CHURCH
CONSECRATED

Wednesday evening Rt. Rev. Henry
r. Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of Ne
vada, assisted by Archdeacon E, Lester
Hazlett, consecrated the church of
Saint Mary the Virgin After the cere-
mony had been concluded the Bishop
confirmed class of six adults, which
had been prepared by the Archdeacon,
which was followed by the administer
ing of the sacrament Of holy COM
munion.
The Bishop then preached a sermon,
which was more in the nature of talk,
containing much good advice to the
new converts. The occasion was the
Bishops first appearance in Winnie
mucca since his return from the east,
where he spent time in New York, af-
forwards officiated as Bishop of
Philadelphia, during the time Bishop
Whitaker was incapacitated from at
tending to the duties of his exalted
office.
The local Episcopal church is now in
very fourishing condition, with about
forty communicates. Without a con-
gregation or funds, band of devoted
ladies took up the work of building
church and persevered until they now
have a very cosy little building, and
are entirely free from debt.

CLARK RECEIVES 3O-YfAR SENTENCE.
COAX GETS MAXIMUM OF 10 YEARS

The past week has been a very busy
time in the District Court Monday
morning Judge Breen,of Eureka, sitting
for Judge Pike, took up the case of
Dave Williams, known as "Big Boy.
Tuesday evening the jury returned a
verdict of acquittal
Wednesday, upon his return from
Reno, Judge Pike charged the grand
jury, and Thursday morning took up
the case of State of Nevada VS.. Tina
Cobey, charged with the murder of her
paramour at Chafey some weeks ago.
At a late hour this afternoon a jury
had not been secured.
At 10 o'clock this morning Patrick
Coax, recently convicted of man
slaughter in connection with the muir
der of Sol Hendra at Chafey last De-
cember, came up for sentence. Attor-
ney Campbell argued a motion for
new trial, which was denied. Defend
ant was then given the maximum sen
tence of 10 years in the penitentiary.
This afternoon, at o'clock, Bernard
Clark, convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree for the killing of Sol Hen
dra, was brought to the bar of the court

900 of the bonds must be redeemed
within the first three years, and there
after $4,000 each year until paid. Af-
ter five years, on the basis of the pres
ent valuation, the town tax rate would
have to be increased $3.50 on the 800,
making a total town rate of $275 as
against % cents at present. This year
the total for all purposes, including
county and state, is $500 on the 800
valuation. With the sewer bonds to
take care of, in five years it would ap-
proximate $3.50.
M. Reinhart-Every good citizen
should certainly favor any improve
ment calculated to elevate humanity.
However, before we assume large
bonded Indebtedness the question
should be thoroughly discussed by our
taxpayers and several important points
satisfactorily determined. If sufficient
water can be provided and the i'm
provement will not require an over
burdensome tax rate, then we should
go ahead with it. But considering our
small assessed valuation and the un-
settled conditions of certain proposed
extensive additions to our business in
terests and to our population, | hardly
think the time opportune for inaugural
ing sewer system. BY postponing tb ,
matter for time, we will be much bet
ter prepared, in every way, to make
the needed improvement a success.
j. Sheehan, Cashier First National
Bank-I believe that the time has er-
rived when Winnemucca should have a
sewer system. Not only would the
public health be safeguarded thereby,
but the improvement would add materi-
ally to our comfort and give us a high
er civilization. Should the question
carry at the coming election, it does

ed that judgment be postponed until
such time as counsel could secure a
complete transcript of the trial, from
which they might secure data upon
which to base their motion for new
trial. Motion denied.
Defendant Clark was then ordered by
Judge Pike to stand up. After review
ing the history of the case, the court
asked the prisoner if he had any legal
reasons to offer why sentence should
not be pronounced. At this point At
torney McCarron arose and made a
motion for new trial, which was de-
MED.
Bernard Clark was then sentenced to
30 years in the penitentiary.

