AN UNUSUAL CASE IN COURT
E. T. Roach Is Chased Across
Desert By Ben and
Frank Hicks.

The local Justices court was oc-
cupied Monday afternoon hearing
testimony in the case of the state vs..
Ben and Frank Hicks, wherein e. 7.
Roach is the complaining witness.
The evidence adduced at the hearing
was of the sort depicted by the wild
and woody movies, wherein western
life is portrayed much to the de-
ligh of the effete centers. And as
realistic as the movies are made to
appear in their rapid flight across
the screen, they are peculiar to the
penny arcades. while real dyed-in-
tGe-wool western stunts still ren1a;i:
for such settings as was graphically
described at Monday afternoons
hearing by the witnesses for the pro-
secution.
This tended to prove that the COM
planning witness, who had previously
had differences with the defendants,
was chased across the desert by the
defendants, all on horseback, and
that as they ran the lariat hondus of
the defendants were used without
cessation in belaboring the back and
head of the complaining witness,
who was finally made to climb down
from his morse to his nands and
knees and plead for mercy.
District Attorney T. C. Hart intro
duced expert testimony to prove that
hondu, used as weapon can right
ly be classed as deadly.
The defendants did not take the
witness stand to offer testimony, and
accordingly their side of the affair
will not be related until the
grand jury makes its investigation
into the matter. They were held
under bonds of 5000 to appear be-
fore this body, which were promptly
furnished.
This affair occurred Monday of
last week near Rock Springs. Both
the complaining witness and the de-
fedants often ride IN the Rock
Springs district for cattle, the form
er for his uncle, Assemblyman W. C.
Grimes while the defendants have
been stationed at Rock Springs by
the Wightman brothers, whose stock
interests have been looked after by
the Hicks brothers.

years ago | strongly advocated the
policy of preparing and cultivating
the land prior to entry. My recon-
mendation did not meet with very
widespread favor at the time; it was
considered as tending too much to-
ward paternalism. l noticed, how
ever, at the recent Denver confer
enee the great majority of the men
present favored some such policy.
Mr.. Elwood Mead, representing the
Australian irrigation interests, spoke
in the strongest possible terms in
favor of some such policy and illus
trated what they are doing in Aus
tralia.
He explained that not only are
they preparing the land for crop,
but the government is actually
planting to crop. building houses,
fencing the land and advancing
money for farm improvements. Mr..
Mead stated that the Australian
Government has made matters so
easy for the settler that raw i'm
migrant can come into the country,
take up government irrigated land,
and be on self-supporting basis in
side of three months from the date
of landing in the country. You
know as we'll as | do that we cannot
do anything of this kind within
three years; my belief is that we
will not have the land properly set
tied inside of 13 or even 20 years,
for the simple reason that we i'm
pose burdens on the settlers much
more arduous than were the burdens
of the early pioneers of the country.
This is an unmistakable fact and
should be faced.
| am glad to see your local body
is making a move in the right direc-
tion and hope the memorial 1t has
prepared, together with other num-
erous other memorials that have
been sent to the Secretary of the In
terror and to members of Congress
from different parts of the country,
will In due time have their effect in
necessary legislation.
You are welcome to use this letter
for any purpose you may see fit
Yours very sincerely,

ISLAND RESIDENTS ORGANIZE

Island district ranchers met at
the chapel Saturday evening and
organized cooperative and market
ing association. Forty-five answered
the call. DR.. T r. Richardson was
elected temporary chairman and
Wilber Merit. temporary secretary.
A committee was appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws.
Most important of the other busi-
ness transacted was the adopting of
a resolution calling on the county
commissioners to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the shipment of uninocu-
lated hogs into this valley. The
view is taken that the growing i'm
portanee of the dairying industry in
this section makes 1t imperative
that the hog, an important adjunct
of the dairy, shall be fully potected
hereabouts.

TO HAVE TOWN CLEANUP DAY
Ladies of Local Social Club Pro-
pose to Inaugurate Movement
For Local Betterment.

At its meeting held at Mrs. G.. M.
Gardner's home Saturday afternoon
the Draper club membership decid-
ed upon campaign that will be of
considerable Importance in a civic
sense, which we trust will meet with
a hearty response from all loyal
Fallon residents. Those constitut-
ing the Draper club are anxious that
1t should be the auspices under
which Fallon should have a Cleanup
Day and also by which watering
trough may be installed in Fallon.
Cleanup Days have been inaugurat-
ed elsewhere under the guidance of
women's auxiliary organizations and
great success has uniformly attend
ed Efforts thus directed. 1t seems
that it takes women to cleanse con-
ditions, both in and out of the home,
and both these projects being laud-
able should be heartily encouraged.
1t is plainly the duty of every local
business man and property owner to
accede to the women's program for a
rousing town cleanup here and as
sist in whatever way they can. Less
dirt and filth means less disease,
which In turn means greater COM
munity efficiency and probably lives
saved.

Incompetents Better Keep Out.

The act passed by the last legis-
lature for the purpose of muzzling
the press is such a fragrant violation
of the constitutional rights of news
papers that no self-respecting jour
nal will pay the slightest attention
to its provisions. 1t was framed to
protect crooks and incompetents
from public criticism when thew ran
for Office. II there are persons who
expected to be benefited by this bill
they are considerably out of their
reckoning, for 1t Is more than likely
that in this campaign, the press of
Nevada will take an extra fall or two
out of that class of cattle. Any
man whose record cannot stand q
close inspection had better keep out
of the political arena this year.
