A CLOSE CALL.

Charles Schalb met with a bad ac- cident while out hunting. He saw a gray squirrel up Tn a tree and in order to get better shot at it he set his gun down and fired a rock at the squirrel to drive it out where he could see it. When the rock came down it hit the trigger to his gun, discharging it and the bullet entered his lower jaw and passed through his cheek and came out below his temple. Dr Smith was called and dressed the wound and the young man is now doing nicely. It was a very close call for him.

Railroad Co.

ELY, Aug. 1.-THE city council
and citizens of Ely are preparing pa
pers for a suit against the Nevada
Northern railroad to prevent the rail
road company from placing the name
Ely on the depot at Ely City.
The people of Ely claim that Ely
City is only a suburb of the city OF
Ely, and that they do not want people
arriving at the place to really think
that they have arrived at Ely, the
great copper camp. The Nevada
Northern has removed it's depot from
the city of Ely and is now establishing
it at Ely city.
The citizens do not object to the re-
moval of the depot, but they do object
to the railroad company stealing the
city's name and will ask the court to
prevent the company placing the
name Ely on it's depot.

Old Man Mar
rieS Young Girl

w. A. Stanton of GOldfield, said to
be 6S years of age, but who claims to
have seen no more than GA summers,
became the husband, last Monday ev-
ening in Los Angeles, of a sixteen
year-old girl, Blanche, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William B. Nye
The ceremony was scheduled to be
solemnized several weeks ago, but
the mother of the young girl on being
apprised of the real age of the suitOr,
made strenuous objection and spirited
her child away to an isolated retreat
almost on the eve of the announced
date of the wedding.
1t is understood that in a desperate
effort to make his appearance conform
to the feelings of his youthful heart
the would-be bridegroom shaved of
his moustache, donned white-duch
and took on the elastic step and man
ners of young man in his teens.
This was too much for papa ant
mamma Nye who relented and gave
their child into the keeping of the
: Goldfield man.

to recover property valued at $780,

the wellkonwn politician, in his COM
plant and alleges that Comins took
advantage of his mothers mental
condition and advanced age, she be-
ing 80 years old, persuaded and induc-
ed her to execute and deliver to the
said Comins warranty deed of all
lands and property therein described,
together with the conveyance of a
large amount of live stock and per-
sonal property situate thereon for a
consideration of $100, and said deed
was accepted by Comins fraudulently
and unlawfully. He also alleges that
Comins advised the defendant to leave
the State of Nevada and go to Penn
sylvania, which he did few hours
after the execution of the deed.

TRIAL

Today the Supreme Court handed
down it's decision in the Patsy Dwyer
case and granted the defendant new
trial for the murder of one Williams
at Austin on the 31st day Of July,
1906. The decision is by Norcross, j.,
and concurred in by the full court.
The principal point raised in the ap-
peal for a new trial was the fact that
it required the snbpenaing of prac-
.ticalIy every juryman in Lander
before twelve men could be secured
to try Dwyer for the murder of Will
iams. This state of affairs was owing
to the state of feeling against the de-
fendant, as both Williams, the man
he murdered, and Dyer, the lat
ter's companion, were we'll and favor
ably known residents of Lander
county.
After the arrest of Dwyer consid-
erable talk of lynching was indulged
in by prominent citizens of both Aus
tin and Battle Mountain where the de-
ceased was we'll known and very
popular. This talk of summary JUS
tice caused the sheriff of Lander
county to take precautions for the
welfare of the prisoner. 1t was on
these facts that the attorneys for
Dwyer asked of the court a change OF
VpOnp This was rpfuSo6
1t was also shown that members Of
the jury that tried the case had stated
that they believed the defendant
guilty and several of the county Off
GERS had advocated the lynch law in
the presence of the jurymen.
They were kept aware at all times
of the general public feeling against
the man on trial before them for his
life and the Supreme Court holds that
it would be an impossibility for jury
under these conditions to render a
decision in accordance with the evi
dence submitted at the trial.
In speaking of the murder and the
from the decision:
Pat Dwyer shot and killed one A.
c. Williams on the principal streets in
the town of Austin about o'clock on
the evening of July 81, 1906. AT the
same time he shot one Henry Dyer,
the companion of Williams, inflicting

