WRIGHT DECLARED
NOT GUILTY

At 1890 o'clock last Tuesday even
ing Judge Pike read his instructions
to the jury in the case of Thomas
Wright, who was on trial for the kill
ing of Oscar Colwell and two hours
later the jury filed back into the
courtroom with verdict Of "Not
Guilty. The defendant was released
from custody and the long trial was
over.
The principal features Of the trial
was the addresses to the jury.
Self defense was the plea of the at
torneys for the defense. A number
of witnesses were introduced and
swore to being eye witnesses to the
shooting. The defendant himself also
swore that the negro, Colwell, was ad-
vancing on him with butcher knife
when he fired the fatal shot. Neither
these witnesses nor their testimony
had been hinted at in the preliminary
examination, and it came as COM
plete surprise to those who had been
following the case.
The argument was begun at seven
o. clock Tuesday evening and series
of brilliant addresses was made to the
jury by the attorneys for both sides.

ARE OUR GIRLS MAD?
WELL, I SHOULD SAY so
Elko Girls Call Basket Ball Game OF
And Also Called Winnemucca
Girls 'Unladylike.
Those who in quarrels interpose,

"Those who in quarrels interpose,
Must often wipe a bloody nose. -
Along about the fifteenth of May
there was to nave been a basket ball
game between the young ladies of the
Winnemucca high school and the
young ladies of the Elko high school.
There was to have been and there
might have been, but now there will
not be, and, '.of all the sad words of
tongue or pen, the saddest are these,
there might have been.
The game has been called off, and
instead of going up to play their Elko
cousins a friendly game of basket ball
writing to Fighting Bob Evans,
to see if they can charter one of the
big battleships to use on the Hum
boldt river to sail up to Elko and
there direct the big sixteen inch guns
against the Elko county high school,
and demolish the building along with
the sauey and impudent high school
girls.
The story of the quarrel is as fol
lows:
The Elko girls had challenged the
Winnemucca girls to game of bas-
ket ball, presumably in return for the
game played here last MAY on the
Winnemucca grounds. The home girls
accepted the challenge, upon which the
Elko girls replied, "'But it must be
understood that we play lady like
game" Following the remark with
some insinuations as to the kind of a
game which Winnemucca PLAYED last
year, and following these remarks
with still further criticism of the Win
nemucca girls. The Winnemucca girls
replied in kind. Elko talked back, and
Winnemucca said "You re another, !"
The mails were bristling with hot epis-
ties, until the solemn professor Of the
Elko high school stepped into the fray,
wrote long and staid communication
setting forth that Elko in considera-
tion of the bad treatement received in
Winnemuca would De forced to in
definitely postpone the proposed game.
Just where the trouble in the pres
ent fracus lies is undetermined, but
at any rate the Elko gorls have not
been game losers. The defeat receiv-
ed in Winnemucca last year was clean,
and our Winnemucca team merited
victory Elko should forget its de-
feat and should attempt to get to-
gether a winning team, instead of
pickering over the past.

DROVE THE FIRST WAGON
OVER OLD IDAktO ROAD
Robert Gillian, One Of 1.-THE Old Boys
Of '62,'' Returns After an Alb
sence Of 26 Years.

In May 1862 Robert Gillian arrived
in Virginia City, Nevada, from his
eastern home, and in August of that
same year he packed his blankets up
the canyon that leads to the town
of Unionville, then the only settlement
of consequence in northern Nevada.
After ten years residence in that Sec
tion of the state, in 1872, he left
Humboldt county. Last Tuesday he
arrived in Winnemucca after an alb
sence of 25 years, and beheld here a
growing city on what he once knew
as the French bridge, lonely sta
tion point.
Gillian is 70 years Of age, yet he
is hale and heaty and hopes to live
many more years. For sometime past
he has been residing at DEMO, Oregon,
and, although but comparatively
short distance from Winnemucca, he
has never visited this town since 1872
Gillian is possessed of a remarkable
memory and related to a News report
er many instances of pioneer life in
Virginia City and in that section of
the state. Gillian claims that he was
one of party that drove the first
wagon over the old Idaho trail. He
tells of an experience he had on one
occasion while travelling over this
road. One night when they had made
camp near what is now Cane Springs
couple of prospectors rode into camp
on foaming horses. The prespectors
were bleeding from numerous wounds
and were hotly rursued by a small
band of Indians. All hands seized
rifles and repelled the ,hreatened at
tack of the redski Is. The injured mon
were taken care Of aud a messenger
sent into Paradise Valley where Alec
Middleton, hitched up a wagon and
brought the wounded men back 10
town.

