SAYS DIVORCE FIGHT

The fight on the first appearance

Unexpectedly sprung in the assembly

inion of a legislator who came up to
Reno Monday night and returned to
Carson City Tuesday morning. says
the Gazette.
Making due allowance for the fact
that the proponents of the divorce
measure sprung a double surprise,
one man bringing forth a notice of
the bill and another nan swinging
right in with the bill itself, the re-
turned legislator. who personally ia

fact that one man had given notice
of a bill made no difference with the
bin introduced by another man
shortly after. and the objection TO
the second bill on the ground that
notice of the bill had already been
given by another man, was in fact no
objection at all. In the second place
to move that consideration of the
bill be indefinitely postponed before
it has been read for the second time
is altogether out of order and should
have been ruled out of order by the
chair. Until the bill was on second
reading, there was nothing before
the house to consider and the mo-
tion was not well taken.
In my Judgment it was very un-
wise to have precipitated a fight on
the bill at this time, and to have
given opportunity for a vote which
might be construed as a test vote. 1t
would have been better to have let
the bill take its natural course to the
committee and to have quietly a
shaled forces for the fight when ii
should be reported out for second
reading"
Speaking of the division of
strength on the divorce question, the
legislator referred to seemed doubt
full. In both senate and house he
thought it quite evenly divided, but

ROCHESTER, HAS COMPETITION.

That Rochester is not the only
camp in the west which is booming
at this time Is shown by the excite
ment which is being raised about
Masonic. A big strike has been made
in the Serita mine in the district, and
as il is a virgin section it is hoped
and expected that a large mineral
zone will be opened up. The Serita
property is under bond to the Stall
Brothers of National and during the
past few months superintendent
William NJ. Fuller has had a number
of men at work sinking a shaft and
cutting. The report sent out
from Masonic is to the effect that one
of the cross cuts has tapped a Is
foot ledge of free milling ore which
goes from $50 to 500 per ton.
The news of the strike was kept
quiet and the miners of this district
tried to locate a large acreage of
land in the vicinity but the news
leaked out, as all such fine news does
and ii is now stated that the entire
section of country between the
town of Masonic and the Walker
river has been located.-Carson

CHILDREN SUFFER; MOTHER
HELPLESS FROM INTONICATION.

One of the most pitiful cases to be
reported to the police department Of
Tonopah for many months, occurred
recently when the officers were call
ed in to take action for the care of
four little children, the eldest not
seven years old, and the youngest
about Is months of age, says the
Bonanza. The mother of the child
rem was helpless from liquor and had
been in that condition for over a
week.
Chief Evans and Sergeant June
Peck hustled the mother to the coun-
ty Jail while the children were taken
to the county hospital. The little
ones were in rags and were filthy
with dirt. Miss Bradshaw. who has
charge of the county institution, gave
the wards a bath and attired them
in new clothing. The clothing was
contributed by people of this camp
whose attention had been directed to
the case.
The following day, the mother
thoroughly sobered, was released
from confinement, and and the child
rem were returned to her care. The
husband and father was formerly
employed at the Belmont, but resign
ed his position about a week ago and
is now at Millers. Before departing
he informed Chief Evans of the habit
of his wife in becoming intoxicated
and declared that it was impossible
for him to live with her unless she
would cease drinking. He stated
that he was able to provide for the
family and would do so, but not I'M
less the mother would stop drinking.
The police we're asked to watch the
woman. and it was in response to
this request that the officers discoy-
cred the condition of the family.
1t is believed that the husband will
return, now that conditions have
been remedied.

WIFE DIES AT CARSON CITY.

mise of Mrs. Harrington was con-
veyed to the legislature and Doth
houses after adopting resolutions oil

DR.. b. f. Cunningham attributed
the death to a septic blood eliot in the
brain producing a condition similar
to that in meningitis. He stated
that there was no certainty as to the
origin being due to vaccination as
the condition might occur where
there was no vaccination.
Mrs. Harrington was yaccinated a
week ago and the typical reaction
followed. Her condition did not be-
come alarming, however, until "a
hours before her death when she
lapsed into Inconsistencies.
Mrs. Harrington was formerly a
Virginia City girl and had a wide
circle of friends. Besides her hus-
band she is survived by two small
children.

SOCIALIST DAVIS IN BAD

The Socialists of the legislature
have disowned Davis of Humboldt as
he did not vote with them on the
equal suffrage question and did not
vote for their senatorial candidate.
The two dyed-in- the-wool Socialists,
Davis of Nye and Seaman of Nye,
claim they are working for the prin-
ciples of the party and are carrying
out the wishes of the Socialist exc
cutive committee, so We may expect
Socialist politics to be done at all
times-Carson City News.
