The fact that the census will cost
not less than $4,000 is cited in con.

TO PLACE NEVADA
ON THEATRICAL CIRCUIT

+. c. Shutter, representing the In
ter-mountain theatrical circuit arriv-
ed in this city yesterday and held a
conference with Manager Meder of
the local play house and Manager
Piper of the theater in Virginia.
The object of the gentlemean's visit
was to make arrangements to enter
the towns OF Carson City, Reno, Vir-
ginia City, TOnOpah and GOldfeld on
the Inter-mOuntain circuit, which is a
division of the great American theat-
rical trust. The gentleman, accom-
panied by Mr.. Piper departed for
Reno last evening and they intend, if
possible, to secure a one year lease
on the old McKissick opera house
there which is now being changed
into an apartment house. If the state
is entered on the circuit they will
erect modern play house in Reno
before another year, but they will
try to procure the Mchi5slck theater
until the new ,np will be erected.
Whether they ar Hdccessful or not
tie other four towns VIII be entered
on The circuit and arrangements for
a playhouse in Reno will be rushed
to completion. Ii the deal is success,
FIJI the best people in the show line
will appear on this circuit.
The idea that none but trust at
fractions can appear in these houses
is an error as the towns are too
small to attempt boycott OF the
companies fighting the trust, but the
idea is 70 include the growing and
prosperous state Of Nevada on the
trust circuit, which will have the op-
ton on all dates for their attractions.

HENNESSY ASKS ST.
PREME COURT FOR Bail

TONOPAH, June 22.-J. H. Hen
messy, recently convicted OF yolun,
cary manslaughter, and granted a new
trial by the Supreme Court, has ap
piled to the Supreme Court to be ad
mitted to bail
Hennessy's case is a most peculiar
one, perhaps unique in Nevada Grim,
nal records. About a year ago Hen
messy shot and fatally wounded Frank
Canal, and slightly wounded George
Cole, now Deputy Assessor in
Esmeralda Comfy. Hennessy was
tried for the killing of Canal and
found guilty Of voluntary manslaugh-
ter with a recommendation for mercy
He was sentenced to serve four years
i'll the penitentiary, and the case was
appealed to the Supreme Court. Up
on the showing that a conspiracy ex-
listed to kill Hennessy's employer,
one Gilman. and that Hennessy shot
Canal III defending Gilman, and upon
the contention that the lower Court
had erred in excluding from the trial
testimony concerning the conspiracy,
the verdict was reversed and the case
remanded for a new trial.
Meanwhile the case took on an un-
usual aspect through the action OF the
jury, the members Of which, having
previously agreed 'hefora rendering
the verdict OF mans laughter that one
year in the penitentiary would be suf-
ncient punishment for the crime
made 4 further agreement that should
Hennessy be sentenced for d longer
term hey would all sign a petition for
his pardon. This petition was signed
while the case was before the Su.
preme Court The order for a new
trial having been made, the case is
still further complicated by the con
tentiOn OF Hennessy's attorney that
having been convicted Of manslaught
er only, he cannot be retired for any
more serious offense
The application for bail has beer
made pending the straightening GU
Of the tangle.
