Held Without Bail

Alexandra Gallegos, who shot and killed L D. Yeager last week near Humboldt, had his prelimi- nary examination last Saturday be- fore Judge George H. Francis of Humboldt and was bound over to the grand jury without bail on the charge of murder. Several wit nesses were examined and not a word of evidence in favor of the prisoner was introduced. When asked if he had anything to say. Gallegos answered in the negative. Witnesses to the cold blooded mur- der gave evidence that throws ad tional light on the crime, two stat ing that when MT. Yaeger was shot down, Gallegos was not over six feet distant. Gallegos, they stated, stepped up to his victim from be- hind and after tapping him on the shoulder sent a bullet into his head. The witness was not over six feet distant from MT. Yaeger and his evidence was substantiated by others.

CORONER HOLDS
 TWO INQUESTS

Justice of the Peace and Acting Coroner M. J. Rounseville held two inquests this week. The first was on the body of w. Lasoe,. who was killed Wednesday by being run over by an engine. The deceased was employed at the Sharp-Fellows railroad camp near Supai. He was working on the side track near where the steam shovel is in opera. tion. The noise of the shovel pre-. vented Lasoe from hearing the approach of the locomotive until it was upon him. The wheels passed over his body, resulting in almost instant death. The coro- ner's jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the above facts.
 It was the opinion of the coro- ner's jury which went out Thursday to Perkins, ranch, eight miles south of Williams, that the man found dead there had succumbed to the effects of bite from a hydro phobia skunk. The deceased was . Mexican sheepherder, Refusio Piro by name, and employed by W. O. Perkins. According to the testi- mony of another Mexican, Piro had come to the ranch from his camp on Wednesday morning, complain ing of feeling unwell. He drank a cup of coffee and then started from the house. When he reached the porch Piro was seized with convulsions and pitched forward to the ground on his face. The spssms continued until death, which followed in a few minutes after he fell. The witness also stated that the deceased told him he had been bitten by skunk on the nose . few months previous. The wound had healed, but the scars left by the animals teeth were plainly visible and the symptoms preced- ing death indicated hydrophobis as the cause. The remains were brought to Williams and buried from Buttons Undertaking estsb- Iishment.

WINS IN
 SUNDAYS BALL GAME
OF THE CLUBS,

The first. game played on our new ball park grounds was won by the home team. The contest was an exciting one from the time the first ball was pitched until Wins. low was defeated. The grand stand was an uproar of 'rooting" for the home team. The vacant seats in the grand stand were few, although the weather was bad all the after noon. In the fifth inning it began to hail stones as large as goose eggs and Umpire Kelly ordered 8 recess for ten minutes.
 Smith. the Indian who pitched for Williams, had some deceptive curves. The only clean hit made off him was by Ted Arce, who damned the ball squarely on the nose. and for time it looked as if it was going through one of Fred Holden's windows. By the time the sphere was got back to the field, Aroe had passed over the plate, scoring clean home run. Barclay also made a home run, but it was on account of the ball being thrown wild by the infield.
 Our boys had no trouble in find. ing Baca, as was demonstrated when Kline made his home run. The hit was a scorcher-a perfect liner between second and third bases-apd the ball kept rolling until it hit the shack used by the gun club. and Kline galloped home.

suited in a victory for the latter by a score of 10 to 4. The game the following day was also won by the home boys-4 to 3. Besides the high wind, small sized snow storm took part in the doings Sunday, stopping the game at the end of the 7th inning. The Flags will play Winslow here next Sunday.

Make Prisoners Self-Supporting

There are now thirteen prisoners confined in the county jail at Flag staff and prospects are good for five more within the next week. A total of twenty-two can be accom- modated by Sheriff Francis, after which it will be necessary to hang them up on nails to sleep. The board of these prisoners is costing the taxpayers Soc. per day for each one. Why not have a good county road surveyed between Flagstatf and Williams and, instead of sen- tencing petty offenders to serve time at the county's expense, give them 30. 60 or 90 days at building a good highway between the two towns. These fellows would not be so anxious to break into jail if they had to work for their board.

NUMBER OF TEACHERS
TO STUDENTS
NEVADA AVERAGES WELL
WITH OTHER COLLEGES

A list of the number of students
to teacher published in Science on
Friday, October 27, 1911, and prese
ted by president Stubs OF the
state University shows that Nevada
is on a general average with other
colleges and universities of the
country.
In connection with the report. DR.
Stubbs says.
Early in June the regents desir-
ed to know If the president of the
university could not reduce the
teaching force of the university on
the ground that we had too many
teachers and too few pupils. The
president said that he would COM
pute the number of students to
teachers in the university and the
university high school and report at
the July meeting. Taking the rec
ord of the new catalogue, the pres
idnte found that there were in the
their entire time to teaching, IA, as
sistant professors 2, instructors, 6.
Dividing the number of students In
attendance last year--212-- by Ia

JESSE OWENS
HELD FOR The
GRAND JURY
Story of the Shooting is BrOught
Out at the Preliminary
Examination.
DEFENDANT GIVES 81 900 BOND
injured Chinaman Slowly Recover
ing. Faints during Prelimi-
nary Examination.

Monday Justice Hood, bound
over to the grand jury Jesse Owens,
on a charge of assault with intent
to kill, the alleged assault having
been committed on a chinaman on
the John G. Taylor ranch last We'd
nesday.
The preliminary hearing, at which
District Attorney Callahan was pres
ent for the State and Attorney r.
M. Hardy for the defendant was
held last Friday and over dozen
witnesses testified. The testimony
was read over to the witnesses on
Monday and the dicision announced
The testimony did not differ mat
erlally with the story of the shoot
ing as published in the last issue
of the Tribune. 1t was brought out
quite thoroughly that the injured
chinaman Charlie Gee" was of q
had trouble on several occasions al
the ranch and had threatened viol-
snce in at least one instance.
The quarrel between Owens and
the chinaman began some time
ago and i'll feeling existed between
them. On the morning of the shoot
ing the quarrel was renewed, and
the chinaman Is alleged to have
made threat against Owens
The latter testified that when he
went 10 dinner, he put his CUR
In his pocket and after dinner In
vited the chinaman out into the
yard to fight 1t out. The chinamar
agreed to come out and started fol
his room. Knowing" the defenda
said, that he kept his guns In
that room, and that l knew him to
be q dangerous man, took nc
chances and fired at him."
The chinaman, although not mort
ally wounded, is neverthe less In a
poor condition. He was overcome
in court during the preliminary ex-
animation, and was unable to be
present in court Monday during the
reading of the testimony, 1t hay-
ing been necessary to adjourn court
to the room where he Is confined.
However, DIR. West who Is attend
ing the injured man does not look
for any serious out come, ,and hopes
to have his patient SOON entirely
recovered. That such will be the
case Is the sincere hope of the man..
friends of Owens. The complete re-
covery of the, chinaman, would OF
course effect the seriousness OF
the charge against the defendant.
