was music, ETC., to fill in the in

groaned with good things pro-

expressions of satisfaction and
with appreciation Of an evening

WALK HOME MORE

Edward Weston, " bo will celebrate
his seventieth birthday March 10Th.
by starting to walk from New York
to San Francisco in 100 davs. may be
the leader In great movement that
will spread over the entire country.
Doctors Of today tell US that people
Of today are not walking as much II
they should. This applies especially
to the people living in the large
oities, where the street cars are re
sorted to IL a party wishes to go more
than couple. of blocks. In the
smaller towns, aud in the rural dis.
triots the people do great deal of
walking but even SO. the doctors say
they do not do epousb.
If reports are to believed the fad OF
walking will be taken mp all over the
country. Walking parties, taking q
jaunt of mile or TO before break fast
will be the order, while the after.
noon and evening stroll Will be far
more common. than at present. With
Weston at the age of seventy trying
to break all records across the oontin .
ent. and he being in the best OF
health. there should be some proof
positive to the timid that his scheme
of walking is a good one.
1t is said that steady, consistent
walking is q oure-all for nearly all
ills. and that the brain is made clear.
or and the nerves steadier. OF course
there are many who will not take up
the plan Of early morning walking.
but if they will do the stunt some
time during the day they will be
made healthier.
There is no place In the country
whore an early morning walk can be
enjoyed a. much as here in Glenwood
aud it Is believed the visitors to the
city the coming season will organize
many mole parties than In the past.
II the fad is started Glenwood should
not lose an opportunity Of advertising
her beautiful canons and mountain
trails. s.-Glenwood Post.

KANE CASE HELPS
NEVADA SHIPPERS

Judge Harrington decided every
point in the railroad commission case
In favor of the railroad commission
today.
Five suits were brought against II
r. Bartine. ct. al, attacking the con-
stitutionalty of the act creating the
state Board of Railroad Commission
crs. attacking the operation of the
commission, the method of appoint.
ment of the members, the maximum
rate clause. the powers of the com
missioncrs and in fact every thing in
the act that appeared to justify a
question at law.
In his decision today which covers
80 typewriter pages the court ruled
in favor of the defendants on every
point. dismissed all the cases and all
the injunctions. and left but one com
pany with any standing in court, the
Nevada California Railway, which may
reopen its suit, as the case was dis
missed without prejudice.
When court opened the railroad
commission was present to a man
with the L. $. District Attorney Platt.
Judge Harrington. after court was
called, began to recite the fact that
at ths time he would decide the cas-
as and made short oral statement
in regard to the matters.
He dismissed one after the other
the suits of the Southern Pacific
company vs. II. f. Bartine ct al, Ne

SOMERS
SAVES A MAN

| A decided departure from the ordi
| nary grind of a criminal court was
effected yesterday by Judge P. j.
SOmers, when he released w. A. Pau.
ley upon his own recOgnizance, after
the prisoner had taken an oath that
uor for one year.
Pauley passed a bogus check at the
Faust saloon some seven months ago
and has been in Jail ever since. At
the time he was drunk and after
wards said that he didn't know wha;
he was doing. His attorneys J. X.
terday tod him to plead guilty to the
charge and then the counsel asked
mercy for their client. They inform
ed the court hat he was but 81 years
of age, that this was his first Of
fense and that he had no criminal
tendencies whatever.
The attorneys asked That Pauley
be given another chance to show
what he can do and as the district
attorney aSSented Judge SOmerS ask.
ed the defendant if he would take an
oath not to drink intoXicants for at
least a year. if he would write to
the Judge at least every six months
telling his whereabouts and Ocupa-
tiOn and if he would pay the bogus
check. To all of this Pauley took
oath and then the court discharged
him, or rather placed him on parole
for year If ne does as he says he
will the case will be dismissed ae
ainst him and Pauley will be allow
ed to withdraw nis plea of guilty.
thus relieving him of the Odium of a
criminal charge over his head for the
balance of his life
This is probably the irst case OF
its kind in the history OF criminal
court work in the state, if not in the
west-Goldfield Tribune.
The action o. Judge Somers bor-
ders very closely upon the provis-
ions of the Juvenile court law, now OF
passage in the legislature.
There is no argument that can be
made against such an action as that
Of Judge SOm1rs. The young man
is probably saved a life OF crime. the
state a big expense bill and the pro
batiOnal period will serve to straight |
n the young man out As nothing
else would have done.
Judge SOmerS is one OF the most
humane men in the state, a man OF
wise Judgment and great sagacity,
whose insumbency of the bench in
county is 4 gain TO that
county and the state.