Activities Continue
Unabated at Golconda

week. The formation is the same red
porphyry as that of Gold Circle, in
fact it is believed to be a continuation
OF the same belt. So far there has
been no assays made, but from the
picture ore and from the paintings, it
is plainly to be seen that the rock is
wonderfully rich.
In lease no. 26 in the Snyder-Gordon
claims at Gold Circle a rich strike was
made. The average across the bottom
o. the shaft shows much better than
milling grade ore and a fairly wide
streak shows some sensational values.
Calvert, was quite seriously injured
last Monday. A piece Of hot steel
on which he was working blew up, hit
ting him in the right eye. After the
removal of the steel Mr.. Calvert left
for Reno to consult specialist. He
is now under the care of DR.. Cameron
of that place, who hopes to save the
sight of the eye.

THE PIN INDUSTRY.

The boy who said that pins saved
the lives of many people wnodid not
swallowed them, told only portion OF
the truth about the necessary and very
useful article.
We don't thing much about pins
until there comes a time when we
can't find them, and then the situa-
tion often gives rise to painful emo
tion sand forceful language. What
becomes Of the pins is a problem that
has been discussed for ages and new
impetus was given to the subject by
the report of the statistical bureau.
Figures are apt to be uninterest'
ing, but it certainly should be Of inter
est to note that the country manufac-
lures and imports something like 20,-
00O, 100000 year, with large num-
ber Of district not yet reported. On
a LIBERAL calculation that gives each
each individual about 225 pins a year,
or well nigh a pin each day. On this
basis the amount does not seem TO
be exaggerated, since pins are elu
sive to certain degree and are used
for many purposes The amazing part
of the matter is that in the last five
years we have about trebled our out
put. In other words, even allowing
for the increase in our population, we
use almost three times as many pms
as we did five years ago. What has
caused this notable increases
1t is a well known fact that the
masculine part of the Inhabitants deals
little in pins and the infants use the
SAFETY variety, which is not included
in our calculations. This means that
the average women are getting away
with pins at rate which is amazing,
and borders on the extravigant, for
she used to get along with moder-
ate number OF course. the modern
fashions have something to do with
this increase. Women do not button
their garments in these days. They
use hooks and eyes and pins galore and
they do not manage to save many Of
the latter. The point is that in every
family over 1000 pins disappear an
nually. One would think that in a
few years every home would become
brass mine, but it is certain that
pins are seldom that pins are discover
ed when lost-and what is more, in
these unregenerate days no one stops
to pick thehm up. Alas for the old
copy.book maxims, also for the clas-
sic story Of the uoy who picked up the
pin, was hired as Office ooy, and then
married his employers daughter. Such
things have gone to the limbo of dis
credited rules Of conduct, where they
have much good company.
The pin has become an institution
and is growing rapidly. 1t constitutes
the most numerous article which ap.
pears on the roll Of manufacturing and
still the pins seem to fade away. Like
the flowcrlets Of the field their use
fulness is soon past and the business
graws as carelessness increases. If
Poor Richard was alive he might fill
whole almanac with sage observa-
tions upon this subject, but no one
would read them or heed them, even
if in an idle moment them should so
far forget reeklessness as to absorb
pholosophic dissertations upon domes-
tic economy.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
