CHARGED With
GRAND LARCENY

w. w. Cutler and Mrs. N. v.
Cutler his wife, are under arrest at
Quincy, California, on the charge
Of grand larceny. committed at
Tecoma, in this county. last
October. At that time Cutler was
the telegraph operator and rail-
road agent at Tecnma.
1t is said that one day trunk
was put off the train at Tecoma by
mistake. No owner appearing,
the Cutters are said to have gone
through the trunk and appro-
priated its contents to their own
use. The owner of the trunk,
Miss ME-. Laughlin, determined to
find her missing property and
traced the Cutters to Quincy.
Here she did some dete ctive work
under the guise of soliciting orders
for lace goods and other articles
dear to the feminine heart. She
convinced herself that the Cutters
had her property and had their
house searched by an officer. The
search resulted in finding the miss
ing property. On the 9th of this
month complaint was made be-
fore Judge Klatte by H.H. Gordon,
the Southern Pacific detective,
and the defendant were arrested
on the request of Sheriff Harris.
They have waived requsition pro-
ceedings and Sheriff Harris will
probably go after tom tonight.
The property is described as
follows in the complaint: One
lady's gold watch, one pair of
opera glasses, one black willow
plume, two Rhinestone hatpins,
two silk gowns, one silk kimona
and numerous other articles of
wearing apparel.
Miss Langhrin is In Elko and
will remain here to prosecute the
Cutters.

SOUTH FORK MILL BURNED

The South Fork mill and con-
tents were entirely dchtroycd 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 Or
by frictipn Of the N trhin ,ry.
The fire was first discovered
4&IA 2 o'clock by MR.. Ogilvie
who lives about q quarter Of a
mile from the mill. She phoned
to Mrs. Williams whose husband
was running the mill. She notified
Mr.. Williams and started up
stairs u the iie anl was driven
back by the smoke. The neigh
bors soon gathered at the mill
hut could do nothing toward saw
ing it as The fire spread rapidly.
They 'urned thier attention toward
saving the warehouse and store
house few feet away from the
mill and by hard wolk succee ded.
The mill was built about thirty
years ego by the late John Ainley
and Is said to have cCs' $4,000.
1t was remodeled a few years ago
and was fitted up with the latest
milling machinery. The loss to
M essers Hylton & Williams will
probably reach between $3.50
and 100000.

A CALL TO P|ETY

What America needs more than
railway extension, and western
irriRatiG-, and a low tariff, and a
bigger wheat crop, and q merchant
marine, and new navy, is q
revival of piety, the kind mother
and father used to have-piety
that counted it good business to
stop for daily family prayer be-
fore breakfast right in the middle
OF harvest; that quit field work a
half hour earlierThursdsy night so
as to get the chores done and 20
to prayer meeting; that borrowed
money to pay the preachers salary
and prayed fervently in secret for
the salvation Of the rich man who
looked with scorn upon such un-
businesslike behavior. That's what
we need now to clean this country
Of the filth Of graft and of greed,
petty and big; Of worship of fine
houses and big lands and high
office and grand social functions.
What 10 this thing we are wjr-
Shipping but a vain repetition Of
what decayed nations fell down
and worshiped just before tn cir
light went out? Read the history
of Rome in decay and you will find
luxury there that could lay a big
dollar over our little douxhnut
that looks large to US. Great
wealth never made q nation sub
stantial nor honorable. There is
nothing no earth that looks good
that is 80 dangerous for a man or
a nation to handle as quick easy,
big money. II you d. resist the
deadly influence the chances are
that it will get your son. 1t takes
greater and finer heroism 20 dare
to be poor In America than TO

SUPREME COURT NAMES
A SPECIAL COMMISSION

This morning the members OF
the Supreme Court took up the
election contest cases between
Springmeyer vs.. Baker. and
Legate vs.. Josephs. As previously
announced the court decided to
name a com missioner or referee
to handle the ballots and thus save
the members Of the court the
trouble and time of going over
the matter.
George L. Sanford, the district
attorney of this county. wasnamed
to act for the members of the
court, his duties.and compensation
to be named later. On the 18th
Of June the matter comes up for
argument. Should the court find
that a contest is warranted the
date will be set and the count can
start.
In case of either side throwing
out ballots they will be set aside
and the Supreme Court will pass
upon their legality.
1t is understood that Spring
meyer will call for the Washoe
county ballots first. Should he
not find what he is looking for he
will call for other precincts and
counties. In case he should gain
any ballots he would rest the case
and then it would be up to Baker
to call for any additional ballots
he cares, to. The same precedent
will be used in the Legate-Josephs
case. Appeal.

