Only the fire proofness OF the adj

from spreading. The small wooden
structure encased between brick build
ings for a time soared like furnace

by Joseph Koslovsky and had been oc-
cupied by Mr.. Pope in the tailoring
business for nearly twenty years. His
business was one OF the old estab-
lished ones. and tho in old quarters he
catered to exclusive trade. His stock

Mr.. Pope was notified OF the fire in
his store after 1t had almost been ex-
tingushed. When he got down town
he was greatly grieved over his loss
His estimation Of his loss he think,
Is conservative. His last invoice showed

tanned from the supreme court OF the
United States an Interpretation that
recognized and upheld the power and
authority OF the state. These decisions
have since been Of great value and ad-
vantage to all the states. Wisconsin
has maintained the lead among the
progressive states to this day and has
enacted laws that define the right Of
the people and the corporations OF
greater value than all the other states
OF the union combined. I believe this
higher intelligence that enabled the
people of Wisconsin to better appre-
ciate and apply the principles OF rep
resentative government to the rela-
tions Of the individuals and corpora

growth Of the influence Of their great

An Aroused Public Conscience.
Progressive republicanism is but
the expression Of an aroused public
conscience. This is more intelligent in
states where better educational advan-
tages are enjoyed Speaking OF the
Wisconsin University that now has an
| attendance Of over 5000 students. re-
minds me Of an incident that occurred
while was attending the same. 1t was
| in the leafy month Of June in our SEN
| ior year and DR.. Bartlett. OF Chicago,
a great preacher and orator Of his day
and generation, came to deliver lee
| ture. I can not now remember any
thing he said, not even the subject, it
| was so long ago, just antedating the
| Christian era it would seem, save one
expression. I have retained that TO
! this date and it was as follows:
When the great soul Of the Amer
! ican people is once aroused it will vote
| for God and elect him every time
II have seen this exempliied many
times since and it is as true today as
| it was the time that DIR. Bartlett gave
| it first expression. It is the great
| American conscience that is the hope
and has been many times the salvation
| in other years of the American repub-

! this conscience"

new SCHEME ON

Hy Downs at the Tunnel is on
the main line of the tramps and
men who hike into this section
looking for work. The convict
camp, which is situated near Lake
View. is giving Hv a chance to get
rid of visitors. Whene yer man
shows up who is running a bluff
about work, Hy takes him up as
far as Lake View and shows the
visitors the convicts working on
the road and tells him to go down
and ask the boss for a job.
In about ten minutes the game
is over. Mr.. Tramp is on his way.
He approaches one of the prison
gangs working on the road, he
asks for the boss and strikes for a
job. All that is necessary is to
tell him that it is convict camp
and the way Mr.. Tramp makes
dust is worth mentioning. Hy has
worked off the joke on a number
of tramps and is good for a sea-

Work is progressing rapidly on

taken by the Sou thern Pa cific
company to ssen the grade of the

The cut off will be completed
inside of year although a great
deal of heavy work yet remains.
The route will be used exclusively
or eastbound traffic, as westbound
TRANS will be sent over the old

The grading has been completed
and the largest tunnels bored.
There are II Of them in all, which
vary in length from 300 to 5000

DISTRICT COURT
Court convened this morning

Court convened this morning
with very small attendance.
After court was opened Attor-
ney. Gedney stated that the state
was ready to proceed in the arson
case If the State VS.. A. Primeaux
and Roy Primeaux if necessary,
but he suggested that it would be
better to have the case laid over
until about September first as
it would be almost impossible to
secure a jury at now. because
of the haying season and that the
presence of the farmers at their
homes was almost imperative at
this time. He also stated tn at by
the first of September the new
court room would be ready for
occupancy and more CONVENIENCE
would be afforded. Judge Averill
stated that as there were no
jurors present they could not pro-
coed with another case. He also
stated that it would be necessary
for him to return to his own dis
trict as he had been alb sent now
for about seven weeks and there
were many matters that required
his attention. He has written to
Judges Duker, French, Orr and
Summers asking one of them to
take his place here. He .aid it
would be impossit lie also for him
to return this fall unless the law
absolutely required his return.
Attorney King for the defenants
then stated to the court that they
we're not ready to proceed at this
time. He said that the effect OF
the Dye verdict and the newspaper
reports of the trial would make it
almost impossible to secure a jury.
And that after consulting with
his associate. Attorney McCarrcn,
the defense would probably ask for
chance of venue.
The case was then adjourned
until 10 O'Clock Wednesday
morning. and court remained open
until II o'clock for any further
business that might come be-
fore it.

SECOND DEGREE VRSON

Saturday nigth the jury in the
Dye arson case brough in YER
diet Of quIity of second degree
arson as charged in the indict
ment.
1t was about o'clock Saturday
night when Attorney Gcdnry
finished the closing argument for
the state and about $3.50 o'clork
when the court had read the in
structions to the jury and they
retired.
The jury was out about an hour
and fifteen minutes and during
that time they took three ballots
before coming TO an agreement.
The first ballot stood IL for con-
viction and for acquittal. There
was a mistake in the second ballot
only eleven votes being cast, and
on the third ballot the vote was
unanimous for conviction. On
retiring the jury the judge
stated that the court would receive
their verdict DIT any time up to IL
O'Clock that night and that court
would then be close until Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. Attorney
McCarren for the def ensc objected
to this ruling on the ground that
it would tend TO hurry the jury in
rendering their verdict and the
court then stated that The verdict
would be received at any time the
jury came to decision.
After reaching an agreement the
the judge was summoned and
received, the verdict and set the
time for passing sentence on the
defendant. William Dyr,at 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Under the laws of Nevada the
crime of arson in the second
degree is the highest Indictment
that could be charged in this case.
In order that first degree arson
shall he charged some person
must be occupying the building at
the time IL is fired. The penalty
for second degree arson is not less
than one year and not more than
ten years in the pcnitcntiary.
