MISSING SHERIFF BUTLER Isl
INDICTED BY GRAND JURY
Three Counts For Embezzlement Of County and
State Funds and Sheriff's Fees Are Brought
Aeainstth Fugitive Official, and Warrants Issued

information regarding the conditions
In the various offices. This has
resulted in finding of the indictments
against the sheriff and has shown
there is considerable doubt in the
minds of some officials of the county
as to the proper handling of public
funds.
1t has also resulted. pursuant to a
resolution passed by the grand jury
copy of which is attached hereto,
in the employment by the board of
county commissioners, of public ac-
! countants to audit the books and
accounts of the sheriff's Office for the
last two and one-half years, and the
books and accounts of all other coun-
ty Offices as we'll, for the purpose of
determining. beyond a doubt. the
actual shortage of the sheriff and
the condition in other county Offices.
After completing the audit
of all the county Offices the
accountants are TO recommend
and install some system of keeping
all county accounts in a business like
manner, that will not conflict with
the laws of the state, and which
meets with the approval of the coun-
ty commissioners and their advisers.
In having this done, the grand
jury and county commissioners have
the support of State License and
Bullion Tax Agent Adamson who will
cooperate with the county officials to
perfect the system and demonstrate
ii successfully before the next meet
ing of the Legislature In the year
and half that will intervene before
the regular session of the states law
making body. any defects that may
exist in the system as originally in
troduced can be ascertained and
remedied. A bill can. then be prepar-
ed for submission to the legislature
which, when enacted into law, will
provide for the installation of the
perfected system in all the counties
of the state. to the end that a uni
form system of accounting will pre-
vail
Such a system will prevent such
unfortunate occurrences as has been
engaging the attention of this grand
jury for some days, as it will do away
entirely with the lax methods that
have obtained in the sheriff's Office
in this county and, probably. in other
counties of the state
Complaint was made to members
of the grand jury regarding the grow
ing frequency with which the moral
depravity of men and women of the
redlight district is Haunted in the
faces of respectable citizens OF the
community. 1t is the sense of this
grand jury that such practice must
cease, and at once. This jury be-
lieyes 1t to be the duty of the officers
of the City of Ely to impress on the
minds of the men and women refer
red to that they will not be permitted
to give offense to respectable citizens

The grand jury completed its
work on Tuesday by bringing in
three indictments against the miss
ing sheriff, AL Butler, along the lines
as outlined in last Sundays News,
in accordance with the suggestions of
State License and Bullion Tax Col
lector Adamson and Captain of State
Police J. p. Donnelly. Both the lat
ter gentlemen have returned to Car
son and Accountant Secor has put
two men at work on the books of the
county to audit them for the past
two years and a half.
The fugitive sheriff is charged
with three distinct counts of en-
bezzling; one of county funds,
another of state funds and third
of sheriff's fees. A warrant has been
issued for the arrest of the sheriff
and the state police have taken the
initiative in his pursuit OF Buffers
whereabouts nothing further Is
known beyond the fact that he was
last seen in San Diego, headed for
the Mexican border
The findings and recommendations
of the inqisitorial body contain
much of interest to the citizens OF
the county and their report to Judge
Coleman is herewith published in
full:
Report of the Grand Jury.
Ely. Nevada, May 90. 1911.
Hon. B. w. Coleman,
Judge of the Ninth Judicial District,
In and for White Pine County,
Nevada:
Your grand jury begs to report 1t
has held frequent sessions COM
mencing May 1st, and at those ses-
sions has given careful consideration
to all matters that have been brought
before IL by the district attorney and
other persons.
One indictment was found against
J. II. McMurray for embezzlement,
return of which was made in open
court May 9.
With this report We submit three
indictments against A. J. Butler,
sheriff of White Pine county, one
charging embezzlement of state
funds, one charging embezzlement
of county license funds. and one
charging embezzlement of sheriff's
fees.
We dismissed one case. that
against John Oklobga. charged with
assault with intent to kill. on ac-
count of all the witnesses in the
case having left the state.
One other case. that had not been
heard at a preliminary hearing in the
justice court when this jury was
called has been passed for the reason
that the defendant has, since that
date. appeared in the justice court
and given a peace bond in the sum of
$4,000. The jury believes the ends
of law and justice will be best served
by passing the case for the present.
Your grand Jury appointed a COM
mittee to visit the offices of all the
county officials and obtain from them

GALLAUDET BOYS
HAVE KICK COMING
Reserves Disguised at Can
collation. of Games.

