SAYS CONTINUED MOTIONS FOR
TRIAL CONTINUANCEs IS
UNPRECEDENTED.

The frequency with which motions
for continuance of important trials
are made and are met with no opposi~
tion from theopposing counsel, was
the subject for considerable censure
spoken from the bench by Judge Pike
yesterday morning
The judicial wrath of the judge was
stirred over the motion by Attorney
VIM. s. Bonnifeld for a continuance
to the April term of court of the case
for murder against Thomas Wright,
alias Davis, which met with no OBJ
lection from District Attorney Duck
er, and which was then granted by the
court. but with i'll grace, as he ex-
planned, when granting the motion.
"This court is without a precedent
in the manner in which the attorneys
who practice herein seek delay in COM
ing to trial. stated the court. The
aim of the court was to have justice
meted out as soon as possible, he said,
and he called attention to the long
time that had elapsed since the com
mission of the crime in question and
the ample time there had been to get
ready for trial.
The expense of the county in get
ting ready for a criminal trial and
then have the trial continued formed
portion of his remarks. A venire
of Jurors summoned to court and then
being discharged because of the con-
tinuance of the cases they were to try
was not right nor proper.

BURNER
CAUSES MUCH DELAY

About two O'Clock this afternoon
when the last column for this issue
was being set, the gasoline burned
on the Silver State News type-setting
machine went wrong and considerable
loss of time was experienced in get
ting it in shape which is the reason
for the lateness of the paper today.
Ordinarily the paper goes to press at
four O'Clock and it should be
in the hands of the town subscribers
by five. IF it ls not received
by that time the management will con-
slider it favor to have the matter

ENeLAND's SHIP OF MYSTERY
NOW IN AMERICAN WATERS.
Prince Of Wales Visit to Canada Gives
Naval Officers Of United States
Chance to Crafty Their
Curiosity.

The prince of Wales has come TO
America. and incidentally has brought
with him England's great ship of mys'
terry, the Indomitable. or rather the
big, fast, all big gun battleship cruiser
has brought him to Canada to take
part In the Quebec centennial celebra'
ton, and the coming of the great
fighting ship will give our naval chiefs
the opportunity they have long wanted
of prying into the secrets of this yes
sci around which England has thrown
so much mystery.
This new ship, built on the lines of
the Dreadnought, is a combination of
battleship and armored cruiser, and,
what is more remarkable, she is re-
gard by those experts who have man.
aged to learn something of her armor,
armament, and speed as being eff
Client both as a battleship and as an
armored cruiser She is bigger than
any other completed battleship except
the British Dreadnought, and she is
swfter than any armored cruiser yet
sent afloat. Previous to her advent
our three fast scouts of the Salem
class were reckoned as the fastest war
ships in the world. OF this trio the
Bathbuilt Chester recently maintained
a gait of 1852 knots an hour. Designed
for speed of % knots an hour, this
British racer is now credited with 2S
knots.
The Indomitable is the first of the
all big gun -battleships to go
afoat. The Michigan. the first of our
all big gun just plain battleships, was
launched few weeks ago. The Michi-
gan is rated as 'Dreadnought." This
Dreadnought cruiser of Great Britain
carries a battery equal to that of the
Michigan, and her speed is such that
she can easily outrun any Of our much
boosted scouts.
AS the British Dreadnought revolu-
tionized naval construction, SO doubt
less will this new type of cruiser
Dreadnoughts revise naval pro-
grams. The Dreadnought is the most
powerful battleship now in existence.
She mounts ten 12-inch rifles. The In.
donitable carries eight guns of this
caliber, and in actual fire is equal to
the Dreadnought. Moreover, while the
Dreadnought has a speed of only 81
knots an hour, the Indomitable can
steam nearly six knots an hour faster.
And whereas the Dreadnought has
only 12.nounderc for ranalliuo torna
