GRAND JURY
SUBMITS ITS
FINAL REPORTS
Recommends Enforcement of Gam
bling Licenses and EX-
perting of Books.

The grand jury finished it's labors
last Saturday, when the following re-
port was submitted to Judge Brown:
We found one indictment for grand
larceny, one for forgery, one for es-
cape from Jail, one for realeasing
prisoners before trial, one for felony
and two for assault with intent to
kill.
Expert Account.
We find after a close examination
that the county books have not been
exported since December 3, 1900,
therefore we gently recommend that
the county commissioners secure the
services of an expert accountant for
Gus accounts of the different officers.
uso accounts of the different officers.
Gaming Licenses.
1t having come to the knowledge
of the grand jury that there are some
forty odd gambling games carried on
in the town of Ely and the county has
been receiving license fees from only
thirty games, we therefore strongly
recommend that the law licensing
gambling be strictly enforced.
1t has come to the knowledge of
the grand jury that a certain amount
of money collected for gaming Ii
censes has been appropriated to the
different funds of said county and
state according to the usual method,
and after investigation we find that
there is a certain law upon our stat
utes, passed and approved March,
1907, allowing said collections to be
turned over to the town in which the
licenses are paid for it's individual
USE. There being some doubt as to
the legality we would recommend
that our district attorney confer with
the attorney-genera1 and report to
the county commissioners as soon as
possible.
1t having come to the knowledge
of the grand jury that the county of
White Pine owns certain grounds on
Aultman street in the town of Ely,
we therefore recommend that the
county commissioners take ,imme-
diate steps to find the proper legal
course for the sale and disposition
of said ground, and that they do sell
the same to the best possible advan-
tage to the county. The proceeds OF
said sale are to be used for the re-
demption of bonds issued for the
building of the new courthouse and
Jail and other liabilities.
We further recommend that the
street known as Garden street be
opened up from it's present ending
near O'Neil's residence, between
Aultman and Garden streets, and
continue east through the courthouse
grounds to the Nevada Northern pas
senger depot, and that Sixth street be
opened up from Aultman to Court
street Signed by
ED MILLARD, Foreman.

ALL BIDS ARE
Rejected BY
COMMISSIONERS

GOLDFIELD, June 9.-The board
of county commissioners rejected all
bids for the street railway franchise
that has been advertised for sale for
the past seven months!& This action
was taken after testimony to the OBJ
jections of the signers of the petition
against the sale and after a due con-
sideration of the legal advice pre-
sented by District Attorney swallow
and George P. Steele. The latter was
retained by the petitioners against
the acceptance of the bids received.
The commissioners announced that
they had the best. interests OF the
community at heart and had no de-
sire to railroad the measure through
against the wishes of the pubic and
to the end that they might have
better knowledge of public opinion
regarding the matter. Many OF the
petitioners were summoned before
the board and questioned as to their
personal objections.
The petition itself almost proved to
be a colorless instrument, as the
signers in almost every instance had
never read it and many admitted that
they had not read the terms of the
proposed franchise grant and knew
nothing about the matter only what
they had been told. Harry Coffee,
the iovial "outfitter," created quite a
bit of merriment when he exclaimed
latter being handed the petition and
asked why he had signed 1t: did
I sign this thing? I didn't know
what | was signing, someone hand
handed it to me and I signed to get
rid of them" However, they all pos
sessed a general idea of the objec-
tionable features and were firm in
protesting against granting the fran
chise in it's present form. The main
objection as brought out before the
board was to the clause permlttini

STAY IN ELY.

Secretary Reynolds of Weber Club
Expressed Sentiment of
His People.

''We were given a fine reception
railroad day, and again you have
shown us the greatest of hospitality.
Ogden and Ely should be bound
together with ties of friendship, and
this entertainment You have afforded
us tends to cement even stronger that
feeling of gOOd-fellowship.. The in
terests of the two places being simi-
lar it is well that we have met as we
have.
''The people of Ogden and Salt
Lake thoroughly appreciate the kind
actio snof your town people and hope
that the existing ties of friendship
will continue as they are.
1--WE are produ of our ball team,
and although the boys lost both
games they played well, and some
time we hope to have the Fly team
play at Ogden"
The above statmenet was made by
Ira L. Reynolds, secretary of the
Weber club of Ogden, last night
shortly before the excursion train
pulled out AS his statement shows,
he was greatly pleased with the two
days visit here, and no doubt ex-
pressed the sentiment of the excur-
sionists in general.
Saturday they visited the mines
and were greatly impressed with the
properties and the outlook for this
country Vehicles with banners and
flags were at hand and the visitors
were taken wherever they desired to
go.
Yesterday morning the big attrac-
ton was the trip to the smetler in the
course of construction, about four
teen miles north of the city. The
crowd was taken over in the train,
and was brought back in time to dine
and attend the baseball game. AS
to the ball games details are given in
another column of this paper. Ely,
however, won the honors, and was
twice victorious.
Before the Utah people departed
the Ely brass band rendered con-
cert on Aultman street, near the
Northern hotel. The musicians did
themselves proud and deserve great
credit for their well-rendered concert.

