DEATH OF Miner
Who TESTED THE
EIGHT HOUR LAW

ESTABLISHED THE CASE IN

II is of interest to recall that viii
liam Billy" Boyce of Silver City,
who died at Los Angeles on Tuesday,
figured in the test case made several
years ago over the constitutionality
of the Nevada eight-hour law. Ii
will be remembered that soon after
the law went into effect, arrests were
made at Silver City. and an appeal
made to Judge Murphy's court, who
declared the law unconstitutional.
This was followed soon after by a
friendly suit in which Mr.. Boyce was
the leading figure. He owned claims
at Silver City. and to test the law.
worked his men longer than the time
prescribed He was promptly arrest
ed and found guilty before the JUS
tice of the peace at Silver City, and
fine imposed Judge f. p Langan,
Justice Sweeney and a lawyer repre-
senting the Western Federation of
4 Miners represented the unions and
prosecution, and Major Huffaker de-
Tended Mr. Boyce. The latter refus-
ed to pay his fine and was remanded
to the Dayton jail. He remained
there only few hours, however, for
write of habeas corpus was taken
out direct to the supreme court,
where the matter was finally argued
and threshed out AS is well known
history, the supreme court held the
law to be constitutional. There was
never a more ardent union man than
Billy" Boyce and no one rejoiced
more than he upon receiving the de
cision of the supreme court. He
promptly paid his fine, and thus es
tablished for all time the effective
ness of the eight.hour law.-Virginis

him that it was wounded and could
not fly. The senator offered tc

the bird could outrun the congress

speed ability of the bird, got out o
the stage and took after it,

. 81 AN OLD
BLACK HEN

The Hon. John Lawton wanted q
country place to which he might retire
and raise sunflowers. His daughter
Peggy wanted him to buy such place
that she might raise chickens. Be-
tween the two OF them they prevailed
on Mrs. Lawton, who had an idea that
she would like to raise string-beans.
but wasn't sure, to consent to the
change.
In due time the Hon. John had the
proud satisfaction of growing thirteen
big sunfiowers along the fence, and
Peggy's enthusiasm was delight to
see as she discovered that her fifteen
white Leghorn hens had laid an egg
among them. She couldn't pick out
the hen that did 1t, and so in gratitude
she rendered the whole humber such a
banquet that the flock was dopy for
three days.
Not another egg was produced, but
as winter came on Peggy was living in
hopes, and not a bit discouraged. She
was one who believed in giving the
hen a chance. 1t made her nervous
to be hurried, and the hens might
have the same feeling. A shortage OF
eggs in the fall might mean bushels
Of them In the spring. Those fifteen
hens and q rooster had all received
names, and were. daily called by them,
and the poultry business was becom'
ing a Joy forever when human nature
and hen nature received jolt.
During the night it showed softly
and quietly without fuss. When Miss
Peggy arose in the morning and made
a dash for the poultry house, as was
her morning custom, she found tracks
in the snow. around the door-many
tracks. There were cat tracks and
man tracks. The cat tracks were soft
and gentle, but the man tracks were
deep and savage. 1t was. as II the
man who made them was mad about
something. For a minute or so the
tracks meant nothing to the girl. Their
she opened the door and found four Of
her white Leghorns missing. The
tracks meant chicken thief. Yes

NAME DEPOSITORY.
School districts Now Able to Designate
Banks for Their Funds.

The school directors at the annual
school meeting to be held Monday July
8, in the various districts of the state,
under a new law passed at the most
recent regular session of the legislature,
may designate depository for the
funds of the district. When the bank
designated files bond with the district
to cover loss in case of bank failure,
the treasurer of the district must de-
post the district funds in the bank
under the direction Of the school board
and the account is open to public in
spection at all times. In case the bank
fails, the treasurer and his personal
bondsmen are released from their liabil-
ity.
This law safeguards both the treas
urer and the district. In number of
recent bank failures, school treasurers
have been among the unfortunate de-
positors. They, and not the districts,
suffered the loss as they were held
personally responsible. The law also
protects the district as it insures safety
of the funds and also the payment of
interest to the general fund of the dis
trict. ANY treasurer who appropriates
the interest on district money for his
own use or loans it, lays himself liable
to criminal prosecution. District mon
ey must either be on hand in actual
cash at any time it is called for, or it
must be deposited in a bank in the
treasurer name as treasurer.
