As an illustration of the fortunes,
of more or less magnitude, which are
daily being picked up in Nevada, we
mention this week the sale of the
Brown-Bell claims eight miles west
of town, at Fifteen Thousand dollars.
About two months ago these young
men went to this new camp and To-
Gated the claims they are now selling.
Young Brown, upon whose claim the
strike was made, never had any prey

vada eutitled IAN Act to authorize
the Board of County Commissioners
of Humboldt County to provide for
the Imprisonment of certain prison
ers in the branch county Jail at the
Town of Lovelock in said county," ap-
proved March l3, 1903, is hereby re-
pealed.
SEC. 2. This Act shall take effect
from and after its passage.
Mr.. Scotts idea, as we understand
it, is that as this Act is virtually dead
and not being used at the present
time it should be off the statutes
As matter of fact there has been
considerable contention over this
matter between the local peace ofiic-
ers and the County Commissioners.
Unless this matter can be settled and
some arrangement made whereby
the petty offenders can be kept in
our local Jail and made to work upon
our streets, the law had better be re-
pealed.
1t is the opinion of many, however,
that Lovelock is in need of and en-
titled to the branch county Jail as in
tended by the Act now on the statu-
tes. Nearly half of the prisoners in
the County Jail OF Winnemucca are
from this section of the County
Many of them are serving short SEN
tences of from 10 to 30 days. They
are taken up to Winnemucca and
placed confinement, not earning a
cent for the county or town in any
way. 1t would be much better il
they could be employed in keeping
the streets in good condition.
MUST HAVE MEANS OF SUPPORT.
But if this method of treating
Lovelock transient offenders is a.
dopted there must be some means
provided for the support and main
tainance of this Jail. That is where
the present contention arose. We
cannot expec. the officers here tC
keep the prisoners at their own ex
pense, 1t surely does not cost any
more to keep them here than it does
in Winnemucca and this town is en-
titled to some benefits from the a
mount paid in county taxes. Tn,
delegation from this county shouli
consider this after carefully befor,
passing the repeal act.

WARDS EXPENSES
WERE ABOUT $1,000
Municipal Candidates May Decide to
File Expense Accounts With
Probate Judge Today.

Inasmuch as several of the candidates
in the recent primary have prepared to
make a statement of their expenses to
the probate judge today, the question
came up last night as to whether or not
this was necessary. The law is that
thirty days after a primary every candi-
date must have his expense account filed.
The law, however, requires this of can
dldates in state and county primaries,
and the question was raised as to
whether or not the same requirement was
made of candidates in municipal pri-
maries.
City Attorney Smith stated last night
that he was not sure, but as he desired
to be on the safe side he would make
his statement today. F. M. jackson,
campaign manager for Mayor Ward, has
furnished his candidate with the data
from which to make his statement. 1t is
learned that Mayor Wards expenses
were something more than 1920. City
Treasurer Eustis prepared his statement
last night
Today, March IS, Is thirty days from
the time of the recent municipal pri-
mary.

SHOOTS JEWELLERS
AND ONE IS KILLED
PoNTo JACKSON FIRES INTO A
CROWD AT SAYRE MINES IN
DARKNEss-HAD BEEN GAM
BLING ALL NIGHT,

Because a crowd of negroes would insist
upon drinking and dancing until day.
light Saturday night, Ponto jackson shot
into their midst and killed John Woods.
The shooting occurred at o'clock SUM-
day morning in the Holmes quarters at
Sayre mines. Coroner Paris went immedi-
ately to the scene which appeared to been
that of a drunken brawl.
Jackson had fled but his wife told the
story that they had themselves asked the
seven or eight negroes to go away, and
had retired to sleep. She said that
Woods and his crowd had continued 20
drink and cut up racket until Jackson
decided to put a stop to 1t.
He grabbed up a pistol, stepped to the
door and before anyone could check him
fired twice. 1t seems that the lights had
been previously turned out, and when a
match was struck 1t revealed one negro
lying dead in his blood. Jackson, when
he had seen the result Of his deed, made
away to the woods and has not been APP
pretended.

LOUISIANA GAME
LAW HOLDS GOOD
Birds in Millinery Stores Con-
fScated By WardenS
ALABAMA GETTING IN LINE
1t Is Said Legislators Are Ready to
Defend Their Recent Action in
Prohibiting Use of Birds
As Millinery.

