SHERIFF. SMITH PAROLED.

o. H. Smith. former sheriff of
Lincoln county. who, instead of be-
ing sent to the penitentiary when
convicted of -embezzlement was sent
to the prison farm and. by reason of
a special personal letter from the
judge who convicted him, was shown
every consideration possible to show
a prisoner was paroled in special
session, the parole to begin October
Is.
Smith vas sentenced from Phoebe
when it was shown that he was sew
eral thousand dollars short in his
accounts. The parole was made
upon petition being submitted from
the sherin's bondsmen, the district
attorney and prominent citizens of
the county. 1t was stated he had
m%ortgaged his home and all other
property he possessed to make good
the shortage.

STORE GIRLS STRIKE AT RENO.

Refusing to work nine hours a day.
for four dollars a week. the sales
girls of the F. ". woolworth five.
ten and fifteen cent store at Reno.
went on strike at 3 O'Clock Monday
afternoon.
Eight to twelve. and one to six
are the hours the s~alesgirls have at
the FIVE. ten and fifteen cent store.
On Saturdays they stay until late in
the evening. but get four hours off
during the day. There are IL girls
regularly, and on Saturday the force
is doubled.
Il don't have to depend entirely
on what l make here" said one of
the girls, but I think 1t a disgrace
for anybody to ask girls to work nine
hours a day six days in the week for
four dollars and four and a half.
Girls who work like that ought to
stick together like We did"
AS if by a p~re-arranged plan at 3
O'Clock, the girls took advantage of
the managers absence in the base
ment after stock and walked down to
the back of the store. Customers
who came in lined up behind them,
and when the boss got back he
thought there had been a serious ac-
cident or a holdup to brighten them.
Being informed that the girls re-
fused to work longer at the wages
they had been getting, he readily
consented to raise their pay to a dol
lar a day and they returned to work
at once. He said that it is customary
with the syndicate he represents to
start the girls at four dollars a week
and raise them gradually thereafter

DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED.

While attempting to repair an au-
tomato shotgun or pumpgun, ". c.
Morgan accidentally shot his wife as
she lay sleeping in their house camp
wagon at Indian Spring ranch, three
miles north of Las Vegas. The charge
struck the forearm and face of the
%slumbering victim and caused a hor-
rible sight for the crazed husband to
gaze upon.
There was no one with them but
an old man, and after stopping long
enough to stop the flow of blood
from the wound in the arm the hus-
band started on a wild horseback
ride to town for assistance, being
compelled to leave the sufferer prac-
tically alone with her terrible injur-
les.
After first aid had been applied
the wounded woman was brought in
the hospital where she is now be-
ing cared for.
1t appears that a large portion of
the forearm vas torn away and that
the charge then struck the victim
full in the mouth, breaking the jaw,
tearing out several teeth and LAGER
ating the face. Its Is believed that
the injuries will heal, however, with
out much Disagreement.
Mr.. Morgan was fixing a gun that
had been out of repair for some time
and felt sure it was not loaded

State
A REASON GIVEN.

A reason has at last been given for
the election OF Key Pittnlan to the
senate. The Pittman campaign bu-
reau gave the information to the
public recently through the columns
OF the Appeal. A startling revelation
it was-Key Pittman is possessed
of a great uncle who once wrote a
poem which was set to music and
which we all delight to hear, es-
pecially on the 4th of July. But the
most marvellous thing about it is ac-
cording to the press bureau, that
Key Pittman is a descendant of the
immortal M%arylander" who happen
ed to have this brief flight of poeti-
cal frenzy, for which we should all
be grateful. Just whether We should
vote for Pittman for what this great
uncle did a hundred years ago, or be-
cause he has the distinction of de-
scending from his great uncle, in
stead of pursuing the line which US
common mortals have been Obliged
to follow, that of relying on our good
grand fathers TO start us on the ac-
customed genealogical tobogan, We
are unable TO tell. But be that as 1t
may, we think the reasons proposed
for supporting Pittman are the best
that have been offered up to date. II
is something TO run on the reputa-
ton of a great uncle, even II he is a
dead one.-Carson City "

JAILED. WHEN SUICIDE FAILED.