ant water at depth of seventy feet.
There is one well there now that has
never been dry although under the
drain of gasoline plant. A combina-
tion of all these various supplies would
be perhaps adopted. We shall soon in
vite the country, most likely, to send
their children for training to a pro-
posed high school, This is another
reason why the bonds should be voted,
for with clean and healthful conditions
people will not fear to come here or
send their children, but as long as the
place is as it is, we must not expect
any addition to our population or SUBJ
stantial progress in any direction. Yes,
l am for the bonds, for to my mind the
proposed system is long stride in the
direction of ultimate decency and
cleanliness, and because it will build
up Winnemucca and make of it safer
and pleasanter place to live.
G. w. Carty, of the Busch Hotel
am decidedly in favor of sewer sys-
tenn, and am one of the original advo-
Gates of the proposition. So far as in
creased taxes are concerned, l do not
believe that question should be serious
ly considered in a matter of such vital
importance to the towns best inter
ests.
H. A. Gilbert-I am opposed to the
sewer, for the principal reason that the
town is not large enough for the inn
provement and it would make taxes
too high. The sum of 100000 mention
ed in the law as the maximum bond
issue would not begin to cover the cost
of a proper sewer system.
w. L. Wilkinson, of the Shone House
i believe we have started in at the
wrong end of the proposition. We
should first have considered the details
and assured ourselves that we had
sufficient water for the improvement
and estimate the approximate cost, be.
fore voting to run the town into debt to
the tune of 100000 or any other sum
DR.. Samuels-Although we have had
no typhoid to speak of for three years
sewer is necessity. Whether or not
| shall vote for the proposition am un
able to state, as | have not as yet had
time to familiarize myself with the de
tails of the proposed plan.
G. f. Haviland-A sewer system
would be great blessing to the town
One child's life is not to be compared
with the cost. However, at the pres
ent time, after taking everything int
consideration, l do not believe we ar,
prepared to make the Improvement.
F. G. Robins-Bridge street, from tn,
railroad to the river, should have a sew
er, but taking increased taxation ant
other important matters into considera
tion, it would perhaps be well to defe
the Improvement for year or two.
w. F. Pearce-I have not given tn,
sewer question any serious considera
tion, but, provided sufficient water car
be furnished shall be in favor of tn,
proposition.

not necessarily follow that the bonds
must be issued and begin drawing in
terest at once. In my opinion a COM
mission of three men should be appoint
led, at least one of whom should be a
competent civil engineer, to investi-
gate the water and other questions.
Should they report favorably on the
proposition, then bonds in sufficient
sum could be sold to complete the
work Should their decision be un-
favorable, we should drop the matter
until such time as the improvement
might be deemed feasible. So far as
the question of taxes is concerned, it
is mere bagatelle compared to the
benefits to be derived. But $4,000 of
the bonds, under the law, are to be re-
deemed during the first three years,
which would amount to but about ST.
| 700 annually. At the end of that time
our assessed valuation should have in
creased to such an extent that the
necessary additional tax would not be
seriously felt by our property owners.
A. Pasquale-By all means let us
have a sewer. Not little pipe line,
which will require frequent flushing,
but have the main lines five feet in
diameter, built of masonry, with open
ings every 25 feet. This kind of a
sewer would require no water. In the
city of Algiers the summer climate is
very similar to ours, hot and dry, and
the idea of flushing a sewer was never
thought of.
H. Warren-The installation of a
practical sewer system is of the highest
Importance to the general public and
| no substantial progress can be hoped
for as long as this is delayed. Not only
will the property owners be benefcially
affected by the advance of real proper
ty values, but all persons, whether they
are taxpayers or not, will receive sub
stantial benefit by reason of the i'm
provement. The present system of un-
slightly and foul-smelling cesspools and
other means of disposing of sewage is
not only more expensive than a prac-
tical system, but it is revolving to the
senses and extremely dangerous to the
health of children and even grown peo.
pie. 1t is a well known scientific fact
that cannot be disputed, that the pres
ent conditions are productive especially
of typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria
and kindred deadly diseases; it is also
a scientific fact, not susceptible of ar
gument, that the adoption of a proper
sewage system and its correct maiu
| tainance will lessen the mortality es
ipecially among children. The water re
quired could be obtained practically fol
nothing during large part of the
year from the unappropriated vast;
waters of Harmony and Cross creeks
which at the present time flow to tht

