E ]. L. Taber.

%. j. L. Taber, the republican can
didate for district attorney, is an Elko
boy Nearly all his life has been spent
here. His early education was received
in the Elko public school. Leaving
that he passed through several institu-
lions of learning and finally received
diploma from the Columbia law school
in 1904. After his graduation he re-
turned to Elko and entered the Office of
Judge Harrington. He has built up
good practice and is thoroughly equip
ped for the Office Of district attorney.
Enrol Taber, as the writer knew him
in the Elko public school from 1885 to
1891, was "a bright, active, honest boy.
His record since then is without a flaw.
He is a hard, tireiess worker in his pro-
fession and never says quit so long as
he sees ray of hope. AS prosecutor
of criminals, he will do his duty fear
Iessly,
Although Mr.. .Taber. is on the opIpo-
site side of the political fence from the
writer, and this is the only thing we
know against him, his misguided judg-
ment on political affairs is not of suffi-
Gent moment to cause US to withhold a
need of praise from our former pupil.
Enroll Taber, although republican,
is Q worthy, honorable young man, who
will serve the people faithfully and
well, if elected. With this, we leave
his case to the Judgment of the voters
of the county.

Tramp Nearly SuiIocaied.

A man with both legs off at the knees
struck town yesterday and proceeded to
fill his hide with booze. He became
noisy and mean and Constable Ouder-
kirk locked him up in the old Jail
late in the afternoon. He had not been
in the cell long before he began to
yell fire" Mr.. Shirley who was
coming down from his home heard the
cry and run to the mans assistance.
When he got to the cell, he found burn
ing blankets piled against the cell door
He started to call Sheriff Clark and met
him at the door of the courthouse. The
sheriff ran after bucket of water, but
before he returned Mr.. Shirley had
squelched the fire with water from the
cooler that sets in the hail. The lock
on the cell door was broken off with an
ak and the man was taken out nearly
dead. He soon revived and said that
he did not know how the fire started
unless it started from lighted cigarette
that fell from his mouth while he was
asleep.
Judge Burce heard the cry of fire
before Mr.. Shirley's arrival and notified
Sheriff Clark. In few minutes more,
the man would have died from
suffocation.

"May Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent
On August %, 1907, Mr.. n. F.. Miles,
