JOHN HENDERSON
NOT REMOVED

Judge Coleman Of Ely, White
Pine county, sitting for Judge
Taber. today denied the application
of Mrs. Matilda Campbell through
her attorneys johnson & Hairston
for the removal of John Henderson
as executor Of the estate of J. D.
Abel, deceased. Judge Coleman
Feld that no cause for removal was
shown in the way of mismanage-
ment of the estate or Negligence
and that it was for the best interests
Of the estate to retain Mr.Hender-
son as executor. rather than make
a change at this time. Any delay
was occasioned by the attempt on
his part and his attorneys, Hender-
son, Game & Van Fleet to obtain a
settlement in the two estates of Mary
Abel and John T. Abel without fur
Their legation. Judge Coleman there
fore dismissed the application upon
motion of the executors attorneys
after the evidence for Mrs. Camp
bell was presented and without
calling for any evidence from the
executor at all.

GUY HARDIN

The office of constable is a very
important one to the people of
Elko and it should be filled h a
man who will do his duty without
fear or favor. Upon the proper
conduct of this office depends in a
large degree the peace of the town
and the security of life and
property.
The latest candidate for this
office is Mr.. Guy Hardin, an old
resident of the town and one of it's
enterprising citizens. Mr.. Hardin
has had good deal of experience
as d peace officer. File has served as
deputy sheriff and as deputy con-
stable of Elko township. In both
position he made a good record.
He is democrat and asks the
support of his party at the primary
election. If nominated at the prim-
airy election, the ether candidates
for the Office will have to make a
lively race to beat him under the
wire in November. If elected, he
promises to give the public faithful,
efficient service. The democratic
voters of this township should give
Mr.. Harbin's claims thoughtful
consideration. He is competent
and worthy of their support.
