WALKED OFF WITH EvIDEN cE
Counterfeiter Is Acquitted Although
Secret Service Had the Goods
on Him.

Several lawyers were discussing
the United States secret service the
other day in the marshal's office In
the federal building Much that they
said was directed at a quiet but cap
able deputy marshal, who took 1t In
silence until he got an opportunity to
counter. The most persist emit Of his
tormenters began to tell of a counter
feiting case when the severity of the
government put good fellow" In
jail We'll, 1t was different up In my
county" exclaimed the deputy mar
shall, breaking into the confab. I'VE
had the evidence. on the fellow all
right" he continued He had made
about a peck Of silver dollars. The
only difference between his product
and that of Uncle Sans was that the
counterfeiter put a. couple moro
grains of silver In his. He got away
with It for months, and when we be.
gan to collect evidence we had bags
full of the phony dollars. When the
man was placed on trial the learned
members of the bar were permitted
to satisfy their curiosity by handling
the counterfeitsl But the man was
acquitted" "Hcw was THAR" one OF
the lawyers wanted to know. You
see the lawyers walked of with the
evidence. They didn't leave a single
dollar" was the reply.-P Philadelphia
Times.

EDITORIAL

The Houston Post comes to our
exchange table once more with new
editorial name hoisted at its mizzen-
head. w. H. Hardesty is the name.
We trust that he will keep the Post
coming our way and we promise TO
keep up our part of the swap. Pre-
vlously we have found the Post one
of the most inconstant in exchange
relations.

The state pays the district officers
salaries to hold these courts, and the
Supervisors levy taxes at rate con-
templating the holding of same and
disbursing it back in the county a.
mong our people as jurors etc. So
nothing is really saved to the tax
payer by wiping out term, for the
supervisors usually spend the money
anyhow After all its cheaper ia
the long run to hold the courts at
the regular stated intervals even
though the volume of business APP
pear small. Like a well equipped
army and navy are the best guaran-
tees of peace, so is prompt and Wig
Orously conducted court the best
guarantee of the maintenance of law
and order in county. After the ex-
pense of summoning a jury has been
gone through with, it appears to US
as rather late hour to start pre-
termitment move, and calculated to
create confusion and loss of conf
dence in the stability of court for
regular holdings. Unless a far
sweeping and real public calamity
has lei down on a people, we think
such a move Ill advised.

CURIOUS BITS

The Herald stands where it has
previously declared itself with refer
ence to pretermitting our court
terms. We are opposed to prefer
mitments, where it means the entire
wiping out of term, but we recog-
nize that there might arise emergen-
cies wherein temporary pretermit-
ment or postponement (say for a
month or sol might be justifable.
Our observation is that if twelve
months is allowed to elapse with but
one term OF Circuit Court held in
the county that criminals get holder
and that the grand-iuries hardly ever
rake back more than six months be-
hind a term unless it's an unusual Sc
nous breach of law, hence the spirit
OF law observance is marred by such
policy of long time between courts.

The last issue Of the New Albany
Gazette reveals the astonishing fact
that S. Joe Owen has given up it's
editorship to Fl. Richard Smith of
Houston, Miss, who had bargained
for the purchase of the same during
the time in which Owen was figuring
upon running for congress and who
put in appearance on the agreed date
ready TO and did buy Joe out though
he had since framing that trade de-
cidcd to forego the congressional
ambition for the present. Joe Owen
is one of the best known. highest es-
teemed and ablest editors In the
state and the Herald particularly
hates to see him Withdraw from the
field of journalism, because of the
high estimate we placed upon the
man and his writings to further the
best interests of society and govern
ment. Well Joe will find it hard to
shake off permanently the charms of
newspaper work and we doubt if he
succeeds. but be that as it may we
shall alwavs cherish the man and his
valuable friendship.

s. P. ISSUES BOOK
ON WINNFMUCCA

The Southern Pacific company has
issued folder. entitled "Farmers
Wanted in the Winnemucca Country. -
The text was written by John M.
Steele, and in speaking of Winnemuc-
ca, the author says:
With no intention of making invid-
ious comparisons with other parts of
the state, no section of Nevada offers
better inducements than the area sur
rounding Winnemucca, in Humboldt
county. Recognized as one of tie best
balanced towns in the West, the county
seat, population of $500, and stu
ated so as to grow; Humboldt county,
according to the last government fig
ures, leads Nevada counties in the pro-
ducticn of wheat, alfalfa, prairie hay,
and in grains cut green; stands first
in cash spent for farm labor, second
in area under cultivation, second in
value of farm property and in value of
domestic animals. It's bank deposits
are over $2,000,000 and its bonded in
debtedness only $4,000 The county
is the center of tremendously rich min
ing district, which is constantly ex-
panding. OF Late new colonization, in
cluding the purchase of large ranches
by practical farmers from Utah, and
the placing on the market of new
lands, has given an impetus to dry
farming, which affords splendid pros
pect for returns of most substantial
character to the thrifty and indus
trious farmer. There has been a mar
velous advance in the dairying indus
try. The principal crops are alfalfa,
wheat, barley, fruits and vegetables,
and there are a number of fine or
charls, with more under way. The pos
sibilities of the conservation of water
and of irrigation by pumping from
wells has attracted the attention of a
class of new farmers who are coming
great numbers.
There are several illustrations in the
book, showing an alfalfa field and an
orchard, beth in the vicinity of Win
remucca. and a scene from Johnson s
ranch, south of town.

