ed and unmittgated brutality Of the de-
liberate murder committed almost I'M
der the very shadow of the courthouse
cupola last night. The victim was not
a man Of good repute, it is true, but at
the moment OF his death he was In the
act OF performing noble and gener-
GUS action, which showed that he might
have become If he lived good and
law fearing citizen. In brief, he went
to forgive his enemy and was stretch
ing forth the hand of fellowship when
that enemy shot him down. Not half
an hour before his death Cory had re-
peated within the hearing of dozen
men what he had been saying all day,
as many can testify: I want to find
my old friend Fear and shake hands
with him. want to tell him that /
forgive him and that am ashamed Of
whatever has been my part In the
trouble between u.s. He went with
that intention to his death. The wife
Of the murderer has confessed that
tllis was the substance Of what he said
to her and that she was convinced Of
his peaceful intentions.
"When they reached the room where
her husband was waiting for her Cory
entered first. The woman claims now
that as they neared the vicinity he
fastened forward at pace which she
could not equal. Naturally her testi-
mony on all points favoring her hus-
band is practically worthless. She fol-
lowed and heard the murdered man
speak, though what his words were she
declares she does not know, and Of
course the murderer, after consultation
with his lawyer, claims that their ma
ture was threatening. Such a state
ment in determining the truth is worse
than valueless. It Is known and readi-
~ proved that Fear repeatedly threat
ened the deeeased's life yesterday, and

HAPPINESS DEFERRED.

When Happiness, vision bright,
Holds out her hands, to my delight,
Bids me embrace her close and warm
AS though hers were a human form,
Must | renounce, disdain her smile
Ignore her presence as sinful vile
And turn to darker future years
Whose portion is unending tears?
Must | refuse to ease my heart,
To fOrego peace and live apart
From her abode?
When happiness, with radiant face
Entreats me come to her embrace
Why must | not? What is the fate
That haunts my footsteps early, late,
That binds me to joyless life,
A mere existence fraught with strife
Why must | wander in the dark,
No light to guide, no one to mark
The path with me; no one to share
My solitude and lonely care
My weary load?
When Happiness smiles through her
tears,
She promises, in after years
That | may walk with her in peace
That joy attained will never cease.
So with Hopes light my only beacon
cannot falter, cannot weaken,
But tread the stony path alone
Suppressing ever, sigh and groan;
Until at last rewards will bless
And will walk with Happiness
Ger all life's road!

AND THE PANIC.

Regardless of the many traits OF
character which are possessed by
John D. Rockefeller, which make him
detestable to thousands, and which
make him the constant subject of
lampoons and caricatures he did
something in New York the other
day which is truly commendable.
Put aside for a moment the mo-
tives which prompted him to deposit
s1O,000,000 of real money with a
great trust company to be used in
aiding weaker trust companies to
weather the wild storm which swept
the money center and consider the
effect of that action.
Thousands of men and women were
clamoring for their money. Bankers
sat in their offices with the sweat of
fear standing on their brows. Ruin
clamored at their doors, and there is
reason to believe that many of the
bankers believed they could see the
gates of the prison opening before
them.
An appeal was made to Rockefel-
Ter. There was hesitation on his part.
He thought of the fine that had been
imposed upon his company for vio-
lation of the law. Then he may
have thought of the effect of the de-
posting of few paltry millions in
the Golfers of these trust companies.
He did not hesitate for long, but
loaned $1O,0OO,OOO to relieve the
strain.
This had the desired effect. The
storm was quoted for the moment
Depositors felt a little more conf
| dence. Bankers could draw a breath
| of relief. John ID. Rockefeller ha(
| done something which would make
| him deserving of credit.
John D. Rockefeller's motives ma.
have been fear, or they may hav'
been philantEropic. 1t matters no
which motive prompted him, he aid
ed in saving the day.

THE MINER AND THE FOREST

In the Nevada federal courts an
interesting case is in progress, to de-
national forests. In this case it APP
pears a man entered the property of
mining company and cut wood for
domestic use, claiming, however,
first to have obtained permission of
the forest ranger. Whether the for
est official gave the man a permit to
cut wood on legally subsisting min
ing claim belonging to another, we
do not know, but the probability is
that the federal court will now define
more clearly the rights of miners in
forest reserves.
The forest reserve is an excellent
branch of the government service and
a few years later the vast benefit de-
rived from its operation will be more
fully realized than now Miners
have rights, however, even in the for
est reserve, and we do not believe the
forest rangers nor any other official
of the forestry service has any right
to grant permit to anyone, other
than the owner, 10 cut timber or fuel
on mining claim that has a present
legal existence. If such be the case
the sooner the exercise of such au-
thority be ended the better for all
concerned. Mining Review.

The Miller & Lux water case came
up in the federal court at Carson
last week. Miller & Lux have
brought legal proceedings against
1913 farmers of Smith valley, Lyon
county, in regard to water rights on
the Walker river whereby the COM
pany is trying to force the farmers to
surrender their rights to water in
that river. The farmers also have
good claims, and the matter is now
being compromised. The case will
soon be settled to the satisfaction of
all. Professor Thurtell who was for
merly state engineer, submitted his
findings in these water rights and the
court has accepted them as evidence.
But for the interference of one of
the professors, Joe" Redman, a
third prep" at the university, would
probably have been treated to a bath
in the chilly waters of the university
pond because he had not thought
enough of his future Alma Mater to
turn out with the rest of the stu
dents in the usual display of college
spirit. Redman entered the univer-
sity this year from the Reno high
schOoi, and according to the state
ments of upper classmen at the col
lege has constantly refused to join in
giving the yells of the college and to
show up when the yell leader would
call practice night. They also claim
that he has conducted himself at diff
ferent times in a manner that was not
warranted by his station and rank in
the college.
