THREE MEN RUN OUT OF TOWN
J. Carter Miller, Formerly Of Eu-
reka, Gets Into Trouble at
Terrell, Nevada

Reports from the town Of Terrell in
the Seven Troughs district, Humboldt
County, give the details of the trouble
that occurred there on the night Of
February Z, when three residents Of
that place the next day were run out of
town. one Of whom being j. Carter
Miller, well known in Eureka, at one
time proprietor of the Brown Hotel and
the "Honky Tonk" Saloon on the cor.
ner of Main aud Bateman streets.
According to the statements made by
Sheriff Lamb of Humboldt County,
who recently returned from the scene
of hostilities. published in the Winnie.
mucca Star, it seems the origin of the
trouble was a row between Miller aud a
man named Hammond, who conducted
rival saloons opposite each other in the
town of Terrell, and bad blood had
existed between the men for some time.
Miller had the reputation of being a
gun-fighter. and his saloon was a resort
for bad characters.
Ga the night of February 8 Ham
mond's saloon building was saturated
with coal oil and set on fire, and bis
friends jumped at the conclusion that
Miller was the incendiary and the
citizens Immediately proceeded to run
him and two others out of town. Guns
were drawn. but there was no shooting.
Miller met Sheriff Lamb at Lovelock
and went back with him aud ~re-opened
his saloon. The Sheriff, after investi-
eating the affair, decided not to make
any arrests, but warned ali concerned
that they would have to keep the peace
hereafter or sand the consequences.
When the officer left Farrell peace
and quiet reigned between the contend
ing parties. but how long such a con
dition would exist was a matter of con.
lecture.

PUBLIC SCHOOL CENSUS REPORTS
Movement to Re-establish Bound
aries of School Districts in
Eureka County

Deputy Superintendent A. B. Light
foot has ASKED the Board of County
Commissioners to cooperate with him
in getting tie boundaries of the various
school districts in Eureka County es.
tablished in such a way that 1t can be
de initely known just where each dis.
trict lies.
Many of the districts have been or
ganized for more than 25 years, and in
some instances the boundaries were
never closely defined, so it is said to be
almost impossible to tell what property
is situated in q particular district, or
what children should appear on the
census roll.
Mr.. Lightfoot informs us that the
same movement is being made in sew
eral other counties. He states that
Lincoln and Churchill Counties are do
ing an especially large amount of work
along the line of reorganization, and
that in Humboldt and Churchill Coun-
ties blue-prlnts will be made showing
the boundaries Of all the school districts
in each county.
Our attention is also called to the law
in regard to the appointment Of School
Census Marshals as it appears in Sec.
IS. Page 392, Statutes 1907. which reads
as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the Board Of
School Trustees of each district to ap.
point a competent person over 81 years
of age as School Census Marshal before
the first day of March of each school
year and to notify the s uperintendeni
of Public Instruction of such appoint
ment Immediately after it is made.
before the School Census Marshal
shall enter upon the performance Of his
duties he shall take and subscribe &c
the oath of office, and such oath shall be
filed in the office of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction"
The census report for this year will
differ materially from those of former
years. there being a large number Of
additional questions to be answered
The blanks for taking the census viii
be issued directly from the Department
of Public Instruction to the Census
Marshals, so it is of vital Importance
that Trustees report their appointment
promptly.

sociated with tho R~othschilds, says the

After having operated extensively in

The claims in question. the first four Of
which are owned by J. B. Horton and
William Curtis, and the remaining four
by r. NJ. Horton, A. Wise aud Tom @.
Parker of Battle Mountain. are to be

ers of the Gem property to put in a

School Library Money Unused
To School Patrons and Trustees /:

To School Patrons and Trustees:
la locking mp the financial c%condition
of the various school districts in Eur ka
County / find that but one district has
used all of the library money ap.
portioned to it last July. This money
should be made use of each year, and
the earlier in the year the books are
purchased the greater will be the SER
vices obtained from them. II the
money is not used each year 1t is re-
apportioned, aud the district 10 which
it was first apportioned loses the bsne-
fit of its share in the library fund.
The law provides: "The moneys here
in designated and apportioned shall be
expended for the purchase Of books. APP
proved by the State Board of Educa.
ton, for the public school library OF
each district, aud for no other purpose,
and shall be paid and expended at
the other school funds of such district
are now paid ont"
The list of books furnished by the
State Board of Education is not such
list as would be best adapted to the use
Of the majority of our schools, and
should undergo an immediate revision.
However, there is no probability of this
list being revised or added to this year,
but If other good books than those
which appear on this list are selected
l think the State Board will not hest
tate to approve of their purchase.
