NO DYNAMITE
HOUSE COLLAPSED

Last evening State Engineer
Kearney returned from Yerington.
where he had been sent by Acting
Governor Ross to Investigate the
alleged dynamiting of the Lyon
County court house. While the
engineer only put in a few hours
at the wrecked building he re-
turned to this city convinced that
there was no dynamite used in the
destruction of the building. He
is to make an official report TO the
governor and it is safe TO say that
this report will not be ~lattering
to the contractors.
1t developed by his investigation
that many faulty items of con-
structions ere discover ed. In
the first place it was found that
the second floor of the building
came down on Saturday night and
not with a rush and noise that was
credited IN the reports. The col
lapse was not reported until the
day following. The T beams
holding the upper floor were
%wrenched loose, but there was no
indication of an explosion. such as
shattered glass, blown out walls
and other idications that would
have followed the use of dynamite.
Everything now points to col
lapse Of the building with no one
to bleme aside from the con-
tractors who will have to rebuild
that section that has caved in.
The work of clearing away the
debris from the upper story is in
progress and will result in a safer
and better building at the expense
of tie contractors Carson

indictment was not served as the

indictments are the result Of an
Investigation instituted sometime
ago ty the grand jury, and evil
dence presumably gathered from
witnesses summoned to Rappear

meeting. There are nov cases of
alleged violation Of the anti-gamb-
ling law pending in nearly every
county of the state, showing that

EAST AND WEST

Discussing the trip Of the West
ren Governors and the subject of
what is east and what is west, the
New York World says:
THE Western Governors who
have set out TO evangelize the
cast do not quite agree as to its
boundaries. Governor Hawley of
Idaho thinks that the east ends at
Pittsburg and other opinions
variously assign Chicago, Kansas
City and Denver as its western
limit.
mo such doubt has ever existed
about the south, the location of
which was fixed by Mason and
DiXon's line, the Ohio river and
the Missouri compromise. Nor is
there any misunderstanding Of the
designation down east" AS
respects east and west, a constantly
shifting boundary lire has ncces.
sarily caused some confusion.
The cowboy of the story thought
he was about as far east as he
cared to go when he got to
Cheyenne, while on the other
hand, to some native born New
Workers, anything beyond North
river is out west.
Indiana, which contains the
center Of population, might lOgi-
cally advance the claim that il is
the border state between the
east and west, and its production
of poems. best Sellers" and
Broadway drama heightens the
analogy. But in western opinion
gcner ally the cast is where Wall
street and Fifth avenue are, and
such il is likely to remain. That

Saturday morning about seven
miles south of | us Vegas. The
Pullman porter suffered a broken
arm and several passengers were
more or less injured. The mail
and baggage car and engine were
badly smashed.
The cause of the wreck was the
eaking of the oil pipes of a
freight train ahead, causing train

track. The passenger engine, No.
8, cut loose and went to Bard
siding to secure help from the
freight engine standing there. but

back toward the stalled train, but
