A STRAIGHT
LECTURE
Judge Breen on the
Indian Case

The selling of whisky to Indi-
ans by white men is evidently a
state wide worry, and keeps the
courts III practically every coun-
ty on the hustle to keep up with
Gh!s procession. Recently in Aus
tiH before Judge Breen man ac-
cu>ed Of this crime was acquitted.
Tlc Judge was pretty hot about
ii and said:
lear in and year out, it costs
the taxpayers of Lander County
more to prosecute men accused Of
that Ofense, than to prosecute for
al other crimes put together. In
TIC case just decided, there was
hardly a pretense of defense.
Indeed, counsel for the defendant,
pl actically admitted the guilt of
hi client in his argument. But
tie admission went for naught
and sympathy, not evidence, dom
mated the consideration of the
case when it was finally submit
ted.

THE LAND

QUALITY
Big Crop on an Old
Grain Field

The talk about wearing out the
soil Of Nevada don't seem to bear
out the statement. At the John
McEwen place near Lake View
there is probably one of the heav-
lest stands of grain that will be
cut this season. 1t is conceded
by Mr.. McEwen to be the finest
in many years on his place.
This particular land has been
under constant cultivation for
over thirty-five years. In that
time there has never been pound
of fertilizer placed on the field.
IT has bourn grain practically ev-
cry season and is yet in the bnsl-
ness. Any talk of wearing out
this class Of soil wont work. Mac

with a new gun. all because some
one passed his place last season
and told him that his old ranch

ger.

BOXING MATCHES HERE
IN CITY OF AMERICAS?
Interesting Discussion at
Council Meeting

1t was revealed recently at a meet
ing of the city council when a license
on sparring matches was introduced
into the city tax ordinance taxing
these exhibition $40 each, that a TT
quest had been made specifically some
time ago for permission for the hold
ing of such a match.
To say that the bringing up of a
matter created a sensation at council
meeting is but stating it mildly. The
membersof the board of aldermen sat
up and took notice when mention was
made of it. The suggestion was i'm
mediately offered that the sum of $40
was very small tax for an exhibit
ton of this kind.
The discussion brought out the
fact that the state law governs the
number of rounds for such exhibit
tons, and that there would be very
little likelihood of any such matches
here, unless they were of the most
kind. So the license was
passed up at $40, and the discussion
boxing matches was at
an end.
