The trial of the two Mexicans, Ro.
nero and Broa, for the murder of the
Indian, "Cock-Eyedo Johnny" is
still going on in the District Court.
This morning the State placed on the
stand Stanley Mcintosh and Chief OF
Police Haynes, of Lovelock, and has
the evidence of several more witnesses
to introduce before resting.
In addition to the two defendants
the defense will have four or five wit
nesses so that it is probable the case
will not go to the jury before some
time Thursday.

younger genration of the "cap-
tains of industry" who is willing
to relinquish an income OF hum
dreds of thousands of dollars for
the modest salary of mayor of
New York and a bonus of half
a million dollars for his services.
The bonus will be given by prom
inent citizens who desire an execu-
tive business man to direct the
city's affairs.
Realizing the difficulty in find
ing a man who will relinquish a
large business to take over the
job of managing New York city
on a business basis, certain mer-
chants of this city have outlined
Ifans by which. to attract the
needed men.
1t is suggested that twenty-five
men shall anonymously pledge
themselves to contribute annually
a sum of $125, 200 which shall be
handed to the mayor at the con-
clusion Of each of the four years
of his term.
The merchants desire a man of
honesty and ability; one which

posed changes in the city govern
