BOUQUET FOR NEvADA'S
STATE POLICE FORCE

William j. Burns, the noted de-
tective, in an interview in the New
York Post. referred to the work of
the state police of Nevada as a model
to be followed in rural districts OF
New York. In an interview Just
published in the New York Post, Mr..
Burns says:
TO establish a state police like
that of Pennsylvania and Nevada
would be the best thing the state of
New York could possibly do. | can't
understand why ii has never been
o n before this. II is the Logical
and at the same time the simplest
way to make crimes as dan
gerous in isolated communities as IL
is in the big cities. Anybody who
knows what has been accomplished
in this direction by e of a state
constabulary in Pennsylvania and
Nevada wouldn't think of opposing it
In fact, | don't see who would oppose
the plan. anyhow. People who stand
against it can only be actuated by
a distaste for law and order on the
face of 1t. And | don't believe many
people would care to put themselves
in that category.

NEVADA PIONEER DIES
N SAN FRANCISCO.

George w. Merrill, for many years
a political power in Nevada. died In
San Francisco last Saturday, where
he had lived since 1890. He was
buried Tuesday Afternoon at the Ma
tional cemetery in the Preside there
under the direction of George II.
Thomas post, G. A. r., of which he
was a past commander. For five
successive terms he was district at
torney of Eureka county in this state
and served as a member of the legis-
lature at different times, being
speaker of the assembly in 1881.
Col. Merrill was born in Maine in
1897. He moved west at an early
age. When the wal broke out, ne
enlisted and at Its close was captain
of the Slxtieth Indiana regiment.
afterward he came to Nevada, where
he at once took a commanding po-
sition at the bar. In 1885 he was
appointed by President Cleveland to
be minister resident at the court of
King Kalakaua at Honolulu, which
post he retained until 1889.
Col. Merrill was a Mason of the
highest degrees in the York and
Scottish rites and was a member of
the Sons of the American Revolution
and the Military Order of the Loyal
Legion.

about a veal ago, since when he has
deity extracted from the ~eounty's
exchequer the sum of $3.50. Now
success in any line of endeayor ia
dangerous and this instance is no
exception. Five hundred and thir-
ty three dollars is a tidy sum
in these days of governmental re-
construction and 1t so far beggared
the results obtained by other trap
ers in the county that the commits
sioners and clerk grew suspicious.
Inquiry was begun with the result
that 1t was determined that Mr..
Mitchell has collected scalp money
during the year just closed from
counties of Ormsby, Lyon. Washoe
and Humboldt in addition to this
county. Humboldt county paid him
during 1913 the sum of $3.50, Lyon
SAL and the other counties lesser
amounts. Just how Mr.. Mitchell has
come to be the Coal Oil Johnny Of
the Nevada scalp game at one jump
is the subject disturbing the minds of
local oficialdom.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mitchelfs last
consignment of 40 bobcat scalps has
not been paid for. but reposes in the
county vault for expert inspection.
If it is shown subsequently by the
claimant that the bobcats from
which the scalps were taken were
Mr.. Mitchell's honest quarry, he will
be paid his two plunks per, but the
burden of proof now rests upon him.
In fact the affair has progressed to
that stage, where the county officials
feel free to invoke the good or
bad Office of the state police, which
ever way one is pleased to term it.,
to the end that the g%enealogy Of
these bobcats may be determined.
Just now there is a deep seated
suspicion that they were bred and
grew to maturity at some point in
the wilds of the northwest. Con-
irmatory are the scalps, which 1t is
claim do not resemble in the least
the Nevada product, though Mitchell
claims to have found the unusual
species up Carson river within this
county's territory, where though ad-
hitting his residence to be in Reno.

Between 80 and 40 school girls of