The basketball game scheduled for this
afternoon between the Catholic Univer-
sity freshmen and the Gallaudet Re-
serves. at the Kendall Green gymnasium,
was cancelled by the Brooklanders, much
to the disappointment Of the Eastside
college adherents.
The Gallaudet Reserves have been
handed a raw deal by the high school and
other quintets which accepted games
only to cancel them at the last moment.
The excuses given for the cancellations
were mostly f1imsy. and as result there
are unusually emphatic opinions ex-
pressed by the Kendall Green supporters
at these apparent cases of "cold feet,
not to mention the surprising lack of the
athletic sense of honor on the part OF
the managementS of the teams which
make. or pretend to make. the sporting
public believe they are organized teams.
1t is a matter of singular coincidence
that not long ago the Georgetown Pre-
paratory School complained of the very
same treatment now accorded the Ken
dali Green youngsters, and 1t looks as il
there is certainly something wrong or
lacking in the management Of certain
quintS in this District.
The Georgetown freshmen and the
Georgetown Independent quints are the
only ones which played with the Gallau-
det Reserves, and 1t is hoped that there
will be no further change in the Reserves
remaining schedule.

EASTERN LEAGUERS CONVENE
Post. Season Series, Decided Innova'
ton, Planned.

Baltimore. Feb. THE Eastern League
meeting adjourned this afternoon after a
session that was tame compared with the
one of yesterday. The most interesting
feature was the adoption of a post-season
series between the winners of the PEN
nant and a picked team. 1t was. at the
suggestion of President Barrow that this
new feature was taken up. and all the
club representatives were in favor of
the movement.
According to the plan decided upon, two
of the best players on each of the seven
other clubs in he circuit will be Sc
lected to meet the champions. the men
to be named by President Barrow and
an associate. The manager of the club
that finishes second in the league race
Will be in charge of the all-star aggrega-
ton. and all games will be played on the
grounds of the team finishing first in the
race. Five games will be played.
The proposed higher classification was
thrashed out. but no official announce
ment was made. and it is not probable
that any official action WILL taken until
near the close of the coming seasons
race. Us the agreement with the national
commission does not expire until next
fall.
Within half hour after the magnates
had adjourned President Barrow was on
his way to New York, where he has
made his headquarters.
Before the meeting was called to order
President Barrow received notification of
the sale of the Jersey City club to James
J. Lillis. Jersey City lawyer, from the
estate of Robert Davis. No action was
taken, but Barrow said that sale would
be approved by the league at its next
meeting.

BASKETBALL

The Gallaudet basketball team has
offered the Catholic University team
another date to decide which is the
rightful owner Of second place. 1t is
doubtful if the Brookland boys will
accept the date.
Georgetown will meet their old RI
walls of the gridiron on the basket ball
court February IS. The Virginia quint
will give the Hilltoppers one of the
hardest games they have scheduled on
their home floor.
The ST. Johns five are sure Of vic
tory over the Catholic University five
when they play them on their home
floor. The Erookland boys won the
game in their home gymnasium by only
a small margin.
match for the fast team from the
West Branch Y. NJ c. A. of Baltimore
last Saturday, night. The Baltimore
boys took matters into their own
hands from the outset and were never
in danger.
The Washington and Lee University
quint recently defeated the Frederick
tMd) Y. NJ. c. A. on the latter's home
floor by the score of 81 to "a. The
game was one Of the fastest that has
been witnessed in the Y. NJ. c. AS
home gymnasium.
The Yankees. of the boys depart
ment of the Y. NJ. c. A, are playing
one of the fastest games seen around
the District this season. In their
game against the Baltimore team they
outclaSsed them in all departments.
Steed and Rutherford have great eyes
for the basket.
The Georgetown University basket
ball aggregation has put both Catholic
University and Gallaudet teams on the
shelf and is waiting for the City
League to finish. They will either
meet the Y. NJ c. A. Regulars or the
Carroll Institute team. 1t is doubtful
whether the Carroll Institute can over
come the lead that the y. NJ. c. A.
boys have on them, but the way that
they are playing in the last few games
they will make the association boys
fight for the honorS.
