IMPORTANT DECISION

The Supreme Court yesterday,
in an opion written by Judge
Sweeney and concurred in by
Justices Norcross and Talbot.
reversed the judgment of the
District Court of Esmeralda
County. wherein the defendant
Grimmett was convicted Of killing
one Edward Baker at Nina. Nevada.
The opinion is extremely in
portant to the legal profession in
that Judge Sweeney defines under
what circumstances a person can
without humiliation to himself on
the necessity of flight. stand hi,
ground and Stay his adversary and
will be proudly looked to in the
future as the leading casc in all
murder wherein the plea Of
self defense is interposed.
Among other rules which
District Judges are instructed to
give to juries in murder cases
Judge Sweeney in reversing the
lower court said: THE law is well
established that where a person
without voluntrily seeking provok-
ing inviting or willingly engaging
in difficulty of his own free will is
attacked by an assailant and IL is
necessary for him to take the life
of his assailant TO protect his own
then he need not flee for safety,
but has the right to stand his
ground and STAY his adersary."-

BEEFSTEAK At S48 A POUND

Probably the highest price ever
paid for a beefsteak was that
charged at Circle City, Alaska.
The first steak that ever reached
that town is said to have sold for
something like $48 a pound.
There were ten pounds of this
steak, which was shipped $50 mile,
to Circle City. When the owner
OF the precious bit of meat reached
the camp the miners turned out in
a body to set it. 1t was placed on
exhibition, and attracted as much
attention as if it uere the rarest
of gems. Every body wanted "a
piece of it, and the prices offered
were such as would have resulted
in a mining camp quarrc if il had
not been decided to rattle the steak
off for the benefit Of q hospital
that Bishop Rowe v as tying to
establish for the miners at Circle
City.
Bids were started at SIS a pound
and rose briskly to $35. Finally.
in order to avoid complications, it
was decided to sell tickets at prices
from so cents to $3.50 for the
privilege of drawing for a slice.
$3.50 worth of tickets had
been sold the drawing began and
to the relief of those in charge of
the sale no trouble resulted.

THE S. P. HOLD Up

About 7 o'clock tuesday night
the following account of Monday
nights hold up of Mol. was re-
ceived from Odgen. AS it is the
latest authe ntic report Of the
robbery to reach us. we give it
space today:
Ogden, Utah, Jan. 3, 1911
Tn: Independent, Elko:
Last might at 1875 the Over
land limited No l. going west was
held up by highwaymen, nine miles
from this city at what is known as
Reese Station and most of the
passengers were robbed of their
money and valuables.
The bandits stopped the train at
the siding by means of the block
signals and but few of the pas
sengers knew the train was being
looted until the desperrdoes came
through the cars with drawn guns.
Two negro porters, William Davis
and A. w. Williams, VII were
reluctant to give up the fight were
shot, the former being instantly
killed, the latter now lying in the
Dee Hospital of this city shot
throufih the arm.
IT is estimated that the bandits
secured from $1,000 Ito $1,000
worth Of money and valuables. AS
soon as they had ransacked the
train the bandits made their way
on foot northward stopping at
Warren, two miles away to hold
up a crowd of young people coming
from a dance. The robbers took
what spare change the boys had
but refused to take the ladies
watches.
The young people state that the
men were heavily armed with
rifles and automatic reviewers.
They were well dressed and wore
high topped leather shoes. No
trace Of the men have been found
since they left Warren at | o'clock
this morning. Notwithstanding the
fast that a number Of posses of
special officers OF the railway
company, the police force of the
city and the sherif's office have
been touring the country since the
robbery was reported. II is
thought that the bandits have
succeeded in getting into the city
and r being shielded by con
fedrates. A numbcrof arrests have
been made during the day but the
officers do not think they have
captured the right men. The rail-
road Co has offered a reward Of
$500 for the apprehension Of the
robbers and it is more than likely
that the governor of the state will
offer a reward on the morrow.