Why II. Volney Williamson Passed

Mr. Williamson was in this camp
thirteen years ago, but did not take
hold of any of the various mining
properties at that time for the reason

that he was tide up with Utah copper
until he got free from the Utah prop
osition. Had it not been for that he
would have control of the greatest
mines the town boasts of today. AS
it is he is heavily interested here.

the use of steam power and the right
through the principal streets of the
city. Though few protested that
the highest bid was mere pittance,
a "measly sum" out of all proportion
to the value of the privileges sought.
1t became apparent very early in
questioning the petitioners that the
board contemplated granting the
franchise in a modified form-for
each one was asked if he would
still object to the grant If the steam
power and freight-carrying features
were eliminated, or were limited by
agreement, to from II a. m. to 6 a.
m. The majority said they would
not. But on this point Attorney
Steele informed the commissioners
that any deviation whatever from the
published terms would make the
whole proceeding invalid. When con-
vinced that this was the law the bids
were rejucted without further ado.

BURIED IN SAND
HID FROM OFFICIALS.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. June9.
After an all-night search for
Miss Teddy Wright, a negress
accused of making an assault
with a razor on Miss Edna
Riley yesterday, the police to-
day found the woman buried up
to her neck in a sand lot near
the Southern Pacific depot.
Miss Wright had lain in the
sand all night waiting for the
departure of a delayed train
for Marysvill, at which place
she expected to be protected
from arrest. During the night
six negroes acted as scouts for
Miss Wright and kept her in
formed of the movements of
the police, while seventh
stood guard over her. The ac-
tions of one of these negroes,
H. Miller, excited the suspi-
cions of the police. He was
shadowed and followed to Miss
Wright's hiding place.

ELY BOYS WON
BOTH GAMES

CONTESTS ARE HARD FOUGHT
AND. REPLETE. WITH
CLEVER PLAYS.
TO PLAY RETURN GAME AT OGDEN
Management May Take the Winners
to GOldfleld and TOnOpah to
to Win More LaurelS.
And Ely won both games!

The people of Ely are proud OF
their ball team, and they have good
reasons for being so. Twice the visit
ing boys from Ogden tried to recover
the laurels, and twice they failed, but
not until they had put up excellent
games
The Ogden players proved worthy
opponents, and demonstrated that
they knew the bame.
Ely's fame as a baseball town is
now we'll known. Manager Welshons
and A. j. Fesler are contemplating
taking the boys to Goldfield and To
nopah, where they will no doubt win
more honors.
Secretary Reynolds of the Weber
club of Ogden wants a return game
in his home town, and 1t is likely
the team will journey over to Utah.
The great crowd that assembled to
witness the game yesterday was sur
prised- A good game was expected
but not the excellent contest that was
played.
Three cheers for the Ely team, and
three more for the worthy opponents!

game and although he grew little
wild at times, was altogether very
effective.
One of the jokes of the game was
Dad Gimlin, manager of the Ogden
team, who made the remark early in
the game, when some of his players
failed to connect with the ball pitch
ed by Jensen, that the man that
cant hit that fellow is no good. "
Straightway Dad" went to the bat
he famed the air with beautiful, full
free-arm sweeps, that resulted in his
taking the bench in "some glum. y
The next time up he repeated the act
and really made some extremely diff
ficult passes at the ball, but all the
time striking the ever-easily batted
atmosphere. The Taught was on

NO WORD OF VETO.
President Never Said He Would Hold
Up Oklahoma Statehood.

Washington, May IL Neither
President Roosevelt nor the secretary
of war. Mr.. Taft, has ever authorized
anyone to say that the president would
reject the Oklahoma constitution or
refuse to issue the proclamation ad-
hitting the new state if the proposed
constitution were adopted by the peo-
pie.
1t is true that both the president
and secretary of war regard the con-
stitution as Objectionable in many re-
poets AS the leader of his party, the
president might suggest with full pro-
priety opposition of the people to the
constitution which would result in its
defeat
If the constitution is not republican
in form, he would be required under
his oath and the enabling act to re-
fuse to recognize the new state. But
in doing this he would not provide for
a republican form of government.
That both the president and Secretary
Taft sanction the opposition of Re
publican leaders in Oklahoma to the
constitution is true. But any state
ment from whatever quarter that the
president will disapprove the constitu-
ton if adopted is without authority
from him or from his secretary or
war.

Atchison, Kan. May 17.-Judge AL
len and Judge Carver, two of the
three receivers appointed by the Kan
sas supreme court to take possession
of the property of the enjoined brew
ers, were in Atchison Friday. Shortly
after their arrival they released 1877
half barrels of Val Blatz beer at the
ice plant, which they seized upon the
occasion of their first visit, and which
Sam Brouse claimed as his personal
property. They also released twenty
six half barrels of Schlitz beer, stored
at the same place, and which Carl
Heidemann claimed as his property.

NO BACKDowN. SAYS FACULTY.
Denial That the Ottawa School Strike

Ottawa, Kan, May 19.-The members
of the faculty of the high school deny
that they were forced to graduate
Horace J. Smith. jr., by the strike of the
other members of the senior class. Prof.
A. L. Bell, superintendent of the schools,
avs that he was not Influenced at all
nto letting the young man be gradu-
lted. Prof w D. BucholZ states that
no attempt was made by the members
of the class to make him consent to the
graduation. Members of the class say
that Bucholz was notified that Smith
must be given his diploma on the stage.
They say that they would not have gone
on at all otherwise.
Several days ago it was given out that
for alleged misbehavior in school the
young man would not be given his d.
