treasury department will reorganize
the minis making important
changes in the management of
assaying and metallurgical pro-
cesses. with view to greater ex-
petition and economy. Director
George E. Roberts. who has just

three years as president Of the
Commercial, National Bank of

saying that nothing in the wav of
a radical transformation is to be
anticipated. Mr.. Roberts says
that the investigation of conditions

merely for the purpose of intro
ducing some technical improve

4 PECULIAR WEAPON

Tom Cooking. Richard Thomas
and Paul Coryell returned yesterday
afternoon from a hunting triy, in
the vicinity Of the Chalk Hills and
while there. came across a
curiosity probably an internal
machine. 1t is round shaped aud
fitted with clockwork. On the top
of the machine are a number of
springs which connect with levers
fitted with strong springs. Zach
lever is over a No. IL shotgun
shell, and the clockwork can be so
arranged that the shells can be
fired at any time. Twelve empty
shells were in the machine when
it was found tied to the limb of a
pine tree. There is tin cover
fitted over he machine to protect
it from the elements.
i The curiosity attracted: a great
deal of attention last night at the
Capitol saloon, but no one seemed
toskno@ what it was fofa &,
& After the above was 3h' type it
was learned that the machine was
harmeless affair and had been
invented by Dan Wheeler for use
in his sheep camps to be fired once
each hour to scare coyotes away
from his fiocks. A sheepherder
had hung it in the tree and forgot
about it. Mr.. Wheeler has been
offering a reward of $40 for it's
recovery for some time

GETTING EVEN MAMA

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet-in that family. the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes tie door had
been locked without sound COM
ing from behind it. Not a
whimper, not sniffie. At last the
stern but anxious parent unlocked
the closet door and peered into the
darkness. She could see nothing.
What are you doing in here?"
she cried.
And then a little voice piped
from the blackness:
81 thpit oh your new dress and /
thpit on your new hat, and I'm
waiting for. more thipt to come to

MURDER At JARBIDGE

About 2:3O o'clock Saturday
afternoon, L. R. Pope shos and
killed Edgar Gugleard, about FIVE
miles from Jarbidge. The shoot
ing was the result of a quarrel
vzr a mining claim located by
Pope and jumped by Gugleard.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting and about all that is
known about it is the story told by
Pope. He claims that he went to
the disputed claim and asked Greg
leard why he had jumpe it and
that Gugleard came at him with
a"single jack" and that he knocked
that from his hand. Gugleard
then went for steel bar and he
(Pope) drew his pistoll and shot.
Three snots were fired, one of
which struck Gugleard just below
the left nipple. After the shoot
ing, Pope gave himself up to some
miners, who were working in the
neighborhood, and they turned
him over to Deputy Sheriff Hardin.
Gugleard lived about four hours
after being shot. He made a
statement to the miners, in which
he said Pope came to the claim and
told him that he (GugleariD ought
to be killed for jumping the claim.
That three shots were fired. He
said he expected to survive his
wounds and if he did he would
settle with Pope, but if he did not,
he did not want anything done
with him.
Pope is about thirty years of
age and Gugleard was about the
same age. Deputy Sheriff Hardin
reached Elko yesterday morning
with Pope and he is now in Jail.
Deputy District Attorney Carville
swore to a complaint against Pope
yesterday afternoon charging him
with murder Mr.. Carville left for
Jarbidge this morning to gather
evidence in the case.

We would have liked for the writer
who gave us the history of Martin Lu-
ther in last weeks News to have ex-
planned why Luther attacked the doc
trines Of the alleged sale of indulgenc.
es from the pulpit. Didn't John Tet-
EEL one of the Dominican monks who
was appointed to raise money for the
Improvement of st. Peters church in
Rome and other puroses go to the most
shameless extremes to get money! He
proclaimed that all punishments, pres
ent and future, human and divine,
we're under the control of the pope.
He even went so far as to teach that
the indulgences he offered were more
efficient in delivering men from pun
ishment than the merits of Christ
The flames which burned John Huss al
the stake for denouncing the corrup
tion of the clergy, lighted also the fires
of a civil war in Bohemia, which rag
ed with fury and varying success fol
many years. One eminent branch Of
the Hussites, as they were called, re-
mained true to their principles, and
were among the first to join Luther
and his associates at the Reformation.
