NARROW ESCAPE

Emmett D. Boyle, state engineer
for Nevada, left for home Sunday
on the freight after spending a
week in the county looking up
matters connected with water
rights III Spring and Snake valleys.
Coming from Spring Valley the
other night in company with A. l..
Hagiht over the Fletcher road up
Kalamazoo creek they found the
road was in very bad condition and
it was necessary to proceed with
great caution. In spite Of this,
however, while Haight was going
ahead to spy out the road Boyle
drove into a chuck, hole and was
thrown from the rig. Hit left leg
was caught in one of the front
wheels and severely bruised and he
had a narrow escape from being
seriously injured or perhaps killed
and considers he was fortunate to
get off as well as he did.
While here Mr.. Boyle investigated
a number of complaints regarding
water rights and was successful in
setting several of them to the
Satisfaction Of the ranchers. -

ISN'T he THE HOLD.UP MAN7

Last, nights Free Press contained
slur on the democratic papers Of
Elko county that the Independent
cannot permit to go unanswered.
In reply to a squib of the Carlin
Commonwealth, it said in substance
that it was not compelled to hold
up candidates and left that to the.
democratic papers of the county.
Speaking for itself alone, the
Independent brands the insinuation
as a malicious lie and its author as
a malicious liar. BY his insinu-
alton, Mr.. Clark forces us in self
defense to publish the only case of
the hold-up of a candidate that
came to our knowledge during the
campaign. and it reflects no credit
upon the man who penned the
insinuation in last nights Free
Press.
When the campaign started, the
independent made a rate of $40
for political announcements and
the Free Press did the same. When
Mr.. Horsey made his announcement,
he sent check of 500 to his paper
and one for the same amount to
the Free Press. This being $40
more than we charged for an
no uncements check for that
amount was returned to Mr..
Horsey. Did the editor of the
Free Press do the same? Not on
your life. He kept the $50. If
that was not q told-up or a steal of
$40, what was it?
In the light of this transaction,
what do the people think of Editor
Clarks incinuation against the
democratic papers of this county?
Isn't he the boss hold-up man?
In this connection, we wish to
say that from the beginning to the
close of the campaign. the indie
pendent did not solicit an an
nouncement or work of any kind
from any candidate. On the
contrary, it extended to every
candidate on the democratic state
ticket but one that visited the Office
the use of it's columns free of
charge. The only exception was
Mr.. Ross and he was in the. Office
but a few minutes and we had no
opportunity to extend the courtesy
to him. Messrs. Sprague, Pittman,
Ryan, Davis. Farnsworth BrodiRan
and Bray are among those to whom
the courtesy was extended.
