DEPUTY SHERIFF SLAIN
BY FELLOW OFFICER
Clay Flanni(an. u Calls rarisA XII.
ed BY Deputy Akin. Of Marsh
al, Texas.

Clay Flanagan, deputy sher.
III of this parish, was shot and
instantly killed yesterday after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Walter
Akin of Marshall, Harrison coun-
ty, Texas in difficulty which
arose at Swanson's Landing
where the two were endeavOr-
ing TO arrest virlatOrs of the
game law.
Game Warden Wasson, of this
parish, had nis hand shot off by
Akin while he was trying to pre-
vent the tragedy.
The affair occurred eighteen
miles above Mooringsport and
about half a mile across the
Texas line.
The three officers were work
ing in conjunction in an effort to
apprehend the seiners and viO-
laters of the game laws and
therefore travelled together alter
natively across the Texas and
the Louisiana line SO that an Off
Ger Of each state would be pres
ent in event viOlators were found
They seemed to be the best of
friends and everything progress
sed smoothly until a dispute
arose between Flanagan and
Akin.
1t is stated that Flanagan was
discharging his revolver as they
moved down the lake in row
boat and Akin protested against
his doing SO.
This is said to have led to
words which became harsher as
the two neared the shore.
Game Warden WATSON was
standing on the shore as the skin
was in shallow water, waiting
for the other two to get out and
come ashore.
Flanagan, it is said, held 4
revolver, cooked, in his hand
and was abusing Deputy Akin.
Game Warden WATSON walked
out in the shallow water to pre-
vent the trouble.
He placed his hand on Flanni-
gan's chest in an endeavor to
quiet him, his palm resting di-
rectly over the officers heart.
While he stood thus Akin is
said to have fired and the bullet
penetrated Wasson's hand and
struck Flanagan squarely in the
heart killing him instantly.
Details of the affair were slow
reaching the city inasmuch as
the affair occurred just over the
Texas line.
Akin went on into Marsall, the
county seat, where he surren
dered and WATSON was brought
to the city last night and sent to
the North Louisiana Sanitarium.
His hand was amputated at
the wrist. Shreveport Times

Taken from Marshall Messen-
ger account:
There have been quite num-
Der OF violations of the fish and
game law along Caddo lake, both
on the Texas side and the Louis
ana side, and quite number of
arrests have been made. 1t
seems that a fisherman named
Oliver Woodeli, who has a camp
on the Texas side in Harrison
county, was wanted on the Louis
lana side for violating the fish and
game law, and Clay Flanagan, dep
uty sheriff, and G. M. WATSON,
game warden from MoOringsport
on the Louisiana side, came over
to make the arrest They were
met on the Texas side by Walter
Aiken, deputy sheriff Of Harri-
son county, and his brother Hays

lake and arrested Woodell, who
agreed to accompany the officers
back to Louisiana to stand trial

Some Ideas on Enforcing New Law

With the passing OF the first OF
June the new law regulating the
weights and measures OF commodities
or articles OF merchandise has gone
into effect The enforcement OF tins

the Agricultural Experiment. Station OF
the University of Nevada. and the de-
tails will be looked after by professor
s. {. Dnsmorc, who has been III
charge of the food and drug inspec-
ton, and who will be assitcd by NJ
B. Kennedy and Silas T.. Ross.
In speaking OF the enforcement OF
the law yesterday. Professor Dins-
morse stated that the matter would
be done in gradual manner so as TO
not work hardship on the various
state merchants.
The merchants have been advised
as to the intent OF the law" said MIR.
Dinsomrc. and from the advices re-
ceivcd we have been given to under
stand that the dealers will work III
harmony with us in order to secure
the desired results.
"a number of inquiries have been
received asking about the regulation
of scales used in stores. The com
mission will not advocate the use OF
any particular brand OF scale The
only thing that will be demanded Is
that the scales are adjusted correctly
so that the purchaser will be pro-
tectcd. The different scales will be
examined and il certain ones ore
found TO register false weight the
merchant will be given an opportunity
TO adjust the device, and If It cannot

The local railroad has been employ
ing double headers to haul the tim
Der to the Comstock that is beng

The time was when this section ol
Nevada furnished all the timber for
the old Comstock. Forests were de
stroyed that the mines might have
the support of timber. The bowels
of old Mt Davidson are filed with
thousands of acres Of forests that
went underground. SsYeral million
aires were made from denuding the
forests, and the timber that was bur
led, for the most part rotted in the
ground. 1t is true that vast fortunes
were taken from the Slopes that the
timbers supported and when they
were left the forests decayed below
the surface of Mother Earth.
The big wood drives that used to
go down Carson River will never be
known again. The timber is not in
the mountains to supply the call.

plishcd.
In a recent conversation with
manufacturers of Salt Lake was in
formed that the proper cognizance
had been taken of the new law. One
of the party, candy manufactures,
stated that he would place his wares
on the Nevada market in packages
labeled as to the weight OF the con
tents as soon as the necessary ar
rangements could be made.
Another gentleman, representing
a bottle factory, stated that a num-
ber of business men of this safe had
already ordered bottles of the half
pint, pint and quart size to conform
with the requirements of the meas
ures section OF the law. These orders
were mostly from persons identified
with the liquor business.

Professor Dinsmorc has taken ful
charge of the work, but in his visit
over the state he will also perform
the duties that rested with him in tn
enforcement OF the pure food an
drug regulations. When his assist
ants are not in the field they will b

Nevada institutions and enterprises

for bright and honest help and that
success was surely ahead for the
young people. In concluding he said
that it was difficult to give advice to
the young ladies, but that he believed
the highest aim OF young women
should be to make good wives for
good men, and that it was within
their power III great degree to
mould the life acts OF the men, and
he also told the girls that there was
a great deal in knowing how to prop
erly handle the men.
The Governor made very neat
and convincing talk and it imprcsse'
all within the Auditorium. The en-
tire evening proved one OF worth
