Petition Carrying Fifty-one Names Filed With Dis
 trict Attorney
LIST SENT BACK
 FOR MORE NAMES
Petition Fails to Meet Re quirements of Territor-
 ial Statutes

Residents of the northern part of the county who are fighting for local option have progressed with this campaign to the extent that a petition for special election has been filed with District Attorney Walter Shute.
 The petition was filed with the dis triet attorney for an investigation as to it's validity. It was found on inves. tigation to contain an insufficient num- Der of names, and as the result has been returned to the men who are promoting the local option fight.
 According to the territorial statutes, petition for q special election for To- cal optic nmust be signed by at least fifty qualified electors of the district affected This petition contained but fifty-one signers and as number of the names were not to be found on the great register, it will be necessary to secure several additional signatures be- fore the petition will have any force.
 It is reported that strong eoun- ter petition is being secured, to offset that of the prohibitionists.
 As the law requiring the calling of a special election by the board of super visors, upon the filing of the proper pc tition, seems to be mandatory, it is hardly likely that the counter petition will carry any weight, unless it be very strong.
 J. E. Thompson is at the head of the local option fight. If the desired elec. tion is called and majority of the voters are in favor of prohibition, all of the upper part of the county north of what is known as the old Reno road, will become "dry" district.
 According to District Attorney Shute Thompson is of the opinion that he will have little difficulty in securing enough additional petitioners to insure special election.

Hidden r-.a.ure In sEnsl..a.

In England when hidden treasure is found the law, requires the coroner to hold an inquest over it. Formerly it was a coroner's duty to hold an in quest in case of a, burglary. A statute of Edward I. decrees that when cor oners are commanded by the kings bailiffs or by the honest men of the county they shall go to the places where any be slain or suddenly dead or wounded or where houses are bro ken or where treasure is said to be found and shall forthwith command four of the next towns, or five, or six, to appear before him in such a place."
