RicRey's Charges


Tom Hickey has filed lengthy
affidavit in thes district court of ,Ormsby
county in,whickhe asks for a change of
.yenue4 He makes some sensational
charges in his affidavit. upon which the
Carson Appeal comments as follows:
Seldom has it happened that news
papers are give credit for bringing man
to Justice by the man himself, and the
affidavit of Thos B. Hickey extracts
from which are published in today's
Appeal is most convincing. asx.
Hickey confesses that he was in
absolute control of the State Bank g.
Trust Company. He confesses that
ninety per cent of the people of the
counties in which he did business regard
him as thief and bank wrecker. He
confesses that these people form the
bone and sinew and brain of the
commonwealth.
There is an old axiom that "The
people are always right" Another that
1.-THE voice of the people is the voice
of God"
If Hickey makes few more afidayits
he may yet find himself standing trial

Liquor Interests Ms1aced BY New inventor
The prohibition question may soon be
solved IN a peculiar way by science.
Saloons will have to 90, or at least lose
large per centage of trade. Engineer
Meardt, of Copenhagen, has succeeded
in solidifying beer ale and stout and
claims that he will soon have all other
liquors conquered in the same way.
He claims that one pound of his tablets
will make gallon of superior beer, ale
or stout by simply adding water, and
that tn ecost Tin Denmark will not
exceed one cent per bottle. The tablets
gan be made into any desired form,
such as chocolate bon bons, lozenges,
etc.
The revenue laws will have to be
changed to offer any. restriction to the
sale of the tablets. Prohibition laws
cannot reach them, and there you are
Now, one can say to the prohibition
league, in the language of Billy: "Now
look what you went and done" Beer
at one cent a bottle, whisky two drinks
for five cents and possibly champagne
for only 10 cents per bottle-wow.
Tablets will be so cheap that some of
those absent minded geniuses will be
slipping them into the collection trays
at church instead Of slot machine
checks 1t is to be hoped that we will
next have T-bone steaks at one cent
each and meal tickets in place Of trad
ing stamps.

investigating Mystery OF Mining Mans Death

Investigating Mystery OF Mining Mans Death
The Lincoln county grand jury is
investigating the mysterious death Of
Charles Todd, a Phoebe mining man,
whose body was found in we'll near
the home of julius Weir Sr. on June Z
last. ..., ....
Julius Weir ST., his wife, Mrs. Kate
Weir, and son julius Weir Jr., were
placed under arrest upon the suspicion
that they had murdered Todd and then
deposited the body in the we'll to cover
up the crime. "='''. '..@ "
At the preliminary hearing julius
Weir, Sr. and his wife were discharged,
but the son was held to the grand jury,
evidence having been introduced to
show that the latter and Todd had had
trouble.
1t was also proved at the preliminary
that Todd had $50 when last seen
alive, but when taken from the we'll
only few dollars in change were found
in his pockets.
Todd's body was exhumed on Friday
and it was found that the skull was
fractured on the left side, Indicating
that he had been struck with some
blunt instrument. The Weirs have told
several conflicting stories and the Of
ficers believe they are in possession of
evidence sufficient to fasten the crime
upon them. .
