A Nasty Mess

Editor Parker of the Battle Mountain
Herald is rather severe in his criticisms
of the treatment Elko gave the visiting
base ball clubs at the celebration. He
charges that the visitors were cold
decked at the start and jobbed all the
way through the tournament. Mr..
Parker denies that Battle Mountain
paid $1,000 for professional players, nor
as, much as Elko payed Witt and
Kelley, the Lovelock battery to throw
the game. He also claims that he saw
the $3.50 Witt and Kelley received. .
While the writer does not know any
thing about the inside workings of the
base ball tournament, candor compels
him to say that circumstance certainly
point to crooked work somewhere. He
does not believe the members of the
Elko club did the crooked work. If
Kelley and Witt were bought by Elko
money, that money was doubtless put
up by men who had bets on the game
and not by members of the club. :"
The whole matter is getting to be a
very nasty mess and the more it is
stirred the more it reflects upon Elko.
It is unfortunate that Elzo's invited
visitors should have any cause to feel
that they had not been given a square
deal.

Try This

An eastern exchange says: Bore a
quarter-inch. hole into the heart Of. a
fruit tree or any other kind of tree
that is infected with insects and fill the
hole full of dry sulphur and plug up the
hole. It will cure the blight, make the
tree strong and healthy and in no way
injure it," This is a valuable boon to
fruit growers, as the sulphur goes
through all parts of the tree, being
absorbed from the heart and makes a
good healthy color.

The inquiry into the mental condition
Of Joseph Mc1owan, who was tried last
last week and acquitted of the charge
of murder, resulted in Judge Brown
committing him to the Hospital for
Mental Diseases at Reno. The &C.
quittal of MCGOWAN on the ground of
insanity and his commitment to the
asylum meet with the approval of those
familiar with the case No one familiar
with the circumstances doubts that he
is insane on the subject Of mines and "a
dangerous subject to be at large. The
care and treatment he wal receive at
the asylum will benefit him physically
If it does not mentally. He gave his
age at rs years during the trial and
seems good for several more.

Find Happiness In Children.

Very domestic is the life of the Bel.
CLANS, and the children enter into
every sort of interest of the parents.
They would not think Of going to the
restaurant or summer garden without
the children, and their own pleasures
are often but the reflected ones of
their boys and girls. The father goes
to the circus with his little troupe of
young folks about him and enjoys
their joys. The har. ;iness of the peo-
