Sheriff Shirley Commits Suicide
4 Fallon dispatch Of the 9Th says:

A Fallon dispatch Of the 9Th says:
With a bible in his hand, having
taken off his shoes, Robert Shirley,
Sheriff of Churchill county, yesterday
sat himself on a pile of lumber near the
Fallon railroad station and blew off the
top of his head with a revolver. Mel
ancholia, brought on it is said, by the
fact he was accused of being short in
his accounts, prompted the rash act.
A wife and IL children are today
bowed in grief over the act of the
husband and father. They say there
was absolutely no reason for his self
taking off, and are bitter in their con-
domination of the people who accused
him of peculation.
Shirley was reelected Sheriff in
November, but he found that his friends
had gone back on him, and is said to
have been refused bonds by them. The
outlook was black for the officer, and
it is presumed this inability to secure
bondsmen, and the accusations of
endorsement, so weighed on his mind
as to render him mentally unsound
However; he did not hint at suicide,
and his action was shock to Fallon.
just before II o'clock yesterday
morning, Shirley was seen TO make his
way to lumber pile near the depot.
Before he reached there he removed
his shoes and carried them in his hand,
bible being beneath his arm.
Seating himself on the lumber, and
before anyone could interfere, the
Sheriff drew revolver and aiming it
at his temple, pulled the trigger. An
instant later he fell back dead, the top
of his skull having been carried away
by the charge.

New Standard Railroad Watch

Railroad men on the Salt Lake
division are somewhat exercised over
an order that has been promulgated by
the general superintendent which is
in circular No. 21O, and operative be-
ginning january 1, says the Sparks
Forum.
1t pertains to watches that the men
are using. Men affected by the new
order include the following classes of
employment:
Conductors, brakemen, fagmen. en-.
ginemen, hostlers, agents, operators,
engine foremen, section foremen, extra
gang men, bridgemen, tower men,
switch tenders, signal supervisors,
signal Manufacturers, yard masters and
assistant yardmasters.
All road men are required to register
with the watch inspectors at least twice
a month and receive their cards from
the Inspector.
Inc new order requires that all the
railroad employees above named must
be IN possession of watches of any
standard make which cover the follow
ing specifications:
Sixteen to eighteen size railroad move
ment, seventeen rub OF sapphire Jew
els, Breguet hair spring, patent regula-
tor, steel escape wheel, lever-set, double
roller escapement, five-position adjust
ment. The principal new feature that
is not in the old watches is the double
roller escapement.
While the company does not say that
an employe shall be compelled to buy
this or that watch, yet it is generally
understood that the watch inspectors
are given to understand that they should
endeavor to sell the Ball watch if DOS
sible. Webb G. Ball is general watch
Inspector of all the Hartman lines with
general Offices in Cleveland Ohio.
While the men do not openly charge it,
yet they as much as proclaim that the
general inspector has been sanctioned

nate.

THE EARTHQUAKE
SUFFERERS
Elko County Should Re-
spond to the Call
For Relief

Several cities and towns i'm the state
are taking up collections for the relief
of the suffererers by the recent earth
quakes in Italy. The need of immedi-
ate relief to these people is urgent and
what is done should be done quickly.
Imagination fails to picture the
horrors, suffering and misery caused
by the earthquakes. Hundreds of thou.
sands of people were killed outright and
other thousands were MANNED and
rendered incapable of supplying their
necessary wants. Add to this, the
destruction of property, amounting to
millions upon millions of dollars, and
we get u faint glimpse of the awful
condition of those stricken people.
The suffering and misery have touched
the hearts of the people everywhere
and golden stream of coin and vessels
loaded with food, clothing, medical
supplies, etc.; are hurying toward the
Italian shores. On Monday, the con-
gress of the United States voted $780,
600 for the relief of these people. This
act was a generous reply of this great
nation to the call for relief.
But aside from this generous response
of the nation there is much for the
people to do. Elko county has never
failed to respond to the call for the re-
lief of suffering. She responded nobly
to San Francisco's call. Of the fund
then subscribed, we understand there is
sufficient money on hand to donate $500
to the Italian sufferers
The INDEPENDENT believes it voices
the sentiment of every donor of that
fund when it urges that $500 of the
money now on hand be forwarded at
once to the Red Cross Society of New
York as Eako cottnty's donation to the
Italian relief fund Send it and let it
minister to the wants of these suffering
people.
