The relatives of Little Mag
lie" the squaw found dead in this
city Monday. are making a full
investigation as to the cause of
her death and are now of the
opinion that she came to her
untimely end 10y foul play says the
Carson News. Yesterday some
of the Indians called the attention
of the authorities to the fact that
close to the spot where the squaw
was found. they had found a blood
soaked rag and further that blood
spots were found upon the clothes
which were removed from the
body. Signs of a struggle we're
also found near the sand house of
the V. G. 7. and signs by the
or eek where some one had
evidently washed blood from their
hands or clothing. One of the
indians claim that the neck of the
deceased had been broken.

DOWN WITH THE GAME

One year last Fourth Of July
two big men. a black n and a
white one. met in a ring at Reno
for the purpoe Of demonstrating
which of them could with his
fists inhict the most punishment
upon the other, and which could
withstand the punishment the
Longest. incidentally the contest
was 20 decide which should re.
ccivc the larger share of a sum
Of money greater than the annual
salary Of the President of the
United States. The promoters of
his exhibition of brutality had
successfully worked the, press Of
the country for an amount of
advertising which, had il been paid
for at regular rates, would have
cost more than The entire bullion
output Of the state for II year. As
a result of this advertising men
came from ,hr other side Of the
world &c witness the fight. Hun
drcds Of thusands Of dollars were
spent for travelling expenses, and
millions wagCrcd on the result.
REM. the scene Of the di-graeeful
exhibition, was crowded to over.
flowing by the sporting element
from all oven the world. 1t took
more police officers to preserve
order in this one town during the
weeks preceding and on the day Of
the fight than il ordinarily requires
to police the entire state. and i'm
spite Of the extra police there
were more pockets picked than all
such crimes put together in tho
history of Nevada. The criminal
clement from everywhere cOngre-
gated there. and reaped a harvest.
The fight turned out a pitiful
exhibition. The white mar had
been rendered physically unfit by
20 mucn high living upon the
proceeds Of similar exhibitions,
and the negro experienced little
difficulty in beating him down.
This gave the mar Of color the
title Of champion bruiser Of the
world, and a sum Of money equal
Co. n kings ransom. He has been
busily engaged for a year and hal
in squandCring this fortune, and
now that his funds arc beginning
to run low he wants to repeat the
performance.
The State Of Nevada has suffered
in reputation by her tolerance Of
such exhibitions, and il Is time tc
stop. We have passed a law .
prevent gambling. the state has
been kept busy apologizinR because
outsiders come here to get
| divorces the wild caters have
given the state a bad name and we
have gone after them. We are
trying to clean house, and Tho
next spot to be eradicated shoult
be the prize ring. There IL
nothing in these fights for the
people. They are neither interest
ing, instructive nor profitable snt

squaw was a heavy drinker and it
is presumed that she was under

Suicide Among German Children.
Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there Is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, 1t has been said that
the majority Of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know II any Of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

$4,000 from land Sales.

Denver-It is claimed by the State
Highway Commission that exclusive
Of the appropriation to be asked Of
the Legislature to carry on its work
next year, there will be available in
the state treasury about 100000 for
work on roads throughout the state by
the first of the year.
OF this amount $1S.552.63 was
turned over by the land board on
leases and land sales for October. For
November, the receipts are expected
to reach $4,000, which will be added to
the general fund. ..-.
= The United States government has
turned over to the commission a check
for $15.355.24, representing five per
cent. of the total receipts from public
land sales during the year ending June
80, 1912. The commission is endeavor-
ing to secure part or all Of the $780,
900 capitol board fund, designated for
its use. An increase in the available
fund depends entirely upon the land
board, whose receipts from leases on
school lands go to the support Of the
highway commission.
