MANKIND is STILL MEDIEVAL
Woman Lawyer Says the Attitude To-

That legislation tending to make
marriage more difficult and divorce
easier would lessen some of the evils
of the social system was the opinion
put forward in talk on THE Law and
the Lady" by Miss Mary Wood. a law
yer. at the Woman's Forum.
Miss Wood began her paper with
history OF the attitude of the English
lawmakers toward woman, touching
on various statutes that now seem &C.
centric, such as the provision Of the
middle. ages, which limited the cost
OF the cloth in a woman's dress to
Twelve pence yard. .
And yet that was no more barbar-
ic." said Miss Wood, than the bill
OF the Massachusetts legislator, who
would have put ban on the skirts
that were less than six inches below
the knee. decollete gowns and fancy
clocks on stockings. The bill was
killed. I don't know what happened
to the man who fathered it."-New

Mrs. L. G. Clark received word
this morning of the death of Mr..
and Mrs. J. B. Hobson's baby at

is better known to Elko people as
Miss Matte McMullen.
The child was born in Elko,
September d, 1911. He had been
lying at the point of death for the
past two weeks, a victim of spinal
meningitis. The little fellow had
the best of medical aid and the
loving care Of his mother, through
his long illness. but these availed
nothing against the disease. - ..'
Mr.. and Mrs. Hobson have the
sincere sympathy Of large circle

them a beacon light to guide them
safely into the haven of eternal
rest.

DRUNKEN MANS CRIME

Sunday afternoon this city was
startled by a rumor that murder
and suicide had been committed by
a miner named Tom Hadlock.
Shortly after the noon meal at the
county hospital, Fl dlock who has
been on a protracted spree for
the past week, entered cabin in
the rear of the hospital. where
Minnie Stanley, partial paralletic
is confined, who was sitting in a
CHAIR. advancing toward the wo-
man, the crazed man said: "We
had better meet" drawing his
pistol at he same time and firing
two bullets into the woman, one
entering the cheek and the other
the breast. The woman fell to the
floor and the man, SUPP osing he
had killed her, then put the barrel
of the revolver into his mounth
and fired a bullet into his head.
The ball shattered the lower jaw
and passed around the back of
the skull. The force of the, shot
caused partial paralysis of his
body. He was taken to the Miners
hospital, where he now lies in a
precarious condition, and it is
thought that he cannot long
survive his rash act.
The woman shot formerly earned
her living as piano player in
different resorts in this city. but
has been a cripple for the past
three years and county charge.
Hadlock had been calling upon
the woman for the past two years
claiming to be an old-time friend
OF hers, and his rash act is mysti-
flying to her. The wounds of the
woman will not prove fatal, it is
thought. The bullet entered the
breast but did no touch any of the
vital organs.
Hadlock had been employed for
number of years in the various
mines of this camp and was always
looked upon as a peaceable man,
and his act of Sunday is thought
to have been lcaused by. excessive
drinking .-Tonopak. Bonanza.