While the song bird and the innocent
little insectivorous fowls are beginning
to shuttle their stuffed bodies out toward
the rims of the Alabama ladies' hats, pre-
paratory to taking flight, there comes
the fluttering of wings and the inhar-
monious squeaking of sawdust voices from
the rejuvenated birds of Louisiana. In
that wonderful state the game warden has
already begun to give wings to the dusty
birds that have for SO many years added
beauty and individuality to the artificial
landscape gardens of that fair southern
state
The ladies who have been gathering up
their skirts and collecting their pitch
forks for an attack upon the legislature
of Alabama, would do we'll to throw away
such ancient weapons of warfare, buckle
swords around their waists and ride down
upon the state capitol firing shotguns.
and pistols, for instead of a crowd of
hen pecked husbands behind those bar
racks they are apt to discover phalanx
of stubborn fighters, armed themselves
for bloody fray.
Loulsldnd not only passed ner game
law through both houses, but the game
wardens are enforcing it. With their
statute in one hand ard commission in
the other they have liberated the impris-
oned birds and left the hats of the poor
women populated with mere seagulls and
chicken feathers.
The section of Alabama's game law
prohibiting the sale or having in pos
session any part of birds other than game
birds, was not slipped in by mistake
When the lady lobbyists reach Montgom-
cry they will find a real sentiment against
their "cruel and heartless practice of
wearing murdered birds on their hats
while they themselves faint away when u
bug is killed in their presence.
In Louisiana these same lobbyists went
away with mournful faceJ and were
obliged to resort to the law. When the
industrious game warden ransacked a
millinery store and confscated every hat
with song bird on 1t, the enraged mil
liner brought suit. Through three courts
the case was carried and in every one
the act was judged constitutional and the
warden upheld in his action.

WAR ON MIGRANTS
BEGINNING TO TELL
FORTY-SIX ARRESTS WERE MADE
YESTERDAY-AUT ARE
DETERMINED TO MAKE EVERY,
BODY GO TO WORK.

From y o'clock Saturday night to u
o'clock Sunday night there were forty
six arrests made, just twice as many
as We're registered during Saturday.
The cause of the large number was ac-
counted for by the campaign being made
against Migrants. From every quarter of
the city the policemen sent in one after
another, both negroes and whites.
There was no special section raided, but
the officers are on special lookout for
the worthless class, and If they cannot
put up the proof they are hurried off to
jail
The trial of some of these fellows is
often humorous. Since the new Vag.
rancy laws have gone into effect the po'
liceman does not have to swear that the
fellow does not work, and IL is hard to
make the defendant understand that he
has to prove 1t himself. Hitherto they
have all put ii off by claiming to be
sick, but this ruse works no longer, as a
doctors certificate is required
Early yesterday morning there were a
number of fights and several robberies.
John Webb, negro, with an accomplish,
held up and took 81 away from a MT.
Locket at First avenue and Twenty-third
street. They afterwards tried 1t on an
other man, who escaped and put an of
ficer after them. Webb was caught and
the other man got away.
L. b. Sheltons store on the Southside
was broken open and ransacked. Every
thing was torn to pieces, but very little
of value was removed. VIII Jackson, a
negro. was cut up badly by Tom With
ers. a negro, in a drunken quarrel in
Alley c. Withers was arrested by Police
man Carroll and charged with assault
with intent to murder.
Sunday liquor selling and drinking was
exceedingly quiet. After the lesson Of
recent sabbaths the barkeepers stayed
away from their business places and only
three men, two negroes and one white,
were able to get hold of enough to In
toxcate them.

JOHN ABBOTT RETURNS.
Tells of Thrilling Experience In Ar
kansas Wreck Saturday.

John Abobtt returned to Birmingham
Yesterday after spending several weeks
very pleasantly in the west. He had
narrow escape Saturday in the wreck of
the Rock Island flyer, some distance out
of Little Rock. Mr.. Abbotts life was
saved on account of the fact that he had
lust left the baggage car when that car
was smashed. He had two dogs in the
baggage car and both were killed. He
had been riding in this car for long
distance and had just left for the Pull
man when the crash came. Several lives
were lost in the wreck and much damage
done.
Concerning the accident Mr.. Abbott
talks entertainlngl-'. He stated that the
recent automobile wreck in which he fig
ured was nothing to the scare that he
received Saturday night.

alarmed and there is no more money

Legislation In various phases Is re-

cYeases our earnings and prevents us
from making the improvements that we
want to make in order to keep abreast
