money ne could get. And he caught a
freight train for Boston the next night
in company with another waiter who
wanted to go east.
Chicago did not see Charest for three
weeks. Then he returned and with his
appearance started the wave OF crime
that set the police agog with excite
ment and threw half the merchants in
to q frenzy of terror. Men were held
up In broad daylight, on busy streets
and robbed. Two jewelry stores were
robbed within as many weeks. by a
band of men. who smashed the glass
In the front windows and escaped with

MUST AVOID SALOONS

District Attorney Diskin has
taken up the question of keeping
boys out Of saloons and pool rooms,
billiard parlors and similar gather
ing places. He has served notices
on all saloon-keepers that the law
forbids the admission to their places
of anyone under at the age of q
wears or permitting such minors to
remain there. 1T misdemean-
err" he said today" to allow boys
to enter such places and the law
should be enforced to the letter,
because 1t is a bad thing for boys
to hang around in places where
they are likely to hear coarse and
suggestive language. The law is
violatedin Goldfeld every day Of

An EARLY EASTER

Easter Sunday for 1913 will
happen on March %. A writer in
the st. Louis st-Dispatch says:
Easter bonnets will blossom
earlier this year than they have
since 1856 and earlier than they
will burst into bloom for another
century. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March %.
but that hasn't happened since 1878.
This year it will be March %, the
same date on which it fell in 1856
and 1845. The Rev. Father S.
Martin Brennan, noted St. Louis
astronomer, told Post-Dispatch re-
porter that tables computed by
mathematicians have not been
carried far enough to show how
long it will be before Easter again
falls on SO ear ~ date, but it will
not occur again until sometime
after the year 1000.
The rule for fixing the date OF
Easter originally was that il was
the Sunday after the first full moon
following the spring equinox. The
equinox falls on March 81. Ac'
cording to a ruling of the council
at Nice if March 81, is Saturday
and there is full moon on that
day the following day will be
Easter. This year March 81 will
be Friday and there will he a full
moon Saturday.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by loral applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafn es
is caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachiian Tubes. When this
tube is inflamed you have runbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
6%hen 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
Mss Is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be forever
destroyed: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an intamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

done to consider the relief bill of
Tom Ramsey, where a claim is put
in for $500 which has been pend
ing since the Goldfield strike. The
same subject came up last session
but was side tracked until the last
day and was indefinitely postponed.
There was opposition to the bill

being allowed. It was finally re.
ported favorably.
The bill was contracted by Gov
ernor Sparks. 1t with a lot of
others went to the following session
and Ramsey in some manner Was
shut out. 1t came up again and
was shut out again and is here
again. It is now proposed to amend
the bill and endeavor to take the
funds rom the State Police fund,

depleted. This course is urged by
several members of both houses.
Little was done in the Senate as
the bills in the hands of different
committees are not yet in.

ing for the licensing of slot mach
ines fixing the amount at $500 per

THE PANAMA LECTURE

Friday night Rev. George H.
Greenfield delivered one Of the
most interesting lectures ever heard
in Elko. His subject was the Papa-
ma Canal and its importance to the
world in general and to.the United
States in particular. 1t is impos
sible for US TO give those who we're
rot present any adequate idea of,the
merits Of Mr.. Greenfield's lecture.
The lecture was illustrated with
slid es that gave those present an
idea of the tremendous work that
is being done on the isthmus to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by the great canal.
To say that those present enjoyed
every minute of the lecture is but
feebly expressing their sentiments.

THE BOUNTY LAW

DistrictAttornay Carville has sent
the following letter to the justices of
the peace Of this county.
Elko. Nevada, January 3lst.. 1913.
To the several Justices of the
Peace of Elko County, State of
Nevada.
Gentlemen Herein l desire to
call your particular attention to
the Act providing for the payment
for the of bounty for the destruc-
ton of certain noxious animals,
which you will find set forth in
Vol. of the Rev. Laws Sects. 7l8
to 727.
Section TIC prescribes that the
person claiming bounty must take
the "scalps with the ears connected
thereto" to some justice of the
peace of the county in which the
animals were killed. This certainly
does not mean that the ears be
detached from the scalps, tied in
pairs, and thus taken to the justice.
Section 72O provides for the oath
to be taken by the claimant; this
oath must be administered in every
case: if the claimant is unwilling
to swear that he has himself killed
the animals and that he has killed
them in your county, then you
should issue no certificate.
Section 72l requires the justice
to detach the ears from the scalps.
and to denver the scalps to the
Sheriff. Bounty is not payable on
the ears, but on the scalps: nor
should the ears be given back to
the claimants, but should be de-
stroyed by the justice, thus pre-
venting the claiming of bounty else
were on the. ears, as bounty is thus
payable in some other states.
1t mas come TO the knowledge OF
this Office that the requirements Of
this act have not been fully observ.
edin some instances. and that Elko
County has paid out large sums for
bounties that possibly were not
payable by this county.
l would suggest that you notify
all persons who have been deposit.
ing scalps with you, that hereafter
every requirement of this law will
be enforced by the justices and by
the county officials, and that this
Office will oppose the payment of
any bounty wherever it comes ia
my knowledge that the law has been
evaded in the slightest particular.
Your duties in the matter are
clearly and definitely prescribed and
outlined by the statute; you should
carefully observe every require
ment. and issue your certificate
only where the scalps are delivered
J to you in the condition required by
law, and only after the claimant
has made oath before you specify
ing that each and every scalp sur.
rendered was taken from an anima
by him personally killed in the
County of Elko. Your departure
from this law will constitute NAL
feasance in office. and will seriousl,
handicap the other officers of thu
county i'll their efforts to protect
the county funds from falling into
the nasIs Of those not entitled t.
the,same.
Very truly yours,
