A Dirty Business.

Wong Kee, proprietor of the Arrow
head restaurant, and Max Raymond
Villaloba, an employee of the same,
were arrested Monday, charged with
giving liquors to minors. The China
man pied guilty and paid fine. The
Mexican was found guilty and got
ninety days.
The testimony showed that the
Chinaman enticed the sixteen-year- old
Indian girl named Lily French and two
little boys who were with her INTO a
cellar under the rear of the restaurant
and got them drunk, presumably with
the intention of debauching the girl.
The crime is one in which Uncle Sam
will doubtless take an interest as soon
as the matter is brought to his atten-
tiOn.

house numbering was given it's first
reading.
The ordinance requiring all fences

the Honorable Mayor.
The ordinance regulating dealers in

in all proper steps he may take to rem

tions now prevalent. Along this line
the city attorney was directed to pre-
pare an ordinance designed to separate
the houses of prostitution from the
saloons and to keep women out of the
saloons, thereby closing up the wine
rooms and other similar places which
have come to be menace to the young
girls of the community.
Referring to the fact that drunken
brawls are allowed and encouraged In
some of the saloons, such conditions re-

New Law Firm.

Prof. A. S. Henderson, who was re-
Gently reelected principal of the Vegas
schools, has resigned that position and
entered into partnership with
Judge w. r. Thomas in the practice
of law in this city. The new firm will
be Henderson & Thomas.
Mr.. Henderson is not a stranger to
the law business. After graduating at
the Eureka high school in 1897 and
spending two years at the state uni
versity he took up the study of law.
So successful was he in this that he
was elected district attorney of Eureka
County in 1906 and again in 1908. AT
ter several years teaching school he
came to Vegas in 1910 and has since
been doing successful work as principal
of the grammar schools.
Judge Thomas is so we'll known that
little need be said as to his qualifica-
tions. Suffice it to say that the new
firm is a strong one and will doubtless
continue the successful and growing
practice already established.

DANGEROUS FIRE
FRIDAY, The 4th
The CurtiSS- Wilson Grocery Co.
Suffered a Severe Loss
Yesterday Afternoon.

At 2:30 the afternoon of Friday, the
Fourth, an alarm of fire brought the
few citizens remaining in the business
portion of town to the rear of the
Curtiss- Wilson grocery store, from
whence smoke was seen issuing. The
hose was quickly made ready for action
and the door broken in. The interior
of the store was filled with a fierce
heat and a sitting smoke. After a
fierce fight of fifteen minutes working
against odds, the fire was brought un-
der control, but not until three streams
of water were in use.
The fire was confined to the middle
of the store on the west side, but
smoke and water worked havoc with
nearly everything in the stock
The loss will be entirely covered by
the insurance of $4,000, of which $2,-
800 is in the Fire Association of Phila-
delphia and 81, 600 in the Caledonia.
The building is owned by A. Levy
and was damaged about 5000. fully
covered by insurance.

Wednesday afternoon, as well as the
fact that gambling is carried IN some
of the saloons without regard for the
anti-gambling law, the board decided
ming the summary revocation of IL
censes. The clerk was therefore or
dered to mail copy of Odinance 80 to
each retail liquor dealer, calling es-
pecial attention to Sections Is and 16,
with the information that the board
will hereafter strictly enforce the
same Said sections read:
"Sec. Is. Whenever it appears or
has been shown to the satisfaction of
the Board of City Commissioners that
any licensee under the provisions of
this Ordinance, or any of his servants
or employees has been in an intoxicated
condition while in or about the prem
ises or business for or in connection
with which a liquor license has been is
sued, or has served or sold liquor to
any minor or to any intoxicated per-
son, or that any game or other trans
action in violation of any state law or
city ordinance, or any gambling of any
kind has been conducted, carried on CT
suffered or allowed to be conducted, or
has existed or been done in or about
such premises, or that any such Ii
censee, or any of his servants or en-
ployees, has committed or permitted
any breach of the peace or any disor-
derly conduct at or about said prem
ises, or that any such licensee has vio-
lated or failed to keep any of the
terms of this Ordinance, or that any
holder of liquor license has sold, fur
nished, served or given away intoxicat-
ing liquors in manner or time other
than is allowed by such license held by
him, then such license shall by resolu-
tion of said Board be declared forfeited
and cancelled, and the permit therefor
be rescinded and revoked, and there
upon and thenceforth it shall be unlaw-
ful for such person or former licensee
to sell, furnish, serve or give away any
of the liquors whatsoever in this Or
dinance mentioned in this City.
"Sec. 16. Wherever under the terms
of this Ordinance the Board of City
Commissioners are invested with the
power to punish violations thereof, or
to revoke permits because of such vio-
lations, said Board, should it deem re-
vocation of the permit as punishment
for the case in hand too severe, shall
have the authority to impose the pun
shment of suspending the offenders
right to carry on the kind of liquor es-
tablishment specified in his permit for
a period of not exceeding sixty 900
days"

BARKEEPER KILLS
UNARMED MAN
''Fat' Fay Shoots James Brad
ley to Death in Las Vegas
Bar Wednesday.

Tuesday evening young fellow
named James Bradley, but commonly
known as Jimmie, rather prepos-
sessing in appearance, came in on the
Las Vegas and Tonopah train. After
spending a night in drinking at vari-
Gus resorts in this city, he was shot to
death in the barrOom of the Las Vegas
Hotel at $3.50 Wednesday morning by
T. c. Fay, the night barkeeper, who is
commonly known as Fat Fay.
At the coroner's inquest Wednesday
forenoon Fay made statement de-
signed to show that he killed Bradley
in self defense. Fay and Bradley were
exchanging drunken compliments dur
ing the greater portion of the night
and Bradley was so drunk that he was
probably in a measure irresponsible.
AS he was entirely unarmed it is hard
to Justify the killing. 1t is well to re-
member, however, that Bradley bore
an unenviable reputation and in that
respect differed little from the man
who did the killing.
At the inquest the following points
were brought out:
f. E. Black testified that he did not
know if the gate leading behind the
bar was closed.
DIR. H. L. Hewe son testified as to
the death of Bradley.
Dan NJ artin, the porter, although
around the saloon from one O'Clock on,
did not know of any trouble and only
learned of the killing when he came in
and saw the dead body.
T. C. Fay admitted the killing. Some
material points of his testimony follow:
about nine O'Clock deceased came
into the saloon and shook hands, say
ing when | offered my hand that | was
a nervy s. of b. after causing
him to get a foater out Of town.
served him with drink and said no
more. He returned three or four
times, getting drunken each time. He
bummed me for several drinks during
the night in this way, by ordering the
drinks and -then-WaIking away from
the bar without paying. | said nothing
because | was satisfied he was doing it
