STRUCTION WORK

The Palisade correspondent of
the Eureka Sentinel has the fol-
lowing railroad news for the week
ending December 29th:
The construction work on the
railroad has now been moved up to
between the Raine and Ennor
ranches in Pine Valley, betwee n
eight and nine miles from Palisade,
and the principal work is being
done there. The steel gang is now
laying track in the canyon, and it
is expected to have the rails laid
to the j. Z. Raine raoch, nine
miles from Palisade, by the end of
next week. r.. ....'.
The grading gang located at
Black burn has about complet ed
its work between that pont and
Mineral Station, and is NOW work
ing north from Blackburn. -.
" Your correspondent d. was in
formed this week that it Expected
to operate construction trains as
far as Mineral Station about "a
miles from Palisade-by February
!, next: -.
The bridge gang is now at work
on the second bridge in Palisade
Canyon in the Ebert ranch field.
From Raines ranch the old road
bed is being abandoned, and the
new road skirts the foothills on
the east side iof the valley. This
change is being made to escape
the water channel that runs
through the valley. The ground
,throu gh this part of the valley is
frozen to a depth of 19 inches.
On acc9 hunt of the present adverse
weather conditions, the construc-
ton omRany is not now soliciting
for more laborers, but is hiring all
men applying for employment.
The force has been considerably
increased during the past few
days, about 100 men now being on
the pay roll.

SWALLOWS TOOTHPICx
AND NEARLY DIES

Shortly after she had finished a
delightful repast at the family
home in Spring valley, Miss Edith
Yeiland, daughter of John Yelland,
a pioneer rancher in the eastern
part of the county, swallowed a
wooden tonthpick last Sunday.
The small piece of wood lodged
crosswise in the girls throat, and
all attempts to dislodga it proved
futile. Inflammation set in few
days later and it was only with
greatest difficulty that the young
lady was enabled to breathe. :" -
When the members Of the family
realized that they were helpless to
render her assistance, medical aid
was summoned. In response to o
call Friday night over the tele-
phone line of the Nevada National
reserve, DR.. w. T. Gleason, in com.
pany with George letter las
chauffeur. left for the Yelland
ranch by auto. The latest reports
from Spring valley are that Miss
Yelland is much improved and that
serious consequences are not
feared. The gatherings in her
throat had broken and she was
afforded great relief. -.
Fr. Gleason and his companion
experienced untold hardships in
reaching their destination. Deep
snow was encountered in crossing
the Corners summit and the
mercury registered 20 degrees
below zero.-White Pine News. 20

OUR SUPREME COURT

As originally made up the
supreme court consisted of chief
justice and five associate justices.
In 1907 sixth associate was ad-
ded when new district had been
created to take in the new western
territory comprising the states of
Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky. In
1887 the eXpan sion of the nation
westward again called for an in
crease in the court, and two more
associate justices were added.
' In 1868 ninth associate justice
was needed. but five years later,
when approaching vacancies made
it likely that President Andrew
johnson might have the appoint
ment of the new members, con.
gress, then in open antagonism to
the chief executive, reduced the
number to seven, thus preventing
him from making an appointment.
This number two years later,
after the inauguration of Presi.
dent Grant was increased to eight
associate JUSTICES AMI a chief
justice, and as then constituted
the court has remained. The last
alteration. in the court was de-
clared at the time to be due to
political reasons as clearly as the
reduction in 1868, as the addition
of new member made it possible
for the court to reverse itself in
the legal tender decisions. - New

THE SPIRIT OF IT

VIM. D. Haywood was tried for
murder in Idaho. There was proof
enough offered to hand dozen
men. but unfortunately it was not
confirmed as it was delive led by
the real agent who perpetrated the
murder. But Mr.. Haywood de.
livered speech in Coopers Union.
New Fork, the other day. in which
he said:
My heart is with the Mcnamara
boys, so long as thew are working
in the interest of the working
class. !. don't think any socialist
can be law-abiding citizen"
The McNamaras confessed to
wholesale murder. All Mr.. Hey
wood did at Coopers Union was,
to confess that he approved of
murder in obedience to a code
which in effect. says: Working
men have a right to do what they
please regardless Of the law, and
if any one intereferes with their
program it is right to murder
him" &C., ....
1t would be very good thing if
the labor unions of this country on
the confession of the McNamaras
and the admissions of Mr.. Hey
wood, should determine to have a
little house cleaning of their own
and never more elect officers who
lave code which interferes with
the demands and the execution of
the righteous laws of the United
States. - Goodwin's Weekly. 81.

[YNcH|NG RECORD FOR 1871

The lyncbing record for 1911
shows distinct though slight
improvement over the records of
previous years. The lumber Of
persons lynched since Januray l.
sixty lis slightly less than that
of any recent years. All but two
Of the sixty persons lynched were
negroes. Of the fifty eight ne
groes. one was a woman. The
crimes charged against these
victims range all the way from
insult to criminal assault and
murder. Georgia leads with the
most lynchings -seventeen.
Lynchings occurred in thirteen
states. All Of these were southern
or border state excepting Pennsyl-
vania, which furnished the only
instance of the year where the
victim was burned at the stake.
Contrary to the record of pre-
viouS years the majority of the
victims were not accused of crimes
against women. The victims
accused of attacks on women
numbered eighteen, while thirty
one were accused Of murder. Two
negroes. were lynched for ins ult-
ing white women. four for
attempted murder one for threat
ening to murder, one for highway
robbery, one for persistent steal
ing. Two were charged with
plain assault and one was being held
in Jail as suspicious character.
In several instances race riots
were reported in which both
whites and blacks were killed.
These are not included in the
record of the years.
