He was attached to the army of
General Gates who was an cxutisti-
cal. scheminx. incompentent, who
got rid of everyone under him that
he thought might be apt to climb
higher.
Gates relieved Arnold of his COM
mand on the eve of the battle of
Saratoga. Next day while the battle
was in progress Arnold setcbed
the successful work of the enemy
until he could bear it no longer,
and then mounting his horse rode
to the head of his column. AS his
troops cheered and followed him,
Gates sent an aid after him to stop
him from taking part in the bat
tie. The aid was unable to over
take him and he won the fight after
IT was all but lost and captured
BeTis Heights. Gates, of course,
took the credit. Arnold lost aleg
in the fight. Soon after, by reason
of Arnold's splendid work Bur-
goyne was compelled to surrender
and Gates took the credit for that.
Arnold brooded vengefully ever
the injustice that bad been heaped
upon him, and finally sold out to
the eoemy.
He has been justly execrated
ever since but while boys are
taught to revile him as a traitor,
at the same time they should be
taught to shed a tear for that leg
that was shattered on Bemis
Heights.

as voting for tn bill "This alone
raises the SUSPICION that crook

the passage Of this bill" The Her
aid in its endfavor to make a point
falsifies that sentence ard pub
fishes it as follows: "This alone
raises the OPINION that crooked
work was done by meon in the

Now there is great difference in
the meaning of suspicion" and
opinion" as anyone can see by
referring to a dictionary. We do
not believe that the editor Of the
Herald is so ignorant of the Eng
lish language that he does not know
that difference. If the substitution
of "opinion" for suspicion" was
not done ignorantly it was done in
%tentionally and for a base purpose.
If done ignorantly we shall ex-
pect the Heralj to MAKE the proper
apology in its next issue.
1t is needless to say that the In
dependent stands by its statement
and still have a suspicion that
some n did crooked work in the
passage of the Wells high school

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
VS.. CARLIN

On July IL, 1910 the Board of
county commissioners of Elko coun-
ty, sitting as an executive body did
in due form, place the town of
Carlin under and subject TO an act
providing for the government of the
towns and cities of this state as
can be found on page 2G4 of the
Revised Statutes of this state.
Following is a summary of the
account of the Carlin town govern
ment fund as taken from the
books of the Treasurer of Elko
county. viz:
Receipts, Aug. and Sept. 1910,
$21l SO.
Disbursements, Jany, April and
June 1911, S209.0O.
Balance remaining in fund $3.50.
1t is now March 1914 and this
beautiful $3.50 still stands on our
county treasurer's books to our
credit and without having been
molested, added to or taken from,
since. June 9, 1911.
If there has been any money paid
from sny Of the several funds of
Elko county for internal purposes
within the limits of the town of
Carlin, since June 9. 1911. the pee
ples' money has heen unduly paid
out.
/ am legally advised that the
board Of county commissioners
have no authority to pay out a dol
lar Of the county money for the
town of CarIin.
The public interests of the town
Of Carlin are in a most wretched
condition. 1t is filthy and unsani-
tary. Its streets and alleys are in
a ~deplorable condition as nature
made them, only worse by usage
aud abuse.

thing else that would bring about

unanimous desire of the meeting
individually expressed that Ne re-
quest the county commissioners to
pace a special levy upon us for the
year 1914 of 81 on the 500 vslua
tion on all property within the
limits of the town of Carlip.
The writer Of this article was re-
quested by the meeting to make
their wishes known to the commits
sioners, which he agreed to do on
the folloNin ing Monday as he had
other work calling him to Elko on
that day.
The writer d d on Monday, March
IL, at about ll.30 a. m. enter the
commissioners room and did then
and there fully and correctly make
known to them the wishes of the
people of Carlin as expressed at
the called mass meeting herein
mentioned on Febr'y %. When the
writer closed his statement tn the
commissioners, they Immediately
adjourned for the noon hour. The
writer has been told by Mr.. Ciias.
B. Happier, that the chairman of
the board came down tow, found
him .(Mr. Kappler) and that he,
(Mr. Griswold), asked Mr.. Kap.
pier to go tn Mr.. Linebarger, Mr..
Griffin, Mr.. Buckle, Mr.. Isola and
Mr.. Owens and tell them what
Mr.. Pnett had just done up at the
court house and Mr.. Happier to
have them let him (Mr. Griswold)
know right away what they thought
about it.
Accordingly Mr.. Happier did, so
he told me, rs requested by Mr..
Griswold which resulted in a letter
being sent to the commissioners
the following Tuesday morning.
The letter is on file in the county
clerks Office and as it is there it
aaecomes public property. Below
is a copy of said letter, viz
"Dear Sirs: Please attend to this
matter and oblige citizens of Car.
lin.
Carlin, New, March 81, 1914
TO the Honorable the Board OF
County Commissioners, Elko,
Nevada.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
citizens and taxpayers request that
you ignore Mr.. Puett's request for
a special tax levy on the property
in this district and also we gave
the gentleman no permission to
make such a request,
Yours truly,
W. c. Owens. R. E. Keyser. D. R.
Thompson, j.. A. Bielar, Chas.
Buckle, R. G. Sperlich, Thos. Grit
fin, w. 7. Linebarger."
Mr.. Bielar and Mr.. Happier were
present at the mass meeting held
in the lobby of the Overland Hotel
on Feby. %.
The commissioners tailed to place
D special levy on the property in
the town of Carlin at their March
meeting of this year in spy sum
whatever for the town development
purposes. The writer is advised
that they can not now authorize a
special levy for Carlin until March,
1915.
1t now appears that our grand
old sinking fund Of $3.50 must sup.
ply our public necessities for an
other year.
II the commissioners will resolve
to do all business for the county
while in executive session at their
chambers in the court house; orga.
nize and commence their work in

balance of the county officers do at
the court house end work s hours

payers will receive more returns
