GRAND JURY
IGNORES THE
WARREN CASE

The ignoring Of the case Of Attor-
ney Harry Warren and his son G.. r.
Warren on a charge of assault with
intent to kill, the finding of a true
bill for murder against Tom Davis
who killed Oscar Colwall in the res
taurant of the Club saloon, the find
ing Of true bill against Tom Ho-
gan on a perjury charge, and the ig-
noring of the charge of assault with
intent to kill against Jake Yeick, was
the substance of Che -artial report
of the grand jury which was returned
at noon today.
The defendants in the indicted
cases were brought into court for ar
raignment at one O'Clock today. c.
E. Robins appeared as attorney for
the defendant. Hogan, and William s.
Bonnifeld for the murderer, Davis.
Both attorneys asked until tomorrow
morning at ten % clock in which to
plead to the respective indictments,
which was granted by the court.
There is no doubt of the intention
of Davis to plead not guilty. to the
murder charge, and a long legal bat
tie to save the man from the hang
man. moose will be resorted to.
The action of the grand jury in dis
missing the Warren case was not a
surprise, as 1T was confidently ex-
pected that the evidence in the case
would prove that in so far as Attor-
ney Harry Warren was concerned,
there was no cause for action.
For the first time since the trouble
occurred, Attorney H. Warren gave
out statement for the press today
He said he felt deeply outraged by
the proceedings, and that further than
expressing his thankfulness that the
matter had receiver the consideration
of an intelligent and representative
grand jury, he did not care to say
anything, preferring to leave the
right of the matter to the general pub
lie.
Mr.. Warren stated that the evi-

action of the grand jury in dismissing
the case and rointed to the testimony
of Mr.. Brandon on page 80, where in

Two Businesses Will Consolidate and
Be Conducted on New and I'm

Two of the Oldest business houses
in Winnemucca were consolidated at
noon yesterday when the Morris Hof-
man company purchased the business
of F. c. Robins and company. The
particulars of the deal have not been
made public, but it is understood
ken over the entire stock and bust
ness of F. G. Robins, and will con-
solidate it with their own, operating
the two houses in the Robins building
on which they have a long lease. Mr..
Robins will retire from the mercantile
business.
The Morris Hoffman company al
ready have possession of the purchas-
ed property, and are now arranging
for a clearance sale of unusual size
They will shortly commence the re-
modelling of the Robins store building
New plate glass fronts are to be in
stalled. cement sidewalks laid. In
fact, new and improved methods will
characterize the operation of the two
houses under the management of the
one firm. 1t is expected that by the
first of May the Morris Hoffman com
pany will occupy their new quarters,
which is destined to be one of the
most handsome in Winnemucca.
There is something of interest in
this transaction outside of the i'm
portance as a mere business change.
The two stores are land marks in the
history of Winnemucca business
houses. They have been competitors
for years and the back volumes of the

FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD
Will Be Succeeded by A. M. Latta,
Who is Eminentlv Fitted to Fill
the Duties Of the Position.

After ten years of careful supervi.
sion Of the work of the Winnemucca
public schools, during which time his
work has been most commendable and
satisfactory, w. A. Brown retires this
morning as clerk Of the board of
school trustees, and A. M. Latta has
been appointed by State School Super
intendent Ring to succeed him.
The remarkable growth of the Eagle

ca, of which Mr.. Brown is the con-
trolling head and which now COM
mands almost all his attention has
been, in the main, his reason for seek

Fortunately, however, his place is to
be filled by man eminently fitted
to faithfully fill the duties Of the
position. Mr.. Latta is a successful
business man, having directed the
large business of the Peoples store
in Winnemucca during his residence
here of ten years. He has also been 4
school teacher, and has taught in diff.
ferent schools of the state and should
therefore be well acquainted with the
duties of school trustee
The Winnemucca schools are now in

getic, and imbibed with successful
business principles to carry it on,
and, unfortunate for the F.. c. Robins
business, his sons fancied other lines
of achievement, so as the years crept
upon him there was no one on whom
to lay part of the business RESPONSE
bilities. And of late years he has felt
more and more disposed to retire from
active business life However, his
business has never ceased to prosper,
while honesty and fair dealing has
ever been it's motto. The loss of F.
G. Robins in the mercantile business
in Winnemucca is like the destruction
of an old land mark.
But the change will be happy one.
The Morris Holman company, in
corporated, of which w. HI. Duncan,
another of Winnemucca sterling
young business men, is junior mem

firm is a testimonial of the mutual
good will extant between it and the

MATERIAL WITNESS
Missing
OF FRESNO
LOOKING FOR G. j. MOLTER
Was Interested in Mining Claims in
This County, and Is Wanted to
Testify in Murder Trial.

