place with their Jarbidge outfits this
forenoon and expected to reach Gold

Henry Ritter, one of Nevada's
staunchest democrats, has filed a COM
plant in the district court of Ormsby
county attacking the constitutionality
of the primary election law passed by
the last legislature. The complaint is
lengthy one and attacks the constitu-
tionality of the law on fifteen different
grounds. Secretary of State Douglas
is made the defendant and an injunc.
ton to restrain him from putting the
machinery of the law in action is asked
for. Henry Riter's democracy has al
ways been above suspicion and those
who know him will be difficult to con-
vince that he has entered into con-
spiracy to further the interests of Sem
ator Nixon or any other republican.
Senator Boyd and L. A. Gibbons are the
plaintiffs Attorneys. Boyd is demo-
crat.
: Miss. Florence Moody and Miss
Hortense Wright called at this Office
late yesterday afternoon and requested
that correction be made in the item,
published Monday, regarding the dance
in the old school house Saturday night
The item stated that the dance con-
tinued until 10 o'clock Saturday night
This the young ladies said was wrong
as the dance stopped shortly before 9
o'clock and everybody was out of the
building at that hour. Miss. Moody
and Miss. Wright said they were called
upon Saturday evening by 10 or 20
chaperones ut dance in the old school
house. The young ladies naturally
thought the parents of the youngsters
knew what their children were doing
and readily consented to act as their
chaprones. The young ladies were
accompanied to this Office by Miss
Moody's mother who corroborated them
in regard to the request of the children.
They want the parents of the children
to know how they came to act as
chaperones.
