M'CARR[T WON
THE NOMINATION

Considerable advertising is being
done in behalf of the Independent
candidate for Justice of the Sup
RENE Court, but the object of this
advertising can be none other than
to mislead the people. The man
VIII now aspires to the independent
candidacy has been twice bonored
by the Democratic Party in being
placed in the Congress of the
United States as the candidate of
that party. He now seeks to
weaken and destroy the party that
honored him by defeating if
possible its candidate. Avoiding a
Jair and equal contest in the pri-
maries he now comes forth as an
independent with no other purpose
in view than that to defeat the
nominee of the Democratic party.
The strength of Pat" McCar-
ran. the regular Democratic
nominee, in Elko county is mani
fest from the fact that he carried
nearly every precinct in the county
by splendid majority. The
majority will be doubled in the
coming election because those who
know McCarran, whether they be
Democrat or Republican respect
him and recognize his ability for
the position for which the Demo-
cracy has nominated him. He will
carry Elko county by splendid
majority over all other candidates.

CAPTURED AND ESCAPED

Instead of taking the Western
Pacific for Salt Lake Thursday
morning, W. G. Burns. the passer
of worthless checks, hid out near
town and at 2 o'clock in the after
noon he walked into the Western
Pacific :oundbouse and began bos-
sing the force. He finally became
"a nuisance and about 5 o'clock
Sheriff Harris was notified to come
to the roundhouse after a crazy
man. He went to the roundhouse
and brought the man, who proved
10 be Burns, to town.
His wife and her people prevail
ed upon the sheriff to leave Burns
with them for the night promising
to keep him safely and turn him
over to the officers this morning.
Burns and his wife were in their
room when Mr.. and Mrs. Kleckner
went to breakfast this morning,
but on their return Burns was
missing and no trace of him has
been found at this writing, al
though all the officers of the town
have been looking for him. He
seems TO have vanished into thin
air.
Burns at times acts as if he was
off his base, but whether he is
shamming or not no one seems to
know. He sent for Billy Mayer
last evening to talk over the check
he had given him On the Henderson
Bank. He insisted that the check
was alright and that he had plenty
of money in the bank to pay it.
Billy did not believe this story and
told Burns so.
Whether crazy or not, Burns has
an eye for business. If you do not
believe it, ask Rev. George +.
Greenfield to relate his experience
with him. As the story goes,
Burns persuaded Mr.. Greenfield
to buy the marriage license and the
wedding ring. For the former he
paid the legal fee and for the
latter six dollars. Burns forgot
to pay Mr.. Greenfield for the
license and ring and also failed to
pay the usual wedding fee.
