ices are titles, under which mans
name, alias and description are print
ed. The notices come in all shapes
and sizes, from a postal card to a
1Ox12 poster. There are quite a num-
ber of the notices sent out where no
reward is offered for the capture of
the person wanted.
The work Of the sheriff's office in
going through these papers, indexing
and filing them away is tedious one.
The system in force in the local Of
flee is the same as used in all the large
cities of the world and when a suspect
is taken in drag net it is but the
work Of a moment to ascertain if the
man or woman is wanted in some
other city and what they are wanted
for. It is habit of Sheriff Mead
ows' men to go through the library at
near intervals to become familiar with
the faces of criminals wanted.

$40 to $4,000, the majority being for
$10O and 5000. Although there are
quite a number for amounts of ST.
600 and over, the number of rewards
of $40 up to SlOO are SO many that
the average for the whole 5000 is
brought up to $3.50.
A perusal of the mass of notices
in the sheriff's office discloses that
the majority are for desertions from
the army and navy. The reward for
the capture has been fixed by the gov
ernment at $50. 1t is a noticeable
fact, however, that the number of de-
serters from both fighting arms of
the United States is diminishing.
Murder, arson, burglary, holdups,
strong arm men, gunmen, adulterers,

Should it fall to the lot of some

capture all violators of the law for
which Sheriff Mobley Meadows has
on hand notices Of rewards offered,
that person would be richer by $780,

5000 notices offering rewards for the

He said that he would strenuous.
~ oppose the importation of sand

Governor Oddie, by long DISTANCE

of Nevada material throughout in
the construction of the building.
He stated that il the teaming rates
on the Ruby Mountain marble

Johnnie removed both fists from
