While the grand jury has made

to make complaint in due and spe-

has taken the initiative in the COM

aWhat a shame that Darrow. whose

MIRKOVICH MAY
NOT Be EXECUTED
ON AUGUST e
WARDEN AT STATE PRISON is
UNABLE TO SECURE MEN TO
CARRY OUT SENTENCE

In conformity with the special dis. |
patch as published yesterday by /
the Bonanza. relative to the trouble |
experienced by Warden Cowing of
the state penitentiary to secure
men who will officiate at the shoot |
i ing OF Andrija Mirkovich on August
l3. the Reno Gazette of last evening
has the following TO say:
George w Cowing, warden of the
Nevada state penitentiary, must find
five men ready and willing to shoot
down a human being in cold blood
before the 23d day OF this month.
And Warden Cowing is at his wits
end TO meet this problem, the strang
est which any warden OF the Nevada
penitentiary ever faced. On Aug
ust 20 Andriia Mirkovieh is con
demned to die. When asked by the
Judge, as required under the new
effective January 1. whether he pre-
ferred TO have the death penalty in
flicted by hanging or shooting, Mirk-
ovich requested that he be shot. In
accordance with this request the
trial Judge decreed that he pay the
! penalty for the crime of murder,
which he had committed, by being
shot TO death. fixing August % as
the date.
J Mirkovich was taken to Carson
and lodged in the penitentiary. On
Z the trip from Tonopah TO the peni-
} tentiary he begged that the death
penalty be inflicted Immediately.
: When he reached the prison he re-
/, ouested the warden to shoot him at
n once and end il all. but the letter
q of the law demanded that he be exc
cuted by shooting on August 70. II

NOT BE A CANDIDATE
DECLINES TO OFFER FOR
SCHOOL DIRECTOR - FOUR
NAMES SUBMITTED.

Although he was urged by num-
Der of citizens to allow his name to
be placed on the ticket as candidate
for school director, 10 Frauenthal
stated today that he could not under
any circumstances accept the posi-
ton, and declined to permit the use
of his name as a candidate. Mr..
Frauenthal was for three years pres
ident of the local school board, during

that his services would be of much
value in devising means to meet the
present financial difficulties of the
district
Secretary S. E. Anderson said to-
day that the names of four candi-
dates had been handed by by friends
with the request that they be placed
on the ticket These are j . r. Don
nell, J. C. Dawson, J C. Clark and
W B. Hubbell. The ticket will not
be closed, however, until tomorrow
afternoon, and other names may be
added later.
Two directors are to be elected Sat
urday to succeed S. E. Anderson and
l.. H. Pyle, whose terms expire this
year The rate of taxation for the
ensuing year will also be voted.

ate discount market at home and

I. The organization of better
banking facilities with other coun-
tries, to aid in the extension of our

TOMORROW.

Tomorrow" said the languid man,
I'll have my life insured, l
guess;
l know it is the safest plan to save
my children from distress"
And when the morrow came around,
They gently placed him in a box;
At break of morning he was found as
dead as julius Caesars OK.
His widow now is scrubbing floors,
and washing stairs and splitting
wood,
And doing fifty other chores, that she
may rear her waiIing brood.
Tomorrow" said the careless Jay,
IN take an hour and make my
will;
And then if | should pass away, the
wife and kids will know no i'll.
The morning came, esrene and ince,
the weather mild, with signs of
rain;
The careless Jay was placed on ice,
embalming uuid in his brain.
Alas! alas! poor careless Jay, the
the lawyers got his pile of cash;
His wife is striving night and day to
to keep the Riddles in clothes and
hash.
Tomorrow is the ambushed walk,
avoided by the circumspect;
Tomorrow is the fatal rock on which
a million ships are wrecked
Moral: Get your insurance today.
The Hartford Life is better.

families in this village and vicinity
were stupefied today over the closing
OF the Windsor Locks Savings Bank,
following the death OF its treasurer,
Alfred w. Converse, the towns most
eminent citizen. who Is blamed for an
apparent shortage Of S175.O0o.
The depositors were farmers, mill
hands. and a few tobacco growers, none
Of whom make much money, and the
funds tied UP represent in many in
stances the savings Of lifetimes. Some,
who were dependent on the interest on
their deposits for their daily expenses,
were actually facing poverty today,
while a number OF the local business
men. who cannot get the money they
put in the. bank. weres facing ruin.
None Of the examinerse would talk,
but 1t seemed certain the state laws
were violated. as 1t was learned no
trial balance had been taken in the
bank in forty years. The examiners
will not know for at least a week just
how much the deposits are short.
