CaShman'S Narrow Escape

James T. eastman had a narrow es-
cape from being seriously injured last
night while working alone at the Quar-
tette cyanide plant. In some manner
his arm caught in the large conveyor
belt that carries the tailings away, and
he was drawn into pulley. However,
his strength and the bulk of his body
proved sufficient to partially stall the
belt, which gave him chance, while
being drawn slowly in, to get his knife
out with his left hand and cut through
the belt, which is twenty-one inches
wide, the eby releasing himself

SAFEGUARD
MARRIAGE.
Episcopal COnVOCatiOn at Reno
Urges Law Requiring
Health Certificate

Is marriage sufficiently safeguarded?
This question occupied much of the at
tention of the Nevada Convocation of
the Episcopal Church which met in
Reno last week, at which Rev. Paul B.
James of this city was present. The
result of this discussion was a resolu-
tion, unanimously adopted, urging the
legislature to pass a law requiring all
candidates for matrimony to file with
the county clerk a certificate of health
from some reputable physician before
the issuance of the marriage license.
This action was endorsed last Mon
day morning by the Nevada Minis
terial Association, representing not
only the Episcopal Church, but also all
the Protestant denominations in the
state. A strenuous campaign will be
inaugurated in behalf of the proposed
legislation.
The text of the resolutions adopted
by the Episcopal Convocation is as
follows:
RESOLVED, That this Convocation
heartily approves that portion of Bish-
op Robinson's S address in which he re-
fers to the carelessness of many clergy
men in the performance of the mar
riage ceremony, and to the possibility
of safeguarding this sacrament by re-
quiring that a certificate of health
from some reputable physician accom-
pany the marriage license. And be it
further
RESOLVED, That we, the clergymen
of the district of Nevada, pledge our
selves to require such certificate of
health in any case where there is a
reasonable doubt as to the fitness of
either party for marriage. And be it
further
RES oLvED, That this organization
advocate the passage of law by the
next legislature requiring that such a
certificate of health be presented to
the county clerk upon application for a
license to marry.
By the Ministerial Association:
RESOLVED, That the Ministerial As
sociation of the state of Nevada rec
ommend to the incomming legislature
the enactment of the following laws:
O A law requiring each applicant
for marriage to file with the county
clerk a certificate of health from some
reputable physician.
(2) A law requiring II months legal
residence in the state of Nevada as
requirement in instituting divorce ac-
tion.
81 A law providing for the erection
of an industrial school in the state of
Nevada.

Teachers Examinations

A mid-year state teachers examina-
ton will be held at Las Vegas in the
office of the deputy superintendent,
corner of Carson and Fifth streets,
December %, "a. 26 and 27, 1912. The
deputy superintendent of public in
struction will conduct the examina-
tions.
Teachers of Clark County. who are
now on permit, or whose certificates
expire before the close of the school
year, are directed to attend the exam
ination, if they desire to continue
teaching after the expiration of pres
ent licenses held. All permits expire

Hope is expressed that others may
avail themselves of this opportunity to
secure licenses to teach in the public
schools of Nevada.

was sought to establish by them that
Felix was abusive and foul in his Ian
guage and quarrelsome in disposition.
1t was also shown by the defense that
Felix and Graham had fight early in
the day of the fatal assault, at which
time Felix gave Graham the worst of
it, the fight ending with Felix on top.
1t is claimed by the defense that this
placed Graham in position where he
was afraid of bodily injury from Felix.
1t appears probable that the case will
be completed and submitted to the jury
by Saturday evening.

apa Stake convened here last Saturday
and Sunday. 1t was to have been held
in Bunkerville. but was changed owing
to an epidemic of measles in that
place. DIR. James Talmage and Bishop
o. P. Miller were in attendance from
Salt Lake City.
The attendance from all parts of the
valley was very good, considering the
cold windy days of the conference, but
very light from the other wards of the
stake. All wards except the Alamo
ward were reported by ward bishops
except the Mesquite ward, which was
represented by Lewis Pulsifer. Pat
riarch Thos. j. Jones, the presidency of
the stake, and majority of the MEM
bers of the high council were in atten-
dance.
Four sessions of the conference were
held, also a priesthood meeting and a
Sunday evening session. The instruc-
tions given were timely and appreciat-
ed, as may be realized when it is known
that some of our people have lived
here to see visit from a member of
the quorum of the Twelve, once in
twenty-seven years.
DR.. Talmage returned on Monday,
but Bishop Miller remained over one
day on business connected with the
church land at Kaolin.

The woman has filed in the circuit

only three years old when the father
and mother separated, has been left

amount Harrison recommends that
they be surcharged.
The executors, in the account, charge
themselves with receipts totaling S46,-

items making a total of $1207.02, paid
out on account of inheritance tax for

the executors be surcharged with that

owing to the absence of Attorney Cen
