JUDICIAL
ARRANGEMENTS
PROPOSED
How Ormsby Stands
on the Question

There are several new judicial bills
pending before the legislature, One
redistricts this section of Nevada. 1t
takes Lyon County from the First
Judicial District, leaving Storey,
Douglas and Ormsby with judge,
while Lyon and Churchill will have
a new district by its self.
In this case the members OF the
three counties have decided that
should Lyon county wish to withdraw
from the First District and create
new district, that there will be no
objection. but at the same time the
three counties named will insist that
the judge act for less salary. The
present salary is $4,000 per annum.
In case of this elimination the salary
will be set at $4,000 per annum, which
will leave the expenses to the three
counties about the same as at the
present time 1t is no sure thing
that Lyon wants the new district and
in such a case there would be no
change in salary or in the district as
described

ELECTR0CUT|ON
Of PRISONERS
IS SCHEME
Bill Reported Favor
ably on This Subject

A bill providing for electrocution
has been resented in the Assembly
which is aimed to administer death
to the condemned at the State PRISON
inln Nevada. The new law, it is stated
is advocated both by Judges and pris-
on officials, as it is believed it will
making the taking of murderous life
more easy than the present method
Of shooting or hanging, Hanging is
admitted as relic OF barbarity, while
shooting is little better. Where cleo
trocution has been introduced it is
poited out that there is less publicity,
less trouble amog those who have to
perform the work and death is instan-
taneous, the one point that is mostly
desired
With the state prison equipped with
appliances to carry out this provision
OF punishment, and with it being thor
oughly thested in other states, there
seems to be no reason why such a
law should not be enacted. 1t is esA
timated that $1,000 would provide the
appliance and make the execution
room of Nevada modern. The wip-
ing out of the gallows and the shoot
ing machinery would be move along
modernism.

ANOTHER
DERA|lMENT
OCCURS
Y. & T. Has Hot Time
With Heavy Train

The Y. & L. during the last ten days
has had an experience new to the
road and also one that is not relish
ed. \ few days past the largest en-
ginc on the road went off the track
at Lake View and it required a days
work to clear the track. Yesterday
another derailment occurred at the
Brunswick mill which placed that
end of the road out OF commission
for the day.
A special train comng from Mound
House loaded with gypsum was
ditched and it was an all day and ali
night work to get the heavy cars
back onto the track The special
train OF eight cars was rounding, the
curve a short distance this side OF the
Brunswick when one Of the big gon-
dola cars loaded with crude gypsuna
left the track. Three loaded box cars
followed and they were pretty wel'
piled up All being loaded with the
product from the gypsum mill it made
heavy work to right the tangle. 1t
was necessary to transfer loads and
then ii was no easy matter to handle
the heavy cars with the light equipi
ment.
The local train was following be
hind the special and this was held up
during the day. The passenger train
was run as far as the wreck and pas
sengers and mail transferred. he
fact that train was on each side o.
the wreck prevented much delay. II
required all the trainnen and section
crews on this end OF the line to clear
the track 1t was discovered that a
broken hange on one OF the heavy
cars caused the miXup. a number
of auto parties journeyed to the
scene Yesterday TO see thc damage
and witness the work OF righting
the heavy equipment
