Rand let the branch spring back
and rode on, thinking. The or

ers, the lemon pickers; and a great
peace had settled upon the place.
Already the heat of the sun was
lessening, already the silent shad-
ows were creeping swiftly over
the broad fields. Behind the
mountains great shafts of light,
rainbow-hued, were quivering aloft,
painting the sky with thousand
differing tones, each more brilliant
than its fellow. A single, rocky
shaft seemed to pierce the very
armament itself, needle of glow
ing azure shadow, edged with
flame.
Rand had ordered the removal of
the dead animal from the high
road, and that, he knew, had been
attended to earlier in the day; but
he was thinking to find again that
spot and look the ground over,
hoping by chance to find some clew
to the girls assailant.
Instead. he found the ground al

much alive, were tethered to tree

mounted, was busy over the giant
water pipe, tightening loose

The body of a 1-months-old baby
that had been in the water about
week, was taken out of the river
opposite the city crematory last
night. 1t was fully clothed but
there were no marks on the gar

Labor and the Taft
Injunction Plank

The nominee of the Republican
party is Roosevelfs man Friday
Taft. Taft, a scholar and gentle
man, is known as the father of gov
ernment by injunction"
In every case but one in which
he handed down a decision affecting
the rights of labor, he has ruled
against labor
In every case wherein the shadow
of justification appeared he has re-
sponded, as a judge, to a prayer for
injunction to restrain the Common
People.
Under his candidacy the platform
needed no renewal of pledges made
four years ago, and no confirmation
of Roosevelt policies. Taft was will
ing to take the nomination upon any
platform that could hold together
well enough to bear his weight The
Chicago platform was the result and
the nomination of Taft was the Sc
uuence.

Arrested for Defraudine

ment

Postmaster Won Tiedman and wife
of Cortez, Lander county, have been
arrested and are now in Jail at Aus
tin, charged with robbing the Post
office at Cortez of about $4,000. The
preliminary hearing of the couple
will occur on Saturday and United
States District Attorney Sam Platt
leaves for Austin this evening to be
present.
The arrest of the couple followed
the arrival of a postal inspector who
discovered the shortage and which
could not be satisfactorily explained
except by the statement of the post
masters wife, who stated that the
postoffice had been entered and rob,
bed few nights previous. An exam
ination of the books disclosed the
fact that the missing money had been
sent to relatives of the couple ana
several orders were drawn in favor
of the postmaster. 1t is believed
that the money was taken in this
way in an endeavor to defraud the
government.

The National withdrew and the Act

SAYS POLICE BILL
WAS NECESSARY
Has Few Words for Flanigau and
Says There is Nothing Wrong
With the Record of NeWlandS

Casting to the winds the consid-
erations Of politics. Senator Nixon
last night In speech unmistakable
In It's directness and detail, placed
himself squarely in line with the rec
ord and principles already announced
by Congressman George Bartlett on
the question of the motives that led
to the passage of the State Police
bill and the justification of such ac-
tion II they need be.
In a discourse of more than an hour
which was listened to with rapt at
tention and marked interest by the
large audience the Republican Sena-
tor showed himself thoroughly in
favor Of upholding the law of the
land with his fellow representative
In the Congress of the United States.
Without being under the necessity
of submitting his record at this time
he too declared in emphatic words
that he was willing to stand or fall
with Bartlett and all the rest of the
verdict Of the people on this subject.
II have been told" said Senator
Nixon at the conclusion of his dis
course, which summed up in word
his stand. that II expressed in pub
lie what have said tonight, I would
be retired to private life, but I have
carefully weighed the whole problem
and can say that II the state of
Nevada does not belive In the prin-
ciple of the Police Bill-does not
believe in maintaining her own peace
and honor-I want to say that tempt
Ing as the position may be-great
as the honor Is prized-I don't want
to represent the state Of Nevada in
the United States Senate or in any
other public Office"
This was the epitome Of Senator
Nixon's discourse which was aimed
chiefly In explaining the conditions
that preceded the passage of the
State Police Bill and in arguing
against the defeat Of the bill by a
referendum vote or the condemnation
of those men who voted and worked
for the law.
Governor Sparks was eulogized for
his action In calling for aid and In
calling the special session. The Con

duty. All members of the State Leg
islature, the newspapers who sup
ported the bill and the private citi-
zens who devoted themselves to urg-
ing It's passage all came in for praise
and defense II need be.
Beginning In the spring of 1901.
at the time of Colorado trouble, Sen.
Nixon traced the history Of the min
ers and mine owners. and detailed
the steps for the passage Of the State
Police law.

and there may be mistakes in 1t.
These can be corrected but the prin-

Want Help
To Buy Foot

RENO, Oct. 16. - George Staley,
who last June, was shot through the
right ankle by officer Fife of the
Reno police force, on Monday night
hobbled into the City Council room
and, while supported on two crutch-
es, asked the Council to aid him by
buying him an artificial foot. He
stated that he was drunk on Mill
street last July and that officer Fife
a attempted to arrest him. He tried
to get away and after beating him
over the head with a club, officer
Fife shot him in the right ankle.
Later the county physicians had to
amputate the foot to save his life
The Council has promised to look in
to the matter further and will proba-
bly, buy the man an artificial foot
as the general opinion they secured
from the evidence offered was that
officer Fife was not justified in shoot
ing Staley.
RENO, Oct. 16-The City Council
of Reno has at last passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of NOR
phine, cocaine, opium and other
drugs of that nature in Reno, unless
the purchaser has a prescription
signed by practicing physician.
The Council has however passed a
resolution that the ordinance shall
not go into effect for 80 days This
is done so that the druggists, who
now have large quantities of these
drugs on hand, may dispose of them.
D. Robinson, president Of the Reno
Board of Health, stated before the
Council that within sixty days the
dope fiends, who are very plentiful
in Reno, will have either left the city
or will have all died from excessive
use of the drugs.
