A SUNDAY
MORNING ROBBERY

Thursday or Friday of last week
Mitchell Haggerty of Lovelock
struck'the town. He seemed to
have plenty of money and spent 1T
freely. Early Sunday morning
he was pretty drunk and Bert
Dixon, Charles Miller, E.. G Achen
and Oominick Smith concluded
they would get what money he had
left. They went to Haggerty's
room in the Commercial Hotel
annex and proceeded to go through
his clothes and take his money.
Officer Cotant. Kenneth Davis and
Earl Armsti olg we're onto them
and watched them through a
window. As they were leaving the
room with Haggertys money, they
were arrested by Officer Cotant.
While they were being searched
one of them was seen to drop a
piece Of paper. AS Haggerty was
known to have a Wells Fargo check
and it failed to turn up in the
search, Mr.. Armstrong asked about
it, when Dixon replied it was
under his feet. The check was
picked un and the men were taken
to Jail.
This forenoon Haggerty could
not be found to prosecute the men.
When they were taken before
judge Klatte a vagrancy charge
WAS placed against them and
Dixon, Miller and Smith were
given an hour in which to get out
of town. The charge against
Achen was dismissed and he went
back to his work at the Commercial
hotel.

STRIKE MAY EXTEND TO ELY

That ramifications of the Bing-
ham strike will extend into three
states and that 5000 miners in
Nevada and New Mexico will pro-
badly be called out within two days
was the statement made last night
by President Charles H. Meyer of
the Western Federation of Miners,
says the Neutrality-suspicious..
The properties to he affected, &C.
cording to Mr.. Meyer are the
Nevada Consolidated at Ely. en-
ploying $500 men, and Chino
Copper company, at Santa Rita, N.
NJ, employing 1900 men. D. G..
Jackling, vice-president and
general manager the Utah Copper
company at Bingham, is general
manager of the Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed and of the Chino company. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Meyer, it is be-
cause of Mr.. Jatlsling's refusal to
deal with the unions here that the
men working at mines in which he
is interested in Nevada ard New
Mexico will be called out.
the president of the Western
Federation of Miners did not mince
words in expressing his views of
Mr.. Jackling's attitude in the
Bingham situation.
"Mr. lacking refuses to recog-
oize the union in Utah." said Mr..
Meyer, and we see no reason why
union men in other states should
work for him. The men have
some pride ard are unwilling to
work where they are not wanted.
In fact, the miners empoyed at
the Nevada Consolidated at Ely are
ready to go out at moments
notice. Mr.. Jackling is general
manager of the Nevada Consolidat.
ed and officials of the union at Ely
have written me asking IL l did not
think 1t advisable that they strike.

hon. ". 4. MASSEY

The announcement of Hon. W A..
Massey. republican nominee for
United States senator. appears else
where in this issue.
3 Senator Massey spent several
years iu this county and is we'll
known by the old timers. In 1892.
he was elected to the assembly by
the silver party and in 1894 was
elected district attorney Of this
county by the same party. In
1896 ne. was the silver party cam
didate for supreme Judge and was
elected. He served portion of
the term and resigned to enter
active practice with Judge Cheney
OF Reno. In 1910, he was a candi-
date for governor at the primary
election and was defeated by Gov
ernor Oddie. Or the refusal of
George Wingtield to accept the APP
pointment to fill. the vacancy, caus-
ed by the death of Senator Nixon,
Judge Massey received and accep-
ed the appointment. He went at
once to Washington and entered
upon the duties of United States
senator.
During Senator Massey's long
residence in this state, he has
measured up to high standard of
citizenship. He has given the state
honest and efficient service as a
citizen and as an official. So far
as we know. there is no stain upon
his public or private life.
But after all this is said. there
remains the fact that Senator
Massey is a republican. He be-
lieves in republican principles and
republican theories Of government.
These principles and these theories
are in direct conflict with those
held by tine writer and prevent his
support of him for the high office
to which he aspires. But this
shall MT make us SANDER and de-
fame him during the campaign.
We cheeerfully admit that he is as
honest in his convictions as we are
in those we hold. If Senator
Massey were the democratic can.
didate for United States senator,
he would nave our earnest support
but our duty in the present cam
paigD requires that we should
support his democratic opponent,
Hon. Key Pittman. Friends ir
must give way to duty.

COURTESY IN
THE H01E

One source of unhappiness IN

between its members. Because
they are in daily contact, they
are Just own folks" and care.
lessness in conduct follows.
This breeds indifference and
to quarrels. The omission OF
thank yOu,' or please" or
good morning" or good night"
has been thr rift within the
Lutte" and it has caused unhap.
piness and wrecked the lives Of
more than few married people.
This Indifference or careless.
ness leads To disregard of the
feelings and wishes of others and
things are done that wouldEhave
been avoided had affection been
kept warm by careful thought
and the little gracious attentions
that count for 81 much.
Real harm comes from not
rightly understanding one an
other in a fsmily-frOm the lack
of ready and warm sympathy. A
great help to this understanding
and sympathy is in according to
ones own family all those plea -
ing, courteous attentions that
one offers 10 friend or guest or
stranger. If of importance to
them, much more is it to ones
own family. 1t costs but a little
effort aud thought, and soon it
becomes hsbitual.
The good influence that cour-
tesy exerts upon children and
the happiness it adds to the
home cannot be estimated.
Practising it will make life more
pleasing to all you know and to
yourself as well.
