SHERIFF HARRIS IN TROUBLE

The Office of Sheriff in Nevada
is no sinecure The sheriff of Elko
county does more hard work and
suffers more hardships and forgoes
more luxuries, perhaps. than any
other mar in the public life of the
country. Last Tuesday morning
Sheriff Harris took q trip to
Spruce Mountain on Off cial bust
ness. Ninety miles is a long ride
across mountains and valleys, hills
and deserts and the Sheriff being
a sociable fellow wanted congenial
company. So he invited Micky Fitz-
maurice to enjoy a pleasant ride
up where the air is pure and the
altitude registered up to 5000 feet.
While crossing Ruby Valley in
stead Of taking the right trail they
followed Two wood roads to the
end. Not being versed in wood
craft and having left their wings
behind they could neither climb the
mountain nor fly over and were
compelled in both instances TO re-
trace their steps back to .he valley.
After loosing all this time they
once more struck the right road
and started to burn" the road to
Spruce. When they were twenty
five miles from Spruce Mountain
the machine broke down and their
real trouble began. They spent
several hours in a vain attempt TO
repair the damage and in a tower
ing rage over their unfortunate
p~redicament started to walk the 25
miles to their destination. Dark
ness soon came on and in the still
ness Of the night, no noise save
the coyotes dismal howl and the
tramp Of their feet could be heard.
They had no water and there was
none to be had and Micky was in
sore distress for a "drink."
About eleven o'clock that night
they foundercd into the camp at
Spruce Mountain, their shoes worn
through, eve holes in their socks
and nothing to protect the solcs Of
their feet frcm the rugged rocks
over which they we're compelled
TO walk. To their intense dismay
the camp had beer abandoned.
However they found the spring
and drank copious draughts of
pure spring water. Micky com,
planned that he didn't want water.
he wanted a drink" The sheriff
had left his caHtecn at home and
Micky's wants were not supplied.
The next morning they walked 3
miles up the mountain to Charley
JOhnsOn's camp where Mrs Johnson
provided them with a good break
fast. They borrowed a horse and
buggy and drove ?5 miles into
Glover Valley to Horace Ages
Here their troubles we're happily
over. Mr. Ages took them in his
auto to Wells where they lost no
time in taking the train to Elko.
Today Sheriff Harris's auto is so
miles out in the desert while the
owner is nursing his sore spots
and bathing his limbs in arnica
while his late companion in misery
is trying to forget his troubles and
drown his sorrows in the bowl that
cheers but does not inehriate.
Micky says never again" will he
ride with the Sheriff unless he has
the papers to back up the invita-
ton.

Nelson has opened war against fac

GUS machines in violation of the lii
nois law
Section II. of the act relating to
the employment of children specific
ally states that, mo child under the
age of sixteen years shall be employ
ed at sewing belts or to assist in sew
ing belts, in any capacity whatever;
nor shall any child adjust any belt to
any machinery; they shall hot oil or
assist in oiling, wiping or cleaning
machinery; they shall not operate or
assist in operating circular band
saws, wood-shapers, wood jointers,
planers, stamping machines in sheet
metal and tinware manufacturing,
nor shall they be employed in oper-
ating any passenger elevators, nor
any other employment that may be
considered dangerous to their lives
and limbs or where their health may
be injured"
The law also names several occu-
pations as forbidden to children. The
enforcement of the law is left entirely
to the discretion Of the state factory
inspector, but Mr.. Nelson's predeces-
sors in Office didn't seem to have ex-
ercised their discretion very much.
In the last two weeks, since Inspec-
tor Nelson began to enforce the law,
he has found several fragrant viola

work only intended for grownups.!
In several factories, particularly on
the West Side, Mr.. Nelson discovered
little girls, fourteen and fifteen years
old, frail of body, struggling to oper-

ventilated factories.
Most of the violations, however,
were found in the wholesale tailoring

Startling conditions were found in

Nelson is determined that none of
the tailor bosses shall be allowed to
