lieved that these domestic troubles re-
suited in her taking her life. She left

United States Marshal Harry Hum
phries has sent Deputy Marshal Goode
OF Elko County up to Jarbidge, the
new mining camp In the northern part
OF Nevada, to arrest Id saloonkeepers in
that camp and bring them to Elko for a
hearing before the United States Com
missioner. Marshal HUMPHREYS says
that Jabridge is on a Federal Ferest
Reserve, and that it is against the lava
of the United States to sell liquor on q
Federal Reserve, but that these IA men
have built saloons and are openly violat.
ing the law.
The Nevada Insane Asylum investiga-
ton was closed Saturday afternoon, and
on motion OF Governor Dickerson, Presi.
dent of the Board of Asylum Commits
sioners, h reporters were ordered tc
transcribe the notes. The verdict Of the
Board will be announced at the end Of
20 days. The investigation showed that
many Of the charges made by former
Asylum Supervisor Driscoll against Su'
perintendent 8. G. Gibson are true, but
it appeared that Driscoll showed a great
neglect in not reporting them before and
further, that they were of a trivial ma.
ture. The general opinion seems 10 be
that a new Superintendent will be ap
! pointed.

As the SENTINEL understands the
above action. if the Smiths and MIR.
Griffin succeed in having the petition in
bankruptcy granted by Federal Judge
E. 8. Harrington, it will relieve them
from any personal Indebtedness to their
present creditors. And unless some oil
the creditors object to the granting of
the petition, the Court will undoubtedly
grant the relief prayed for.
This action appears greatly at variance
with the statement made by Oscar j.
Smith and Published in the Reno Ga
zette of April 2. shortly after the closing
of the Eureka County Bank here. in
which he is quoted as saying:
az am confident that the Rhyolite
bank will pay every cent of its indebted.
ness, and am assured that the Eureka
institution will do equally as well. My
brother and l will not only surrender all
our present assets, but we will labor for
the balance of our days to the end that
no man can say we ever took advantage
of them to the extent of a fraction of o
cent.
"But the crash has come
now and all we will do the rest Of cur
days, if it requires our remaining years,
will be to make everybody square, and
this will. we hope. require only a few
months. Then, and only then, we will
endeavor to repair our individual
