STRANDED ON THE DESERT

J. Wesley Stewart, our genial
postmaster, returned yesterday
from the .wilds of Mono county
where he spent his vacation. He
has been through several trying
experiences and during the
months absence succeeded in losing
Al pounds. The trip to Bridge
port, which was made by auto,
was one that Stewart will not soon
forget. He was accompanied by
Bunny Brown, who acted as driver.
and Dick Davis, who was the Star
passenger.
When about eight miles from
Crow Springs the automobile
baked and refused con nue. any
further. After an hours work
Wesley and Bunny started back to
MilIers, while Davis stopped at the
springs. He was picked up the
next day by a team. About II
miles was covered when Stewart
gave out and sought rest under a
tall sage brush. Brown continued
and on arriving at MillCrs hired an
eXpressman no went out a re-
lie party In the mean time Mr..
Stewart gathered his co / age and
shoes and made despera effort
to cover the remaining distance.
He was met by the relief parry,
and by that time was talking to
himself. He crawled aboard the
vehicle and when he was landed at
a hotel he was charged Sl3.60 as
fare. OF course he paid. He took
the train the next day for Sodaville
where after resting for several
days, the auto came along and the
trip was resumed. Hereafter

HON v. j. THOMAS

Hon. w. r Thomas of Las
Vegas, Clark county, is in the field
for judge of tie district court Of
this district. From what we have
been able to learn of Mr.. Thomas he
has practiced liw for many years
and at present Is district attorney
of his county. He stands high in
Clark county as an attorney and as
an upright, honorable man.
Those who knew him say that he
is thoroughly competent to fill the
judgeship to theentire satisfaction
of the people. The only thing the
Independent hasheard that milit-
ates against HMM the least is that
he is a republican. But Mr..
Thomas is candidate on the re.
publican ticket for judge and he
appeals to republicans alone for
their support at the primary cleo
tion.
The Independent commends Mr.
Thomas to the thoughtful consider
alton of the republican voters Of

JUDGE SWEENEY
DENIES CHARGES

Judge Sweeney has made the fol.
lowing denial of the charges con-
tanned in the report of the grand
Jruy of Nye county. AS we pub
hshed the charges made by the
grand jury, we cheerfully give
Judge Sweeney's denial space. In
communication to the Carson
Appeal he says:
Editor of Carson Appeal
Carson City, Nevada.
Dear Sir:
In the Tonopah Bonanza of July
10, 1910, an article appeared
wherein the Grand Jury of Nye
County, in discussing the affairs of
the Nye & Ormshy County Bank,
among other things, state, that
(James G. Sweeney had received
a 81 500 fee from that institution.
In view of the fact that this
statement might be construed to
imply hat ! had received Sl.5OO
for legal services rendered to the
bank since became a Supreme
Judge of this State, | desire to say
that this statement, or any insinua-
tion that might be inferred from
such statement, in this repect is
totally false and without founda-
tiOn whatever
The truth of the matter is that !
was given a credit for 81, 500 on
my account of legal services
rendered said institution prior to
my becoming Supreme Judge of
this State, which services / had a
perfect right to perform and
charge for as ary other attorney
might do if he were employed. 1t
is, however, that since being
elected to the Supreme Bench of
this State have never performed
any legal services for the bank for
which have charged or received,
directly or indirectly. a solitary
cent.
1t is true that while a Director
of said Institution ! actively took
part IN the affairs of the bank and
desire to frankly state, to the
best of my knowledge and ability,
/ performed the duties of the
office of Director in that rnstitu-
tion as | deemed to be for the best
interests of said institution.
1t is further true that when the
finan cial crash came this bank,
which had six branch banks run
ming at the time, was forced to
suspend operation of business, and
when it finally closed its doors it
owed $780, 900 to its depostors.
Since that time it as paid over
81 10000 to its depositors, and |
have every reason to expect and
believe that the assets Of the bank
are sufficient to pay off every de-
positor dollar for dollar.
| was a Director in the bank
several years prior to being elected
to the Supreme Bench, and though
Director at the time the bank
temporarily suspended during the
panic, at the time of the financial
closing of the bank was not a
Director nor have been since that
time.
Yours very sincerely.

