An Open Letter

l have recently received a communi.
cation signed "a Young Girl" asking
why the laws of the State Of Nevada
are not more rigidly enforced in Eu-
reka, and suggesting that proper pro-
lection is not given to girls in this
town, and stating that the writer has
been grossly insulted while walking ON
the public streets. As this letter is not
properly signed so as to identify the
writer, l desire to give my answer
through the press.
The reason the peace officers do not
take stems to stop such acts as those
described IN this communication is
simply, that a peace officer has no
authority to act in any case in which
he does not see a crime committed,
without a warrant issued by the proper
authority giving him instruction to act.
/ will act promptly. as a deputy sheriff.
in any instance in which the person
wronged will make the necessary com
paint D6lOF6 INC DlstfiCt AttoAucy
and nave a warrant placed in my hands
for service. This must be done before
l have any authority in such cases.
and, while no one is more DESTROYS OF
seeing the laws justly enforced than l
am. it is impossible to do anything I'M
less those who suffer are willing to
make complaint and have a warrant is
sued.
1t is a matter of common talk that the
law is being fiagrantly violated in Flu
reka. and if those who are in a position
to make the necessary complaint will
take the matter in hand, l will guar
antee that my duty as a peace officer
will be promptly performed. and thai
without fear or favor.
Respectfully.
THOMAS DIXON. Deputy Sheriff.
Eureka, Nevada, Feb. IA. 1907.

ARCHDEACON VISITS EUREKA
Inspiring Addresses Given Before the
School and at the Church

OLmOVi anu ~ ~ 1nutth
A~rchdeacon VIM. L. Bull Of Salt
Lake City spent Tuesday and Wednes-
day Of this week in Eureka in the inter-
est Of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
He visited the schools Wednesday
morning and addressed the pupils and
teachers in general assembly for nearly
an hour in a most entertaining and in
spring manner. The lesson in his talk
was the ~desirability of a child learning
early in life to be a r lady or gentle
man. The teachers report this to have
been one Of the best and most inspiring
addresses made to the school this year.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Bull
conducted services at st. James Epis-
copal Church before a large attendance
of Eureka people. The Ash Wednes-
day services preceded the address Of
the evening. He is a very fluent and
ready speaker, fully acquainted with
the needs and affairs of every day life,
and while he devoted himself to the re-
ligious subjects selected, he brought out
plainly the necessity for every right
thinking person to apply his religion in
the up-building Of the home community
He touched upon the need OF c~leanli-
ness in politics. in social intercourse and
in private life, and clearly pointed out
that anything short of this falls below
the standard Of true Christian prin-
ciples.
Services conducted by such a man as
Mr.. Bull eau not fail to have a bene-
fetal influence upon any community.
They are worthy of the attendance Of
every citizen, whether a church men,
Der or not. He was conservative in
speech, yet every word helped to lay
the foundation for better government,
better social conditions, and higher
living.

A petition was being circulated in

facts that Eureka has always been and
is now the base of supplies for the
