Of his record in the assembly and
asks his party to endorse him at the

The worst thing we know about
Allen is his poll les. He is welded
to the doctrines and principles of

CAN YOU BLAME THEM7

A news dispatch from Wisconsin
says that the old fashioMd male"
scarecrow which Howard Smithson
had in his cornfield did not do any
good. The crows became so friend
ly with it that they perched on its
mimic shotgun. But Smithson is
a clever fellow and he went to Mil
waukee and got an idea. In the
city he took careful observation of
some of the extreme fashions worn
by women and he went home and
made a scaTecrow. The upper part
OF the figure he dressed with a low
necked garment and lower part
with a slit skirt. He fashioned
the hair low over the forehead and
upon the head he put a rakish-look-
ing hat with a wavering plume.
Snon afterward q flock of crows
came lowering over the felj. They
we're just preparing to alight when
they beheld such a figure rs never
before met their gaze. With one
mighty Cav" they took to their
wings. And no crow has been seen
in that cornfield since.

INTENT OF
LEGISLATURE GOVERNS

The two-judge statute, passed by
the last legislature, and recently
submitted to the Supreme court
for Interpretation so that ar INTEL
igent order could be sent out rela-
tive to the approaching election by
the secretary of state, was deter.
lined today by the upper court.
The order of the court. was that
the writ should issue as prayed for
restraining the secretary Of state
from issuing official certificate of
nomination for the Office of District
judge to more than one person for
each political party in any of the
judicial districts of the state of
Nevada, except the second judicial
district.
The opinion as written by Justice
McCarran, places the construction
of the statute, insofar as The leg
islatiye intent was concerned, upon
sections 5 and a of the act and
sets forth that inasmuch as sec
ton 8 provides for a salary for one
judge in the several districts NAM
ed, and as section 4 specifically
provides for two judges in the Sec
ond judicial district and makes
special provision that those judges
shall have concurrent and co extern
sive jurisdiction tic legislative in-
tent is made clear thereby that
there should be but one judge for
each of the several judicial dis
t%ricts, excepting the second, and
for the second there should be two
judges. The decision was signed
by Justice. Norcross, Chief Justice

count, who enlisted in,62 d q
drummer boy in Company 4.
Twehty-fourth New Jersey resi.
ment. at the age Of IL years. s
months and 10 days.
Mr.. Mcdonald. writing from
California, claimed the title Of be-
ing the youngest veteran of the
war. having enlisted at the age Of
10 years and II days. Here is his
record: Born February 81. 1852,
at Fort Vancouver. Wash, where
his father had arrived four years
before, he was enrolled, as his en-
listment papers show, with the
consent Of his parents, ss a bugler
in Battery D Third United States
Artillery, by Captain W. F. Windsr.
This was at Alcatraz Island, March
10, 1866 at Fort Winfield Scott.
The following day he reenlisted
and after a transfer to Battery E,
Second Artillery. the youthful
soldier still in his teens was dis
charged al Fort St~eilacoon, Wash
ington territory, March IL, 1868.
Mr.. Mcdonald neSer completely
got away from militsry life, once
he had enlisted. After eight years
of work at his stucco and plaster
decorative art, he re-entered the
army, and saw seIvice in several
Indian campaigns with leaders such
rs Miles Chaffee and Howard
amoEg them the campaign against
Geronimo in Arizona, and the Nez
Perez wars. Though serving dur
ing his entire period in the army
as q musician. Mr.. Mcdonald was
many times up in the skirmish line,
and his left hand still carries the
mark where an Indians bullet sped
through the flesh.
Another soldier Mr.. Mcdonald
calls attention to, is w. j. Ruddick
of San francisco. who was born in
1851, entered the army with Com
Dany l, Second Colorado. FIVE
months later than Mr.. Mcdonald.
He and Gilbert Van Zandt, Of
Kansas City, who enrolled as a
drummer in Company D. Seventy
ninth Ohio volunteer infantry, are
the next two youngest soldiers, so
far as Mr.. Mcdonald is able to learn.
Knowing these facts, MIR. Mcdonald
could not resist the temptation to
point OFT t~heserecords after having
read the article Of New Jerseys
youngest soldier in the war, in the
Sunday Call at the other end of the
continent.

asked for a few moments of time.
He drew from his pocket a dis
charge from the Union army to
which was attached an article from
the Newark, New Jersey, Call of
April 10, 1912. Besides this article
and other discharges from the
ARM. he had his baptism record
showing that he was baptized on
March q, 1852, when he was "a
days old. This would make Feb
ruary &c, 1852, his birthday. On
March 10, 1862, he enlisted as a
bugler in Battery D. Third United
States Artillery at Alcatraz, Cali
fornia. He served through that
and subsequent enlistments and
RECEIVED his discharge March IL,
1868. Eight years afterWard, he
enlisted again and took part in the
vars with the Nez Perces, Bannock
and Sheepeater Indians. in 1877,
6 & 9.
Mr.. Mcdonald claims that he
was the youngest soldier in the
Civil war and ths records he has
substantia:e his claim. He is now
living in Laroille and is in the
employ of the Griswold & Hender-
son company. He is in hopes that
this article may be read by some
of his old comrades and that he
may hav e the pleasure Of meeting
them and recalling the days long
past.
Following is the article from the
Newark Times referred to above:
A copy of the Sunday Call, one
of $4,000, rolled off the Call press
in Market street Sunday morning,
April 10. Five days later the self
same newspaper was delivered by
one of Uncle Samuel's mail carriers
into the hands of John Mcdonald
at the Veterans Home in Napa
equity, California, $500 miles
from here. One instance showing
now far this newspaper cilculates.
And there are others, Felix
Fuld and Louis M. Frank, of this
city, who made 8 tour of the world
a year ago, upon their return home
stated that they realized they were
back in civilization when they
reached Paris after spending many
gloomy days in travelling through
Asiatic countries and European
Russia, for in the French capitol
they were able to obtain the Sunday
Call.
However. this article is not IN
tended as ar essay for exploiting
the wild circulation Of the Sunday
Call. To the point, John Mcdonald,
a veteran of the Civil war, upon re-
ceiving the Newark Sunday news
paper at the Veterans Home in
California. found in the issue of
April 10 a story, under the caption
of9 Boys Army in the Civil War"
containing data of various boys Of
the tender age of II and IL years,
who enlisted in the Union army
during the War of the Rebellion,
and the Californian writes in reply
that he is personally aware Of sew
eral cases that beat the records
cited, and that he himself was
probably the youngest of them all.
The writer Of the story, General
