PROUD OF ITS BUNkO MEN

The Grand Jury of Bell county has
refused to indict a man who has
sWlndled the Santa Fe road ont of
$4,000 because of the antagonistio
feeling against the railroad in that
county. The grand jury voices the
sentiment of the people of that sec
ton when it intimates that it glories

Frederick P. Miller, who was known
as a cotton buyer secured a bill Of
ladlnS from the agent of the Santa
Fe at Bolton for 1900 bales of cotton
he did not deliver. The bill of ladiny
was negotiated at the bank and $75,-
600 paid. The company had to make
good the loss and the case was pre-
sented to the grand jury after Meller
had been located in New York. The
man cannot be prosecuted in any
other county in Texas under the state
law.

WANT TO BECOME NEVADANS

The counties Of Inyo, Mono and AL
pine in California, have petitioned
the California legislature to be set
over into Nevada. 1t is hardly prob
able that the legislature will grant
such a measure at this session, but
that portion of California will some
day, without doubt, belong to Nevada
The natural condition of things ,le-
mand it, All three of the above nam
ei counties are mining territory and
the geography of the situation would
place them with Nevada. Further
more, those couties are remote from
the business centers of California, and
whenever the people have business in
San Francisco or Sacramento they
have to travel a roundabout way
through Nevada to reach their point
Of business. Under the present stu
alton none of the promising mining
properties in that section of California
embraced in the section mentioned. is
receiving due recognition. Were they
in Nevada, to which the eyes of all
capital is turned, as the greatest min
ing state in the Union, there would
be great things doing in some of the
camps in Alpine, Mono and Inyo.
The people of these counties, we
understand, are a unit for annexation
to Nevada. When such a condition
exists the relief asked for cannot long
be withheld.
Nevada will extend a welcome hand
to the Californians who are desirous
of becoming Nevadans at any and all
tmes.-Lyon County Times.

ARMS AND MMUNiTlON BEING
RUSHED IN ST AUTOS FROM
ALL OVER THE DESERT

GOLDFIELD, Marcn 14-There
probably never was a time when any
mining camp had its citizens so uni
Versally armed as here. Some days
ago every weapon On sale in the town
had been bought at a premium and
every box of cartridges also. Staid
citizens who never carried sun in
their lives got the fever and they ali
carry arms like the rest.
Ihe city has been on The edge of q
volcano for several days and an out
break expected at any time. There IS
hardly a woman in town who has,
not pistol tucked away somewhere
ana if there is a knock at the door
or any unusual noise she gets the
weapon out first before answering the

There is a determination here on
the part Of the law and order element
which predOminates, to take no back
sep when dealing with the lawless
element of the l. w. W., and if they
percipitate trouble it will be met wit
aggressive force. If they insist on
trouble with arms they will get it
good and hard and there is not a
citizen who has the welfare of the
town at heart who will shirk his
duty.
Diamondfield Jack Davis has been
securing the country with his auto
bringing in arms and ammunition
from all sorts Of places.
He has been in telephone communi-
cation with other camps and when
he hits the wire for somebody to
meet his auto or his man at some
point on the desert with the goods
he slides out of town and finding the

back with him.

III the same way and they are COM

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
The Firing on Citizens Practiced in
Goldfield

The Tribune thus describes the al
tempted assassination of Monday
last:
\ wild scene ensued on the corner
OF the alley just back of the Nixon
bank at about 1890 o'clock last night,
when one OF the agitator element took
a nying shot out of the dark alley at
either John S. Cook or 'Diamondfield
jack Davis, who were standing on
the corner where the alley joins the
main street. That no one was hurt
gun is a wonder, as several people
were close to the scene.
"Diamondfield Jack is one of the
leaders Of the determined men Of this
city who are taking every precatution
to prevent violence in the present
tempeStuOuS times. He was acting as
guard about the intersection of the
alley behind the bank and the main
street, and was standing at the cor
ner when John S. Cook crossed the
alley passing along the street. just
as Cook was in the middle Of the
alley a shot rang out from the dark
little passage and the bullet whistled
up the street, passing between Cook
and Davis. Jack whirled about on
the instant and pumped two shots
into the alley in hopes Of winging the
assassin, though he could see nothing
Then the crowd rush into the alley
to find the man, but no trace of him
could b discovered,
1t is not known whether the shot
was fired at Cook or at Davis, but it
was narrow escape for both men. If
the man who fired it had been caught
summary vengeance would have been
executed, as the respectable element
does not intend to trife with that
sort of thing. The viligance of the
citizen patrol of the city was re-
doubled after the shooting

Building of the Erie Canal.

William c. Brown, senior vice.

lines, gave the following interesting
bit of history at recent banquet OF
the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce:
The founders of our government
wisely recognized the fact that dis
tant colonies must be brought in
closer touch by better means of
transportation, or the experiment Of
self-government would be OF short
duration.
Washington and Jefferson pro-
jected and began the construction of
the great national turnpike from
Washington and Baltimore to the
Mississippi valley.
Early in the eos the cost OF trans
porting freight from Buffalo to
Albany, the head of navigation of
the Hudson river, was from 800 to
$112 per ton.
Grain and produce raised in west
ern New York. Ohio and other states
west OF the Allegheny mountains,
which could not find an outlet by
water, were almost worthless for
want of market.
The state of New York undertook
to build waterway which should
connect the waters of Lake Erie and
the Hudson, thus establishing a cor-
tinuous line of water transportation
from the Greet Lakes and the empire
lying along their shores 10 tide
water at New York city-then, as
now, the commercial metropolis Cf
the new world.
At cost of more than $1,000, 900,
the great work was finished and at
10 O'Clock on the morning of October
26, 1925, the packet Senaca Chief,
leading a fotilla OF canal-boats,
started on the first TRIP through the
canal Governor Dewitt
Clinton, Lieutenant Governor Gen.
eral James Tallmadge, General
stephen Van Rensselaer,, Colonial
L. Stone and other dis
visitors were passengers
on that initial journey.
As the fiotilla started into the
canal at Buffalo a cannon was fred,
and this report was caught up and
repeatd by other cannon placed at
intervals of eight miles along the
bank of the canal and of the Hudson. |
and at precisely 1920 o'clock the |
last cannon. located at Sandy Hook,
was fired, which was followed by a
