WITHDRAWS OFFER
TO TAKE OVER STATE BANK

CARSON, January 31.-After max
ing an examination of the books of
the State Bank and Trust
Mayor Kirman of Reno has withdrawn
his original proposition to take over
the affairs of that institution. The
examination revealed the fact that
it would require nearly a million dol
lars to pay off the depositors. There
IS very little cash available for the
bank, and it is feared the depositors
will receive only a few cents on the
dollar. Mckenzie, who is here, insists
that the bank either resume or that
a receiver be appointed, and it is pro-
badly that the bank will be turned
over to a receiver within thenext "a
hours. Hickey refuses to give his
personnel note to Mckenzie, and the
result is that all negotiations are at
a standstill.

but feel indignant in the highest de-
gree.
Elko county is disgraced at having
twelve men who would liberate the
man. The jury system is a fraud
when such men are called upon to
serve. Words cannot be found to ex-
press the contempt that people should
heap upon these twelve men.
Even a Piute would not be guilty
of a line of reasoning that would ex-
cuse a man because he went crazy
when he took a notion to kill some
body and then Topped back to
sanity after the deed was committed.
The sum and substance of it all
is that the insanity plea is the rich
mans subterfuge. 1t IS not for the
poor and friendless transgressor. The
system is partial. If the man who
Is tried is without money and without
friends, the law does not provide for
alienists and noted criminal lawyers.
It does not provide for Matching up
evidence to suit the needs of the man
on trial. He is simply assigned a law
yer in case he has none, and the fee
allowed by the court is not sufficient
to hire the foxy attorneys who would
clear him regardless of his guilt.
One such case as this may be cit
ed right here at home. and that is
the case of Buckaroo Jack. He was
guilty of murder, and after the jury
heard the evidence they had no doubt
about his guilt, found no e~xtenuating
circumstances, and brought in a yer
diet of guilty in short order. They
did not find that he went crazy just
before he killed his squaw and then on
second thought became sane. Conse-
guently, Buckaroo Jack got, or will
get, Just what he deserves, in case
no technicalities are resorted to to
free him.
When the law exacts the utmost
from an untutored red man, friendless
enough not only in time of adversely
hut under the most favorable circum-
stances, it should exact the same from

training make him know better than

PAPER HAS LITTLE
FAITH IN THE POLICE BILL

The Tonopah Sun sees nothing good
in the police bill as passed by the
legislature. 1t says:
1t is hard to comprehend the actions
of the Goldfeld operators who GER
tainly hold the record for compromises
and 'lay-downs.' The latest is in
giving in to the demand of the state
assembly that Goldfeld shall be prae-
tically a Western Federation camp.
Recently the operaors fathered a
movement for the formation of a
new miners union and caused many
federation men to desert that fold,
foreswearing allegiance to their union
to join a rival organization. Now
these men are left to their own re
rources as it We're, and must lookout
for themselves as best they can. By
taking back the old federation trou
ble-makers there can be nothing but
strife, and the troubles of Goldfeld
are only beginning. With the sam
men back at work and the conditions
such as will bring about further dis
content, there will be more pretext
for trouble, and there will be NOR

An excellent way for making chill
dren's bibs, and one that fully an
swers the purpose. is made by using
the regular yoke pattern, cutting the
back deep enough so that a narrow
piece of the goods comes under the
arm Instead of the same depth yoke
in front, cut the material as long as
the child's dress, rounding the goods
at the side if you prefer Join the
back yoke to the front piece; cut the
sleeves and sew in; face the yoke,
neck and sides with bias strips of the
material Two buttons will be sutfi-
cient for the back. When finished you
will have a bib that not only entirely
covers the front OF the child's dress,
but also protects the sleeves.

New York. Dec 22.-There was
some shrinkage of the activity in the

active and the tone buoyant at toL

whose supposed critical condition OF
health figured in the imagination OF
spectators yesterday in connection
with their hasty selling of stocks
resumed a .very robust condition of
activity today and was permeating
the railroad map Of the country with
his projects of combination and trans
formation. On one hand ii was con
fidently assumed that he was plan

system and devising its combination
with some eastern outlet, preferably

quarter the retirement of President

mans expected entry into influential
activity in that property. An Incl
dent was to be the hitching of the
Toledo, st. Louis and Western with
the New York Central lines for new
connection into the southwest, There
was great activity and strength in all
securities of the Missouri Kansas and
Texas, following the prevalent as
sumption that the sale of the Colo.
RADIO and Southern to the Burlington
was fair index of what was to hap
pen to other southwestern railroads
with gulf outlets and eligible for a
combination with the northern and
railroads. The opinion
halted between the Alton and Mil,
waukee as the most probable absorb,r
of this system, but that it would be
one or the other there was no room
for doubt allowed. These were the
most important and most plausible of
the rumors in circulation and there |
will serve as examples of the tend, |
ency of the days speculation.
