Woman Being Tried for Selling Whisky
to Indians.

Mrs. j. w. McKenna Of Moapa,
Nevada, has been indicted by the
U. s. Grand Jury on charge oil
selling whisky to Indians. The
crime charged was committed in the
mushroom town along the San
Pedro road severel months ago.
The case presents several. interesting
features.
The woman in the case is middle
aged and apparently Of good in
stincts. She had conducted small
store in the town, which she started
when the railroad came to that sec
tion. The store was stocked with
ladies' goods, some small groceries
and liquors. In dispensing the en-
tire stock of trade she managed to
make living for herself and her
two children. She was doing a
good business when arrested on a
charge of selling whisky to Indians
about the camp, who were in wild
state of intoxication during the en-
tire construction work about the
railroad.
Upon her arrest she mortgaged
the store and stock in order to
secure counsel. After being indict-
ed it was necessary to sell the stock
in order to carry on the case, and
by the time she arrived in this city
she was ruined financially, and did
not even have cash enough to hire
an attorney. The court appointed
Mr. Poujsde to act for her which he
is doing with good effect.
Mr.. Poujade requested the Court
that certain W tnesses for the de-
Tense be sent for. This has been
granted. and her son and daughter
will be among the witnesses. The
prosecution will also bring witnesses
to testify in the case.
Yesterday one of her bondsm' n
withdrew and it was necessary to
secure others. Her attorney secured
the proper persons and the woman
was released last evening and is
again free for the time being. 1t is
expected that the case will be tried
in court in a few days or as soon us
she witnesses from the south can
arrive She denies the charge il
every particular and stubborn fighi
for her liberty will be maintained

NEVADA'S FUTURE.

We are we'll started on the last
half Of 1905 and before any of us
can realize it 1906 will be here.
The State is undergoing wonderful ]
development now and before the
robbins nest again Nevada will no
longer be ridiculed by the order
States, for she is fast taking the
position that should have been hers
years ago. The handful of people
who have stayed by Nevada during
the years that dark clouds lowered
over, the State, when no one outside
had kind word for her feel
justified in saying now, 81 told you
sol" .The wonderful development
that is going on in southern Nye,
the growth of Reno and Washoe
county, the encouraging prospects
in Humboldt all go to stimulate
confidence and convince the world
that it has been "going wrong" all
these years. When the Western
Pacific gets another road of steel
across the state, rights and becomes
populous and important, when every
county is developed to its fullest
Nevada will be one of the best
States in the Union. 1t is but a
qustion of a few years when new
blood will make of Nevada what
few of us have been trying to make
for the past quarter of century
Nevada has been abused at home
and abroad as no other State has
been. The men who came to ge
political honors thew could not get
elsewhere have MIXED her political
ly dry. The few men who came to
get rich and got rich, then cast us
aside as they would an old
shoe, are responsible for much of
our trouble. But now, thank God,
the scene has been shifted and
Nevada can no longer be used by a
handful of schemiug politicians and
shylocks of one kind and another.
The brave people who have made
their homes in Nevada all the years
that she was in the dumps have
been handed more gold bricks,
been blinded with more corraldust,
been fooled in seson and out until
they have learned lesson that will
not soon be forgotten.
