LOCAL OPTION LAW

On our first page will be found
the text Of the Act providing for
a special election to determine
whether the several local option
districts of the State shall be
t'wet" or "dry" until another
election can be had. 1t will be
noted that a few sections OF the
act are not printed verbation as
they deal with forms and certih-
Gates and matters not of general
interest. Under this law, al
though all the votes of the state
have the right to vote, the result
is determined by districts. What
that result will be, no one can
tell, but the general opinion
seems to be that Kent and Sussex
counties will 60 against Ii.
cense," the City of Wilmington
"License" and rural New Castle
County doubtful. Both the tenn
perance people and the liquor
dealers are already organizing
for an active campaign.
One particular feature of the
law strikes us as good. It pro
vides that in case a district goes
for ''No License" that thereafter
anyone convicted of selling liquor
in that district shall be punished
by fine and Imprisonment. This
will be a great deterrent of the
"blind tigers"

and Many Things To Be
Considered

solely for the interests of the town,
have gone to work, surveyed this land
and in the main, that is with two ex-
cept ors, secured verbal options on its
purchase. Having done this, they will
soon lay the proposition before the
people to get the general sentiment in
the matter
The Question to be Decided
OF course tie great question to be
decided will be, Is it better for the in
terests of the town to have the road
on this side Of the river or on the 9TH
er sides .'aking into consideration
the information and assurances given
out by the company as to what will be
done in the way of a terminal, and
in the way of establishing yards and a
depot in case the road is on the other
side of the river or in case it is on
this SIDE; and further considering the
topography of the country and where
the natural vantage points for the es-
tabishment of yards and terminal
exist, this question must be decided.
Into the consideration of this ques
tion should also enter the query as to
whether the road on this side or the
road on that side will affect or retard
from the natural beauty of the town.
As is already known, the line survey
on the other side of the river passing
down from Golconda, crossed the Hum
boldt above the town. Making a
curve in the cleared space near the
bridge, it extends on down through
the old race track to the west. The
curve in the line as it passes down
from Golconda in the survey on this
side of the river is farther up than the
curve on the line across the river, and
the proposed route is practically

MURDER AND ARSON
WERE HIS PURPOSE

WELLS, New, April 16.-An un-
known man last Saturday night at
tempted to kill William Drake, the
proprietor of the Bullshead saloon.
Had he been better shot, he would
have killed the saloon man. but as it
was he failed to iniure anyone, al
though he nearly wounded Drake, Jas.
Curd and Charles Ross.
The three men were standing at the
bar in the saloon when five shots were
fred in close succession by someone
standing in the alley in the rear of
the saloon. All of the bullets went
wide of their mark, but shattered the
glass behind the bar and broke a num-
Der of bottles.
The three men rushed into the allN
to look for the would-be asfsassin and
found that fire had been built at one
end of the saloon and that the build
ing was Just beginning to blaze. They
extinguished the flames and then be-
gan search for the fend. but failed
to find him or clue that might lead
to his arrest.

FEARS A DAMAGE
SUIT
SAID THAT RAILROAD
COMPANY ENDEAvoRED TO
AVOID AN INQUEST
Endeavor to Have Employees Of the
Wrecked Train Testify is Met
with Evasion and Delay

RENO, April 16.-It looks very
much as though the Southern Pacific
company is endeavoring to avoid an
inquest into the cause of the wreck at
Browns station, which resulted ia
tally to Engineer Hampton, for ev-
cry effort or the local authorities to
force Superintendent Rowlands at
Sparks to nave the employees Of the
wrecked train brought here for an in
quest has been met with evasion and
delays. The railroad people have been
notified that they must have their en-
ployes on hand here today, as an in
quest is scheduled for this afternoon.
It is said that the company fears a
damage suit owing to the alleged care
lessness of one Of it's employees having
caused the wreck.
Mr.. Rowlands resents the insinua.
tion that the officials of the company
have endeavored to interfere in any
way with the holding of an inquest
or in any manner tried to blockade an
official inquiry into the cause Of the
death Of Engineer Hampton.
1.-The first information I had of
their wanting to hold an inquest was
conveyed to me in . note from Justice
Rsll Friday afternoon said Mr..
Rowlands yesterday evening. "I i'm
mediately notified all the witnesses
whom Mr.. Bell had designated that
they would be wanted at the iustice
court Sunday at 10 a. M, and 80 ad-
vised Justice Bell.
"Late Saturday evening 1 received
a second message from Justice Bell
stating that the inquest wAuld be held
Monday at 2 p. m. instead and l ac-
eordingly notified The. witnesses and
made necessary arrangements for their
attendance. At no time was / ever
sshA' 30 appear myself
"In regard to the suggestion that
we have Intentionally disregardeel the
law in bringing the body of Mr..
Hampton back from the scene of the
accident before the inquest, 1 desire
to deny any such intentions. The
cause of his death was so apparent we
did not deem an inquest necessary.
The company is as anxious as anyone
10 know what caused the wreck and
win give all assistance possible to
any official inquiry. 1t is clearly to
the company's interest to know in
order that repetition of the disaster
from the same cause might be avert
ed.''

A committee having the work in
charge have quietly gone to work,
surveyed out. the land which would
be required by the railroad company
were they to cobe on this side of the
river, and have obtained with two ex-
ceptions options on the needed prop

the citizens of the town to get their
views on the matter and to find out
the sentiment that exists toward o.

across the river.
Concessinos Asked by the w. P. Co..

the town to the southern 1t passes
through First street and on to the
t. Yards and a terminal could not
with ease be established across the
river. The curve in the road would
not permit, and the uneven condition

without the expenditure of vast
amount of money. Without do,ht
the level land at the site of the old
race track will appeal to the railroad
company if they decide to establish
terminal point at Winnemucca ir
case the road runs on the other side of
the river.
The irreparable injury that would
result to Winnemucca as the town IS
now laid out in ease the yards and
terminal are established at the old

be required to make of it a terminal

done with the expenditure of one half
the amount of money that would be

river in suitable condition for yards
Senator w. j. Bell and ID. Pascal,
who own land which is needed in case
the road passes on this side, have OF
jected to giving options on their prop
er'v pre -umably because they believe
il would be better for the road to pass
on the other side. Senator Bell states
that he will withdraw his objection
and will sell the land if it is for the
best interests of the town of Whine
mucca. He believes the town could be
beautifed by having the road on tha
other side and that more could be
done by Incorporating the town, secur-
ing water and other things for the
new road Mr.. Pascal does not ahso
lutely refuse to sell his land but hes
itates for reasons similar to those of
Mr.. Bell.
This matter must receive earnest
consideration and be acted upon in a
spirit of unity, for upon its solution
depends much affecting the future
prosperity and welfare of Winnie
