FORD TRIAL
begins IN The
DISTRICT court

The trial of w. F. Ford. charged
with embezzlement, was formally
begun yesterday before Judge
Averill in the district court. Tho
states case is in the hands of Dis
trict Attorney Cleve Baker and Key,
Pittman, special counsel.
The day was consumed in the eX-
animation of Jurors. Many were
put through the test and nearly as
many found wanting. Two havs
been accepted, but these are subject
to challenge. The nature of the eX-
animation showed that several days
will be consumed in securing Jury.
The defendant Ford is taking
quite an interest in his own behalf,
assisting the man who he has Sc
lected to do the talking for him by
suggesting questions to be asked The
prospective juror.
1t would appear from the position
taken by the defense yesterday that
it will conduct a case based largely
upon technicalities. The questioning
of the jurors would warrant the ar
rival at that conclusion.
Attorney Needles saw fit to bring
the Daily Bonanza into play yester-
day afternoon.
did you read that masterpiece
in the Bonanza yesterday mornirg?"
he asked of one of the men who
was undergoing examination.
do you believe anything you
read in the Bonanza?" was another
of the questions this learned gentle
man propounded. He certainly
knows what he is doing. His lona
line of unbroken legal victories an
the prominence he occpies as 7
member of the Nevada bar, make il
proof positive that he intends to use
every resource at the command Of
his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS intellect t
land his client high and dry on the
pedestal of innocence.
The Bonanza is going to cover
the Ford case thoroughly. giving Il
its readers every >'Ntail as it viii
likely prove one of more than pass
ing interest.

BREAKS, MANY
HAVE TO WALK

When Paul Tarpey and his COM
panions started for Georges canyon
Friday afternoon it was generally
understood that they would return

of the automobile is difficult to I'M
derstand When it goes it goes and
when it don't it don't. Well, this
time, st didn't Our voyagers in
stead of reaching their homes Fri
day night, got back Sunday night
at II o'clock precisely.
It all happened because the ma
chine lost its toggle Joint. The
toggle joint is a part of the steer
ing apparatus located in the vicinity
of the opium joint.
Tarpey and his passengers were
on their return journey. When
about fifteen miles from Four-mile
station, the toggle joint became I'M
jointed with the result that the car
was rendered hors de combat. 1t
was but the matter of fifteen miles
to Salisbury Wash, nice little walk
for the crowd. They accomplish
ed that distance in a manner that
would make Weston look like a
hobo being passed by train.
Salisbury Wash looked good to the
pedestrians who by name were, Tom
Kendall, Paul Tarpey, William Mix
ulich, Harry Stimler, William Lyle
John Nay and o. B. Nay. Mr.. Tar
pey telephoned from the Wash tc
Tonopah for another toggle joint
and it was sent out the following
morning. Our chauffeur then hired
a robust mule to carry him back tt

know how to fasten a toggle join
