SHOOTERS
SHOT BY FINES
GUS MUNTER AND NICK LAPOLLA
EACH ASSESSED FIVE HUN
DRED DOLLARS OR SIX
MONTHS IN JAIL.

August Munter, veteran of the
Spanish-American war, and Nick
Lapolla, who participated in shoot
ing affray at Hamilton about two
weeks ago, in which thirteen shots
were discharged at close range with
out any fatalities being reported,
were each fined $500 in the justice
court last Wednesday afternoon on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons, or given the alternative of
spending six months in the county
Jail.
The two gun toters were arraigned
before Justice Cartwright on the mis-
demeanor charge. Both entered
pleas of guilty to the offense charged
in the complaint. Munter had his
hearing in the morning, while La
polla did not get his sentence until
several hours later. Both offenders
received the heaviest penalty that
could be imposed against them.
Munter is dissatisfied with the
verdict of the justice court and has
declared his intention of carrying the
case to higher tribunal. He is
endeavoring to avoid payment of the
fine, claiming that it is excessive.
Lapolla was unable to meet pay
ment of the fine, and unless unfor-
seen circumstances occur, he will
have plenty of leisure moment dur
ing the next six months, having been
doomed to spend that period in en-
forced confinement behind Jail bars.
In rendering judgment, Justice
Cartwright said that he hoped to
make unpopular and expensive the
practice of persons making walk
ing arsenals of themselves. The
court commented on the fact
that it was remarkable that no
suit of the shooting scrape. He
said that the most effective way of
preventing the carrying of concealed
weapons was to mete out severe pen
alties to all offenders, and intimated
that this policy would be enforced
in the future.
Trouble of short standing between
the two men lead to the duel on Sep
tember 80 on the main street of
Hamilton. Munter fired eight in
effectual shots at Lapolla. The
Italian discharged his weapon five
times, two of them taking effect.
One was DETECTED by watch fob and
the other struck one of hunters
ribs. Neither of the wounds were of
serious nature. When the shoot
ing was over Lapolla escaped to the
hills, but was captured in the north
end of Newark Valley by Deputy
Sheriff Veal and Mike Harrington
after hard chase

liner. He is credited with the only
error during the game.
The contest was stopped for few
minutes in the sixth when Snodgrass
spiked Baker while sliding into
third. After Bakers wounds were
dressed the game vas resumed.
There was nothing of an exciting ma
ture in the sixth, but in the next
frame the Giants crcled the bases
again. Two-baggers by Myers and
Devore was responsible for the third
run. There was no further scoring.
The Giants did not play their half of
the ninth. New York secured five
hits off Bender, while Mathewson
was touched up for six bingles.

CLEANING OUT
THE REDL|GHT
GRAND JURY Is AFTER THE IDLE
RICH OF THE SUNSET DIS
TRICT, AND THE WORD Is
THAT THEY MUST GO.

The idle rich of the Sunset dis
trict, in the western part of Ely, are
scurrying away from the district in
search of more congenial winter
quarters. Hurrying them up in their
quest is the long and forceful arm of
the grand jury, which has been do
ing something the past few weeks
besides sitting
The idle rich" is a society term
for the denizens of the red-light, who
toll not, neither do they spin. At least
they hadn't spun before the grand
jury began weaving a net for them;
but the inquisitors have them spin
ming now. Leaches of society, thriv-
ing on the earnings of unfortunate
disgrace and a detriment to any COM
munity-complaints have come to
the grand jury that they have been
getting too prominent in the day
light, have been raising their eyes to
respectable women, ogling school
girls.
The grand jury could not but take
notice of this class of complaint; and
they went into the matter with de-
termination of making clean sweep
of the notorious characters of the
red light. They started out with
the proposition that men of such a
calling. or lack of calling, must be
of the criminal class. Just how they
proceeded to deal with the question,
is the grand jury's secret; but that
the method has been effective, has
been shown by the defamation in the
ranks of the mo goods
Two men of the stamp are in jail
One of them has proved to be a de-
serter from the U. S. Navy, and it
will be up to the naval authorities to
deal with him. He, it is said, is a
newcomer in the district, and was
living with woman called Babe
The records of the oldtimers, who
have infested the redlight so long in
apparent security, are being looked
into, and the army of non-workers is
shivering in alarm, not knowing
where the arm of the law is next to
fall. There is a general stir all
along the line. and those who can get
out of the district are making tracks
for the big cities of the white lights.
Ely is no longer a haven of rest for
them, and when they leave, it is
with long farewell.
From all that can be learned, the
grand jury is not striving to emulate
Salt Lake in its action with the stock
ade in the City of Saints" They
are after the Creatures" of the ten
derloir, and it is said for them that
their labOrs will not cease until the
evil is wiped out of the district. To
accomplish this, it would be profit
able to the county to keep the in
quisitors in session until the last
Lazarus of the redlight feast is on
his way.