Constable w. s. McSwain of Fresno
and deputy sheriff of the California
county of that name arrived in Win
nemucca the forepart of this week
seeking information of the wherea-
bouts Of Charles j. Molter, who was
known to be in Humboldt county last
fall, and who owns some valuable
mining claims in the Seven Troughs
district
Molter is one Of the most important
witnesses in a famous murder case
which is to come up Tor a new trial
in Fresno county next month, and the
authorities there are very anxious to
have him present to testify at this
trial.
His presence at the trial is SO
earnestly desired that special officer
has been detailed to come to Hum
boldt county, Nevada, where he was
last heard of, and try and locate him.
The case that is to come up for trial
is one of the most atrocious that has
ever occurred in Fresno county, the
land of famous criminals An old
couple, living just outside of the
town of Fresno, were foully murder
ed one night, the intent being rob-
ueIy. Aithougn tne perpetrators OF
of the dastardly deed secured only
$3.50 for the foul deed, the crime was
one marked by special evidences of
brutality. The bodies of the victims
were hacked and cut to pieces.
Suspicion fastened on two worth
less characters. who were convicted,
and given the death penalty after
lengthy trial. The case was appealed
however, and a new trail granted on
tehcnical error.
Molter was one of the witnesses
who saw the men charged with the
cvrime near the house of the aged peo-
pie on the night Of the commission
of the foul crime, and his evidence
is almost indispensable. He is des-
cribed as an elderly man about so
years of age, and his vocation is that
of prospeetor and mining man.
Any information concerning Molter
should be sent to the sheriff office,
Humboldt county. Immediately.

ESTATE
Of PIONEER

Considerable interest is being mani
Tested in the settlement of the estate
of John Lee of Wadsworth by MANY
Sparks people who knew the merchant
pioneer.
IT has been authoratively stated
that the estate amounts to $3.50 900
cash in San Francisco, and $40. 900
cash in Reno, besides his Wadsworth
property and considerable amount
of real estate. He was a member OF
the great firm of Murphy Grant and
Company of San Francisco.
In the early California days when
Lee, Murphy and Grant were among
the gold hunterson the Yuba river,
they became acquainted, and when
Murphy and Grant sought to engage
in business in San Francisco. it was
principally Lees money that enabled
them to do so. During all these years
the only wish that Lee was ever heard
to express concerning the disposition
of his body, was that it should lie
beside that of his old friend Murphy
Together Lee and Murphy attended
the Paris exposition. While abroad
Lee met his nephew, Boyd, the only
relative he was known to have living
Upon his return he spoke to his old
friends as though Boyd would get
only small portion Of his vast os.
tate.
For as many as fourteen wears be-
fore his death Lee was tenderly cared
for and nursed by a Wadsworth lady
who lived mostly at his house and pre-
sided over the establishment as his
housekeeper. For half an hour be-
fore his death Lee tried to talk. and
1t was plain that he wished to say
something about the patient, silent
minister to his last wants, but death
cut him off before he could make
known what he wished to say. and
the woman was left unprovided for.
1t would seem unmerciful if some pro-
vision was not made by the admins
tration for her
Lees life was unusual. To be the
possessor of almost half million of
wealth and still remain with a littl,
trading store in little town, cut of
like Wadsworth is, seems unusual. N,
doubt, however, Lees greatest pleas
ure was in the presence of the old fl
miliar place and the companonship

hVi pcdCt OMceTS humboldt county
has paid $13l9.90, for the month of
January.
For the corresponding month Elko
county paid the following correspond
ing bills
To her five justices OF the peace she
paid an average of $79.67 per month
To her five constables she paid an
average of $12932.
For printing and supplies for the
month OF January, Elko county paid
$2460.
The reason why Humboldt county
pays such high salaries and supply
bills, and Elko county runs her gov
ernment economically is because Hum
boldt county is wealthy and Elko
county is very poor. That is-this
is the appranent reason. But the
fact of the matter is, Elko county is
one of the wealthiest counties in the