CHARLES LANE As SILVER man

With the death of Charles Lane
passes one Of the most picturesque
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-metallic
Cow ention the Nevada Delegation
were about broke. They were
discussing the financial situation
at hotel sitting around a table.
Lane overheard and as he passed
he carelessly tossed big, fat
pocket book over into the group
and remarked:
Help yourselves, gentlen," and
walked on.
The writer undid the strap of the
wallet and it was filed with $1,000
green-backs. Each man took
what he wanted and in about ten
minutes Lane showed up pnffinp
long cigar.
All hands thanked him and each
man proceeded to tell how much
he had borrowed. Lane waved
them aside with:
"Oh. don't bother about details.
| am willing to loan you all the
money you need. but I'm blamed
il. | can keep b ooks for you"
About six months later the
writer met Lane and asked if he
had got all his money back he
loaned the Nevada delegation in
st. Louis.
Every cent"
How do you know this?"
Il knew how much there was in
the pocket book when | threw it
on the table. Later | counted what
was left, then ] knew that / had
loaned the Nevada Deli CATION
$500.
And it all came back?"
Every dollar. These fellows
were Nevadans weren't they?-

RAILROAD OFFICIALS VISIT ELKO

Il
welcome the Oregon Short Line
officials. Attorney Henderson
acted as master Of ceremonies.
After a brief welcoming speech he
called upon Superintendent Manson
to tell the people the object Of the
visiting officials.
Mr.. Manson responded to the
call and stated that the officials
we're here for the purpose of
meeting the citizens of Elko and
talk over railroad conditions h ere.
He invited those present to state
their grievances if they had any
and promised that all complaints
would receive consideration and if
possible the causes would be re-
moved. He stated that the off Gals
we're closing a six weeks tour and
we're we'll pleased with the
receptions they had met with.
Nowhere had they been greeted
more cordially than here.
Hon. George Russell, Sr., was
then called on. He accepted Mr..
MANSIONS invitation to state griev-
ances and spoke of the unsightly
water tank in the middle of one of
the main streets and the inc OF.
vience caused by the failure of the
Overland Limited trains to stop
here. He also mentioned the
change that had take place in the
last few years in the treatment of
the people by the railroad COM
pany. The bitterness toward the
company had passed away and a
"etter feeling now existed on the
part IF the people Tits condition
was brought about by the company
giving the people better service
and more liberal treatment. He
also intimated that the advent of
the Western Pacific rad been a
large factor in working the
change.
Mr.. Manson relied to Mr..
Russell's complaints and promised
to take them up with the company.
The following we're then called
on and made brief talks: L. L..
Bradley, Attorney Levers. j. c..
Doughty. MIR. Reeves. Senator
Hunter. j. A. Mcbride. d. S.
Spencer. Judge Perky. Percy
Hazelton and Messrs. Priest,
Plaistead and McNitt, officials of
the company.
Mr. Doughty in his talk spoke
of the failure Of No. 8 to stop
here for the late mail and the
inconvience it caused to the public.
This matter the officials promised
to consider.
Mr.. Garcia suggested to one of
the officials that there ought to be
lights at the passenger depot at
night. The suggestion was dis
cussd and Mr.. Rowland promised
that the end of the present fiscal
year June 30th a system would be
put in that would turn on electric
lights along the track in town
when a train entered the block and
turn off when it left the block.
This will be big improvement
over present conditions.
After the speeches cigars and
other refreshments were in order.
After these had been sampled
and slowed away thoss present
retired and the officials boarded
their train and pulled out for the
next stop at Ely
Although the best of feeling pre-
vailed and nothing was said to
ruffle the temper of any one it
seemed to the writer that but
little was accomplished by the
meeting.
That the attitude of the railroad
company has changed toward Ne
vads and it's people in the last
three years Is plainly evident to
every one.
The cause Of this change is
largely due to the coming of the
Western Pacific and the radical
change in the policy of the rail.

ABOUT OUR
SUNDAY SCHOOL QUESTIONS

We call the attention of our read
ers to the Suggestive Questions on
the Sunday School Lesson" in this
issue. They only need to be read to
be appreciated, and If read carefully,
comparing the questions with the
Scripture upon which they are based,
they will not fail to impress the
reader with their great significance.
These questions are inspiring SER
mons, addresses, and newspaper ar
tcles in hundreds of towns; they are
stimulus and help to thousands of
Bible Glass Teachers and students.
The man on the street reads and dis
cusses them with his chum; they are
read in the homes of the people and
afford interesting subjects for profit
able discussion. Almost any one ques-
tion will suggest as much thought to
the average reader, as would take a
newspaper column to express, and
the thought will be his own.
The questions are not dry tones,
they are fresh, interesting, and sug-
gestive, and one can learn from them,
by way of suggestion, more than by
reading an entire magazine devoted
to the philosophy of everyday life.
These questions cover the all-round
needs Of human nature. while they
are a wonderful help in calculating,
and enforcing the Bible lesson upon
which they are based.
Don't fail to read them from now
on. and be ready to start in the easy
Bible contest which is to commence
in few weeks, and thus you may
hope to win one of the beautiful
gold medals.

Joke on Policeman.

A Dublin eccentric a short time ago
entered a purveyor's shop end bought
ham. Having paid for his purchase.
he requested that it should be hung
outside the shop door, saying that he
would call back for 1t. The customer
then paced up and down outside the
shop till policeman came In sight,
and just as the man in blue caught his
eye he grabbed the ham and bolted.
The constable, however, soon collared
the thief. as he thought, and hauled
him back to the shop. Having ex-
planned the nature Of the alleged crime
to the shop assistant. he asked the lat.
ter to charge the offender. But" said
the assistant, as he realized the Joke.
Its his own ham! He was quite at
liberty to take it in any circumstances
he chose"
