COW KILLS HORSE AND
ATTACKS AN AUTOMOBILE

Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Hansel of
the Elko Dairy and Mr. Bangs drove
some cows to the corral of the
slaughter house Two of the cows
broke out of the corral and Mr..
Hansel and Mr. Banks started after
them on horseback. Mr. Hansel
was riding his old white horse and,
when he got near the cows, one Of
them charged the horse and nearly
disembowelled him. The men then
gave their attention to the injured
horse, and finally killed him to put
him out of his misery.
The COW seemed to be thorough
ly crazed After goring the horse,
she struck out through the sage
brush into the public road east of
town The next thing she met was
Billy Mayer in his automobile with
his wife and other ladies. When
some distance off, Billy saw the
COW and slowed down his machine.
The cow, however, paid no atten-
ton to him and he run to one side
of her. AS he was passing, she
turned on the machine and ran one
of her horns through the brass and
glass on one of the front lamps.
The momentum of the automobile
broke one of her horns an d threw
her to one side. She soon recover
ed and charged the rear end of the
machine frightening, the ladies but
doing no further damage.
Mr.. Hansel has had parties look
ing for the cow today but up to 2
o'clock she had not been found.
She is dangerous animal to be at
large.

TESTING COINS

"There goes another man suffer-
ing from degeneration of public
manners, I" said the clerk III an ag-
grieved tone. 81 gave him five
pieces Of silver in making change,
and he tested every one of them to
see if it was counterfeit right be-
fore my eyes. 1t is only lately
that people who buy have got rude
enough to do that Clerks always
did it with coin that customers
gave them. but that was a preroga-
tive of the trade. For the CUSTOM
to assume the same privilege is a
unsurpation of ancient rights. The
worst of it is most people nova
days are pretty good judges of bad
money, and every little while q coin
is refused because it. is counterfeit.
The only way tradesman can teach
customers the respect due them is
to turn their own backs when test
ing money. That has always b cen
the custom in England. No trades
man over there would dare flip q
coin under a customers nose, and
as consequences no customer has
ever taken that liberty with him.

CHAMP CLARK'S CHANCES

1t is not believed that any candi-
date will go to Baltimore with
enough votes to nominate for that
convention will operate under the
two-thirds rule, but it is possible
that Speaker Clark will have more
votes at the outset than any other
candidate. Either he will lead or
Wilson. There is no candidate in
the running SO progressive" as
Wilson, nor none so conservative"
as Harmon. Wilson and Ha mon
represent the extremes and Clark
is half way between them.
This being true, there is ground
for the belief of Clark managers
that the speaker in the event of a
deadlock, will draw support from
all other can iidates. The Harmon
supporters will Hardly go to Will
son, and the Wilson supporters will
not 20 10 harmon.
Another thing that operates in
favor of Clark. He has exhibited
sense of honor in his public
career; he has made a record
with which the country is familiar,
and there appears to be a feeling
among business men in the East
that Clark is safe" 1t is true
that a great many eastern demo-
Gratis look with favor upon Har-
mon, but it is equally true that
there is not much enthusiasm for
Harmon outside Of Ohio. Because
of the lack of probability that
Harmon can be nominated eastern
democrats who were inclined to
favor him, have been looking about
for the next best man, and almost
always they settle upon Champ
Clark or else on Oscar Underwood,
Champ Clark's lieutenant in the
house of representatives.
But for the fact that he has
recently become a national figure
Underwood would very likely be q
strong factor in the in the demo-
cratic presidential race. But it is
believed that Underwood. sooner or
later, will retire in favor of Clark
as showing the greater strength.
There is plenty Of opportunity
f or the democratic presidential
outlook to undergo great change
before the Baltimore convention
meets. but it is the judgement Of
most politicians in Washington
that perhaps Champ Clark today
has q better chance than any other
avowed candidate for the :democ-
ratio preside ntiRl,A nomination.

LAWYERS |NCENSED BY
DELAYED APPOINTMENT

With the wheels of justice clogged
and the routine of the First District
Court at a standstill through the
failure of Governor Wilson to appoint
a successor to the late Judge
Malcolm MacLear. lawyers have be-
come incensed at the delays of their
cases, clients have become impatient
and the calendar Is in a state Of con-
fusion and congestion.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Judge Thomas J. Lintott, of the Sec
ond District Court. has sent to Gov
'ernor Wilson and urged him to fill
the vacancy, the governor has appar-
emily been too ~engrossed with his per-
sonal affairs to consider the natter
said a prominent lawyer today.
THE conditions are terrible. Law
yers have no chance to be heard.
They can't issue any processes and
many of them are taking their cases
to other courts. So much work has
been thrown upon the Second Dis
trict Court, where judges sit only
three days each week. that 1t is nee
essary to do six days work in
three"
According to the lawyer, Governor
Wilson was advised by his friends
not to make the appointment until
after the primaries, but "the prima-
ries are over and still there Is no
promise of relief" he continued.
Wilson is too busy running after
the presidential nomination to bother
with the appointment of a Judge.
According to tradition, the va
cancy should be filled by a Republic
can, as Judge Lintott Is q Democrat,
and where there are two courts of a
similar nature In one county, being
considered non-partisan, they are
generally filed by a Republican and a
Democrat.
ut seemed to me, therefore, to be a
toss-up between Theodore d. Gottlieb
and former Judge Thomas l.. Ray
mond, both Progressive Republicans,
for the vacancy. In the interest OF
Mr.. Gottlieb the Governor has had
the necessity Of the appointment kept
before him by former Judge Thomas
s. Henry.
"I'll bet If you went down to Tren-
ton you would find executive work
piled up a mile high on the Governors
desk. There is no reason for the fail
ure of the Governor to fill this va
cancy and do away with this con-
fusion and delay, except his superior
interest in the Baltimore convention
over his interest In the affairs of his
own State"

wife of DR.. Henry A. Scheppach, OF
