Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 17.-Clar- ence $. Darrow, the McNamara att torney and famed for his utterances in behalf of labor, walked out of the court room here today free man. A few minutes before the jury which tried him on the charge of brib'ng a juror in the McNamara case returned a verdict of mot guilty.'' Only one ballot was taken, each juor voting fer an acquittal.
 The verdict of the jury was q popular one, being applauded by tbe spectators in the court room. Dar- row thanked each one of the jurors, as they passed out, and shook their hand
 Judge Hutton in his charge elimi- mated the first count in the indict- ment-that Darow had bribed Charles N. Lockwood, regularly drawn juror in the trial of J. B. Mo- Namara. The evidence, the Court ruled, did not justify a verdict of guilty on the first count.
 Teh second count charged Darrow with attempting corruptly to in- fluence a man about to be drawn as a juror. The court also instructed that verdict of guilty could be found on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomblice.
 History of the Case.
 The indictment and trial of Clar- ence Darrow, the famous criminal lawyer on the charge of attemptins to bribe a juror, came as a startling sequence to the now famous McNa- mara dynamiting case.
 It was on December 1, 1912, th + John J. and James B. McNamara Headed guilty to the charge of mur del in connection with the dynamit- ing of the Les Angeles Times BuilI- irg, and were sentenced to 15 years ard life imprisonment respectively. The great trial had been under way only six weeks and the attorneys for beth sides were still wrangling oyes the selection of jury, when thr startling announcement was made that the prisoners would plead guilty to the charge.
 DarrOw, who had full charge of the defense of the prisoners, had carried on a magnificent fight during every step of the proceedings, but he be ean-c conyined that the evidence the prosecution had was overwhelming.
 Bribery rumors had been rife dui- ing the trial, but the sen sation cane a few days prior to the McNamara brothers plea of suilty, when Rsrs sSrarklin, a detective fot the defense, was piac6d under arrest on the charge of attsppsink to rlb1 pFSs

Greater
Humboldt


Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the U. s. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only 17S,ooo acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation of even part of that extra land
tor which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large, one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
tits expected that every person inter-
ested in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants a good investment,
will take stock in this company.

Chicago for two dollars worth of
dry goods. Ninety per cent Of the
cost of a job of printing is for
labor. Ninety per cen of the wages
paid the printer is spent in his home
town. Thus practically every cent
paid to local printers is distributed
right here at home. When a man
sends to Chicago for household goods
he robs the local merchant Of his
