How many cIuZcns III Carson will
sign II petition or affidavit for Thorn
rs Il, Hickey III support OF his motion
Tor change Ct yetruc trom thc OrmS-
by county district court?
Don't all speak at once.
What Is regarded as one OF the
most unique moves ever made by a
litigant in this county Is reported to
have been started here today, the
circulation of petition by Hickey
and his attorneys in an effort to get
loo citizens OF the county VINO VIII
swear that he cannot get ialr trial
~ Ormsby county on charges that
grew out OF the wreck OF the state
bank Z, Trust Company.
Judge Mack, Cf Mack IL Green, is
authority Tor the statement that AT
torncy Mcpike. OF Peck Il NCPike,
attorneys for Hickey, has secured tIc
services OF man In Carson city to
get at least 100 names to this peti,
ton. Judge Mack says that the ar
raugcment has been made, and even
reports thG amount to be- paid this
man when he gets The TOO names. Il
considerable sum too. Diligcnt in
quiry in this city today fails to dis.
close the identity of the character OF
the circular. il such II paper is being
circulated.
Attorneys are divided upon the
question Of tde effect such petition
would have. All agree however that
such petition must be in the form
of an affidavit TO the court setting
forth t..c Iact that the sigucrs. each
and all Of them. have made due in
ycstigatIOn and are satisfied that the
defendant, Hickey, cannot get Il fair
trial in this county. The submission
of such an affidavit to the district
court could have very little it any.

on the dcmurrcrs to the complaints
against RiCkcy ct al, and even then
there Is II broad question that the
of such u matter until the cOnsidSra-
tion OF the motion for IL change ol
venue.
Most Of the attorneys are Of the
opinion that the court cannot decide
this motion until he has heard the
examination of talcsmcn for the jury
in case a jury is drawn. Another
point The attorneys for both sides
make is, that tde motion for change
of venue cannot be heard until the
issue is joined. in this matter not
yet joined. RiCkcy has not pleaded
yet and until he does, contend the
attorneys, there is no way OF saying
whether bias and prejudice against
the defendant exists, or if 1t exist that
1t is strong enough to prevent u fair
trial.
In his affidavit in support of his
motion for change of venue Hickey

FILE PROTEST
TO INDIANS

We are in receipt of the following
communication. WAi,h speaks for it
sell:
The Reno Gazette of Oct. > has
quite an extended leader" headed
"Protect the Indian as Well as the
Fish" which in substance advocates
favorable interpret of the laws
and decision by Hon. VIM. Wood
burn on allowing the Indians to catch
the trout OF Pyramid Lake in their
spawning season. contrary to our
present laws.
The article is misleading and de
cIdedly wrong and evidently written
by person not convcrsant with our
laws. in the first plac" the Indian
does nol fish in "Pyramid Lake out
of season. but he does fish in the
river while tine fish al" On their way
to spawn and by means OF grab hooks,
traps and any other illegal way, and
with no attention to any law. Then
what becomes OF The fish he takes?
If tile old way is any criterion we
could say he sells them to the trader
on the reservation, and he to the
markets. throughout the country.
We will admit for the sake OF the
GaZettc's contention that the Indian
has some preferred right to the trout
in Pyramid Lake, We would also add
that there are others Ondians) to
come after these on the reservation
at his time, other generations, and if
The trout were continually taken
while spawning or procreating. finally
none would ascend the Truckee river
would undoubtedly ""rrent the slaugh-
ter by the CWhileD market fishermen
OF WaShoe county. Most any OBJ
server will remember what was done
in this respect last March. The prac
tice carried on for few years
would .ureiy result in the eXtermina-
ton of the finest trout for the table
in the world. We do not believe with
the Gazette tha- the Indian has any
natural right to do this. Nor do We
believe the Nevada Legislature would
stand for any oct allowing the In
diane To continue the wilful dcStruc-
ton of the fish and game, even if the
State did pass such Il law. The ac-
tion OF the /. s. Commissioner of
Indian affairs, the potent factors on
reservations would stop the destruc-
tiOn OF the fish on reservations and
it would not be the first time it hau
been done.
We have every confidence in the
Attorney of WashOe county. We
know he stands for the enforcement
of lIe law regulating the taking of
the fish in the waters of his conuty,
and We know he is familiar with the
law passed by the Nevada Legisla-
ture of 1885 and We also know that
bouquets or compliments win not
influence any decision he may render !
And rinaily no person can nave any
right inferred or conferred in the
wanton destruction of any variety
of food the property of all the people.

MADE TOO PLAIN

Judge Bartine Of Salt Lake City,
drew some damaging admissions
from Southern Pacific representa-
tives, during the railroad rate hear
ings that will in all lillinood mater
tally help in securing just rates for
Reno cases is made shortly.
The railroad has been dodSing the
issue-a terminal rate some cen
.ral Nevada pOint-On TWO grounds
One of them is that the freight rate
IS now as low as it can be consist
entity given; mother 5 that water
competition is so keen that the rates
n the interior must be maintained
50 mat the seaboard rates may be
Kept down to where they compete
with the water transportation charS-
eS.
Jud2c Bartine forced an official OF
the Espoe to admit that the rate
charged to Reno from Eastern points
was sufficient TO pay for hauling ac-
ross the mountains to Sacramento and
then back to Reno, but that il was
insufficient to carry the freight as
far west as Reno, drop it off there
and thus be relieved OF the haul ac-
ross the Sierras and back,
Another Espee official admitted
that the water lines which have been
giving the ESpee the most serious
trouble in the way Of competition are
owned and controlled by the South
ern Pacific Company.
1t seems That if arguments such as
the ones above are the strongest
that the Southern Pacific Company
can put up for denying Reno an
equitable terminal freight rate, the
road will lose its case. The Salt
Lake hearing has brought out the
''public be damned" policy of the
transportation companies in too con
else wording this time. Now it's the
public's turn.-Goldfield Daily News.
