JUDGE STEVENS IN
DICTED in BANK CASE
Offers Resignation toXGovernor
DiCkerSon Who Refuses to
Accept the Same

Judge Stevens, recently appointed
to the District Judgship of this State,
for the Seventh Judicial District, was
in town Saturday and that evening
departed for Goldfield to assume his
Office. While in this city he rendered
his resignation to Governor Dicker-
son but the same was refused by the
Governor. Stevens has been indict-
ed by a Colorado court out of the
failure of bank in which he was in
terested, and the Judge, while dis
claiming any part in the failure of
the bank, rendered his resignation to
the Governor, believing that the ap-
pointment might work a detriment to
himself and the Governor under the
existing circumstances.
The Governor has stated that he
will await further developments in
the matter owing to the fact that
Stevens was located in Nevada six
months prior to the failure of the
bank and also that when the bank
failed he turned over all his property
in an effort to save the depositors and
stockholders.
A telegram from Ouray, Colorado,
has the following concerning the clos
ing of the bank and the part in the
same taken by Judge Stevens:
OURAY, Colo, Dec. 12.-Former
District Judge Theron Stevens, who
was indicted on nine counts growing
out of the failure of the defunct Bank
of Ouray as it's vice president and
who came here at once from Nevada
on hearing that capiases had been
issued, gave bond for his appearance
and has returned to Nevada where
he has been appointed a judge of the
new district court created there.
With him were indicted George R.
Hurlbut, president, and Frank P.
Tanner, cashier, the charge being
that deposits were accepted when
they knew the bank was insolvent.
Owing to the prominence of the par.
ties, especially ex-judge Stevens, pio-
neer jurist, and one of the best known
men in Colorado, the news has caus.

DONATION
Is RECEIVED
For Virginia City School
of Mines From G.
Mackay

Virginia City is rejoicing over the
gift by Clarence ackay of the sum of
$3.50 to be used in improving the
physics and hemistry laboratories
OF the city High School there. The
gift came yesterday to Superintend-
ept J. v. Comeford as a Christmas
present from the son Of John w.
Mackay, who laid the foundation for
his fortune in the mines on the Com
stock over score Of years ago.
The gift marks an epoch in Vir
ginia's history, being the first return
to come to Virginia itself of all the
countless treasure taken from her
hills in the bonanza days. Death
stilled the hand of John w. Mackay
at time when his thoughts turned
to the old home, but now the son
whose memory has turned to his ma
tive State, is eager to do something
for the town, in assisting in the edu.
cation of the sons of his fathers for
mer comrades.
Those who knew him, felt that Clar-
ence Mackay would not stop with his
princley gift to the University of Ne
vada, but felt that the visit to Vir-
ginia at the time of the dedication of
he Mackay statue and the School of
Mines, would be productive of good
for the Comstock.
This hope has now been fulfilled,
and it is believed the initial gift is
only a beginning of series of bene-
factions, from the estate of Virgin
las former citizen.
The money will enable the High
School to be placed on high plane
of efficiency and the gift at this time
will do much to keep green the memo
ries Of the leader of the Big Four of
early days, Mackay, Fair, Flood and
O'Brien.

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
APPEALSTONEVADANS
Asks Aid in the Fight Against
Southern Pacific Being Waged
by f. r. Commission

To the Commercial Clubs. Mer'
chants, and Citizens Of Nevada:
Gentlemen For many years the
growth and prosperity Of the State
OF Nevada, and that portion of Cali
<, fornia east of the Sierra range, have
been retarded and held back. and the
cost of living made unnecessarily
high by the unjust, excessive and dis
criminative rates of freight charged
to all parts of the State; not only on
the necessaries of life but on every
thing that tends to the making and
upbuilding of the State.
All efforts to have the freight rates
to he State reduced SO as to permit
It's people to prosper and the differ
ent communities within the State to
grow have 80 far been ignored, and
to use the expression published in
one Of the leading California dailies,
sad to have emnated from the San
Francisco Merchants Exchange,
while we admit that Nevada Is now
charged exhorbitant and unjust rates
OF freight, yet, we have the State by
the throat, with a strange hold, and
do not propose to release that hold"
Some months ago the citizens Of
Reno. backed by the Commercial
Club. petitioned the State Railroad
Commission Of Nevada to present the
case Of the People Of Nevada to the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
Washington, in consequence Of which
the State Railroad Commission, on
behalf Of the citizens, filled complaint
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company and allied Ines,
asking the Interstate Commerce
Commisson to grant hearing looking
to the fair and equitable adjustment
of freight rates to this State.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has acknowledged the peti.
tion and will give hearing in the
near future. the exact date Of which
has not been settled.
The State Railroad Commission Of
Nevada. assisted by corps Of able
rate men have been working hard for
some time past tabulating these diff
ferent rates and making comparisons
so as to present a strong case when
the hearing Is held. What we ask 10:
to be placed on the same basis as
other States. such as Utah. Idaho,
Montana and Washington, all Of
which have intermediate terminal
points within the State, and in con-
sequence Of which. hey have grown
: and prospered and heir resources

