Yesterday, at Masonic, the gold

a stabbng affair between TWO Aus
trians that may result in the death
OF the man who was pupctured- with

named 8assick quarreled over the

rel Crovey plunged a knife through
the ribs OF his countryman and also
inflicted another wound in the shoul-
der. The wound in the side is re-
garded as very dangerous and may
result in the death of the wounded
man. Crovey at once left the camp
and took to the hills He had not

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
MAKES OFFICE POSSIBLE
Joe Josephs Places Office on the
Ballots at the Election

There is one political fight before
the people this election that there is
no particular row being kicked up
over and yet at the same time it in
terests the friends of the nominees
deeply. namely the fight for the po-
sition OF clerk Of supreme court.
Jack Lcgate, the republican nomi-
nee. is one Of the best fellows on
earth, good clerk and has been the
mainstay at the secretary OF states
Office. yet the following is the other
side OF the story:
: The placing of the office upon the
official ticket was solely the work OF
Joe Josephs, the democratic nominee.
He contended that the abolishing of
the Office was unlawful, that someone
was entitled to the Office by law and
with his own personal money took
the matter to the court, where it
was decided that he was right III his
contention. 1t was solely by his

Ii the people of this common
wealth did not have brains OF their
own, they would rapidly come to the
conclusion that the gentlemen COM
posing the firing line OF both politi-
cal parties were the greatest pack
OF pirates and all round crooks who
ever faced the gang plank-let alone
a political plank. In one issue OF
the democratic papers every republi-
can is as bad as he could be painted,
while the following issue of the re-
publican sheet branos very democrat
this side OF hades as a working com
panion of Satan As there is but a
few days left in which to rapid fire
the candidates, it is hoped that the
contemporaries will not lose mo-
ment in abusing some god citizen
roundly. After election he same
kind of abuse would cause many an
editors head to be punchd out OF

Resolution by
the Teachers

Following are the resolutions ad-
opted by the Teachers Institute be-
ing held at Goldheld, relating to the
death of the Hon. Orvis Ring, late
superintendent of public instruction:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to call to his reward our beloved
state superintendent, Orvis Ring;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the following min
utes be adopted and placed on record
as an expression of the deep sense
probation of his services:
The close of the earthly career
of State Superintendent Orvis Ring
is an event of unusual significance to
the teaching profession of which he
was for SO many years the honored
leader in this state; to the great cause
of education to which he gave the
best years of his life; and to the
State of Nevada which he has served
so nobly SO long a period of time.
He was man of whom every man,
woman and child in Nevada is justly
proud. =
For more than AZ years he devot-
ed mis- best energies to educational
work and upbuilding of the school
system of Nevada In this work he
was a pioneer and always leader;
he was recognized as one of the real
benefactors of mankind-Nevada's
most worthy educator.
A man of broad educational at
tainments large common sense and
imbued with the spirit of human kind
ness, his efforts were always bent
upon the upbuilding Of character in
those who came under his enobling
influence; his work for the young of
Nevada is beyond estimate and will
be an enduring monumen to his un-
tagging zeal, self sacrifice and most
faithful devotion to the cause of ed
ucation.

or individual. They are free from
debts themselves and if given the
chance would keep the county in the
same condition. They are making
their fight along the line of econo-
my and sane county government
if placed in charge of the affairs.
In either case the salary that is
paid by the county will in no sense
compensate them for the time and
money expended legitimately. In
their election the people can feel
that it is not SO much a case of
party lines as good business sense.
The treatment of business men
when it fails in other stations of
life is to place competent business
at the head. By selecting Mr.. Kitz-
meyer and Mr. Rochon to fill the
Offices of county commissioners the
voters will nave placed their busi-
ness in hands that do not fail. Both
memebrs are heavy taxpayers and
will of necessity do all in their pow
er to reduce the excessive tax rate
that now confronts every taxpayer.
1t is time the hands of successful
business men guided the county f.
nances of Ormsby county and the
two gentlemen are fit guardians in

City Deputy
is Arrested

Acting upon orders from members
of the city council issued at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Chief of Police
Burke yesterday detailed Officers
Duncan and Devencini to place in
custody former city clerk, A. F..
Cunningham.
The deposed city employee was
speedily found and notified that he
was wanted and from that time he
was accompanied by Lieutenant Dun
can and remained in custody. Up to
late hour Cunningham mad not
been placed in Jail.
The proceeding which seems to
be somewhat shrouded in mystery
and confusion is one of the direct
results of a discovery Of defal-
cation in the city clerks office to
the extent of nearly $4,000. A COM
phint against City Clerk Cristie has
already been filed and hearing set
for November 18th with bail furnish
-" IL sum OF 5. >,Ua.
No complaint or warrant was is
sued in Cunningham case the ex
planation given by Chief Burke be-
ing that neither the district attor-
ney nor the justice OF the peace
could be found and his orders were
to take Cunningham in charge with
cut delay.
Although Chief Burke declared that
he was not permitted to divulge
the details Of the cause of arrest,
it was stated on good authority that
the arrest was made on the request
OF Agent Pickard of the National
Surety company, who is on the
ground and who it is understood
mas been making thorough examina-
ton of the affairs of the city clerk
Office. 1t is believed that he has
discovered some discriminating cir-
cumstance and that the action if
verified would indicate that the com
pany is about TO institute criminal
proceedings to we'll known custom
of discouraging such losses.-Jour-