"MORMON DAN"
RUNS AMUCK

At about 9:30 O'Clock Tuesday even
ing. while in the act of taking drink
at the Palace bar with a party of
friends, Tom New was shot and in
stantly killed by D. M. LeBaron, com
monty known as "Mormon DAN" The
latter walked in and without warn
ing. shot his victim from behind, the
bullte entering the back of the head
and lodged in the brain. New dropped
to the floor, when LeBaron fired sec
ond shot, this ball entering and passing
through the dead mans neck. With
leveled pistol the murderer backed out
of the door, saying to the men who ot-
tempted to follow him, "Stanb back,
boys, / know my business.
Walking up to the county Jail, Lee
Baron entered and took seat, saying
to Deputy Nofsinger, who was on duty:
"Well, Charley, I've shot Tom New s
head off and / guess you d better lock
me up. / ought to have done it years
ago. He was given a cell in "Mur

Hill, w. r. Spenner, Q. p. Floreth, d.
]. Biggins, J. G. Kepler, William Hick-
am, B. c. Ellis and l.. X. Scott, who re-
turned verdict "that deceased came
to his death at Winnemucca, Humboldt
county, Nevada, on May 25, 1909, by
gunshot wound inflicted at the bands
of Dan LeBaron; and we further find
that in causing said death the said
Dan LeBaron acted with criminal in
tent''
At his preliminary examination,
held before Judge Robins Thursday
and Friday, LeBaron was held to the
grand jury without bonds.
As justification for the shooting,
LeBaron claims that New had alienated
the affections of his wife. For the past
year or more the LeBarons have been
having trouble, which finally euiminat-
ed in Mrs. LeBaron bringing suit for
divorce. The action, however, was
withdrawn before coming to trial. For
some time the couple had been living
apart, Mrs. LeBaron residing in town
with the children, while LeBaron has
lived on his ranch in the Jackson
mountain country.
New, the murdered man. was about

piled:
"The daily volume of business trans
acted at Golconda is much larger than

industry at Gold Circle has recently
received an impetus that is of great
benefit the town. The mill at that

w. l.. Akin, Superintendent Water &
Light Co.-For six or sven months in
the year we could furnish an abundance
of water for a sewer from our gravity
system, or for that matter for a town
several times the size of Winnemucca.
For the balance of the year, owing to
our limited storage facilities, we
should be obliged to depend on our
pumping plant. Not being advised as
to the kind of sewer system proposed,
l am unable to form an estimate as to
the probable cost of the water.
E. Reinhart manager Winnemucca
Water & Light Co.-From a sanitary
and humanitarian point of view, the
town should certainly have a sewer.
But it would be considerable burden
to the taxpayers, and for that reason |
believe a public meeting should be call
ed for some time next week, when the
matter could be discussed in neigh
borly manner.
f. G. Hoenstine, County Treasurer
Not being a taxpayers in Winnemucca,
would not care to express an opinion
as to the praeticability of sewer sys-
TEN, bat have no objection to discuss
ing the financial questions involved.
The law provides a maximum issue of
bonds for sewer purposes of 100000,
but we will take basis of $4,000, and
say nothing about the redemption. AT
per cent, the interest would amount
to $4,000 annually, and / understand
that the water will cost the town $3.50
per month, or another $4,000 per year.
This would neeessitate the raising Of
$4,000 a year to handle the PROPOSE
tion, and as our assessed valuation for
the town is but $463, 900, would mean
an additional tax rate of approximately
81 so on the $l00 Under the law, So
