, ap-
parently. am not able to see why It
should not be punished as murder where
the evidence shows that murder was In
tended. The practice is wrong. 1t will
be righted some time. possibly. but / fear
'tis one of the grists that has gone to the
mills of the gods-and they grind so
slowly. CITIZEN.

OLD FREIGHTER DEAD.

George Elder, one of the famous stage
drivers and freighters in the early days
of Nevada, is dead at the county hospital
at Hawthorne after a lingering illness.
He was past so years of age, and though
at one time a wealthy man, with many
fine mule teams and q thriving business
he died In poverty. He was we'll known
to all old timers in Nevada. Back in the
early sixties he drove teams between
Franktown. Washoe and Virginia, and
later, during the Bodie excitement, had
one of the largest outfits that was ever
seen in the State.
The name of George Elder was as prom
inent before the people of Nevada in the
Co and early 70s as that of any man who
has made his home In Nevada He was
rich and influential. For him to die In
county hospital charge on any county
but shows how cold the world is to a
man who is down. In the early days
George Elders name on a check made 1t
worth whatever it called for. anywhere
from 81 to 100000. In the death of Mr.
Elder the old saw of "the last shall be
first and the first last" has been again
illustrated.

A WONDERFUL COUNTRY
Clark Road Opening Riches that
Have Long Lain Idle

Although it was remarked when the
Clark road was first thought of that
much of the local territory was practical
ly but desert and all the traffic would
come through shipments yet slowly but
surely the new company is developing
traffic and the line to Las Vegas, prior
to the gap being filled, Is showing up
splendidly with fair return to the own
ers. This is due to the wonderful mineral
development in Lincoln county. and the
great number of prospectors going into
that region.
A well-eQuipped and regular stage line
will PROBABLY be established between Las
Vegas and Bullfrog in the Tonopah
country.
With the growth of the stage line
traffic the company will, If it is found
necessary, put on a regular passenger to
Las Vegas, but at present the freight
below Caliente takes a coach each day
and within a short time through trims
may be running which will satisfactorily
meet all conditions.

count of an order to the effect that teach

Jeffrles Retires.

Chicago J. Jeffries. cham
pion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, has retired. Disease accom-
plished what no human being was
ever able to do A combination of
rheumatism and malaria fever has put
the pugilist out of the fighting game
for all time, according to an an
nouncement made by Jenries, who
has cancelled all his theatrical engage
ments and started for California in
an effort to regain his health. Jeffries
is going to Lo, Angeles, where he in
tends to build a home. In the future
it is his intention to devote his time
to several valuable mining claims he
and one of his brothers possess in
Arizona.
Before leaving for the Pacific coast
Jeffries said:
Thank God, | am through with box
ing. have suffered more pain during
the last few days than in all my fights
put together Understand, am not
physically down and out. simply full
of malaria and rheumatism, but | have
decided to retire from the prize ring.
l have two reasons for taking this
course. My present physical condition
is one, and the other is because there
seems to be no one in sight to meet
me capable of giving the public a run
for its money"
Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager,
and who practically brought Jim Cor
bett to the front, will retire from the
pugilistic field along with the cham
piOn.
