IMPORTANT
REPORT OF
GRAND JURY
Two True Bills Were Found
By the Grand Jury in
Criminal Cases.
Recommendation in Regard
to Sanitation and Chang
ing of Roads.

Following is the report of the Grand
Jury at this sitting of the district
court:
To the Hon. j. S. Orr, Judge:
In the matter of the State of Nevada
VS.. Matt johnson. After careful in
vestigstion of the evidence and exami-
nation of witnesses in this case, true
bill was found.
In the matter of the State of Nevada
VI. Percy f. Fuller, true bill was
found after due examination and
thorough of all matt .rs in this case.
In the matter of the State of Nevada
vs.. Patsy" Wentworth. This charge
was ignored after careful search of all
matters relating to the case.
The Grand Jury recommends that the
County Commissioners take steps to
ascertain if sign boards are placed at
all crossings, branches and diversions
of county roads, and If no such sign
boards are in position we recommend
that the County Commissioners i'm
mediately take such action as 1t requir-
ed by law.
Concerning the question of the dis
posal of the accumulation of garbage
in the town of Fallon, reputable citi-
zens and taxpayers of the county OF
Churchill appeared before the Grand
Jury and stated the present disposition
of the garbage was nuisance. Con-
cering this complaint, we would earn
estly ask that the Health Board OF
Churchill county look carefully into this
matter and see if this garbage is care
lessly scattered along the streets of the
town Of Fallon or any of the public
highways of Churchill county and If in
its final disposition il is a nuisance and
menace to the health of any of the
citizens of said county.
1t has been called TO the attention of
the Grand Jury that in the changing of
old established roads and public high
ways, that new roads have been made
but left in a deplorable condition for
travel. We recommend that the coun-
ty commissioners look carefully into
this matter and see if any of the roads
have been changed without proper au-
thority so to do, and where any one has
a right to change a road we insist that
the new road be put into as good con-
dition as the road was before.
No further business appearing. the
Grand Jury awaits the intruetions of
the court.
Respectfully submitted,
Attest: j. w. FERGUSON, Foreman.
GEO. 7. CHILDs, Secretary.

CELEBRATION ONAFAlLURE
Majority of Fallon People Spend
Their Fourth Out of Town.

The Piutes with their silk hand
kerchiefs. vari-colored stockings
and new calico gowns and the
small boy with his torpedo were
the only evidences to denote the
presence of independence Day in
Fallon. A surfeit of local enter
tainment previous to the Fourth
had much to do with the apathy
of the citizens in celebrating at
home.
Saltwater stole a march on us
and held a gloriou. celebration.
There were horse races, baseball,
and a big barbecue. Easily in the
morning the Auto Livery Co. S
autos were busy carrying the
people to the old county seat
town. 1t was easy to detect the
fine Italian hand of our old friend,
Chas. Cirac, in this successful
coup. Whatever Charley does is
done well and successfully. The
day wound up with big dance
at Cirac's hotel.
Jack Kerr, Harry Clinton and
one or two others enjoyed the
afternoon by parading the streets
with cornets and bass drum. The
music was highly appreciated.
Mark and Mrs. Wildes saddled
their horses, and with two or
three children went to the river
for an afternoons outing.
In the afternoon many came in
from the country, some bringing
racing stock to compete in the
contests advertised. 1t was too
bad that these people had to be
disappointed. Some that were
mainly instrumental in getting
up the celebration here went to
Reno and Saltwater.

Badly Burned With Gasoline

Mrs. Bish Ferguson had mar
escape from being burned to
death Friday morning. While en-
gagged in washing a silk skirt in
a can of gasoline out in the yard
on the ranch, by some unaccount-
able means the fluid became ig-
nited, the flames burning her
hands badly before her husband,
who fortunately, was near by,
could extinguish them. She re-
ceived no burns about the face,
although at one time the strings
on her.sunbonnet We're on fire.
Mrs. Ferguson was hurried to
the residence of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. R. Lee, in this city,
and DR.. Dempsey summoned.
1t was truly a miraculous es-
cape and is proof of the mistake
in using the fluid in a manner in
which apparently there was nc
danger.

ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
City Once More Lighted With
Electricity by Home Company

The Fallon Light and Power
Plant, under the management of
G. B. McFarlin and Frank An
drews, bids fair to be one of the
future great enterprises of the
future great city of Fallon. Al
ready they have a patronage of
200 16-candle power lights. The
plant is running all night, the
first time in its history, and Mr..
McFarlin informs the STANDARD
that it will continue to do so, and
that improvements will constantly
be made as fast as the accumula-
ton of business warrants. There
are now five 2000-candle power
ALB arc lights in use, one at the
plant, which lights up Williams
avenue to the court house; one
on Maine street, two in the Pal
ace saloon and one in another sa-
loon. Four or five of these arc
lights distributed in different
parts of the city would furnish
all the light necessary, and the
STANDARD believes that the tax
payers would willingly foot the
bill if the Commissioners would
order them. About four 16-can-
die power incandescent lights in
in the alley between Maine
and Carson streets would also be
a good thing. Had this alley been
lit up at the time the Nevada
Distillers and Brewers Co. and
Callahan's was robbed it is safe
to assume that the robbery would
never have occurred. These lights
would be an aid to the night
watchman, while as it is, a mans
life would be in danger should he
run onto a thief in the dark.
The citizens of Fallon should
patronize the electric light plant.
1t is the safest and cheapest light
known, and besides no city can
attain to any degree of fame
abroad that is not supplied with
electricity. both for lighting and
power. The power will come
later on when the revenue is suf-
ficient to run the plant night and
day.

JACK O'NEILL
WANTED IN
KALISPEL
Sheriff Shirley and Constable
Waidely Make Import
ant Arrest.
Man Wanted by Montana
Authorities on a Charge
OF Felony.

Last Wednesday evening Sher-
iff Shirley and Constable Waidely
arrested Jack O'Neill in this city
on suspicion. At the time of the
arrest the officers had no idea of
the nature and magnitude of the
crime in which the man was inn
plicated.
Working on a blind lead fur
nished by a drunken man the
officers went to the slaughter
house of the Fallon Slaughtering
and Supply Co., for whom O'Neill
was working in the capacity of
butcher, arrested him and took
him to the Mining Exchange sa-
loon, on Maine Street, where they
had been informed 0'Neill had a
sum af money on deposit in the
safe. There they secured seven
ty-one $40 bills. The money was
badly mutilated, giving every
evidence of having passed
through an explosion, The bills
were national bank notes of the
Conrad National Bank of Kalis-
pei, Montana.
O'Neill was locked up in the
county jail and the officers of the
bank in Montana communicated
with by wire. They telegraphed
back to hold O'Neill on a charge
of felony and TO hold Conrad Ma
tional bank paper as evidence.
That was on Thursday. Friday
they telegraphed for the names
of the bank officials on the bills
and the plate numbers. The lower
edge of the bills where these
names would be were so badly
burned that they could not be de-
ciphered, but the plate numbers
of three of the bills were wired.
Late in the evening Sheriff
Shirley received word that the
bills were some that had been
secured in a robbery about two
years ago, and asking if O'Neill
would be willing to go back to
Montana without requisition pa
pers. After communicating with
the prisoner the sheriff wired
that he would and received in
answer a message stating that
w. H. O'Connell, Sheriff at Kali
ispel, would start that evening
for Fallon.
The local officers believe that
in O'Neill they have one of the
principals of a daring holdup. A
STANDARD representative inter-
viewed O'Neill Saturday morning
in his cell in the county Jail. He
said that the whole thing was the
spitework of a man at Kalispel
who had it in for him over an af-
fair in which a woman figures.
Asked as to where he got the
bills, he refused to answer, but
said that he had been tried by a
jury in connection with them and
acquitted in short order. He said
that he would be back in Fallon
in a week after leaving here.
He intimated that the bills were
a part of a sum of money that
was being taken from Kalispel to
pay off the mill hands at place
called Sommers. 0'Neill said the
mill was owned by J. J. Hill of
the Great Northern railroad.
The true story will not be known
until the arrival of Sheriff 0'Con-
nell, when it is expected that
facts of a startling nature will be
forthcoming, which will connect