Many Cases to Be Set for
Hearing During the Fall Term
of the Tribunal
FIFTY TRIAL JURORS CALLED
MORAN WILL SIT FOR
JUDGE COLEMAN IN ACTIONS
QUALIFIED.

WIN only TWO eases OH lHe CIlHi-
nal calendar, the fall term of the dis
trict court will be convened by

The first case that will be called
is that of the state of Nevada against
J. H. McMurray on the charge of en-
bezzlement. The defendant is ac-
cused of having appropriated to his
own use $3.50 that was entrusted to
him by Oscar Palmquist, with which
to purchase 100 shares of Giroux
stock, and having failed to make de-
livery of the stock, or return the
money.
McMurray was convicted of en-
bezzlement last June after stub
born legal battle, in which every
legal technicality was taken advan-
tage of. He was granted new trial
on the ground that one of the dputy
sherffs had been guilty of official
indiscretion in discussing the merits
of the case with one of the jurors,
tion.
After the McMurray trial is con-
cluded, Oscar Baldwin generally
known as Peggy" will be rtied in
Judge Coleman's court for grand
larceny. Baldwin was indicted by
the grand jury on the charge of be-
ing implicated in the theft of about
thirty-five head of horses from John
Magnuson. The animals were after
wards driven to Utah by Baldwin
and G. d. Gordge, and disposed of to
eastern horse buyers.

cases disposed of as follows. Fulmer

TAFT BEST 'TRUST BUSTER. "
Department of Justices Report Shows That Present Administration Is Out
 stripping Rooseveit's Record.

The department of justice has just issued pamphlet of fifty pages which contains the record of trust prosecu- tions from the Harrison administra- ton, beginning March 4. 1889, to July 1. 1911.
 It shows that in the enforcement of the Sherman antitrust law the admin tstration of President Taft is outstrip- ping that of his predecessor.
 In all of the Roosevelt administra- ton eighteen bills in equity were filed and twenty-five indictments obtained. In two and one-half years of President Taft's administration ten bills In equity have been recorded Fl trust prosecu- tions and sixteen attachments obtained
 The proportion Is very much in fa vor of MT. Taft and his attorney gen eraI. The Mckinley administration marked the low water mark for trust prosecutions with only three bills in equity.

UNITED STATES IS
 WATCHING MEXICO,
Trouble al Pu9bla May Cause
 Another Mobilization.

The eyes of President Taft and his advisers are turned again toward tur' bulent Mexico, and if the conditions that have recently developed between the federal army and the forces of Madero should become worse it is not unlikely that the army may be drawn up again along the Mexican line.
 As a result of the fighting in Pueb- la it has been decided that no further orders shall be issued for the with drawal of troops from San Antonio O. the Mexican border.
 With several regiments already with drawn from Galveston, San Diego and San Antonio, 1t is realized that only the nucleus of an army division re- mains in the southwest, and should the conditions in Mexico grow alarm ing it would most likely be necessary to return the troops already with drawn.
 AS the result of the situation in Puebla representatives of the state department have been instructed to keep their chief posted on every move, ment. Little surprise over the turn of affairs is manifested in some circles where it was feared that with the re. tirement of Diaz the worst was yet to come.
 Shortly after Madero made his tri. umphant entry into the City of Mex leo 1t began to appear to some of the students of the situation that he was actually in power and that the pro- visional president, De Ia Barra, was acceding to his demands on almost ev- cry point.
 Whether this, twas true and a rupture between them has occurred or wheth- CT President De Ia Barra acted with entire independence. the fact remains that the federal troops. under orders from De Ia Barra. are engaged in ef- forts to compel the belligerent Nader. ists to put down their arms.
 This. 1t appears. may not be accom-. plished without a considerable amount of fighting.

referred to the comptroller of the treasury by the secretary for an opin- ion. The comptroller decides the legal questions involved and the secre- tary determines upon the administra- tive course to be pursued The Wiley case. however, was brought to Presi- dent Taft's attention by Secretary Wilson at a cabinet meeting. The secretary himself had not passed upon 1t. The charges had been drawn up by personal committee of the depart ment composed of three subordipates and were presented to the president for action. The president in turn re ferred the case to Attorney General Wickersham. The attorney general made his recommendation purely on the legal question involved.
 The criticism against Secretary Will son is that had he disposed of this purely departmental question by him. self the present situation would not have arisen.
 AS MT. Wilson is well advanced in years and has broken all records for cabinet tenure. it would not cause much surprise if the secretary should decide to retire to private life.
