wounded two of his sons and was only
stopped in his wild career by bullet
from the pistol of his oldest boy.
When Grove started upon his muir
derous onslaught, the three boys and
their mother and sister sought safety
behind pile of rocks near the house.
Grove followed and opened fire with a
shotgun. dropping Milton in his tracks,

and fired at his father, the bullet pierre
ing the latter's brain.
Grove returned yesterday from a
three days spree in Carson, and, call
ing the boys in the house. from where
they were building fence. told them
that he intended to commit murder.
He then went for his gun and the
family fed.
Grove was a resident of Ormsby
County for years and well-known to
the majority of local people. He has
raised family of seven children, four
Of whom are now at home.
Grove had been working for some
time on mining property in the Lone

his pay. He was given 800 as pay for
work done by himself and son and inn.

bauch.
During his stay in Carson City he
was intoxicated a considerable portion
of the time and sat about one of the
hotel offices most of several nights.

charge of shot in the right arm and a
second in the right leg. In both places
the shot are imbedded very deep and
the attending physicians found it i'm
possible to extract them. The younger
brother received the charge in the rear
of his left leg. almost directly behind
the knee and the shot are imbedded
deep. In both cases the fear is blood
poisoning which may result from the
wounds, and the physicians are taking
every precaution to prevent it.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

Nevada Gambling and "Wash Sales"
Goldfield and Reno have entered upon
another advertising campaign, each en-
deavoring to beat the other in invent
ing the most sensational gambling
stories. One day Goldfeld puts on the
wires ON account ofa sport losing $780,
900 at one sitting. Then Reno responds
with a yarn about man placing q $1,000
bill on the figure four of roulette lay
out and wining $50, 900. To man up
q tree and "wised up" on such propo-
sitions, these stories bear a striking
resemblance to "wash sales. Ely

said:
1--WE have made appropriations
enough this session to keep the State
looking respectable for the next two
years.
I'VE have also enacted laws to re-
plenish the different funds Of the State
so as to avoid bankruptcy. We hope
II we do, go broke, it will be because
we won't get all that is coming to us.
II believe in locking the stable before
the horse is gone" That's why intro

"a State Auditor will keep the State
revenue stables filed with good stock,
and we won't lose anything to be sorry
for when the returns from the differ.
ent counties come in.
This bill will not only save the State
thousands Of dollars but it will justify
an honest official and expose a dis

grand juries meet, the State Auditor
will have the investigation all COM
pleted, aud upon his accommodation

Legislative Notes

The measure which provides that all
the moneys received for poll taxes be
used to improve the roads. was passed
in the Assembly. The State receives
half the money at the present time.
The Fellow Servant bill was passed
in the Senate and will now go the
Governor for his approval or rejection.
The measure is drawn along the lines OF
the Federal laws. AS passed it extends
the Federal laws to mine and mill
owners as well as railroads.
Loan companies doing business with
in the State will be required to post 8
bond to show that they are acting in
good faith and to protect the people
who are doing business with them.
The measure requiring this has been
signed by the Governor.

bill which was to allow the sale OF
the State Experimental farm at Reno
was being discussed. "There may not
be a grab, but ! do not know it," he
said, therefore l move that the bill be
indefinitely postponed" The motion
was carried and the farm will not be
sold for time.
The bill providing for the appropri'
ating of $25,0 900 for the purchase and
construction of a miners home in this
State was killed in the Senate. Those
who opposed the measure based then
opposition that at the present time the
State of Nevada could i'll afford such an
institution; that the appropriations al
ready totalled almost a million dollars
and that halt would have TO be call
ed. Others objected because the
measure did not provide home for al
aged and infirm persons.
The measure to allow the Superin'
tendent of Public Instruction to send
the deaf, dumb and blind of the State
to Utah if he so desires has been passed
unanimously in both Houses and sent

DR.CHANCELLOR
DEFENDS WOMEN

Capabilities.

d.. William T. Chancellor. superin-
tcnuCut OF public schools. delivered an
interesting and instructive address last
night before the Federation Of Women's
Clubs of the District of Columbia at
the Public Library 1t was listened TO
by q large number OF representative
sub women OF the city.
Superintendent Chancellor discussed
the differences OF opinion by men Of
letters on hereditary Influences. DR..
Chancellor took the view that environ
ment had 90 DO with the making for
usefulness of individuals and not pre-
natal Influences. lie thought that most
people were just what they made them
selves.
Discussing the generally accepted
proposition that woman is the heredit-
arg inferior of man, he contested IL and
said that woman was only inferior TO
man by reason of tradition and not in
fact. That 20 determine this great and
grave qu, stiou judgment must be made
as Co individuals and not as class or
sex. This he thought applied as strong
ly to women as it did TO the male sex.
Leaving this scientific question the
speaker took mp the more practical view
of things that directly concerned his
audience as To- the public school sys-
tenn OF Washington it's needs and pos
sinilitics of Improvement. He said that
the course OF study or curriculum of the
Washington schools was all right. and
far better than many of the schools OF
the country. but that IL needed organi-
