many languages. 1t became SO popu-

were willing to claim its authorship,
and they have done so in spite of me.
Forty-eight years ago, unused the
writer, that was before you knew
Whitman, was il not?'
No; l knew Whitman for 80 years
before his death. In every way he
was the biggest man l ever knew or
ever expect to know He was unlike
any one else in the world, in NE
breadth of his humanity and in the
democratic character of his intellect.
He was a brother of all men, freely
possessing the equality of them all,
yet he lowered above them as the sun
outshines the stars. He had a tre-
mendous mind. / used TO bask in his
presence as in the sunlight
And do you think he was asked,
that Whitman touched a great con-
seriousness of life, lying little be-
yond the rest of us, yet awaiting the
approach of us ALP
"'You might put it that way was
the reply. And you might call it the
cosmic consciousness, only it is some
thing that just comes, and not thing
to be commanded. ! am very sure
It has, nothing to do with the human
will.
at must not be imagined from this
that burroughs is a mystic. He is as
natural and clear as running water
and so definite as to be literal in
terms. He is so big that he can see
things as they are and can make
others share the clarity OF his vision.
His personality is as vivid and alert
as his speech and writings are lucid
and vibrant.
when asked what he would do in
California, he said that he would re-
wise a work he has just finished on
the Hawaiian islands from notes that
he made about two years ago.

to and L only work at what I want
to- he declared. 4 like descriptive
writing, but l take my time about it.

big pictures always stay with me.

veloped at any time.

Roosevelt and did not write of the

MlNDEN BEATS
GARDNERVlELE

Last Sunday baseball game
was played on the Minden diamond
between the Gardnerville and
Carson Valley teams which was
won by the latter ba a score OF II
to 10. In the early part of the
game Gardnervill made a string of
runs offiof Gafney,who occupied the
pitchers box for Minden. When
things looked as blue as a July
sky, Gafney retired behind the bat
and "Libbie" a Siwash took charge
of the sphere and the way he
famed the Gardnervillians ex
ceeded the speed law. To make
things interesting Minden began
swiping the ball on the nose and
from a score of / to 10 against
them run it up to the point afore-
said stated. "Libbie" gained fame
when least expected and was tho
hero of the game.

ASKS FOR A
REHEARlNG

State Bank Examiner Eugene
Howell, feeling that all OF the points
at issue in the bank receivership cas-
es have not been given due consider
alton by the Supfeme Court before
the recent decision will, through the
Attorney-General, petition for re-
hearing of the cases in the near fu
ture. In discussing the matter to-
day with representative of the Tri-
bue, Mr.. Howell said:
I'VE have fifteen days in which to
the matter will be attended to well
within that time. The decision of the
Supreme Court is to the effect that
final decision on the case had been
made when the District Court de
clared the banks insolvent and APP
pointed receiver.
"We take the stand that this does
no constitute final judgment, sim
ply that court ruling has been made
D9 ali liiiCllOl COull, WHlNl Sdll piO-
perly be set aside by the Supreme
Court. In substantiation OF this we
point to the fact that the receiver is
now in possession, drawing prince
ly salary, and provision is made for
the payment of his attorney. Final
accounting has not been made, and
for that reason we dispute the asser-
ton that Section 79 OF the new state
law is invalid because of prior final
court action.
Under the law neither myself nor
my deputy will receive one cent from
the funds of the bank, the state pay
ing our salaries. The same applies
to the attorney in the case, as this
work will be cared for by the Attor-
ney-General OF the state. During the
last two years not one nickel has
been turned over to the depositors,
the extra expense of the receivership
taking up the returns. Under the new
law 100 cents on the dollar could be
applied for the benefit OF depositors.'

Nugent made the attack upon De-
dray and was the aggressor in the
tight. Dedray drew his revolver and
shot three times, killing Nugent in
stantly and wounding Mrs. Nugent
in the leg.
A crowd OF several thousand peo-
pie gathered at the scene OF the mur-
der but no attempt was made TO mo-
lest the officers when Dedray was ar
rested about ten minutes later. He
offered no resistance to the officers
and remarked that he had shot to
protect himself from the attack OF
Augent. who was jealous OF Dedray's
attentions to his wife, from whom he
