AND
SMITH CASE
is HEARD

The Board of PardOns took up the
this morning and Judge Hilton, at
torney for the Western Federation
of Miners took the entire day in argu-
ment before the board
Present We're the Governor, Chief
Justice NOrcross, Justice Talbot, JUS
tice Sweeney, Attorney General Stod-
dard and Warden Maxwell, The
sister Of Preston, who has done the
big end of the work in preparation
for the hearing, was there and there
were dozens Of spectators.
The two men were tried for
the murder of John Silva, a restau-
rant keeper of GOldfield, March 10,
1907. Preston was convicted Of the
murder and Smith of manslaughter
Every device known to the legal
fraternity is being used in their be-
hall by Judge Hilton. and his con-
frere, Attorney Roberts.
President Meyer, Of the Western
Federation Of Miners was in the city
Tor some days, and VIM. Burns. Orga-
nizer for the Federation has aided in
the work in behalf Of the two men.
Judge Hilton, set up in his argu-
ment that Smith was convicted OF
manslaughter and cited authorities
to show that Smith had been con-
victed of a crime that he could not
have committed under the statute.
In Preston's case he argued on the
line of self defense, A pile of docu-
mentS two feet high were used in the
hearing.
1t is believed the Board will refuse
to pardon either of the two men.
The sessions are executive and none
are admitted to them. The practice
OF the board is to exclude all put
members as soon as argument is
finished.
Preston gained national notoriety
last summer Wnen he was nominated
for president OF NE United States
on the Socialist-LabOr ticket. sort
of a rump party That polled so few
votes in the country its effect was
not Ielt in the general result.
The shooting OF Silva was the cul-
OF a strike of walters and
Mattresses in the Silva restaurant in
which followed Silva's re-
fusal to refrain from boarding per-
sons inimical TO me interest of the
GOldfittH Union of l. w. w.
Testimony showed that he was shot
in the door way of his place of busi-
ness by Preston and that Smith was
an accessory before and after the
fact. A possible chance for rehear-
ing was lost through the inattentiOn
of the attorneys for the accused
men, VINO fa11ed to act before the
statute OF limitations had run in the
IL after.

that he would be pleased to meet

at which time he would be prepared
To make a formal announcement of
the plans Of the company.
Baum and his party arrived from
the south yesterday ana Baum said
that his company intends to com
plcte some irrigation projects as well
as rncir power projects. This state
ment is the most significant he made
while here and means that there will
be an added population in the coun-

and President LeMasters desires the
press to extend his invitation to
every citizen OF Ormsby County to

ana will report probably at the nfit
meeting Thursday night.
Thus starts the work OF advertis-
ing the charms of Carson City as 4
place of residence and the favorable
manufacturing enterprises.
Carson City is at the parting of the
ways this year. if never before. The
psChyCOlogical moment is almost ripe
and 1t Is up to the citizens, business
men and property owners of Ormsby
county TO take advantage of it, to
the end that the city and county
snail gain some hundreds OF perma-
ncut residents within the next few
months.
Inc committee appointed at the
first meeting has done the very best
it could and has selected chair
man after canvassihg the entire city.
THE new chairman is Il young man
with good deal of experience and
much enthusiasm. If he receives the
support of the community he will go
far. If he does not he will be UNI
able to do anything.
The first thing to do is to join the
association. 1t is true that an as
sessment Is levied. the exorbitant
tSiC) sum OF one dollar per member.
II any man in Ormsby county could
be shown where he would make
dollar and be maze to believe he
would make dollar, he would put
up one dollar Tor every dollar ex-
pected. In THIS WORK ne viii make
directly and ii-..rectly hundreds on
dollars, at the cost Of one dollar.
There Is no reason why Ormsby
county should not rally to this work
as one man. and as for the expense.
tie whole viii be a bagatelle COM
pared with the benefit to be had.
The Appeal was boosting Carson

BOY HEMMEO IN
BY FLAMES; HAS
CLOSE CALL
1o.YEAR-oLO HAL MOORE RES
cUEo THROUGH WINDOW or
BURNING HOME BY NEIGHBoR
AFTER MOTHER FAILS.

But for the timely arrival OF John
S. brennan, It is probable that l0.year.
old Hal Moore. the only child OF Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander Moore, OF No. 453
Avery-ave., would have been seriously
burned In u fire which practically de.
stroyed their home shortly after 7
o'clock Thursday morning
1t Is not known how the fire orig
mated. Mr.. Moore left for work be-
fore 7 o'clock. and Mrs. Moore, after
Hal, who had been Ill with cold for
the last few days. She fell asleep,
but was awakened by the cracking OF
flames and the smoke which seemed
TO be all, about her. The bedroom in
the cottage In which Hal slept was
of the sitting room. and she CROPPED
her way, blindly, TO the front door.
where, almost suffocated and fainting
she called for help.
Her brother-in-law and friend OF
the latter who had come 10 the city
from Canada Wednesday evening
were sleeping In another bedroom, but
the door was closed and they were un.
aware OF their danger until Weakened
by the cries Of Mrs. Moore. After she
had given the alarm, Mrs. Moore made
frantic effort to return TO the room
where her little son was sleeping, but
after making three attempts was
driven out OF doors.
Mrs. brennan, who lives next door
to the Moores. hearing the cries, rush
ed to the window OF the bedroom and
attempted to open 1t. but could not
do So Just as he smashed the win
dow pane with his fist, the uncon.
scious form OF the lad, who had been
searching for means OF exit, fell
against the window Mr.. brennan res
cued the boy through the window and
carried him to his home, where a ply
stefan was called and soon pronounced
him out OF danger. His hands are
badly cut from the glass and he is
suffering some from inhaling the
smoke and flames, but 1t is believed
he will be all right In few days.
The cottage is practically destroyed,
and nearly all Of the contents. The
Moores do not own the home, and had
only $500 insurance on the furniture
and clothing. It is believed that the
fire was caused by sparks from small
stove in the dining room.
