The Goldfieldcr admits that he
visited Carson recently and while
there selected his home for two
years to come; therefore il is
absolutely safe to say that he will
be looking after some of the state
interests during that period.

company with a playmate, in a

Then the mischief he bad wrought
and the reputation it might give
him were grave!y discussed.
He voluntarily offered to refund
the amount of his part OF the
damage out of his small savings
until full restitution was made.
This was finally agreed upon, and
here came the hard part for the
boy. His pocket money allowance
was 25 cents a week, which was
frequently reduced by fines for i'll

of etiqutte or duty. 1t took him
seven weeks to get out debt.

FATAL ACCIDENT

Thursday aftrnoon about 4
o'clock William Himsoth, while
falling a rec on the Cook ranch,
about four niles from Carson was
struck in the right temple with a
limb of the tree and received injuris
from which he died within a short
time. The deceased was an old
resident of Carson. living for many
years with his aged wife on the
Prison road beyond the Orphans
Home.
Mr.. Heimsoth had gone to the
Cook ranch shortly after noon
yesterday to assist an employee of
the ranch in cutting down some
small dead cotton wood trees.
They had fallen a couple If trees
and after chopping the last tree
nearly dnown had placed a rope
on one side of the branches and
proceeded to pull it over. The
old gentleman was walking back
ward and pulling on the rope when
the tree suddenly gave away and
fell. In his attempt to escape the
falling tree the old man fell and a
jagged limb struck him on the
right temple. The mar who was
with him pulled him from under
the tree and placed him in a reclin-
ing position against a tuft of earth
and rushed to the house, distant a
couple of hundred yards, for water
as the old man had asked for a
drink.
Mrs. Cook rushed to the scene
of the accident and found that the
old man was unconscious anC
apparently not suffering much
pain. She raised his head into her
lap and bathed his forehead with
the water hat she had brought
with her. She asked the old man
if he was badly hurt and he replied
that he did not think that he was.
He then attempted to rise and fell
back dead in her arms.

A WITTY REPLY

Whenever the United States
supreme court on hearing the
argument of counsel for plaintiff in
error is entirely satisfied that he
has no case the chief jul tice is apt
to say to counsel for defendant in
error that the court does not care
to hear further argument. AT one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter,
from Wisconsin was counsel for
plaintiff in error and opened the
case. Before he was through the
court was satisfied that there was
nothing in it, and so when he had
concluded and counsel for
defendant in error arose Chief
Justice Waite said. THE court does
not care to hear any further
agument."
Counsel for the other side was a

that the chief justice spoke. did

ONE OF NEVADES NEEDS

One of the .nings the incoming
legislature mould do is to provide
n suitable place for the confinement
of yorthful criminals. Every state,
except Nevada, has a reformatory
fr incorrigible boys and girls and
such an institution is badly needed
here. Our iails and penitentairy
are not fit places for the
confinement of young criminals.
There they are brought in direct
association with Observation-Disclosures
and the chances of their reform
are greatly Iessened.
Many a boy and girl who start
off wrong could be shown the
error Of their ways and started on
an upward career that would make
useful citizens, if sent to a reform
school instead of 10 our jails and
penitentary.
Nevada is growing rapidly in
wealth and population and the
maintenance of such an institution
would not be a heavy drain upon
her citizens. Even if it we're 4

POPE ADMITTED TO BAIL

Assistant District Attorney
Carville returned Saturday after
noon from Jalbidge, where he
attended the preliminary examina-
ton of Roy Pope. charged with the
murder of a miner at Jarbidge
several weeks ago.
The examination was held last
Thursday before Justice of TIE
Peace Ray at Jarbidge. The state
had the body of the man exhumed
and Dr.. West performed an autopsy
to determine the point Of entrance
and course of the bullets. The
autopsy showed that the dead man
had been shot twice from behind.
One of the bullets struck him in
the back and passed clear through
the body; the other struck his left
arm below the elbow and passed
upward and lodged against the
skin above the elbow.
After the evidence had all been
submitted, Judge Ray held Pope
under $1,000 bonds to appear before

bonds and was given his liberty.
