THE INTERURBAN AND THE
COLLEGE.

The Eagle in common with all other
citizens deeply regrets that conditions
are such as to call for the action that
has been taken by the people of the
A. & NJ. College, relative to the Bryan
College interurban, appearing in this
paper 1t is unfortunate that the road
has not been able to maintain a serv-
ice that was satisfactory. 1t is I'M
fortunate that the present state of
feeling exists, as it will be hard to
overcome, and will initiate against
the road, no matter what its future
course may be. It will also be unfor-
tunate if conditions cannot be imme-
diately improved so that another com
peting service will not be established.
Such action would be a great loss and
great injury to the people who have
put their money, their time and their
very blood into the present road. Still
the people of College have rights in
the matter and cannot be blamed for
taking whatever steps are necessary
TO give them the relief sought.
The Eagle has plead day in and day
out for something to be done. Fol-
identification, for a readjustment OF
the whole affair, for the Commercial
Club to take hold of the matter and
work it out in some manner that
would protect the owners of the road

Woman Given
Term In Prison
FRANCES MONIES FAILS TO GET
NEW TRIAL AND DRAWS INDIE
TERMINATE SENTENCE IN THE
STATE PENITENTIARY.

Frances e. Nones was given an
indeterminate sentence from n to
fourteen years In the state peniten-
tiary at Carson by Judge Coleman
yesterday afternoon, on the charge Of
assault with intent to kill Christine
Ness at Star Pointer.
The imposing of a period of in
vluntary confinement behind Jail bars
followed after the court had denied
the motion of the defendant for q
new trial.
ut is an unpleasant duty for any
court to pass sentence upon a person
and particularly upon a woman
said Judge Coleman after he had di-
rected Mrs. Nones to stand up fol
sentence. but the court has Its
duty to perform"
Il will not undertake to believer
any lecture to you because 1t would
avail nothing. Furthermore | do
not think that the court would be
justified in undertaking to indulge In
anything of that kind"
The contentious of the defense In
seeking a new trial were that the
court erred in giving certain in
structions, that the vedict is contrary
to law, and that on eross-examination
of Defendants statements we're ad-
mitted that were improper and pre-
judicial.
Judge Coleman overruled ali the
contentious of the defendant, and
said that the verdict was amply
sustained by both the law and the
evidence. The court intimated that
the charge of improper evidence was
too indefinite to warrant considera-
ton. He referred to the statement
of an officer to impeach the defen-
dant was inconsistent and harmless
because the defendant afterwards
denied making the statements at
tributed to her.
Mrs. Nones assumed a stoicial at
titude when the words fell from the
lips of the court that will cause her
to don the stripes of a felon. and did
not seem to be worried over the fact
that she will be deprived of her liber-
ty for an indefinite period of time.

GATES SHOULDER AND SUS-
TAINS MINOR BRUISES BY
FALLING FROM MINES TRAIN.

John A. Steele, an old and we'll
known resident of Ely, was serious
ly injured yesterday afternoon, by
falling from a train between Ely and
Lane City. He is at the Steptoe hos
pital. suffering from a ~dislocated
shoulder and cuts on his scalp and
left hand.
While his injuries are serious.
they are not considered of a critical
nature, and 1t is expected he will
soon be out again after as narrow an
escape from death as he will prob
ably ever have. 1t is not known def
lnitely just how he happened to fall
from the train, as at the hospital last
night he had not recovered from the
shock ST. sufficiently to give a lucid ac-
count of the accident.
Mr.. Steele had left Ely on the Alb
mines train from hurry street, for
his home at Lane City. He was not
missed until the train arrived at
Lane City, when it was noticed that
he did not leave the train, which con-
tinued on its way to Veteran.
A few minutes later an ore train,
bound down the hill, came upon a
man lying beside the track a shot
distance below Ian City. The train
was stopped and upon investigation
by the crew, Mr.. Steele's identity was
discovered, and as he seemed to be
badly hurt. he was placed on board
the ore train and taken to East Ely.
road officials and the Steptoe hospital
meantime having been notified of the
accident by telephone. and instruc-
tions given for his removal to the
hospital as quickly as possible.
II is thought the accident occurred
about 4.30 O'Clock and the injured
man was received at the hospital al
6:15.
Mr.. Steele has been a resident OF
Ely district for more than forty
years, and has operated in mining to
a large extent.

FOR SPECIAL
GRAND JURY DENIED

Declaring that the request of the
defense was prompted by a desire to
harass the prosecution in the case of
the state of Nevada against William
Neal, accused of assaulting a young
girl at McGill. Judge Coleman hand
ed down a decision in the district
court yesterday afternoon. denying
petition of Attorney c. A. Eddy for
he calling of a special grand jury.
After ruling adversely against the
contentious of the defense. Judge
Coleman stated that 1t vas an excel
lent idea that the three branches of
our government were separate and
distinct, aud that no one interfered
with the performance of duties of the
other. He thought II would be in
advisable to take away the power OF
discretion from one of the depart
ments.
The court did not comment on the
fact as to whether a case could he
proven against Smith. hut he en-
phasize6 the fact that in matters on
this sort II would be an utter impos-
sibility for a grand jury to indict or
a trial jury convict a man for as
sault under circumstances as Smith
claimed. Judge Coleman declared
that he did not feel warranted In
putting the county to additional ex-
rense without having an opinion as
10 the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANT Neal or the defendant
Smith.
II feel that no man should take the
law into his own hands" said Judge
Coleman. Ii Is my belief that the
district attorney and the justice OF
the peace were acting In good faith
at all times, and reluctant to take
away from any officer their right
10 conduct their respective Offices in
a manner which In their judgment
was best"
The petitions for the summoning of
a grand jury alleged that the crime
of assault with intent to kill had
been committed by l.. ID. Smith, the
claim being asserted that Smith hit
Neal on the head with a beer bottle.
