RELIABLE" NEWS
w I. McNeil.
Editor Independent.

The Free Press announced with a
flourest of trumpets a few days ago
that Dist Attorney C8rvi!le had
called up the Free Press and given
the inside dope about the murder
at Mountain City. 1t is said
that Billings had been shot after
he had fallen down. District At
torney Carville is too good a lawyer
and tUo conscientious an officer to
have made such a report, even if
it had been true. 1t is just as
much the duty of the District At
torney TO protect the innocent as it
is to prosecute the guilty, and the
Free Press desire to shine as a
good fellow" in the eyes of the
District Attorney made it commit
a grave error against the truth
and against one of our efficient
county officers. The facts are that
some of the shot struck a horse in
the shoulder some distance away.
If the Free Press's story had been
true the shot would have struck
the ground, long before it could
have reached the horse. Just such
utter disregard for facts is what
has put the Free Press in bad with
the business men Of Elko.

"EOITOR M'NEIL
GETS FUNNY"

TIE above caption was at the
head of an editorial in last Satur-
days Free Press. For once in he
history of our esteemed contempor-
airy its editor chose a live subject
for an editorial. Bro. Steninger
tried to be funny and he is still
laughing at his own wit. Needless
to say there are some people in
town who failed to see the joke.
The evolution from a painter to
an editor was more than our bro
ther quill driver could staLd and il
it unbalanced his mind people
should have compassion on him.
He is an object of pity rather than
one of criticism and we hope the
good people of Elko will not hold
it against the poor fellow.
The probabilities are that he was
normal ut birth but the smell of
white lead and paint in his Young
err days may have given him soften
ing of the brain; at least it ap-
pears to have affected the place
where his brains ought to he, to
such an extent that he has lost all
sense of humor; he is liable to
have a fit of laughter when he
should be saddened, while on the
other hand he is liable to break out
in loud ard b~oisterous laughter in
the face Of death and d]esolation.
Please excuse him, dear reader, he
can't help it. He has gone so far
that he thinks calling for a state
ment of receipts and expenditures
is a knock" and breaks out in a
long, loud peal Of laughter.
That silly grin nf the astute Edi-
tor of the Free. Press is like an open
window. IL shows the man in all
his weakness. The Merchants Of
Elko know his limitations and
knowing as they do, leave him
severity alone. If he would only
employ an editor who has some
"horse sense" there might be some
hope for him yet. If he really
thinks The Independent is not a
force to be reckoned with let
him keep up the pace he has set.
He started the music and he must
stop il il he wishes the music Ia
cease.
