LEGISLATURE IS AFTER FRANK WILDES' GOAT
WOULD INVESTIGATE SALARY PAID RECEIVER
(By HANS DURFEL)
Special Correspondence

CARSON, New, Jan 23-The goat
Of Frank l.. Wildes, received of the
State Bank and Trust company, is
now being sought by the members
of the legislature. The first attempt
to secure the angora of the high
priced bank receiver was made today
when Senator Heffernan introduced
resolution in the upper house ask
ing for the appointment of a commit
tee consisting Of three senators and
two assemblymen to investigate the
affairs of the defunct bank and de-
termine if the salary Of $4,000 per
annum as allowed Wildes, is exorbi-
tant The committee win be request
ed to name a reasonable salary for
the services required, Heffernan's
resolution was referred to the com
mittee on banks and banking.
To what extent the committee will
proceed, providing the resolution
passes, and no great opposition to
J the measure has yet developed, can
not be foretold Legislators from the
\ southern end of the state are in favor
of an investigation of the banks af-
fairs, for it will be remembered that
the people of Tonopah and Goldfield
we're hard hit when the bank failed
A complete investigation of the ac
counts of the receiver is demanded
by the southerners who are anxious
to go to any length to force Wildes
to make a complete accounting of
his stewardship.
Considerable activity was noticed
in the assembly during the day when
the members started introducing bills.
Davis of Nye county carried off the
honors when he presented three
measures which were referred to
the proper committees. One of the
proposed laws prevents the assign

interested persons A second meas
ure prohibits the granting of injunc-
tions during strike trouble on ex-
parte motions and provides for a
jury trial in all cases of violation
of the injunction. The third bill con

. for the examination of all children
for defective hearing, eyesight and
teeth and as to whether they breathe
> through the mouth or otherwise.
