candidates. The unofficial returns
show majority of l6 for Dunseath,

with the court what the punishment
shall be. as the law provides from
two years to life Imprisonment
number of elements will have
TO be taken into consideration by
Judge Ayerill in arriving at what he
thinks an adequate penalty. In the
first place, the victims of the fire
were mostly poor people who could
not AFFORD to lose any part of their
small possessions. Fourteen house
holders were deprived of homes and
a great many of these lost every ar
ficle of furniture they owned. They
mad not done anything to invite the
loss. There was IA complete absence
OF motive, as the crime was not insti-
gated by any spirit of revenge or re.
prisal. 1t was purely malicious. ON
the other hand, it is expected that
the court win take into consideration
the fact that the county was spared
great expense by the action Of the
culprit in pleading guilty and hasten
ing the course OF justice but, at the
same time, it is apparent that the
prisoner did not commit the crime
OF his own volition and without the
counsel of others In refusing to dis
close the names of his confederates

actually thwarting the ends of justice
by his obstinate demeanor in with.

Thomasen, known locally as THE
Kaiser was brought back from
Goldfeld at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon He waived his right to a
preliminary hearing and an informa.
tion was filed with the district court
at 4:30. The case was Immediately set
for hearing in half an hour At that
time Thomasen appeared in court
and pleaded guilty to the crime Of ar
son as contained in the information
The court inquired If he wished to en-
gage the services of an attorney and
the prisoner rejoined that he would
act as his own attorney. Judge Ave
rill then ordered the clerk to enter
the plea and added that he would
pass sentence Monday afternoon at
o'clock The prisoner expostulated
saying he was ready TO hear the sent
ence at that moment and would not
gain anything by delay The sooner
he knew what he was up against the
better and in Difference to his wish
the court said he would pass iudg

cases in the history of Tonopah.

WASHOE COUNTY
VOTE CANVASSED
SHOWS FERREL ELECTED sHER-
IFF OVER BURKE; PLATT's MA
JoRlTY IN COUNTY 23e.

Washoe county's vote on the recent
election was completely canvassed
Tuesday by the board of county COM
missloners and produced one surprise
in showing that c. P. Ferrel (R.) had
been elected sheriff over A. A. Burke
CD by IL votes, receiving 1879 votes
to 1857 for Burke. The discrepancy
in the official vote from that previ-
ously reported was found when the
precinct of Franktown was canvassed
giving Z for Ferrel and IL for Burke.
The change completely upset Burke's
apparent advantage of five votes and
left him ~ behind.
In the canvass Sam Platts majority
over Senator Newlands was reduced
by IL, making it 2S6 instead of 24S.
No changes Of importance were not
