ROCHESTER
VICTIM
IS DEAD
First killing Recorded
in Camp

Ben Swago, formerly of Virginia
City, where he was proprietor Of the
Bon Ton Cafe. who was shot at Ro-
chester Monday, died at that place
and his slayer, Bert Scott, is beins
held to the Grand Jury at Winncmuc-
ca. For a time following the shoot
ing it was believed that Swago had a
chance for recovery, but it developed
that the bullet hal entered the intes-
tines and that the internal honor
rhage could not be stopped.
The deceased met his death at the
hands of Scott following an alterca-
ton on the main street OF Rochester,
and is said to have arisen over the
question OF SCOTS fitness as a bar
tender for the firm of Mitchell, Fouts
and Swago 1t is alleged that Swago
had given Scott his release, but the
men became involved in argument and
went On the street to settle 1t. Two
shots were fired but the exact details
are still in doubt
Scott waived the preliminary hear,
ing before judge Staunton and was
held to the Grand jury at Winnemuc-
ca, under preliminary bond of $1,000
Since the death of his victim it is be.
lieved that the bond will be raised, ii
not entirely denied.

A Lively Argument
On Adjustment Scheme

bers and the bill was raised from the
table and placed at the bottom OF the
file. This means another scrap over
the situation.
There is no question but that the
retention of the Commission is an as
set TO the State With the surround
ing states advertising every resource,
and with pleas being made to immi-
grafton by the Northwest, without
such a commission Nevada has no
publicity and no literature TO spread
before the travelling or migrating
public
With the close vote that was shown
in the Assembly it is most likely that
by the Governors veto this commits
sion can remain on the statute should
it be eliminated by small margin IN
the Assembly The fact that the
Democrats are divided on the issue
prevents a unit vote as would occur
in some other cases. 1t Is DANGEROUS
ground and such that makes a feeling
of unrest among the Democratic ma
jority.

Yesterday afternoon in he Assem-
bly the bill that passed the Senate to
abolish the office OF Publicity Com
came up. There was a
general feeling that the bill would
pass and that the Office would be
among the dead ones. The result
was that Mr.. Charles Norcross, the
Commis ssioner in question, came be-
lore the House and made very able
address on the subject. He pointed
ont where he had done considerable
amount OF good for the State and
where at the present moment ne -
in a position to do a lot more good TO
the state and the people.
Others were of the opinion that the
office was useless and that the time
was not ripe Tor such an Office. When
il came TO the final argument 1t was
moved to place the bill on the table.
To the surprise OF the people present
and some who advocated its abolish
ment, the bill was laid on the table,
which saved the question Tor the day
