DAVIS
GETS FOUR YEARS At McNEiLS
ISLAND FOR THEFT OF MAIL
SACK.

The jury in the case of Ed Davis
charged with stealing a mail sack
from off truck at the depot in Re-
no last December returned a verdict
OF guilty late yesterday afternon.
Today at 2 o'clock Judge Earring
ton sentenced him to serve four years
at McNeils Island, Washington. for
his crime. Attorney Sanford made a
plea for ieniency for his client citing
the fact that Davis was a middle
aged man and long sentence would
mean his leaving the prison a man
advanced in years. In sentencing the
prisoner Judge Harrington called at
tentiOn to the fact that outside OF
selling OF whiskey to Indian cases
more men had been indicted for rob-
ing the mails than for any other fed
eral offense and that an example
must be shown to stop the practice.
The COe case was then called and
jury secured to try him the second
time the former jury having disagreed
as to verdict. Coe is represented
by Attorneys Jones and Roberts.

SENATOR STEWART is DEAD
WILSON
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS THERE is PLENTY OF
WHEAT FOR AMERICANS.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson de-
ciares there is sufficient wheat in the
country at normal prices to make
bread for the Americans up to the
time when the new crop comes in.
And those who expect to keep prices
up expect to get their money out of
common people and consumers"
Secretary Wilson's remarks were in
reply to statements of James A Pat
ten of Chicago. Mr.. Patten not only
discredited the department estimate
OIL the wheat crop but said that the
supply of wheat was scarcer than the
governments estimates snow.
The reporters of the Department
of Agriculture are farmers living on
farms and know, if anybody knows,
and have knowledge, if anybody has
knowledge, of the facts" said the
secretary.
The large majority of wheat has
left the hands OF the farmers" con-
tined the secretary. "A fictitious
price has been created. The farmers
are not beneticiaries of such cOndi-
tions."

portion his head covered with a
wealth OF hair that might have adorn-

the most striking figure in the sena-
torial forum, where his powers Of or
atory and his clear judgement and
penetration called down upon him the
opposition OF no less a parsonage than

in single debate.
He was one of the three men who
drunken sleep, had Johnsons serv-
ants sober him up and stood by while
Johnson took the oath OF office the
night President Lincoln was assassin
ated. He was one of the coterie OF
men who compelled Johnson TO fore
go most of his bitterness TO the south
his lying promises We're broken.
He was the man to whom was
given the task of drawing an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States that should guarantee the right
OF suffrage to all citizens of the United
states, and that amendment, the short
tion remains one OF the finest pieces
of diction and the best examples OF
absolute incOntrovertible a nd una
mendable law ever placed upon any
statute book.
Stewart wrote that amendment with
a lead pencil. With his powerful
mind he guided ii through the intri
cacies of committe adoption, through
the parliamentary struggles of the then
greatest forum in the world and in
strict cOnfOrmance TO and accord

battle that TO" forensic greatness and
parliamentary strategy has never been
eQualled in congress.
1t was more notable fight than
that on the Fourteenth amendment
because it was carried on by one man.
Conkling had bitingly and in rather a
contemptuous manner, moved in COM
mittee that the whole matter of reSO-
iutions affecting tle right OF the negro
to vote be referred 10 the Senator
from Nevada" and Stewart, ready
for a fight with Lucifer h mself, ac-
cepted the gage. He killed all other
resolutions after incorporating into
his own the word "abridged" and one
or two changes in construction that
made the diction almost perfect.

affected the rights of the people and
particularly the welfare OF the South

art fought many a battle in the sem

Then came the Force bin whicl he,
more than any other one senator
defeated.
The history of his life since the
early seventies is more or less fa-
miliar. He espOused the cause OF
silver with all his ardent soul and
with John p. Jones. another giant
worthy of his confrere. the silver
question was kept alive for 20 years
in such a manner that every congress
feared the repeal of the act of de-
mOnetizatiOn passed in 1873, an act
that Stewart never ceased to call
The crime of '73."
Stewart won and lost two huge
fortunes in his business and legal
career. He cared little for money
except for the power it gave him. A
man who was the close friend of two
great president and OF three Others
had little time to indulge any idle
propensity for the amassing OF wealth
yet he amassed it twice and dispersed
it twice.
Five years ago Stewart was at the
end of his resources. He determined
. to retire from politics because. as
he said he did mot propose to hang

accident in Oakland. while he was
in Europe, seemed to make him long
for the friends of his early days.
This death was dOubly sad from the
fact that telegrams of coincidence,
sent by George Mills and others of
Carson City. reached him before news
OF his wife's death was broken to
him and for five days he did not
know what the kilograms meant.
With a four mule team and COM

BullfrOg, then just struck. His ,aN-

Soon after he came to Nevada he