Charles Black, who attempted
suicide at Fallon, was tried. found
guilty and sentenced to the state
prison. OF all the fool jokes, a
state ever pulled of this is the limit,
comments the Carson City Appeal.
At the present time it is safe to say
that at least twenty women have at
tempted the suicide route, been
pumped out and could be sent to
prison for failure. AS many men
are in the same fix. To pick out this
poor sheepherder and send him over
the line is the result of the delibera-
lions of the men who framed the
law.
When he was received at the pris-
on the warden thought it a joke, as
he came for a year and a day. When
he was measured at the state police
headquarters the joke had gone the
limit. When asked concerning the
OuslutS1 ne SldlE0 lndl hniAC AF
spondent he had attempted to kill
himself by cutting his throat. The
evidence of the mark and the fact
that he pleaded guilty was sufficient
and the judge had to follow the law.
The very idea of making a felon of
a man who is so unfortunate as to
be brought to a suicides condition
Is amost too laughable to be con-
sidered. Now that this law is in
action let it run its course and fill
the prison with a lot of people who
seek shelter in prison rather than
face their imaginable troubles.
There is evidently a lot of work for
the incoming legislature to do.

RICH STRIKE AT MANHATTAN.

One of the richest strikes yet
made in the Manhattan district, and
n that is not excelled by many in
any other mining district, was made
on the Merten-Cantwell lease on the
Crescent claim a few days ago. From
three egg-pans of ore $50 worth of
gold was PANIED. Including that in
a space not eighteen inches in length
by three In width a total of $3.50 was
secured.
The richest of the rock comes
from a wide seam that CRISES the
drift from north to south and is
from 10 to 16 inches wide. filled with
spar and black manganese and Is
said to be apparently a assure of no
small Importance.

of loo miles, here traffic from Reno

PLACE BLAME OF BOILER
EXPLOSION ON ENGINEER

The board of inquiry comprising
j. Copley. a Nevada merchant; H. ".
Griffith, a mining man; and five
Southern Pacific officials and en-
ployes, convened to ascertain the
cause of and fixing the responsibility
for the explosion of the boiler OF
engine 2s33 on westbound extra
freight No. 2s33 at Cosgrove, Ne
vada. on October 3, resulting in the
death of Engineer n. L. Robinson
and Fireman c. c. Cool. has found
that the accident vas due TO the
water in the boiler being allowed to
get too low. Responsibility is plae-
ed on Engineer Robinson.
The inquiry brought out the fact
that the locomotive had been care
fully inspected at Sparks on Octo-
Der 3, both by the inspectors of the
Southern Pacific company and of the
interstate commerce commission and
"a found TO be in good working or
der. The explosion occurred while
the train of A carr was running at
about thirty miles an hour.
The boiler was thrown a distance
of 800 feet by the force of the ex-
plosion and debris were scattered
about in a radius of 500 feet from
the track.
With the engineer and fireman
dead and the locomotive wrecked 10
an extent that but little of the origi-
nal machine can be rebuilt, the
board of inquiry would have done
we'll il it had published the reasons
that led to the decision that the ex-
plosion vas caused by low water in
the boiler. The first thing the aver
age reader will ask on perusing the
brief published verdict that places
the blame eonclusiyely on a dead
man, is: How did you know the
water was low?"

ET,s HAVE a NEW DEAL"

l. In one of the towns of the val
ley this is the plea that is being made
in behalf of the town to license booze.
But that is not a new deal
Thirty years ago there was not a
town in Southern California but had
licensed saloons. There were a few
towns that had vainly attempted to
grow with free booze as the chief
foundation.
Anaheim. Santa Monica and San
Bernardiuo were conspicuous among
the towns that thought free booze
could make business. Other towns
thought differently. and but few
years were required to show that such
temperance towns as Redlands River
side, Pasadena and Long Beach were
outstripping the booze places. and the
latter began to overhaul their meth
ods, TO restrict booze, and Just in pro-
portion as they have established de-
cency in the place of debauchery they
have recovered lost ground and have
demonstrated anew the fact that. with
communities as with individuals, rep
utation for sobriety and decency is
the best of capital.
