FIELD DEPOT YESTERDAY

Because he was about to take their
little boy away from Goldfield back
to his home in Los Angeles, Herbert
Nash was shot at noon yesterday by
his wife, standing at the steps of the
coach at the Columbia station. She
left her husband five months ago,
taking the boy without word as to
where she was going.
Nash was at once removed to the
county hospital, where it was found
that the bullet from a small auto
matte revolver had passed through
his neck causing wound that would
probably not result fatally. The wife,
known in Goldfield and Blair by her
maiden name of Drew. was taken to
the courthouse and kept in custody
in the district attorneys office.

ADVcEs DECLARE THAT MEAS.
URE WILL BE REPEATED TO
HOUSE THURSDAY

In accordance with reports receiv-
ed from Carson late last night, Nye
county will secure, through annexa-
tion, that parcel Of land in this min
ing district. but which is included
in Esmeralda county by the ex-
change of a parcel in the Diamond
field district Charles l.. Slayin
deputy assessor, received a dispatch
from Sheriff Malley stating that
the original bill calling for the con
ceding to Nye county of the land in
question, had been amended SO as to
give Esmeralda county the Dia
mondfield land in exchange.
The bill, after being amended, was
referred to the committee on county
boundaries with instructions to re-
port Thursday From the manner
in which the telegram read it is
evident that the negotiations as orig
inally started by Nye county will
be carried out successfully without
change. The land that is desired
from Esmeralda county is wholly
within the Tonopah mining district,
and has long been afforded police
and fire protection by the Nye tax
payers. At first it was agreed to
concede to Esmeralda county the
Diamondfield township, but the Gold
| field residents objected to the ex-
change. After the assembly meas
ure appeared certain of passage the
Goldfield lobbyists were content to
insert the amendment concerning
the Diamondfield land. for it was
almost assured that they would re-
ceiye nothing in exchange and were
powerless to defeat the passage OF
the original bill

the treasurer's and state controllers
office.
Mighels denied the statement at
tributed to him and war of words
followed. He claimed that thor
ough examination had not been made
and that he knew more about the
matter than any of the others and
should have been consulted. Mighels
further stated that Wildes was not
as much to blame as was Judge
Langan.
1T is Langan who should be held
responsible exclaimed Mighels
The committee report was sent to
the judiciary committee with the
recommendation that the matter
be taken up with the attorney gen
eral with regard to Wildes drawing
the two salaries for two years. The
committee closed the report with the
following:
your committee recommends that
this report be submitted to the ju-
dietary committee with the instruc-
tions that he matter be taken up
with the attorney general in order
that the legal status be determined.
and your committee stands ready and
willing to furnish the necessary evil
dence to substantiate all of the mat
ters set forth in this report"
The sensation Of Kelllhers report
spread throughout the state capitol
in an instant 1t is the main topic
of conversation here and there is
talk of the impeachment of Judge
Langan II is believed that the iu-
dietary committee will tender a re-
port advocating the Impeachment
or recall of Langan as soon as the
legal status of the case is determin-
ed
The statement by Mighels that he
knew more about the case than the
others has not been received with
good grace 1t is pointed out that
had Mighels knowledge of any af-
fairs of the receivership it would
have been his duty to communicate
this information to the committee
of which he was member, The
action of Kelliher in conducting the
investigation without the aid of Nigh

CARSON, March l1.--That Frank
L. Wildes, receiver of the State Bank
and Trust company had drawn his
salary as assistant state treasurer
for 16 months after being appointed
bank receiver, was the startling
charge made in the assembly today
! by Assemblyman E. A. Kelliher of
/ Nye county, a member of the commit.
tee appointed to investigate the re-
ceivership tangle. A sensation re-
suited from the charges made by
Kelliher and there is every indication
that Attorney General Thatcher will
take action in the matter.
The bank investigating committee
submitted its report this morning
and the document was referred to
the judiciary committee for action.
During heated discussion that fol-
lowed Kelliher's announcements the
| Nye county representative declared
in open session:
I'VE will put the stripes on this
man Wildes."
The report shows that Wildes
filed petition on December 2, 1912.
for a court order for salary The
petition alleged that the duties Of
the receiyership have ever since
May IS, 1908, occupied his entire
time.
Judge Langan of the Carson dis
triet court in his findings fixing
the salary of Wildes, also states that
the receivers entire time has been
taken up with the bank affairs"
That the receivers entire time was
not taken up with the bank affairs,
was contended by Kelliher, who pro-
duced the warrants upon the state
treasury showing that Wildes had
drawn a salary from the state as as
sistant state treasurer at $166 per
month for 10 months after his ap-
pointment to the office Of receiver
between May Is. 1908, and Noyem
, ber 80, 1903 The total sum received
by Wildes from the state is given
as $S166.
Four months after he was appoint
ed Receiver Wildes drew the state
salary under his own signature. The
balance was assigned to d. NJ. Ryan
then state treasurer Kelliher pre-
sented the original assignment to th'
legislature, 1t was written on a lei
