Taken il by Sheriff \. /. After 4
Premises are Searched.

Mandan. N. D., Jan. IA trail Of
blood leading from the yard Of Nc
Gillic's slaughter house led to the ar
rest Of Julius Tiff. For some time
the McGillic and Meat and Grocery
company has been missing meat from
their slaughter house west Of the city.
But through no vigilance, however,
strenuously exerted had they been
able to detect the offender or get any
clue until a pool Of blood was dis
covered in the yard and leading from
It a trail Of blood to wagon tracks
outside as il hog or sheep had been
dragged through the pool and thrown
into the wagon, seemed to indicate
some solution to the mystery. Follow
ing the tracks they arrived at the
place occupied by Julius Tiff. Re-
turning to Mandan McGillic had a
search warrant sworn out against Tiff
and upon a careful search Of the
premises quarter of pork as well
as other things claimed by McGillic
to belong to him, were found.
Upon being asked to account for
the above Tiff claimed to have pur-
chased them from Kasper Gress, but
Kasper Gress upon being asked con-
cerning any such sale made by him,
denied any knowledge Of it.
Tiff was taken before Judge H, L.
Henke and placed under $500 bond,
which failing to secure. he was con-
fined to the Morton county jail to
await trial., which will be had in the
next few days.

SON PRINCIPAL,
FATHER DEPUTY

VIM. Woodburn, Jr., u! S.. dis
trict attorney of Nevada, has APP
pointed his father his DEPUTY. The
Office at Carson will be in charge
Of William WOODBURY.. Sr., n of
the olG-time and ablest attorneysssof
the state.
While we have no intention of de-
traciting from the abilities of the
son, we believe the deputy will be
able to give his principal cards and
spades and then beat him at the
legal game. There r very few
attorneys in Nevada. il any, who
have had a wider range of exper.
fence than VIM. Woodburn, Sr. He
practiced law on the Comstock when
the brightest legal minds of the
country were gathered there and
made a brilliant record. He repre-
scented the state in congress two or
more terms and won al honorable
position among the nations legis-
lators.
While we congratulate him ON
receiving the appointment we do
not hesitate to say that he will re-
feet greater honor ON the position
than il confers upon him. His
home is in Carson and he will have
charge Of the Office as his son will
keep his residence in Reno.

ialism.
Mr.. Wilson impressed the writer
as an earnest nan, one who has
seriously studied the problems Of
government, and who is not asham-
ed Of the convictions formed from.
that study. He is an interesting
speaker and the audience never
lost interest, though he talked for
over two hours.
While we are not a socialist and
have but little sympathy with its
principles, we freely admit that if
some of the principles advocated
by Mr.. Wilson r crystalIized
into law, this government would be
a much BETTER government for the
common people. Those principles
are not necessarily the private
property of socialists. They are
being advocated today by men Ct
all parties and before another gen.
Grafton passes, we believe they will
be a part of the laws Of the couu-
try. We refer particularly to
shorter hours of labor, the govern
ment ownership of public utilities
and the destruction of monopoly,
whether it be of land or the neces-
saries or comforts of life. These
matters are now receiving the at
tention of the brightest minds of
all parties and a solution is being
honestly sought for that will do
justice to ALL.
Mr.. Wilson punctuated his re-
marks with flashes of wit that kept
his hearers in good humor and
made them pay strict attention.
His references to Roosevelt and the
% "planklets" he stole from the
socialist platform at Chicago and
the row between Roosevelt and Taft
in the last Campaign seemed t.
please everybody and were greeted
with applause. A collection was
taken up at the close of the speech
and sufficient money was raised to
pay the expense of the meeting.

VERSION OF
BENTON'S DEATH

The following from the Edin-
burgh Scotsman clears up n story
to which full justice has never been
done:
"rhe commission appointed by
General Carranza to inquire into
the circumstances If Mr.. Benton's
death has made its report. Tine
commission finds that the British
rancher was shot by Major Rudolph
Fierro, a member Of General Villas
staff at Samalycan Station, on the
Mexican Central railroad, between
Juarez and Chihuahua, and that
there was no court-martial.
According to the report. after
a quarrel between Mr.. Benton ard
General Villa in the latter's office,
the General ordered Major Fierro
to take the Englishman to Chihua-
hua Jail, adding: 81 will free him
later il he is civil" While in the
train Major Fierro is alleged to
have shot Mr.. Benton in. the side
of the head.
"The body was taken out Of the
train and propped mp against a tele-
graph pole, and a firing party or
dered to riddle it with bullets.
Major Fierro then wired to General
Villa stating that he shot Mr..
Benton when he tried to escape.
"Major Fierro is now in Jail. When
the body was.exhumed it was found
that there was a shot in the head
as we'll as eight bullets in the
breast"

PREsTONs PAROLE

The parole of Preston is causing
considerable discussion over tn.
state and well it might, The crime
uf murder is becoming a joke in
Nevada and men with a little politi-
eel pull are soon freed from the
confines of the prison and the only
ones that are executed are poor
miserable wretches who cannot
speak the American language and
have not even their own vote to
use on election day. The judges of
the Supreme Court after action in
the matter thought it wise to ex
plain to the people of the Qtate
through the columns of the press
why they took the action they did.
The very idea that the judges felt
themselves called upon to explain
the matter causes considerable dis
cussion. Smith and Preston are
now both freed from the prison
cell and pardoned for the crime for
which they were convicted while
Silva, the restaurant keeper, who
attempted to defend mis- property
and his business interests, lies
Wondering in the sands of south
ern Nevada. There is no parole
for Silva save only by his God. He
will not walk the Streets of our
western states a man enjoying life
and liberty for him all is done.

sued in this state of ours that the
greater criminal is the one who is

P r o SPERITY

Eko depends for its prosperity very largely upon
tine M, surrounding country. What helps the rancher, helps
Elko. The great increase in the price of cattle in the last
few years, has had largely to do with the position that
Elko and Elko County hold in a financial way in the state.
This increased cost of livestock has naturally re-
suited IN higher retail prices of dressed meats, and while
these prices may seem high here, they have not advanced in
proportion to the price of cattle on foot.
Elko people want only the best, and this we are
trying hard to give them. Our meats ares not dressed on
the outside and shipped i'll under ice. This is all done
here, and we use only the latest and the best cattle and
other live stock we can bny. We are in position to give
you quality, service and price, and we certainly ap-
prec1ate your business. Will you not, today. call up the
meat department, ask for Mr.. Helfrich, tell him what you
want, and you may be sure of getting just the cuts that
you prefer. Il
