REFUSE PARDON
TO F. EVERETT

Frank Everett was not paroled
by the Board of Pardons last even-
ing as was hoped by many would
be the case. A splendid plea was
made for his liberty by Judge
Curler and evidence adduced
which tended to show that he was
sane and sound. Mrs. Malone,
the widow of Everett's victim was
present with brother of Malone
and a lady relative and their pres
ence had great deal to do with
the verdict An attorney from
Yerington, by the name of Pilking-
ton, made disgusting spectacle of
himself in showing his hatred and
spleen for Everett in revolving
manner and Was promptly chastis-
ed by the words of Attorney Curler
and the disgusted looks upon the
face of the members of the Board.
From what we were able TO learn
last evening alter the adjournment
OF the Board the vote was three to
two against the paroling OF Everett
although il is the intention to give
him all possible freedom by allow
ing him to go the new prison site
to work and will allow his case TO
be taken up again at the next
meetsng of the Board in January
and providing no relapses in his
condition have taken place in the
meantime will probably be parol-
eb. In the meeting in January
there will at least be two new
members on the Board and the
fear of antagonizlng some voter
will have passed Carson News.

VIM. WENNHOLD KICKED
TO DEATH BY A HORSE

William Wennhold was kicked
and tramped to death by a horse
on the IL. Marquart ranch Tuesday
evening at seven o'clock.
The victim of this fatal accident
had worked in the hay field all
day and at quitting time, unhich-
ell his team and took them to the
barn. There was no eye witness
to the beginning of The accident,
but it is supposed that the horse,
wich is vicious animal, kicked
Mr.. Wennhold, as he was going in
TO the stall, breaking his leg. He
fell beneath The animals feet and
was literally tramped to pieces.
A fellow workman, who was in
another part of the big barn, hes rd

s ,e what the trouble was. Seeing
the helpless form beneath the
horses feet, he rushed up and
dragged the unconscious man from
the infnriated beast. He run for
help and the mangled body was
gently carried to the house and a
hurried call placed for physician.

No such thing a regency act was ever

that act. curiously enough, was the only
one which has ever taken effect, because
no regency act contemplates or provides

given 10 King Henry to nominate a Coun-

It was accomplished in the latter man

the Council made the Duke OF Somerset
