whole shall first be raised to the
certain specifications provided for
Standard Roads. -
These specifications include grad
ing. draining, and macadamizing or
crawling. The board of County
Commissioners is authorized,
provided that the voter, approve of
the same by a majority vote, to
issue bonds in an amount equiva-
lent to three per cent of the total
taxable value of property in the
! County, for the creation of a fund
to be known as the County Road
and Bridge Fund. AS the taxable
valuation of property in Elko
County is approximately s18,OO0.-
600 this will create fund amount
ing to about $4,000. In Elko
County $4,000 worth Of these
bonds will be redeemed each year
and this amount in addition to the
accumulated interest on the
balance of the bon DIS will. at five
per cent interest at which the
bonds can readily be sold,
amount to $4,000 the first year
and each succeeding year of course
the amount will decrease. At six
per cent interest it would amount
to, SAT 400, which amount is $1,000
less than Elko County spent upon
her roads in 1911. Thus it will be
seen that no additional expense
will be incurred, yet a vast sum
will be placed at the dispositaion
of the Board for immediate use.
The present trouble with our
presnts system is that the money
expended is dribbled away: all he
roads must be kept in passable
condition, and repairs are generally
cheap and not of permanent
nature. Year after year the work
is done over and over again.
There is never enough money at
the disposal of the county COM
missioners to do any piece of work
of magnitude as it should be done
and repairs have not been made
with the idea of 'permanency. If
half the money expended in the
st thirty years had been applied
as provided under the provisions
of this bill we would have today
veritable boulevards throughout
the county, and the cost of main
tenance would be reduced to the
minimum. But on the contrary our
roads today are in much the same
condition as they were thirty years
ago.
1t is provided in the bill that
when any piece of work has been
laid out by the Board, and certain
plans and specifications have been
adopted, that Board shall advertise
for bids if the cost will exceed
$500.
Where the cost will be less
than $500, then the Board may let
the same without advertising for
bids or it may order the sa me

ton of the Surveyor. 1t is also
provided that all bridge or super
structures shall be constructed of
masonry, or cement and steel.

used exc pit when abolutely
necessary, for instance, the use of
plank for flooring for bridges.

SCOUT THE THEORY OF MURDER
ACCUSED MAN ENTERS
CLAIM FOR FREEDOM,

National bank of Washburn, shot
down and killed by mysterious bull
let on April IA, was not murdered.
He was the victim Of an accident. The
bullet, it is claimed, did not come
from the Anderson home, but from a
distance of at least quarter of q
mile, or possibly greater.
That is the theory on which the de-
tense will build It's fight for the free
dom of William T. Anderson, held by
the state to be responsible for the
death of Funk, as announced today by
Tracy Bangs of Grand Forks counsel
for the accused man.
No Motive Found.
Lack of motive on the part of An
derson for killing Funk will be- one
of the strong points in the defense.
officials of the bank have made state
'ments to the effect that their relations
II a business and social way were
pleasant.
The bullet that killed Funk was fr-
ed in broad daylight, it being about
O'Clock in the evening. The theory
that anyone had lain in wait for Funk
is challenged on that point.
Funk Could Have Seen Anderson.
The charge that the bullet was fred
from the home of w. T. Anderson
through window about IS OF 40 feet
from the place where Funk was stand
ing, is contended to be absurd be-
cause Anderson would have had to
stand in a position where Funk could
easily have seen him as he emerged
from his kitchen door to pick up his
little girl, who had stumbled and fall
en- to the ground. It was while he
was stooping down that Funk receiv-
Ell the fatal wound.
No Powder Marks in Room.
The window from which the shot
would have had to be fred was raised
only six inches from the bottom.
The muzzle of the gun would have
had to project outside of this window
to explain the absence Of any powder
marks in the room.
In support Of the claim that the
bullet came from much greater dis.
lance than the Anderson home it is
claimed that the 80 calibre special bull
let which caused Funk's death is, a
high powered continuance that fred
at forty feet would not have stopped
in its course merely by passing
through a mans body. The bullet
which killed Funk was found lying
near his body.
Anderson in His Basement.
One point cited against Anderson is
that he failed to appear on the scene
of the killing till after a big crowd
was gathered. Anderson own state
ment, as it will he made on the wit
ness stand if the case comes to trial,
will be that he was in the basement
Of his home. He went from the base
ment to his garage, and it was while
! there that his attention was attracted
to the Funk home by the gathering of
of a crowd. He went Immediately to
the scene.
Held without Bail.

ing held without bail on the charge of
