ers and guards Of the Steptoe COM
pany The coroner's jury that in

the shooting of the two Strikers was
unnecessary and recommended re
ferring the ease TO the grand jury.
A special grand jury was empanneled
and heard the evidence submitted
against Allen and twenty-one Others
who had been arrested on the charge
of murder. following the verdict of
the coroner's jury. The grand jury
reported November 26 to Judge
Coleman of the district court, that
no true bill had been found against
the respondents, and the Judge or
dered the grand jury discharged.
District Attorney McFadden and
Anthony Jurich. attorney for the
Western Federation of Miners, took
exceptions to the report of the grand
i.ry, and Mr.. Zurich moved that the
entire matter be taken up again and
the evidence resubmitted to another
grand jury. After hearing the at

BABE FOUND
FROZEN To
DEATH

Yesterday the dead body of an in
fant was found beside the track oil

distance from McGill Junction. The
grewsome discovery was made by

but as to where 1t came from nothing
is known, as there was no clothing
nor anything tending to Identified
tion.
The frozen condition of the body
indicated that it had been exposed
for some little time, although with
the severe cold weather of the past
week, a body would quickly freeze
and therefore make it difficult to de-
termine the the period of exposure

| LEGISLATION
DISCUSSED At
JOINT MEET

There was a special meeting of the
city council, Monday night, at which
the state senators and assemblymen-
elect We're present and there was a
general discussion relative to pro-
posed plans for reducing the city's
expenses. and of prospective legisla-
tion bearing on the same subject.
There was a free expression of opin-
ion and the matter of county and
municipal government and expenses
quite thoroughly entered into. Prob
ably the matter will take more def
mite form before the convening of
the legislature, in January. and the
members of the Legislature suggested
that the city council and the county
commissioners confer together on the
proposed plans, as the matter was
one affecting the county as well as
the city.
The council promised to do this
and meeting for that purpose will
undoubtedly Dc dlIduetu.
Among the suggestions is one for
legislative action making the sheriff
of White Pine county ex-officio city
marshal of the city of Ely, and COM
bining the offices of the city attorney
and district attorney Another sug-
gestion by the council is for the leg
islators to bring about the passage of
bill allowing the poll taxes col
leeted in incorporated cities to be ap-
piled to highway work within the
, city limits.
The council is also of the opinion
that city merchants of the city are
subjected to injustice by having to
pay city and state license, and the
passage of a law is advocated where
by merchandise license money col
lected in incorporated cities, be turn
ed into the city treasury allowing
the city licenses to be remitted.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the city finances are in pretty
good condition, with no large nor
general municipal improvements
necessary for some time to come,
and that with the payment next year
of $4,000 on the eity's first bond
issue of $4,000, interest charges
will be reduced 5000 per year. The
storm sewer bonds of 10000 must
oe taken care of within five years.
