ELK0'S BALLOTS
CAUSE TRO1DLE

In the Supreme court yesterday
afternoon in the natter of the con-
tested election case, there was
considerable of a ruciion. Att0r.
ney General Baker raised objection
to the further continuance Of the
count and submitted authDriti,s
bearing out his contention that the
court had no jurisdiction in the
matter and that there was an
insult cienty in the compliant or
petition filed by the REALTORS
Springmrycr and Lcgatc.
The court ruled in relation to
the matter that they would take
up the matter Of the evidence to
be given by County Clerk Weight
of Elko County, who was present
with the ballots If the county, and
after he had identified the ballots,
that the count would then rest
until the court would have time
to look into the n crits Of the
objection filed by the Attorney
General and would probably hear
argument on the matter later on.
County Clerk Fred G. Voight
was then put upon the stand to
identify the ballots Of Elho County
that were in his possession. The
matter of Identification was one
that brought forth u storm of
objections form Baker. 1t appcars
that the ballots were kent in
rather a slipshod manner in the
EIko Court house and that upon
their arrival in this city they had
been released by the Exc county
clerk at the Wells Fargo Office
some four hours before they were
delivered to the court room. Mr..
Weight WAS not an official of the
county al the time the ballots we're
received from the various election
boards and knew but little of their
condition. He answered every

Such places as Elko and Winnie

will ultimately supply that end of

such plans not OILY possible, but a
certainty.
1t must he rene nbereI that this
is a decision by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They are
suggesting to the railroads the
rates and reductions cited. Should
they IA il to obey the decision then
an order is issued. 1t is natural
to suppose that the roads will
comply with the decision as it is
unauestionably equitable and
reasonable to all parties. 1t will
probably raise 4 protest on the
part Of the California wholesalers

have insisted on the back haul to
help them in their special lines Of

NO MORE JUDGING
ON R. R TICKETS

Fudging on railroad tickets will
hereafter not be allowed. Tickets
which expire 90 certain day will
not be good after the strukc of
midday of that day, and passengers
riding ono minute after twelve
o'clock will he obliged to pungIc
up. This is according to ruling
on the question of the life Of a
railroad ticket by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Com
mission holds that tn, ticket is
limited to the date stamped
upon it.
On this coast it has been the
custom of passengers to delay
their excursion trips to the last
day allowed by their tickets.
They have been going upon the
assumption that if they started on
the return trip at any time prior
to the last hour of the last day,
the ticket was good for the ride
home 10 matter how long the ride
home, required. This is all
changed now. "Aftcr midnight"
rides must he paid for. If a
passenger is 80 miles from home
at midni Int, one minute after that
hour the conductor can collect

COMMISSIONER .BARTINE
Tells OF BENEFITS

Judge j3artine Chairman of the
a Railroad Commission was inter-
viewd by an Appeal man relative
to the de ision of the rate reduc-
tion on commodities. The Judge
made the following statement:
1.-THE first knowledge we had
of the order by the Interstate
'mmerca Commission was a tcle-
gram from Mr.. TburtelI. He
stated tfat the decision was
victory bat that the Commission
would give il to the press. The
dispatches give VI the first
knowledf e of the situation. We
have been expecting the deciBion
for some weeks. II will be several
days before we can receive the
entire d cision and @hus form a
more complete opinion of the
victory
Naturally the Nevada Com
missioners regard this as
splendid victory for the people.
Like 9th !rs we hope for more
sweeping reductions but rs Mr..
Lane states, the railroads have to
be cons dered as well as the
people. One thing is sure and
that is t,at the people have
benefited to very large extent
by the results Of the hearing and
the deci.ion of the Commission.
1t is x 'eat vi.tory for Nevada
and that means the consumers.
The original order or elias $
goods, which knocked out the back
haul fro n the Coast to Nevada
points is already in effect. This is
a large "aving to the merchants
who are hipping and many dollars
have al eaiy been saved the
people.
This new order takes in com.
modties, that means goods shipped
over the roads that take special
rates. Ty the order of the Com
mission the rate are reduced and
the bacl haul Is gone 1t will
TAKE some figuring when the
original decision comes to hand 10
deci1 n the exact amount of reduc-
ton but t appears from the dis
patch t. reach approximat ely
33 l-3 per cent. This is certainly
big gain.
The b,st way to look in this
matter il the future that it makes.
The CITY OF Reno, for instance
will berafit largely. There is no
reason n w why that city cannot
establish wholesale districts. They
b. can supply this Western section of
the State with all the commodity
goods that California merchants
have been selling the people. The
back ha Il being of Nevada has
the better Of the position and
even in far east shipments, where
the rates are not quite as favor
able. California carnot compete
with the home merchant once he
is establi she'd.
1t wat found on Interrogation
that rs per cent Of the freights
come from points cast that of
course Includes Chicago. While
shipments from Denver and ether
western points are landed to the
advantage of Nevada. 1t Is the
future that must be considere ed

