Within the past six months 90 divorces
have been granted by Judge W. II. Pike
and John 8. Orr OF Reno. Fifty-four
cases are now on file. The divorce colony
now numbers about $50. with additions
coming at the rate Of six a week.
The Trial Of John Cyty for the killing
Of @. Kyle Smith at Keane Wonder, near
Rhyolite, was concluded Saturday. The
verdict was acquittal. On the previous
trial, Q verdict OF m~anslaughter Was
rendered, but the case was sent back BY

letters have been mailed in the Reno
Post Office and received by local people.
and that he intends to immediatel y be-
gin some prosecutions.
Comment OF the various papers on the
action OF Judge Stevens In marrying the
Jap and the white girl in Goldfeld has
stirred up so much feeling that Stevens
has replied in q statement which surely
should set at rest any suspicion that the
Judge acted hurriedly in the matter,
and that j~ustifies him in his action. The
Judge points out in this statement where
in the action Of society toward an un-
fortunate girl who must work for her
living rather force her into q step like
this case, than help her. He says that
he had suspicious, which he afterward
had confirmed. that the marriage cere-
mony which he performed should have
beer consummated before it was. In
closing his statement Judge Stevens says.
IL simply say in conclusion that II society
would take measures to prevent the
association Of the white girls with the
Japanese upon such terms OF intimate
equality. the necessity for such marriages
might be prevented"

In the same issue the Gazette says
editorially:
As the days pass it seems as II the
failure of the Eureka County Bank is
going to develop into another OF those
d~isgraceful scandals that have done as
much to shame Nevada in recent years
as anything else. So far az can be
learned, the men in control OF the insti-
.uiion handled it, funds with utter
recklessness and disregard for the well
fare Of the depositors, dipping their
b.nds into it's treasury and using money
for other companies in which they were
the controlling interests. This is abso.
lutelv wrong. and il the reports that
have come to MS are true it would not be
strange il criminal actions were started.
II il high time that men who plunge
into banking should be made to know
that they must play fair or suffer the
nenalty-and the penalty should be
ssvere enough to prove a warning to
others.
