RUM0RS OF HOTEL IN
GROvES-M|LLER BLOCK

There is considerable speculation as
to what use will be made of the sec.
ond and third floors OF the new
Groves. Miller block on Wenathee ave.
nue. south. MIR. Groves states that no
definite.plans nave been made but it is
confidently stated by others that they
will be fitted up for a hotel. The
building, which will occupy ground
sraoe of 100xl20 feet would furnish
ample room for o hotel in the upper
stories and it is admirably situated for
this purpose. 1t is believed that the
matter hinges only on obtaining q
suitable tenant. Messrs. Groves and
Miller have taken an option on the
two corner lots adjoining the proposed
building for $500 and if suitable ten
ants an be obtained for the store rooms
the building will be extended to the
corner giving frontage of $50 feet on
Wenatchee avenue and providing five
excellent store rooms. The Eagle Trans.
fer company has force Of twenty men
at work excavating for the basement
and will easily complete the wors

GARDNERVTDLE, New, Dec. H.
Three petitions have been presented to
the board of county commissioners ask
ing that the new county high school be
located in G%ardnerville and not in Ge-
noa, an old mining city of this state
The people of this portion of the
county claim that there are more chill
dren in this town and in the ~neighbor-
hood of this place than there are in
the neighborhood of Genoa and that
Gardnerville is the proper location for
the school building. If the petitions are
not considered by the board, which has
passed a resolution to place the build
ing at Genoa, an injunction will be ask
ed for to prevent the commissioner
from carrying out their plans.

CHARGE CRUELTY In CATTLE
SHIPPING

RENO, Dec. 20.-Dying on the train
by which they were shipped here
twenty-five cars of cattle consigned to
the Humphrey-Sparks Company at Re
no were unloaded yesterday, and five
head were found to be dead. The
beeves lay PROSTATE on the floor Of the
cars which were taken to the west end
81 the city during the day, and there
they refused food or drink, expiring
one by one. 1t is rumored during tn,
evening that a warrant would be issuos
by District Attorney Moran for the ar
rest of the consignee, but this is de
MED by the parties concerned. They
claim that cruelty is not involved in
the cas-.
The cattle were received here early
Tuesday morning, and unloaded before
daylight The Humane Society will fin
ish the investigation of the case, which
was begun yesterday.
A member of the society stated last
night that a federal statute provides
that all livestock in transit must be
fed and watered and exercised out of
the cars every twenty-eight hours. 1t
is claimed by some that the cattle
which are dead were not treated in
accordance with this law.

HARRINGTON rs APPOINTED TC
FEDERAL BENCH.

The guessing is over, and E. s. Far
rington has been appointed by Presi-
lent Roosevelt, to assume the duties
Of the United States district iudg-
ship, made vacant several months
ago by the resignation of Judge T. p
Hawley. Judge Harrington will take
the oath of office at once. He will
reside in Carson City.
Judge harrington has resided ia
Nevada since 1880, when, as a young
man of twenty-four years of age
fresh from Amhert College and
Hastings College of the Law, Univer-
sity of California, he came to live in
Elko county. There he was a school
teacher for sew ra- ter ms. at lengib
forming a part telship tn Judl 5
Talbot in the ira etice Of The la1f
which partnership was terminated IL
1886.
1t is not likely that such a political
plum as the United States district
judgeship would go to anybody but a
Republican under a Republican natl
onal administration. Judge Earring
ton is in fact a member of the party.
He was twice its candidate for con
gross from this state, but was defeat
ed on both occasions.
The new appointee is married and
a prominent member Of the hide
pendent Order of Odd Fellows. He
was born in California in 1856.

RUN OVER AND KILLED AT RENO

Because the Southern Pacific has not

This il the second accident to happen

Each of these accidents was caused

MUST DIE ON THE GALLoWs.

HAWTHORNE, New, Dec. 20.-Jno.
Thompson, who has been on trial be-
fore Judge Murphy in the district
court here for the past week on a
charge of killing John Morritz, a mes
senger boy at Goldfeld, on September
IS, 1906, has been found guilty and
sentenced by Judge Murphy to be
hanged for his crime. Thompson has
been placed in the death cell and will
be kept under close guard until his
execution.
Thompson is a gambler and worth
nearly $4,000. He employed able
lawyers to defend him at the trial and
put up a strong fight for his liberty
but the evidence against him was con
demning and ne was found guilty after
a short deliberation by the jury.
Accordilgto the testimony adduced
at the trial, Thompson deliberately
short Moritz, the messenger boy, in
front of the Northern saloon in Gold
field, and then laughed about it.
1t is stated that after he had fired
a shot, which fatally wounded the boy
Thompson stood over hin and fired
another shot into his body as he lay
on the sidewalk at his feet.
Thompson was defended by Senator
II. v. Moorehouse and G. G. Thompson
of the firm of Thompson, Moorehouse
& Thompson, of this city, but the evi
dence introduced by District Attorney
Douglas and his assistant, w. j. Hen
ley, placed their arguments of self de
Tense at naught in the minds of tbs
jurors.
The defense eontended that Morit7
dismounted from his bicycle on meet
ing Thompson after a certain difficulty
had arose over Moritz running int
Thompson and a friend on his whee
the same night, and that Moritz de
liberately advanced toward Thompson
with his right hand drawn back be
hind him 10 his hip pocket in a threat
ening manner, thus giving Thompson
TO suppose that Moritz intended to
shoot.
There were three eye-witnesses fol
the state who saw the shooting, but
none for the defense.
w. J. Henley opened the state y case.
and in his argument made an impas
stoned attack on Thompson, denounc
ing the shooting of Moritz as the most
cold blooded murder for which any
criminal had ever been tried in tn I
country.

Judge Beer By
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
It Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published a num-
Der OF articles on the food value OF
beer, and we believe that sooner or
later beer will be recognized at It's true
tonic effect and high n~ourishing value.
Noted men and women of this country
are already alive to the situation and
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DR..
Joseph Feisler of Northwestern Uni
versity, many others of note give their
endorsement to beer as a means to ma
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for a quarter of a cen.
fury the most eminent woman suf-
frage advocate in the West. aid in a
recent interview: There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women's
Christian Temperance Union to do is
to aid in the substitution of mild,
nns fishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produces drunkenness. A promi-
nent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, who
found beer satisfying their demands.
that he actually ran all the low dives
OF the surrounding neighborhood out
of business"
Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for a mild. hea1thful, refreshing bever-
age such as Miss Cousins suggests. 1t
is made of the exclusive Pabst eight
day malt, choicest hops and pure
water. Eight-day malt, which is the
only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer
its superior food value and richness.
Strong in nourishment the body re-
quires, 1t is refreshing and satisfying.
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent of alcohol,
Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is so healthful.