it necessary to take precautions for
the safety of the prisoner
The decision then continues with
several pages of cross-examination
relative to the general public feeling
against the defendant including the
fact that two doctors who made an
examination of the sanity of Dwyer
testified to two different verdicts of
his condition, one claiming that the
crime was committed while the de.
fendant was partially crazed from the
use of liquor and the Other to the con.
trary giving his opinion that the man
was in perfectly sane and normal
condition when he did the deed.
This in itself shows that prejudice
ruled the majority of the citizens of
the county where the crime was
committed and where the defendant
had to stand trial for his life.
The decision then continues as fol
lows:
From all the facts and cirucm-
stances before the court can it be said
that it was an abuse OF discretion to
have denied the defendants motion
for a change of venue? 1t must be ap-
parent that the proper solution of the
question here presented is of far
greater Importance than the mere
question of the guilt or innocence of
this defendant. The right of trial by
a fair and impartial jury is one of the
most valuable privileges guaranteed
by constitution to the citizen. The
law cannot be respecter of persons
and say that this man shall be tried
by a jury uninfluenced by public SEN
timent, and another man must take
his chances with jury that is sub
ject to all the insidious forces that

WORKS A
COMBINATION
Of Business Man by Day
And Robber in Ten
dertoin at Nifht

RENO, Aug. 1l.-Wilham Meade,
who up to last night was a respected
business man of this city, a mining
promoter of several companies, and
an associate of two of Renos we'll
known business men, was arrested
last night in the tenderloin district
of this city ana placed in the city
prison. Later in the night he was re-
leased on bail furnished by a friend
who refused to give his name to the
officers.
With the arrest of Meade last night
one of the most peculiar records OF
the criminal history of this city was
brought to light.
From what information the police
have Meaue, during the day, promot.
ed mining deals, was representative
of soap company in this city and an
officer in several mining companies
in which Reno men are interested.
At night he piled the trade of burg
lar in the tenderloin district of the
city. He was arrested in a tunnel
built in the rear of four cribs run by
women he had brought from Colorado
and in charge of his mistress. Secret
panels connected the rooms of the
cribs with his tunnel and more
unique arrangement for the robbery
of the frequenters of these resorts
could hardly be imagined. AS soon as
the victims attention was distracted
one of the accomplices OF Meade on
the inside would place his wearing ap-
parel near the secret panel and Meade
would Immediately proceed to annex
whatever valuables happened to be in
the pockets.
The women of the houses claim no
knowledge Of the work of Meade. but
the fact that he brought them to this
city lead the police to believe they
are also in on the deal
When arrested a bunch of skeleton
keys, several tools for picking docks
and other apparatus usually manipu.
lated by burglar were found on his
person.

an almost universal public sentiment
has time and again been demonstrat-
ed to WELD. 1t is the glory of our ju-
dicial system that it throws the safe.
guards of protection from :1apropc.1 in
huences around the high and the low,
the rich and the poor alike. No mat
ter how low man may fall in the
scale of human degradation, no mat.
ter how deep-dyed criminal he may
be, the law says he shall not be pun
ished for his crimes, except upon
fair and impartial trial before an un.
prejudiced jury.
1T is shown here by overwhelming
proof that it was almost the universal
belief in the county of Lander that the
defendant was guilty of the crime
charged. The homicide was one which
naturally would create a strong feel
ing of prejudice against the prisoner,
in a county of small population where
the person killed was very generally
known, respected and popular. Even
if it were possible to procure jury
of twelve men from remote parts of
the county who were not acQuaint ed
with the parties and who had not
heard the case discussed and who
could readily qualify, yet it would
hardly be possible for such a jury not
to be come aware of the existence OF
such public sentiment, for the jury
men could not help but listen to the
examination of the other talisman,
nearly nine-tenths of whom are dis
qualifying themselves because of
their opinion, a circumstance to be
considered with others in the case,
even though it alone might not be suf
ficient to warrant change of venue.
In this case, however, a number Of
jurymen selected to try appellant
must have been acquainted with thu
public sentiment, independent of what
might be disclosed upon the examina-
ton of other jurymen."
From all the facts and circum
/ stances of this case we think a juy ST.
lected as this one was would likely
be influenced more or less with the
general public feeling instead of be-
ing governed entirely by the evidence
| introduced upon the trial.
For the reasons given, the judg:
ment is reversed and the trial court
is directed to grant the motion for a
| change of venue for the purposes of
! a new trial, which is ordered.