PATERNALISM
WITH A VENGEANCE

In recent address, a man familiar
with legislative conditions, outlined
the present trend of state legislation
toward railroad corporations as fol
lows:
Addressing the railroad managers he
said: You will not be permitted to
issue bonds and stocks in face amounts
greater than your actual expenditures
You will never be permitted to
make more out of this project than
four per cent per annum on the money
actually invested.
You will, however, be taxed upon
the actual value of your property as
ascertained from time to time, and.
if your securities find lavor in the
market and reflect greater than ac-
tual values, taxes will be levied upon
that basis.
The state will prescribe the method
of keeping your accounts and will ex-
~ mem at will.
"The state will determine the num-
Der of trains you shall run, and desig-
nate the stations at which they shall
top.
er of men you shall employ in operat-
< eui LldlHS, anu VIII Tx CuolT uOuIS
of labor and the conditions of their
employment.
sThe state will establish rates Of
fare and toll from time to time at it's
discretion, without consideration of
their reasonableness.
eff any other methods of regulating
you occurs to the state hereafter, they
will be adopted.
You will accept without objection
all regulations now or hereafter i'm
posed by the state, and if you appeal
for protection of the Federal courts,
the state will revoke your charter
All this and more, the states have
said to the railroads in recent or in
threatened legislation. Had the
states been as frank and specific when
bargaining with the corporations that
were planning to build these public
highways, there would have been pre-
sented beautiful exemplifcation Of
the principles of the square deal, but
if is doubtful if the railroads would
have been built.

WILLIAMS APPEAL AR.
GUED And SUBMITTED

The appeal of Franklin Williams
from the judgment of Judge Ducker,
sentencing him to an indeterminate
term in the penitentiary on convic
tion of having permitted gambling in
his place of business was called in the
Supreme Court Monday, but went over
until Wednesday.
The case was argued before the full
Court by Salter & Robins for Williams
and the district attorney of Humboldt
county for the State. The principal
points made by counsel for Williams
were
(1) That r. Battels, foreman of the
grand jury, had formed an opinion as
to guilt of defendant before the case
was submitted to the grand jury;
(2) That the only testimony present
ed by the State on the trial of the
case was that of accomplices;
CD That the trial jury was prejudic-
ed by the statement of the district at
torney, when summing up for the State,
that in the event of a disagreement,
the case would be tried again, thereby
putting the taxpayers of the county to
a great expense;
az That the evidence was INSULT
cient to Justify the verdict.
The case was submitted Wednesday
afternoon and a decision is looked for
before the first of the coming month.

applies to the rates on fruit and vege-

voluntary, not having been demanded
by any state or interstate commission,

FORMER NAIONAL MINING MAN
VISITING AT CARSON C1iY

S. X Bradford, a mining engineer of
note and wife, are in Carson stopping
at the Arlington hotel. Mr.. Bradford
is an able man as it applies to the min
ing field. Duriag the early days of
Tonopah, not as booster, but through
calculation ana application to superior
knowledge and understanding he pre-
dicted what Tonopah has since dem
onstrated. 1t was he who outlined the
ore trend as later demonstrated in the
deeper Belmont workings and which
made the Belmont one of the great
bonanza properties of the world. 1t
was Bradford who first started the
shaft on the Belmont to intercept that
great ore body a great depth and so
confident was he of his correct premise
that from the first issuance OF Belmont
stock and during its varied career of
| up and down he never parted with any
of his holdings, always maintaining
that Belmont interests would give him
the s'nest egg for life for which man
strives so much and in this he is rea'
lizing that reward which ms 1ore-
sight assured him.
He as an associate of Hon. j. f
Kendall is deserving of the main cred
II for the opening up OF tue ii.n MY
gra' e shoot on Charleston hill and
hich is such strenuous cause for the

'ng in the L. S. Court Briefly, next
10 Jesse H. Workman, he is entitled

so goriously reflects the richness ana
grandeur Oh the National mining DIS
trict. Bradford is unquestionably one
of the best and most instructive pre-
sentations of man who usually picks
the right and good things in mining
sections. In combination bradford IS
worthy man and citizen.--Carson
