Most Shocking Story of STAN
ford Whites Villdiny and
Crime to Her.
COULD SCARCELY GIVE
TESTIMONY FOR TEARS
After Two Hours Recess Was TAX
en- Till This Afternoon
by Court.

New York, Feb. Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw was the first witness to-
day in the Thaw murder trial. She
told of the dinner at Cafe Martin, the
evening of June 20, with her husband
and Thomas McCaleb and Truxton
Beale. While there she saw Stanford
White enter. She told of writing a
note to Thaw, but when Delmas asked
its contents Jerome objected upon the
ground that the note itself was the
best evidence. After they left the
restaurant the party went to the
Madison Square roof garden. Thaw
left her with others for about fifteen
minutes and then returned and re-
manned by her side for about half an
hour. There was nothing unusual in
Thaws manner and the conversation
was general. The play did not inter-
est her and she suggested that they
depart
The account of the shooting which
followed, given by this witness, was
similar to that already developed
Questioned in regard to her mar
riage with Thaw, the witness stated
that Thaw proposed to her in June,
1908, in Paris, and at that time
she refused him because of the Incl
dent in her life connected with STAN
ford White.
White and the Mirrored Bedroom.
Mrs. Thaw said she first met White
at a private luncheon in 1901 and
that later White sent her mother to
Pittsburg and then took her to one
of his studios where she dined with
him. Mrs. Thaw told her experience
with White in the mirrored bedroom
Witness said she drank only one glass
of champagne, which tasted bitter
and she then lost consciousness. When
she regained consciousness she found
herself on a bed in the mirrored bed
room. She screamed but he said:
Its all over" She sat up all night
after he had taken her home. Mrs.
Thaw broke down and cried and
could hardly proceed as she related
her experience with White. Thaw
sat with his face buried in his hand
kerchief.
Bound Her to Secrecy.
White made Mrs. Thaw promise
she would never tell her mother. He
said it was all right-that there was
nothing so nice as young girls and
nothing so loathesome as fat ones.
You must not get fat" Mrs. Thaw
SAID the erect or her story on ThaW
was terrible. He sobbed and walked
the floor, and stayed all night sitting
in the room and talking it over with
her.
White Sent Her to School.

to school in New Jersey in 1902 by
White, became i'll there and had to

stand two hours and her direct testi-
mony was not completed when recess

PEDAaoGUEs IN TANGLE
Question Has Arisen Who Has Author
to Make Course

Who has a right and authority to
arrange a course of study for the high
schools Of Nevada and select the
books to be used? is a question which
is now proving very vexing to a mum
Der of persons in the educational
world Of the state. Superintendent
Orvis Ring insists that the state board
Of education has the authority, but
many of the principals of schools say
no. Attorney General Stoddard has
been out o. the city for several weeks,
and hence his opinion on the mooted
question will not be received in time
for action to be taken before the fal
session Of school begins over the state,
and the present books in vogue will
be employed.
The majority of those opposed to
the contention of Superintendent Ring
assert that the principals of the va
rious schools have the right to select
the books and map out a course OF
study, and the state board has no au
thority in the matter. 1t appears that
the last legislature passed an act pro
viding that the state board had the
right to arrange a course of study and
select books for use in the primary
and grammar grades, but did not men
ton the high school. This forms the
basis of contention. If the state
board selects the books and a course
of study, the system throughout the
state will be uniform, otherwise not

This ponderous animal was raised
on the ranges in Elko county, came
directly from the range, and no enort
whatever had been made to feed the
animal for weight. The steer was IN
the neighborhood of five years ola
and brought the owners about $50. On
the Chicago market he would have
brought $ll5. AS far as has been
ascertained, the steer was undoubtedly
the largest ever shipped from the
state. MI. Miller, who has been
engaged in shipping cattle from al
parts of the coast for many years
says the animal is the largest he has
ever handled, and he is willing to PIT
it againt any ever produced in the

BATTLING WITH MICE

All the farmers and h~ouseholders of
this section are conniying and plan
ming against the great army of mice
that abounds in this region, says the
Wells Herald. In Clover valley the
farmers are suffering great losses from
this pest, which has destroyed, in
many instances, large amounts of
grain. Among those preparing to
give the mouse a "run for his mon
ey'' is j. J.. Schoer Mr.. Schoer was
in town Wednesday unloading a cal
of lumber with which he proposes con-
structing a mouse-proof granary. The
building will be 2sx3S feet and SO
built that no mice can enter. After
its erection the crops of grain harvest
ed by Mr.. Schoer will be stored in
bulk in bins constructed for the pur
pose and kept there until sold, when
the grain will be sacked, ready for
delivery. 1t is said that other FARM
ers in Clover valley are preparing to
follow the example set by Mr..
Schoer.
In Wells there is not a residence or
stone building that is not literally
alive with mice, and poisoned wheat,
traps and all sorts of c~ontrivances are
being called into action in a futile
effort to rid the town of the animals

THE ETERNAL FITNESS
OF EVERLASTING BOOSTING

The press generally devotes much
space to articles on the eternal fitness
Of everybody INCREASINGLY boosting
for their respective locality, and per
haps it get tiresome to many or the
readers, yet the more one studies the
methods of other sections where boost
ing has become a habit, the more there
appears to be in this system and the
more need there is shown for just such
efforts being made, says the Suffer
Farmer.
In this country, for instance, we all
know the wonderful and
possibilities within it's borders, and
what inducements are here for outside
people, and yet there is little work
being done as compared with some
other COUNTIES of the state to make
these facts known abroad.
To get what should be got out of

needed, and perhaps more local i'm

provements, to show some of our own
people what can be lone for the ben
eft of the community.
Organized boosting is getting to be
a science and our people ought to get
some of it instillod into their sys-
tens. The majority of us expect to
make this country their homes for the
balance of our days, and we should do
all we can to build it up and thus get
some things ourselves out of the pros
perity that comes with general ad-
vancement. We should work together
along these lines, quit knocking, help
each other by doing as much business
as possible at home, be loyal to our
communities, never lose an opportun-
ity of speaking a good word for our
industries, climate, soil and people
and our homes. There is no question
that we have a good country to boost
for, and every time we boost we help
ourselves. 1t pays the biggest kind.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
rs NOW BEING
HELD IN DENVER
Believe the Railroad Companies will
Grant the Increase in Wages

There is a most important meeting
going on at this writing in Denver
which means much for the western
railroads and much for the west, says
the Ogden Journal.
1t is a conference between represent
atives of the Yardmen's union and
the appeal of the switchmen for in
creased pay Should this be refused
by the roads, the greatest tie-up the
west has ever known would be the re
suit. 1t is not believed, however
that the demands of the men will be
refused, as it is generally admitted
that their cause is just.
More than a dozen lines are repre-
sented at the conference. The 9th
