The cartoon reproduced herewith
is the work of Miss Margeret Tim
son, of Terrell, a 16-year old miss
who has an unusual tendency tow
ards art. The inspiration for this
sketch was furnished recently when
Miss Timson made trip over the
Fallon-Terrell route with Geo. p.
Wigle, the stage man, who makes
distance regularly winter and sum-
mer, braving heat and cold, dust
and mud with Spartan fortitude.
Miss Timson, along with all other
Terrellites, is loyal to Fallon, but
takes umbrage at the condition of
the road connecting the camp of
Terrell with Fallon.
In this connection a movement is
now on foot to give Terrell and Fall
Ion better connecting link. The
cost will not be great, but the coun-
ty authorities have been up against

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
Two Criminal Matters Disposed of in
the District Court, Knifeman Re-
ceiving Sentence in Pen.

A jury in the district court held
last week that Doctor Bob, the an
cient Piute character, was not guilty
of the crime of rape as charged In
the complaint filed against him.
francesca Martinez, charged by
District Attoren T. G. Hart with the
crime of assault with intent to kill,
committed upon the person of An
tonic Juarado, did not fare so we'll.
He was found guilty by jury and
was sentenced by Judge French Mon
day morning to serve from three
and one-half years to five years in
the state prison at Carson. The
case was particularly hard fought
one, District Attorney T. c. Hart
matching legal vocables with At
torney E. E. Winters. Three days
of the courts time was taken up the
case.

CITYS NEW ELECTRICAL RATE
Rates Soon to be i'm Vogue in This
Place VIII be Among the Low
est in the State.

The reductions ordered by the
city council in the electric lighting
and power rates for Fallon, effective
January 1st, 1914 will give the town
everything figured, and as those are
aware who are patrons of the mu-
nieipal system, the service could not
be better. Under the new arrange
ment, the average householder will
be chiefly interested in the fact that
ha will be able to use 10 kilowatts
within the month for a minimum
charge of 81, or 10 cents per kilo-
watt. while for each additional kilo-
watt for the household over Is and
ND 10 100 will cost but 7 cents. Be
yond this the price drops to So
cents, which figure certainly should
lend encouragement TO the residents
here TO install electric heating appli-
ances. Without a doubt, the mu-
nleipal electric system will be fac
tor eventually in the househeating
business In Fallon and there is no
reason why ii should not in time,
run coal a merry race for first place
in public esteem.
The rates about to become effec-
tive, will make the cost for lighting
In Fallon equal to the average cost
over the entire country, and less
than the cost in all other towns in
Nevada except Reno, Carson City,
Virginia, Dayton and Yerington,
where the lighting rate Is lower for
certain amounts and higher for 9TH
ers
Initial rates in other towns OF
this state as given By the public
service commission report are as
follows:
Las Vegas, 90 cents per kilowatt
hour: Elko. ~ 1-2 cents per kilo-
watt hour, minimum $3.50 per mo-,
Is kilowatts allowed; Ely, 20 cents
per kilowatt, Loyelock, 8 cents per
minimum s2.00; Mason.
10 cents per kilowatt, minimum
s25o.
Aurora. Lucky Boy. Fairview and
Wonder. 90 cents per kilowatt mr.,
81.
Reno, Carson City, Virginia City.
Yerington and Dayton. cents per
hr for the first $50 used
and six cents for the next 100 kilo-
watts used.
Goldheld. Tonopah, Ryolite. Pio-
neer. Bonnie Clair, Blair, Silver
Peak. Millers. Manhattan and Round

WILL THERE BE AN EXTRA SES-
SION?

There are rumors that there will
be an extra session of the legislature
early in January next, but there
seems to be but one matter that
would require such a session and
that is the amendment or correction
of the judiciary act AT the last
session a bill was passed redistrict-
ing several of the judicial districts
and since the adjournment of the
legislature it has been discovered
that the enrolling clerks left out but
one line in the bill which makes the
bill provide for two district judges
for every judicial district except the
second, which is Washoe county, and
in that district makes provision for
only one judge. AS the bill really
passed it provided for only one
Judge in each judicial district ex-
cept Washoe county and in that
county two were provided for. 1t is
undoubtedly true that two judges
may be elected in every district out
side of the second and no power can
prevent their being sworn in under
the law as it now stands.-Carson
Appeal.