The prisoners were being given

and commenced climbing. His
guard followed closely behind him.
One of the guards on the wall
pointed his gun at Petty as if to
shoot and told him to halt. Petty
stopped for moment and waited
for him to shoot, but seeing that
he did not intend to, he kept on
climbing until he had reached he
top UG the pole, distace of shirty-
two feet from the grourd. He then
turned with his back to the pole
and deliberately died to the solid
rock below with lis hands out over
his head like ne was diving in

He stru-k the ground, breaking
his fingers and arms and crushing
his siull. Upon hitting the

RIOT IS AYERTED

riot was narrowly averted at the demo-
cratic state campaign meeting here today
following an assault upon Attorney Gen
eral j. Frazer Lyon while he was at
tempting to address the voters When
his assailants crowded onto the speakers
platform Mr.. Lyons struck one Henry
Wright and kicked him several times in
the chest. Excitement was intense and
for several minutes policeman stood
by the attorney general with drawn re-
volver.
The trouble arose when j. T. Crews, edi-
tor of a Laurens paper. which has bsen
fighting against the reelection of Mr..
Lyon, leaped upon the platform and de-
manded the attorney general read GER
tain letters. Almost Immediately four
friends of Mr.. Crews made rush for
Mr.. Lyon but he met the onslaught with
closed fists. 1t was several minutes be-
fore the crowd could be quieted.

nifies just sheer timidity of capital. When
the owner of surplus funds is unable to
invest he naturally loans his money out
at the best rates he can procure. This
seems to be the explanation of the present
money market. But, OF course, it cannot
be gainsaid that ample funds at easy
rates should be encouraging to those who
wish to attempt bull movement.
It seems idle at this time to discuss
special stocks. The security market
practically moves as a unit. All issues,
regardless of their character of their
prospects, go up or down In unison. This
signifies professional domination. The
market of today is nothing more, speou-
latively, than the plaything of the big
professionals. Such considerations as
earnings. asset value. trade prospects. or
indeed any basic factor play no part in
the day to day dealings. The boys on
the floor just simply swap their trades
in and out without any other considera-
ton than to secure a scalping profit.
In such times there is no temptation to
the public to come into the game. And
as a matter of fact the public remains
religiously aloof-it simply won't come in
This is distressing to the commission
house, but is an element of safety in the
general situation. When some sharp
drive occurs and quotations go tumbling
there are no large lines of margined
stocks to be liquidated. 1t is just case
of speculator-the fortunate one remain
ing on the outside And just so long as
this continues there can be little interest
In the fluctuations of the current market.
Taken as a whole, present market move
ments are meaningless.
There WILL OF course. come time when
some decided trend will assert itself. The
present range of values cannot much
longer be maintained. They must either
rise or fall. Which of these movements
Is imminent is undiscoverable. 1t de-
ponds upon developments not yet mani
fest But in the view of conservative
thinkers and students the concensus of
opinion is that lower levels will be
reached before there sets in any animated
upward swing.
All of this is. Of course, purely academ-
ical and of little Importance to the inves-
tor. The investor has opportunities a
plenty to pick up bargains and no doubt
the shrewd men Of the country are taxi
ing advantage of the situation. The spec
ulator is simply marking time.

POLITICS is A FACTOR
Business Men Have Their Eyes on
Colonel Roosevelt, Who Seems
to Have the Ear of the PeO-
pIe-SteeI Outlook
BY w. G. NICHOLAS

New York, August 27.-(Special. 1.-The
security market wabbles YEARLY along.
Transactions day by day are small in
volume and inconsequential in character.
So far as any general tendency can be
perceived it is downward. The great
mass of securities taken over by the
Morgan-Kuhn-Loeb rescuers when the
Pearson syndicate went to pieces remain
undlgested, and are. of course, for sale
at prices which will enable the relieving
syndicate to make profit or get out
even. This predominant fact chills specu-
lative enthusiasm. Everybody waits to
see what the pawnbrokers are going to
do. A situation by no means cheerful
from the Wall street point of view.
Pawnbrokers are not noted for any par
pledges whenever they can do so at a
profit.
The general situation presents little
Of encouragement Political developments
are going to become more and more
potential and political developments are
not reassuring. The big split in the
republican party grows wider and wider
Mr. Roosevelt is out on a long speech
making tour where he is liable to cut
loose and say things which will shock
conservative interests.
Mr. Roosevelt is not to be handled by
anybody and undoubtedly he has the
public ear to an extent never before
paralleled. From now on until election
day politics will play more and more
important part in Wall street matters
Business interests are equally alarmed
at the victory of republican insurgency
or the victory of democracy. Whether this
alarm be well grounded or not cuts no
figure In the consideration Of Wall street
people.
Everything that happens nowadays
seems to be unfortunate. Take the case
OF the forest fires in Montana. The
Amalgamated Copper company owns,
through subsidiary concern, a million
acres Of Montana forest land valued at
$50 per acre. Reliable expert opinion,
studying the course of the forest fires,
asserts that at least one-half of the
kIAmalgamated Copper company's timber
have been destroyed Wall

pany, with head offices at Tuscaloosa,

quick to recognize the advantages OF
telephone connection with the towns and
thereby with the outside world. 1t is
