Great Water Power Possible.
A settling basin Of great volume IS
proposed as a source Of water supply.
Il is believed that sufficient water

There are, however. other difficulties

New Plan
on Resort

Hy Downs was among the visi-
tors from Lake View this afternoon
Hy insists that he has the finest
summer resort this side of tide wat
er He states that while Carson is
sweltering in its sur bath that the
draft through the tunnel has the eff
feet of frigidarium. All he has
to do is to place chair in front OF
the hole through the hill and by the
time the hot air from Carson reaches
him it is as cool as Chedic's refrig
orator. In the case of a hot wave
from the Reno end OF the game all
he has to do is to switch the chair
to the other end. Hy further states
that he can always tell when Ollie
Tennant is comnig as he shuts off
the draft through the tunnel.
Up to the present time the rattle
snake crop has been a failure, how
ever the gum drop patch is coming
along all right and he will be able
to supply any explorer with all they
want after the first frost.

A Boom
Political

County politics was a booming
yesterday and as result Wallace
N Evans announced himself for the
position of assemblyman and John
Gray will be in the fight for the nom
ination for sheriff.
Mr. Evans is well known in this
city where he has lived for many
years past and has always identified
himself with the republican party.
He is a man who has mahy friends
and will probably make a strong fight
at the primaries.
Jack" Gray is another old-timer
of Carson City and in the far dis
tant past was for many years con-
nected with the sheriff office OF
this county. John Gray is another
of the old line republicans and will
probably make stronger fight than
any other candidate in that party at
the September primaries.
The tine is getting short and local
politics are beginning to warm up
III both parties.

Petty Case
Before Board

The case of { { Petty, under SEN
tence of death for the murder of his
wife, came before the board OF par
dons at the morning session. Pet
ty killed his wife in what to the
average mind is cold blooded muir
der On the other hand strong
effort is being bade to have the sen
tence commuted to lie imprison-
ment on the ground OF sadistic in
sanity DR. A A Hepner appeared
before the board at the afternoon
session and explained his stand in
the case, contending that Petty was
undoubtedly insane at the lime OF the
shooting and that exainarOns OF the
eyes and skull have satisfied him that
this is the case.
Petty's attorneys Lunsford and
Woodburn, made lengthy pleas that
the sentence be commuted and lifc
imprisonment be made instead of
hanging The governors Office was
crowded during the time OF the ar
gument.
Up TO the time OF going to press
there had been no decision in the
Petty case. The board had this and
a number of other cases under CON
sideration. lit is likely that decis-
ion will be rendered this evening
in the Pettey case

No Pardon
For Smith

The board OF pardons yesterday
refused to grant JOS w Smith a pa
role. Attorney Hilton, counsel for
the Western Federation OF Miners,
presented case. As in former efforts
TO gain the freedom of his client
Mr. Hilton put up very strong ar
Gumcnt and endeavored to show that
the release OF Smith was as much oi
a matter of justification on law as
on the moral ground in the matter.
The case has occupied the attention
of the pardoning board at every ses
ion since Smith received his sen
,encc.
The fact that Smith was among
the leaders OF the labor agitators
at the trouble at Goldhelo and Ton
opah has attracted an unusual
amount OF attention. From the per-
sistent manner in which the case
comes up and the possibility that
there will be change in the par
doning board it is safe to say that
Smith will ultimately obtain his free
aom. His associate in the crime.
Preston, does not seem to be re-
ceiving the same attention. Both
men have a large following who are
persistent in thier endeavor.

Everett Case
Is Denied

The Everett case came up before
the state board of pardons yester-
day. In fact it occupied the entire
afternoon session. Everett, who was
Malone at Nina, has had cne of the
puZzling cases in science and Grim
inology. After his Imprisonment
and before in fact he was victim
of frenzy and brain trouble. Some
months ago an operation was per-
formed and needle removed from
his brain At the case before the
board yesterday the needle and the
diseased bone from the ksuil was
shown. la spite OF the fact that eX-
pert testimony OF physicians was
summoned a parole was denied Ev-
erett.
During the hearing OF the case
the widow Of the dead man was pre-
sent and through her attorneys made
a protest against granting a parole
to the imprisoned man. The board
while it has denied the pardon or
parole will give Everett a chance to
be in the open by working at the
new prison site. 1t is likely that
with a continuance of his good con-
duct that parole will be granted
at no very distant date. AS Everett
is very we'll known in this section
his application for pardon attracts
unusual attention.
