MORGAN PROBABLY INSANE.
Made Commotion in Saloon Sunday
Through Careless Exhibition
of Gun.

For doing a wild west stunt in
the Apex saloon Sunday afternoon,
James Morgan, who was released less
than a month since on the charge of
insanity, was yesterday given fine
of $50 or 80 day jail sentence. He
chose the latter.
According to testimony offered at
the trial yesterday, Morgan pulled a
80 caliber revolver from his pocket
and fourished 1t about the saloon.
There was an instant scattering, as
it was thought he was about to shoot.
He returned the pistol to his pocket,
but few moments later again pulled
it. This time the crowd which had
reassembled was sure that he would
shoot and separately, distinctly and
collectively sought places of safety.
Arthur Luehesi was called In and
after throwing the man on the floor
disarmed him. Later he turned Nor
gan over to Constable Wilson.
Morgan claimed that he was mere
" pulling the revolver from his
pocket for the purpose of exhibiting
it to the bartender. to whom he
wished to pawn it. His actions at
the time belied his story, however,
and the sentence was given him.
In the belief of the officers Morgan
is undoubtedly insane and it is prob
able that he will be tried on lunacy
charge before he is through with his
sentence. When held before he la
bored under the delusion that some
one wanted to kill him.

White Pine county's bonds should
not have to go begging. Certainly 1t
should not be necessary to pay any
concern a bonus in order to dispose
of them at par. There is heap of
gall in such a proposition. With the
enormous backing the county has in
resources and the wide knowledge
the world of finance has of these
resources, it is absurd to believe that
with proper effort in the direction of
securing bidders, If the bond issue is
legal in its terms, there might not be
many offers readily obtained at and
