NYE CO. POINTS TO
HERsELF WITH PRIDE

In recent issue o the Goldfield
Tribune Sheriff Malley Of Nye coun
ty was euiogized rs an officer. as
all officers deserve to be when they
do their duty and the Tribune points
with pride to the only county In Ne
vada that has succeeded In sup
pressing gambling and says.
"The first and only conviction for
gambling was secured In Nye county:
and Nye county stands pre-eminent
as the one county Of Nevada where
the gamblers are afraid to operate.
1T is unfortunate for the state
that other counties have not the
same timber In the shrievalty, Tor
then the law would be enforced to
the letter. and gamblers would not
have the temerity to do as they
did in Elko county. boldly invite a
dozen motoring tourists to lose
their money at a game Of chance.
White Pine county would not have
the stigma of the state police as
suming the duties of county sheriff
by raiding q game run without any
curtains or partition to shield 1t from
public gaze.
1T is pleasure to refer to the
impeccable record Of kych an officer
as Ed Mailey, and the Tribune takes
off Its hat to him with the wish
that his shadow will never grow
ess or his name suffer the shame
OF less worthy act. He meat
what he said when he declared that
so far as Nye county was concerned
tho law meant what it said. He found
way, and In doing 30 has pointed

property Wingfield bought from the
