NEvAOES DUTY

q. Yesterday Nevada did her duty
and without hesitation when judge
harrington ordered couple of
citizens extradited to Utah to
stand trial On an infamo S charge.
This is the first case brought up in
this court and the result was most
certainly satisfactory to the
citizens. The government had a
most plain case and there was no
hesitation on the judges part in
ordering the defendants to the
other state for trial. Under the
law he had to fix the bail, which
was done. 1t was case of unusual
interest from the fact that the
government is taking a hand in the
traffic of women for immoral
purposes from one state to the
other. With a precedent, as in
this case, there will be some lively
side stepping on the part Of the
dive keepers and dance hall men
to keep out of the clutches of the
government. State courts move
slow, too many loop holes have
been found, trials are indefinite
problems, but with the government
it is different.
1t ia hoped the good work per-
formed yesterday by Judge Far
rington will put the fear of law
so deep in the hearts of the Great
ures who follow this traffic that
they will move. bag and baggage
from this state.
The prostitute will ever be on
earth, but the man who acts as a
procurer, lives from the tainted
morey and walks among men, will
take notice. The word has gone
down the line that it is sure, and
greater care will be exercised and
it is hoped that men will abandon
the unlawful calling. The sentence
that Reeves receives will he worth
watching for when he hits the
Utah court. - Carson Appeal.

"Our apartment is about 60 feet

days that he enjoyed the unknown

antics. He would make a short
run of so feet or so and then stop
abruptly and looked worriedly at
