had used the other half to light q
cigar. The half he forwarded was
nicely charred along the inner
edge, and the story would have
been accepted by treasury off cials
had It not been that within twenty
four hours there was received from
a bank in the same state the other
half Of the note.
The theory of treasury officials
was that while more or less
intoxicated the man had struggled
for possession of the bill with
some one who had wrested half
of it from him; that tire desr oiler
had turned the half into the bank
and received five dollars for it;
that the intoxicated man, recover
ing his senses, had found the other
half in his pocket and, not wishing
to lose his money, had conceived
the plan of ,singeing the end of
the note and claiming that the
other half had been destroyed. So
be comitted perjury in an attempt
to rob the government of SIS.
A man in. Cleveland sent an
affidavit to the treasury depart
ment, accompanying the signed
half of two twenty-dollars bills and
one ten-dollar bill. This affidavit
was typewriter and in perfect
form.::It set forth that the deponent
was a commercial traveller that
after returning from a journey he
had been cleaning out his travelling
bag when inadvertently he had
thrown into the fire an envelope
containing $50 in bills; that in &C
cordance with section so and so
he would like to have the money
restored to him, etc. .
The clerk who brought this
document to the officials commented
on its lucidity and completeness
but to one of these the story seemed
unnatural. and he ordered that the
claim be held up for awhile.
Twenty-four hours later a big
Shipment of mutiliated currency
came from subtreasury in the
west. The officials who had
ordered the claim held up asked
whether there were any half notes
in this shipement. In four or five
minutes clerk brought him the
missing halves of the bills the
Cleveland man had sent in.
TIE attempt to uefraud was
plain. The matter was at once
put into the hands of the secret
service division. and man was sent
west to investigate. The man who
had made the affid,it confessed at
once. He had cut the bill in halves
and for one-nalf of them obtained
$25. The other half he singed and
attached to. his affidavit. The gross
profit of the swindel could not
have been more than $25, and for
that trifiing sum the man forfeitd
his liberty for a year and a half

PGssING OF 4. N. YERINGTON

When the hand of Death closed
the life Of H M. Yerington in this
city yesterday One of the most
prominent figures in the history of
the State of Nevada passed to
eternal rest. H. M. Yerington was
a builder. From the time he
came to Nevada, young man. he
was connected with the upbuliding
of Western Nevada and to his
active mind can be traced some
of the greatest enterprises in this
state. Not only in Western Ne
vada but in the south has his
enterprises been lcated and the word
success has been written in the
records of very one.
With the determination that
marked his life, even in his later
years, when most men retire from
active life, he pushed to completion
enterprises that mean much for
the people of the section in which
they were located and with the
same determination personally
supervised and managed them that
they might meet the expectations
of their promoter. In ali his
business dealings he was square,
ever ready to listen 10 complaints
and equally ready to right wrong.
Ambition and determination
marked his entire life. Not OF a
distant and un&pproachable nature,
he was a man who mixed with tn e
world, man Who desired to deal
with all people personally on ma
tiers affecting himself or his
employees. Charitable and kind,
a man who loved his home and
family. he went through the eighty.
two years of his life doing what he
believed to be right and just
endeavoring to do the best for all
and yesterday, when the hand of
death closed forever the eyes of
II. M. Yeringtnn, those who had
not agreed with him in many ways
and had even condemned, heard
with sorrow of his passing and are
to-day paying to his memory such
tributes that but bespeak the worth
of the man.
AS an employer of men the best
judges are those WIN were under
his employ for years past To-day
they are the ones who are reviving
their acquaintance with the dead
man among them can be heard the
truest expressions of sorrow at his
passing. Ellis boys" as he called
them, are his friends, and one will
search the world over for a man at
the head Of a corporation who held
more firmly the friendship and
admiration of his men than the
late H. M. Yerington.
H. M. Yerinston, "Nevada's
Grand Old Man" Is dead, but in the
years to come no figure in the
history of this state will stand out
more prominently on it's pages than
his and his achievements will stand
as an everlasting monument to his
memory. May He Rest in Peace.

Now Has A New Sea Lord
Something About Him

London, Jan. 25-Pursuant to the
official announcement made at the be-
ginning of the year, Sir John Fishe",
or Lord Thetford, as he has become
snice his elevation to the peerage, to-
day retired from the office of First Sea
Lord of the British navy. He is sue
ceeded by Admiral Sir Arthur Knyvet
Wilson, who has the reputation of be-
strategy and tactics In the British
navy.
The new First Sea Lord has had
long and distinguished career. Like
his predecessor he was graduated in
the torpedo school, and he is the in
ventor of several appliances connect
ed with the use of torpedoes. In the
course of his long career he has
achieved about all the honors and
decorations that can be hoped for by
a British naval officer. Besides hav-
ing the VictoIi,- Cross, a decoration
given usually for signal bravery in
battle, he is a Grand Commander of
the Victorian Order. He got his c. ID.
in 1897 and was made Knight Com
mander of the Bath five years later
and Grand Commander in 1906.
Sir Arthur was born in 1912 and
gained his first experience as a fight
er in the Crimean War, when he serv-
ed off Sebastopol as n twelve-year-old
midshipman. He took part in the
storming of the Tuka forts in China
and served in the Egyptian campaign
of 1882 and in the Sudan campaign in
1884
1t was at the battle Of Ell Teb on the
Red Sea coast that Sir Arthur, then n
captain, won the Victoria Cross 1t
was at a critical moment when a cor
ner of the British square mad been
of the fanatical dervishes and through
the gap the way seemed open for
them to pour in and turn the battle
into absolute rout. Wilson sprang in
to the breach and single handed as he
was lay about him with his sword and
absolutely held the enemy in check
until some of the soldiers rushed to
his assistance.
The list of Sir Arthur's successive
Offices is long. He became captain in
1880, rear admiral in 1895, vice admir-
al in 1895. vice admiral in 1901, was
aid de camp 20 the Queen from 1892
to 1895, lord commissioner of the ad-
miralty and comptroller of the navy
from 1897 to 1901, commander of the
channel squadron from 1901 to 1903,
commander in chief of the home and
channel fleets from 1903 to 1907 and
admiral of the fleet in 1907.