Malpass Family Has Been Wiped Out Of Existence By
 Citizens.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 2S.-The funeral of Deputy Sheriff Bar ney Steil, who was shot and killed by the Malpass brothers, mulattoes, near Dumas Tues day, was held here today fore noon, the services being held by Rabbi Witt. The funeral was attended by large number of members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he was Past Worthy, the Spanish War Vet erana, of which he was local commander, and various other orders and fraternities of which he was a prominent member.
 The Malpass family was wiped out of existence by the enraged people of Desha coun- ty, in revenge for the murder of Sheriff Preston and Deputy Sheriff Steil. Two were killed Tuesday afterroo at the time the officers were slain.
 Tuesday night Robert Nal pass, aged 20 years, son of one of the men who was killed, was shot to death by posse of off, cers headed by Constable Jones of Little Rock, and early We'd nesday morning Charles Mall pass, the white father of the two negroes, although desper- ately wounded was taken from the officers by an orderly mob and hanged to the Iron Moun- tain water tank.
 His negro wife was not locat- ed, but 1t was mutually agreed that she would be spared even should she be apprehended. In the same wagon which brought the elder Malpass to Dumas a prisoner to meet his death, was the body of his grandson.

DOUBLE ASSESSMENT
 IN TEN YEARS
Tax Commission Deserves Credit For Getting Railroad Prop
 erty Increased. x

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 28.The Arkansas Tax Commission has completed the assessment of the railroad property of the state, and the result shows some decidedly interesting compari- sons. The railroads of the state are assessed at a total of S77,- 992,586 for 5,O23 miles, an av- craze of $15,525 per mile. The increase over the assessment of 1910 is over ten millions, the total for last year being S67,- 777,638.
 Ten years ago, in 1900, there was total of 3,O52 miles in the state, and the assessment wal $24, ,O51, ,139, an average of s ,-E 874 per mile. The increase in ten years has been nearly LOO per cent, or S7,751 per mile. This tremendous increase is due largely to the action of the Tax Commission.
 The Iron Mountain and it's branches are assessed this year at $32, 2,638, ,458, against total of .$28, ,27O,197 last year, and o1i~ ly $1O,287,315 ten years ago.

HyDRICk GETS
 ELEVEN YEARS
In Penitentiary Being Convicted Of Murder In Second
 Degree.

Murder in the second degree and eleven years in the peniten- tiary," was the verdict imposed by the jury in the Isom Hydrick case and returned to the court about 9:3O o'clock Thursday morning. The trial of the case had been concluded at a night session of court, when w. F. Smith of Walnut Ridge made the closingV argument for the state.
 Prosecuting Attorney Er- win made the opening address for the prosecution in careful and forceful review of the eyi- dence and c. l.. Grant and Judge M. M. Sfuckey made strong and eloquent appeals for the de- fendant during the afternoon session.
 The jury was divided when first entrusted with the case, some wishing to give defendant 5 years and others all the way up to<k. The verdict was evil dently compromise. Hy- drick's attorneys have not given up the fight and will ask the court for new trial.
 One of the grounds upon which a new trial will doubtless be asked is because the jury is alleged to have reached a com promise verdict by adding the number of years each juror would have given Hydrick and divided the same by twelve, the number of jurymen, which me- thod it is said the supreme court has prescribed against.
 Refuses Ruddell Bond.
 John Ruddell was brought in to court Thursday morning, his attorneys Jones & Campbell ask ing that bail be granted. The motion was refused however by the court and the trial has been set for Thursday, October 5. ! Carlos Pulliam On Trial.
 The case of the state versus Carlos Pulliam, a negro indicted for murder in the second de- gree in connection with the drowning of Chet Watson in April 1910 was next called and at 2 D. m. the jury returned a verdict of acquittal.
 Pulliam and Watson were fight ing on one of the Inman boats tied up at the Newport wharf, when both were thrown from the boat and the latter drowned. His body was recovered and it was found that one leg was bro ken in two places, the coroner having held an inquest.
