Mr.. Castlemaine looked at her

own such a place as this and then
selfishly reserve it all to himself.

Yes, it has," she said.
An angry look shot from John
Castlemaine's eyes. The girls de-
termination was so absurd that he
had difficulty in keeping himself
from speaking impatiently. He kept
silent, however. He reflected that
the tragic death OF Leicester was
so recent, that Olives mind was
in a morbid condition.

Mr.. Solomon Grubbs
Is hard to please
He's always grumblng
And i'll at ease.
All through last week
We heard him complain,
I'VE folks will starve
If We don't get rain.
Why, the gardens are dead
And the wells are dry
And the grass is yellow
And ready to die;
Amid the cotton wont grow,
And the banks will fail,
And an airship will hit
This town with its tail;
And fall will come on.
And goodness knows
Where we'll get the cash
To buy winter clothes.
why the ranch is dry,
And the cattle must feed
And a big fat rain
Is what We need.
And he said, by Heck,
And he growled. By Joe,
I'm going to pack
My things and go
Where it rains sometimes
And the crops are good"
And the neighbors smiled.
And hoped he would!
But the rain came down
In gentle showers,
And the earth reioiced
I'm its fruits and flowers
And the wild birds sang
In joyous refrain
And the whole town smiled
When they got that rain.
Then old Mr.. Grubbs
Began to complain:
They don't use judgment
In sendin' us rain.
WIZ, the rivers will rise
And will soon overflow,
And the houses will float
From their blocks, | know,
And the gardens will rot
And the fruit will fall.
And the farmers won't make
No crops at all"
And the neighbors listened
And sadder grew
How to please Mr.. Grubbs
No neighbor knew.
But they sadly smiled
And took new heant,
For the Lord had tried
And had missed the mark!

A L|NCOTN STORY

following story to D. H. Bates,
manager of the war department
telegraph office:
I'm like an old colored man |

time preaching to the other slaves
it kept him and them from their
labors. His master told him he

with tears in his eyes. I always

"What is the text, marsa?" asked

M'FARLAND KILLED

The remains Of Hyrum Nc Far.

day by E Mcfarland and Howard
Skeen, who went to Cariln, Nevada
Wednesday morning when the news
Of the death of Hyrum was receiv-
ed, and attended the coroners in

Hyrum Mcfarland was among the
most progressive men of this city.
He was closely identified with the
sheep industry of this section for
numbearof years, and was secretary
of the Ogden Woolgrowers' associa-
tion from its inception until he met

left the hotel at 1915, but never

ELK0 TO HAVE SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION

Elko is to have the next annual
state Sunday-scool convention which
meets in April, 1911. At the meet
ing of the Executive Committee,
held in Reno, on Monday evening it
was unanimously voted to hold the
Convention at this place. The con-
test had narrowed down to Elko
and. Carson City, but the workers
in the eastern part of the state, got
busy and flooded the committee
with resolutions and personal let
tiers, with the. result that Elko has
secured the honor. This will be
the first time that the Sunday
school convention has been held in
the eastern part of the state.
Ralph w. Nelson, State Sunday
school secretary. writes the follow
ing: Eve feel sure that this con-
vention is. going to be a great sue
cess, and can assure you of the
help and cooperation of all the
officers of the Association. The
executive committee feels that on
effort ought to be spared to make
this the best convention that has
vever been held in the state.
Rev. P. S. Smith was appointed
a committee of one to confer with
Sundray-schol workers in the west
ern part of the state, as to the best
time of holding the convention, and
he will meet with all who can come
in Elko, on Wednesday evening,
June 8. We hope that as many as
possible will be able to meet him on
that day.,

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
is CONSTITUTIONAL

Judge Sweeny received dispatch
from Congressman Bartlett-yester-
day stating that he would not be a
candidate forreongress this fall nor
for:any other Office in the gift of
the!people of Nevada. This determ-
ination, he says rests upon gounds
of personal character with which
Judge Sweeney and other friends
have been familiar for some time,
but. in which the public would not
be interested.
The agony is over and those who
shed crockodile tears over the test
of the primary election law, passed
by the last legislature, can now shed
tears of JOY for the supreme court
Friady evening filed a unanimous
decision sustaining the constitu-
ionality of he law.
A special dispatch from the Reno
Gazette, gives the following con-
corning the discision:
Reno, Nevada, June 4. 1910.
Independent, Elko, New.
The supreme court yesterday
decided the direct primary law con-
stiuional by unanimous vote. The
decision was written by Justice
Sweeney. Every point urged by
the defenders of the measure is full
ly sustained by the court, and it
finds no merit in any of the conten-
tions made by those who attacked it,
The only question undecided is
the right of a defeated candidate
to seek nomination in some other
way. The court held that this
point was not touched upon in the
bill of complaint and it therefore
had no power to rule on it at this
time. The court intimated that this
point would be passed upon should
test case be made,

result was Constable Oudrekirk was
put on the trail of the two men and
Cadagan was arrested for violating
the speed limit of the ordinance.
"A complaint was sworn to by Mr..
hIgginbotham and Judge Morgan
fixed Cadagan's bail at $1,000. He
thought from this that the Judge
meant business and concluded to
plead guilty. He wanted to know if
the sentence could not be suspended
during good behavior and Judge
Morgan informed him that he
would suspend sentence just long
enough for him to dig up the fine.
After some consultation Cadagan
plead guilty and was fined $50,
which he paid. If he violates the
ordinance again, he should get the

SHOULD WITHHOLD JUDGMENT

Inc Bonanza does not know
whether Owens accounts are short
and will not attempt to make a
guess on the question until a report
is made. The fact that there is not
sufficient money in his bank account
in Tonopah would not alone prove
his inability to SETTLE, because it is
possible that Mr.. Owens had money
in other banks or other repositories.
It is possible that if Mr.. Owens
were here, everything could be set
tied without trouble and salts
factorily explained. 1t is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Owens is temporarily
suffering from some mental
affection and has no in tention of
absconding or defrauding the county
or state out of any moneys.
The fact that Mr.. Owens could
have drawn out all of the money
from the Nevada First National
bank of Tonopah, and the further
fact that he left property in his
safe of value, and the further fact
, that he left in the town seven or
eight houses unencumbered, at
least to certain extent sustains
the theory that Mr.. Owens is men
tally deranged. 1t is more chart
table to withhold judgment, at
least until an investigation is COM
pleted.
The unexplained absence of Mr..
Owens and the interests of the
county may require that the county
! commissioners Immediately appoint
successor to Mr.. Owens. The
Bonanza believes that Vail Pittman
chief deputy under Mr.. Owens, is
logically entitled to appointment to
fill out Ovens unexpired term. He
! is absolutely familiar with every
branch of the office and at thi;
juncture can more readily straight.
en- out the affairs of the office ant
economically administer them. He
can in no way be held to blame TO,
Mr.. Ovens conduct or any shortage
in the office that may exist. 1t i.
true that in addition to his other
many duties he kept the books OF
the office, but while he kept them
he only had authority to enter the
money received and paid out. He
had no right to question Mr.. Owens
with regard to the disposition of
such money. Aa a deputy, that is,
hired man, it was not his place to
criticise his employers methods.
There are other county officers
whose duty it is to keep a check on
the sheriff.
The fact that there is shortage
in the accounts, if there is such a
shortage, does not mean that the
books are not correct. The books
are correct if they show the money
received and paid out.
Mr.. Pittman is not to blame for
MIR. Ovens acts, and it is ex-
ceedinly unjust to deprive him of
the control of the Office during the
remainder Lof the term. Such an
act would reflect upon his ability
