RENO PRESS AND THE RACES.

1t is within the memory OF all how the papers of Reno some
few tmonths ago were filing their columns with the evils of
gambling How they maligned and endeavored to brow-beat nv
one who did not think as they did is a matter of common
knowledge. Particularly Is this the truth concerning the Ga
zette.
1t is not a far cry between those days of its relentless actlv-
iy and the present ones when it is devoting columns OF space
to a race meet being held in the riverside town. 1t NAV be
there is a difference between the two methods of gambling Per-
haps it is a sin to wager a bet on games that are licensed I'M
der the laws of the state but within the limits of morality TO
gamble on the ponies The latter sport at least furnishes col
umns of news, IL such It can be called, while the former brings
but ruin and disaster, If the position OF the Reno journals can
be taken as a criterion. The one brings thugs and cut-throats.
the other gentlemen sports.
Reno is having it's inning just now. 1t is reaping a harvest
because of the large attendance of people from all over the
state. There you have Reno. Just 81 long a s the people there
are having their pockets fattened by outside money, 1t is not a
crime to indulge in a gamble which Of all Is the very worst.
The Bonanza will remember the attitude of the Reno papers
when the time comes for the submission to the people Of the
gambling question.
II Is not Intended to resur ect the gambling bill but it re-
mains a fact that Reno at that time strove relentessy to die
tate to the entire state. What IL could not do for itself it asked
the commonwealth to accomplish. Communities that dared to dis
agree with them were looked upon as ignorant, outlaws in the
galaxy Of counties. Quite different now. The railroads ara ad-
vertisng reduced rates to the Reno meet. Not a whfmper has
been heard from the direction Of the Washoe county seat. 1t is
advising no one to remain at home less their morals be corrupt

FIFTY DAYS IN JAIL FOR
BEATING UP A WOMAN

For striking a woman, William
Dooley will have to pay a fine of
$500 or anguish in jail for a per-
Tod Of fifty days. Yesterday he was
brought before Judge Atkinson
charged with the otfense. He said
that he had simply showed the wom-
an back with a gentle touch, but his
evidence was not borne out by the
appearance of the woman's eye. She
looked as though she had been hit
with a trip hammer. Her left eye
was terribly swollen.
Chief Malley was within a few
rods of the house in lower Main
street when the farcus occurred. A
lad vas standing In front of the
cabin at the time. The latter saw
Dooley hit the woman and he yelled
to the chief, who Immediately ar
rested the man.
Nothing is known of the woman
or the cause leading up to the
trouble. She is a recent arrivat
here, while Dooley is a miner.

the emergency clause so that Han

bill passed, but upon reconsideration
the emergency clause was stricken
out
When the notice from the house
that it would not concur in the
change was received, Senator Cotter-

a conference committee. Senator
Graves opposed the motion on the
ground that the bill was not amend

After a long debate President Ruth

Ruth may change his ruling this af- |

during a recess.
