A Correction

SO many have commented up
on the strikingly, original and
picturesque Arrangement of the
stage during the Graduating
Exercises, and the succeeding
closing entertainments of Jeffer-
son High School, that perhaps
they would like to know that
the Seniors are indebted TO the
kindness of Mr. Sam Eberstadt
for the plans of decorating, and
that they executed them, aided
and supervised by him.

GIVES OPINION
ON REGISTRATION


District Attorney Callahan has
received a reply from Attorney
General Baker to the following
questions concerning registration
for the primary election:
First, can person, registered at
the last general election. again
register for the primary election
to be held September 3, 1912;
Second, can person registered at
the last general election. in pre-
cinct different from that in which
he now resides register for the
primary election to be held Sep
TENDER 8, 1912, in the precinct
wherein he now resides, or is he
required to have his name trans
ferred from the registration list in
the precinct wherein he resided in
1910. to the precinct wherein he
now resides?
In reply to the first question the
Acknowledgement gives a negative
answer. stating that in his opinion
1T was the intention of the legis-
lature that every elector should
register every two years and that
such registration vas TO be good
and valid for all subsequent elections
of every kind until the period for
re-registration occurs, the approach
of the event specified in he said
section, i. e., general election. ="
To the second query the Attorney
Generals reply is that, eff the
elector loses his right to vote in the
district from which he is register
ed, by reason of his removal there
from, the proper way for him to
regain his electoral privilege is to
obtain a certificate as provided in
section TIA, R. L., which certifi-
cate shall entitle him to have his
name registered in the same
manner as other names are regist-
cred, in any other election district,
either within the same county or
any other county, for said cleo
ton. "-Humboldt Star.

the WESTERN
PACIFIC ACCIDENT

The dead and injured in the
Western Pacific wreck were brought
to Elko last night. The remains
Of Fireman Bentley and Brakeman
Allen were taken to TIE morgue
and William Derricks. who was
beating his way to Salt Lake, was
sent over the Southern Pacific to
Reno. He has a wife and family in
Sparks, but was sent to Reno at his
request for treatment.
Fireman Bentley is badly bruised
about the face and Allen was sever
ly cut and bruised about the body.
When Engineer Potter saw that
he had lost control of the train,
he told Fireman Bentley to save
himself. but instead of jumping
from the engine he climbed to the
top of the first freight car and
began setting the brakes. When
the crash came he fell under one
of the cars and was pinned to the
ground. He was alive when the
wrecking crew reached the wreck
and lived until the car was lacked
up and he was taken out.
While the train was rushing to
destruction, it broke in two and
the rear cars left the track. The
engine and other cars went half q
mile or so farmer when the engine
left the track. Several cars we're
carried some distance beyond the
wrecked engine before going into
the ditch. Nearly all the wrecked
cars were smashed into kindling
wood. The track was ruined for
a long distance. The rails were
torn up and broken and the ties cut
and ground. The road where the
wreck occurred is through a deep
cut and very crooked a ID the grade
heavy.
Coroner Klatte summoned jury
this forenoon to inquire into the
cause of the death of the trainmen.
The jury viewed the bodies ard
the inquest was then continued
until Monday in order to get the
necessary witnesses.
