PASSING OF A VETERAN.
Old Time Ely District Man Dies in
Santa Monica Soldiers Home.

Mayor Mcdonald received a tele-
gram announcing. the death of Au-
gustus c.. Pulsipher, one of the old
timers of the district. The deceased
came to his end in the Soldiers Home
at Santa Monica, where he had been
IN inmate since leaving here about Z
years ago, after a residence of IL
years. He was a favorite with all who
knew him, his warm-hearted and
generous nature making him a most
lovable character.
The dead man was a veteran of
the Civil war, and saw action in
both arms of the service. He carried
a musket in the ranks, and helped to
man a big gun on board ship. He was
with Commodore Perry in japan
Through the long period of the war
he was in service, sometimes TN
shore and sometimes at sea. At the
conclusion of the war he received
an honorable discharge, and then
as others did, followed the star of
empire to the glorious and golden
west. The years of his life dire"'.y
following the war were spent in .da-
no and then ne came to Nevada,
making his home in this district.
Mayor Mcdonald knew him for
about 25 years, and says that he will
ever hold his memory in the highest
esteem, for he was a man well to
know, generous, hardy and brave.
His word was his BOND, and his care
was for others first and for himself
last. He was once a partner OF the
mayor in the Maceo claim of the Me-
Donald Ely, and their relations were
always most cordial. After leaving
here he drifted about the state, liv-
ing principally on his pension, well
earned. Then with the feebleness of
old age upon him, he ava1led himself
of the privilege of the old soldier and
went to the Santa Monica home.
where doubtless all his battles were
fought over and over with his SOL
der companions. until taps sounded
for him, the lights went out forever,
and he sank to final sleep in the
sweet peace he had fought to bring to
the land.

A SETBACK FOR ROHIBITION.

The defeat of the Alabama prohi.
b%itionists' attempt to put their policy
into the constitution of their safe has
an interest for the whole country.
by statute, statewide prohibition is
in operation in Alabama, but its
champions aimed to place it in the
organic law. SO that it could not be
removed when the people became
tired of 1t, except by a great effort.
AS a majority vote of a legislature
could at any time repeal the statute
the friends of exclusion feared that
its sway would be short unless it
could be buttressed by constitution
al enactment.
On this issue the people of Ala
bama have been aroused as they
have not been in any election for
governor or president in this genera
t19n. Naturally, party lines were
not drawn upon the question. The
Republicans have an organization in
Alabama, and they cast $4,000 votes
for Taft, as compared with the a.
900 which Bryan received. All the
states delegation in Congress and
and all its state officers are Demo-
Gratis, and SO are all the members of
its legislature, except one. Thus it
was a fight among the Democrats
chiefly. Gov. Conner was the leader
of the forces which worked for the
amendment, while the states SEN
ators and most of its representatives
opposed it. A large majority of the
clergymen and practically all of the
temperance leaders of the state were
on Corners side.
The fact hat the radicals have
been defeated may mean that the
prohibition wave which has been
sweeping through the South in re.
cent times has begun to ebb. Either
In their statutes or their constitu.
lions half a dozen Southern states
nave adopted prohibition in the pas
few years, CHASING Oklahoma as 6
southern state. They are active il
Virginia, Louisiana and other states
in their section also. In the West
too, they have had hopes of making
conquests. Missouri is one of the
states in which they are planning &
campaign for 1910. Even in the
South, however, the cities usually
declare against prohibition. Mobile
Birmingham and all the other i'm.
portant towns in Alabama voted
against the amendment. The home
rule sentiment everywhere Is strong.
ly against it. Each community
county or city should be allowed tc
deal with this issue Independently
Statewide prohibition has never
been honestly enforced, even in
Maine, and eve will.

WIRELESS BOUND OVER.
s. $1,000 Holds Man to Grand Jury
Who Attempted Murder.

G. B. Wheless, who attempted the
murder of Lee Mudd early Thurs
day evening, was given preliminary
hearing yesterday before Justice
Cartwright, on charge of assault with
intent to kill. Mudd was shot in
the stomach and is now at the Step
toe hospital in a %precarious condi-
ton.
When arraigned. Wheless en- ad-
vice of his counsel, Z. J. McFadden,
entered plea of not guilty. He waiv-
ed the privilege of making a state
for the state were examined, these
being Sheriff butler, deputy City
Marshal Norman, DR.. A. F. Adams,
Gustavus Mohrhardt, Joe Bland, Dan
Smillmack and Ben Logan, the lat
ter two being proprietor and bar
tender of the saloon in which the
shooting occurred. At the conclusion
of the testimony, Wheless was
bound over to the grand jury in the
sum of $4,000 in default of which
he went to Jail.
According to the testimony of the
eye-witnesses of the shooting, Whe-
less and Mohrhardt were shaking
dice in the saloon between 10 and
II O'Clock Wednesday night with
Smilinack, the proprietor of the
place, for drinks. They were SO en-
gagged when Joe Bland happened in
and, after he had warmed himself At
the stove, asked to have a drink
Iney then began to shoot craps for
the drinks. About this time Mudd
happened in the saloon and took part
in the crap game for the drinks. FL
nally, someone suggested draw
poker, for a dollar a stack, and
Mudd, Wheless, Bland and Logan
engaged in the game. It seems that
Mudd came out about even, Bland
VOL a few dollars and logan made
small winnings, Wheless losing a
small amount.
Wheless, according to the evidence,
withdrew from the game and start
ed out of the place. When near the
door, he turned around and came
back to the table and muttered
something to Mudd about being a
crook. Wheless then asked Mudd
how he was fixed. Mudd, thinking
answered that he was fixed all right,
having just won a pot. Wheless, it
was shown, then asked Mudd If he
had anything on him, evidently
meaning a gun. Mudd replied that
he had never carried a gun in his
life. Wheless, it was testified, then
pulled his revolver and began firing.
According to Bartender Logan, only
five shots were fired, one striking
Mudd.
