REV. ROBT. MCLEAN ASKS
SOME POINTED QUESTIONS

To the Editor: Some of us are so
constituted that we can not help ask
ing questions. When anything of
public interest makes its appearance
any member of that body known as
"the public" has right to put in
his question. Just at present we
have such case; and here are few
questions:
Why was the outgoing city admin
istration so anxious to serve the
hquor interests that special cleo
tion was ordered to license the sa-
looms of the city In the face of the
belief on the part of many of our
best authorities that such an election
would be illegal? The taxpayers
have had to bear the expense of that
election, and now IL the opinion of
the attorney general In a parallel
case is sustained by the supreme
court, those same taxpayers will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they have been bled In the interest
of-wnat?
And this suggests another ques-
tion: II the present council should
grant licenses by virtue of that hasty
and ill-advised election, and the sa-
loon-keepers should go to great ex
peuse in the purchase of fixtures and
stock, and then the decision of the
court declare the election void, and
as a consequence, the licenses voit
also, would not the city be found de
fendant in a number Of heavy dam
age suits for the outlay based upoI
said licenses?
1t seems to me that were | to Civ
a contract for a deed to valuabl
property, and the purchaser shoul'
go to great expense in improvements
and then I should be unable to de
liver the goods, would have to pa
said purchaser all the expense of tn
outlay based upon said contract.
Would not the license be In tn
nature of contract? And woul
not the taxpayers again be bled |
the interests of that class whic
brings nothing into the city but, ur
like mortal man going out of tn
world, takes great deal out?
And this suggests another questio
still: 1t Is evident to all that the 81
looms are running at present abot
as II they had licenses, and the ol
style crop of drunks has again al
peared on the streets.
believe our present mayor II
tends to give us square administr'

SOUTH FORK MILL BURNED

The South Fork mill and con-
tents were entirely destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon. From
the information We were able to
get, it appears that the fire started
in the attic Of the mill and that it
was caused either by a hot box UT
by friction of the machinery.
The fire was first discovered
about 2 o'clock by Mra. Ogilvie
who lives about 4 quarter of a
mile from the mill. She phoned
to Mrs. Williams whose husband
was running the mill. She notified
Mr.. Williams and he started up
stairs to the fire and was driven
back by the smoke. The neigh
bors soon gathered at the mill
but could do nothing toward saw
ing it as the fire spread rapidly.
They turned thier attention toward
saving the warehouse and store
house a few feet away from the
mill and by hard work succeeded.
The mill was built about thirty
years ago by the late John Ainley
and is said to have cost $4,000.
1t was remodeled a few years ago
and vas fitted up with the latest
milling machinery. The loss to
Messers Hylton & Williams will
probably reach between $25. 900
and $50. 600.

little was accomplished by the
meeting.
That the attitude of the railroad
company has changed toward Nc
vada and it's leople in the las.
three years is plainly evident to
every one.
The cause of this change Is
largely due to the coming Of the
Western =. cific and the radical
change in the policy Of the rail
road toward the state. lrstCaC
of treating Nevada as merely I
bridge for Interstate traffic, the
Southern Pacific has adopted the
policy of building up the state and

CHARLES LANE AS SILVER MAN

With the death of Charles Lane
passes n of the most p]icturesque
figures Of Western mining. He was
a gold miner and took tons of the
precious metal from the earth.
In spite of that he was a silver man
on the ground that it was unfair to
make gold valuable at the expense
of the men who owned silvr mines.
He financed Bryan's personal
campaign and gave him $4,000
to help pay expenses.
At st. Louis at the Bi-metalIic
Conv ention the Nevada Delegation
were about broke. They were
discussing the financial situation
at a hotel sitting around a table.
Lane overheard and as he passed
he carelessly tossed n big, fat
pocket book over into the group
and remarked:
Help yourselves, pcntlcn," and
walked on.
The writer undid the strap of the
wallet and it was fled with $1,000
green-backs. Each man took
what he wanted and in about ten
minutes Lane showed up pufing
a long cigar.
All hands thanked him and each
mar proceeded to tell how much
he had borrowed. Lane waved
them aside with:
"Oh. don't bother about details
J am willing to loan you all the
money you need, but I'm blamed

PREPARED FOR DEFEAT

Santa Anna was the greatest
military leader the Mexicans have
ever known. Santa Anna with 25,-
600 veterans. went into the battle
of Buena Vista with the avowed
purpose of discriminating the
entire army of the United States
and there was no doubt in the
mind of Santa Anna that this great
feat could be accomplished with
comparative ease. General Taylor
with his 5000 men prepared for
the unequal contest and not only
defended himself successfully but
won a s%ubtantial victory from his
aggressive antagonists and drove
them from the battlefield of Buena
Vista.
Some time after the battle was
fought and the Mexican war con-
cIuded General Taylor was
criticised for having made no
preparations for the retreat of his
army in the event of defeat.
General Taylor promptly replied:
IL made every preparation
necessary for the battle of Buena
Vista. ] wrote my will and 50 did
nearly every nan in my army. If
we had not won that battle we
would have needed no lines of
retreat. 1t was from our stand
point. victory or humiliation. The
only preparation necessary for the
contingency of defeat at Buena
Vista was that we should write

The defendant was discharged
from custody. but was arrested on

Deputy Sheriff Critchley as he left
the court room. He was lodged in
Jail to await the arrival of Sheriff
Lamb.
On motion of the district
attorney the indictment against
Frank Anderson. charged with per-
jury, was dismissed and he was
discharged from custody.
In the case of the state against
Sam Bachman, Judge Orr filed a
decision quashing the indictment on
the ground that the case had been
improperly re-submitted to the
grand jury, the preceding grand
jury having ignored the charge.
The cast If the state against A.
Primsaux, Roy Primeaux and

Carren moved for a seperate trial
for the Primeauxs.
The court excused the vcnirmen
during the argument of the motion
with Instructions to report at 2
o'clock.
Attorney NcCarren then read
the afidavits of the two defendants
and of several citizens in support
of his motion for a new trial. He
then called A. W. Sewall. the
prosecuting witness. to the stand,
but Attorney Levers for the state
objected to any evidence being
offered in support of the motion.
After some argument. the court
at the request of Attorney Levers,
took a reces until 2 o'clock to
give the state an opportunity. to

At this afternoon session.. the
veniremen were excused until 10