ed big sensation. Since his defeat
for reelection to the district court
two years ago, judge Stevens has
made his home in Nevada.
When he learned OF the investiga-
tion being conducted and the possibil-
tiles of his indictment he wired the
Sheriff to the effect that the county
would not be put to the slightes ex-
pense. "Just notify me and l will
hasten back" he is said to have tele-
graphed.
Whether word was sent to Judge
Stevens of the indictment is not
known, but when he arrived the capi-
ases were served on the three men,
who gave bond; Judge Stevens and
Hurlburt in the sum of $4,000 each
and Tanner $4,000.
The Grand Jury which returned the
indictments against the three bank
ers is reported also to have indicted
others, but no arrests have been made
and none of the officials in posi-
ton to know will commit themselves
on the subject.
The probing board was called by
Judge Sprigg Shackelford and was in
session from last Wednesday morning
until Friday night. Their report was
made to Judge Shackleford Saturday.
They are said to have been voted as
unit on the indictment of the bank
ers. The sympathy of the community
is with Judge Stevens, whom the peo-
pie believe had no active part in the
management of the bank and really
did not know the condition of the
institution They also take the view
that the law undoubtedly has been
violated and that duty requires an in
vestigation to be made.
The Bank of Ouray closed it's doors
in June of 19O7.The deposits amopnt-
ed to approximately 100000. The
first report made by the bank Off
cials placed the assets of the firm at
$4,000, but in the year and a-half
intervening the receiver has been
able to realize only 43 1-3 per cent of
the depositor's money.

SOLD LIQUOR
TO MINOR
Damaria, Saloon
, Keeper is Placed
Under Arrest

A warrant for the arrest of A.
Damaria, proprietor of the old Reker
saloon, was sworn to to-day by John
Glanzmann and the saloon man has
been placed under arrest. The charge
is for selling liquor to minor, Paul
Glanzmann. He was taken before
Justice Folsom who held him to ap-
pear under $3.50 surety bond or $100
cash bond. At the time of going to
press Demaria has not secured the
necessary amount and was in the
hands of the officials.
1t is claimed that this practice has
been going on for some time past
and that minors can obtain all ~
liquor they desire. The officers have
done all in their power to stop il anu
the action taken to-day will probably
result in a cecessation of the prac-
tice.
Not being able to secure the neces-
sary bail Demaria appeared late this
afternoon and plead guilty to the
charge and was fined $50 or 25 days
in the County Jail by Judge Folsom.
He will probably pay his fine and Sc
cure his freedom.
OUTPUT OF COMSTOCK
For the seven days ending Saturday
the output of the Comstock Lode was
76O cars of ore weighing 61S tons and
valued at $1S,O22.22.

A Mysterious Boomina.

A strange phenomenon is that of tho 90 called guns of Burrlsaul' in h. dia. Burrisaul is station in the Sum- derbunds, the marshy delta of the Ganges, region covered with vast and luxuriant jungle of tropic vegeta- ton. Here in the rainy season there is occasionally heard loud, booming noise like the discharge of distant ar tillery. It seems to come from the south, but if one follows the sound in that direction it's apparent distance does not diminish. Travellers have suggested that 1t may be produced by the heavy surf of the monsoon season laundering on the shores of the bay of Bengal or on an island, but the place of its origin has never been identified, nor has 1t been explained why the roar of the waves should be heard 90 much farther inland here than oD oner coasts.
