Mitchell. Dec. 1.-The punchboard
with all its popular features, is a
thing of the past in Mitchell. AL
though often disguised by features
intended to bring them within the
scope of the law, the punch board and
its near relatives are really gambling
devices, according to City Attorney
Lauritz Miller, who gave strict in
structions for the Punishment of the
offending articles. A multitude of
protests. many of them from the par
ents of children, who were accustom-
ed to take chances on the devices, oc-
casioned the official action. 1t was
claimed that during the past four
months. during which an epidemic Of
the punch boards has swept the city,
approximately $4,000 had been paid
by spectators at the game. A dozen
stores were affected by the decree of

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER

The Hawthorne Coroner Was call.
ed to Schurz last Monday to hold
an inquest on dead Indian woman.
There was no direct testimony as
to what had caused the woman,s
death. There were marks on her
throat showing that she had been
choked. These marks were evil
dently made by mans hand. as
the finger identifications were plain
ly visible. There was also a severe
bruise on the breast. The woman
is believed to have been killed at
Yerington on Saturday, March
2lst. and her body brought by In
dians to Schurz, although it was
impossible to get witnesses to testify
to that fact. She was seen alive in
Yerington on the morning of the
2lst, and bobbed up serenely at
Schurz on the 25th, very dead. The
whole affair is shrouded in mys-
terry, and it is up to Lyon county
to investigate the matter.

verdict that zone Indian woman
known as Maggie McLend came-to
her death on or about March 21st,

The coming of Spring is finely
expressed in "The Song of Hia-

guage quoted here:
: when l blow my breath about
me, when l breathe upon the land
scspe, singing, onward rush the
rivers. When I shake my flowing
ringlets, showers of rain fall warm
and welcome. plants lift up their
heads rejoicing, back unto their
lakes and marshes come the wild
goose and heron. homeward shoots
the arrowy swallow, sing the blue
bird and the robin, and where'er
my footsteps wander, all the mead
ows wave with blossoms, all the
woodlands ring with music, all the
trees are dark with foliage"

PROHIBITION IN THE NAVY

One Of the Tost sweeping and at
the same time most salutory orders
issued by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels is that barring alcoholic
liquors from every ship and shore
station of the navy, says the Re-
corder. This order was made
upon the recommendation of Sur
geon General Braisted, who de-
clares that as the prohibition of
liquor aboard ship to the enlisted
men has rendered alcoholism among
them negligible quantity. dis
ciplire and the good of the service
will be furthercd by extending the
prohibition to the officers.
The action Of the Secretary Of
the Navy in making this order is
perfectly logical. THE Navy"
TO quote Surgeon General Braistead
report, "is comparable in many
respects to great business organi-
zution, but no efficient cor, oration
in civil life would tolerate such a
condition of affairs" referring to
the wine mess" Of the officers,
which is abolished by the order.
The use Of Intoxicating liquors
is prohibited to the enlisted men of
the navy. those who perform the
actual work Of handling these lev
iathans OF the deep, and there is
no good reason why it should not
be forbidden to the officers who d.
crct their operation.

The LIQUOR QUESTION

The elections throughout the
middle west Tuesday should make
the liquor interests sit up and take
notice. in every state where the
question Of saloons or no saloons
was sub nitted to the people, there
was a steady gain Of dry territory.
Cities and towns that scoffed at the
temperance people few yeats ago
voted out the saloons.
That there is great temperar ce
wave sweeping over the country
is evident even to the most casual
observer. So far it has r-t reach
ed Nevada but it is only the mat
ter of fe u years before the voters
uf Nevada will be brought face to
face with the liquor question.
There is strong sentiment among
the people at this time against the
present liquor law of the state
that only needs crystallizing at the
polls to put the saloon out of busi-
ness.
Our Law makers seem to have
been blind to the conditions and
have permitted the laws governing
the liquor traffic to remain lax and
Ineffective. Under those laws, sa-
looms have grown in number until
they can be found in nearly every
nouk and corner of the state.
The license has been fixed at so
low a figure that person with very
small means can open a salnon and
force himself upon the community
This has resulted in a large in
crease in the number of saloons
without a corresponding increase
in state and county revenue.
If the saloon keepers Of Nevada
are wise TO the present state OF
public sentiment on the question
that so vitality affects them, they
should use their votes and influence
in the election of men to the next
legislature who will enact a more
stringent liquor law and one that
will prevent the abuses that have
grown up under the present law
Unless something is done along thi:
line at the next session Of the Il gis.
'ature, an agitation for a prohihi.
tion amendment to the state con-
stitution will be begun that will
eventually result in its aduptiun.
This is no wild prediction, but one
based upon an awakened rublic
sentiment.
