THE JARBIOGE KILLING

The evidence taken at the coro-
ner's inquest at Jarbigde to inquire
nto the cause of death 0f Tim
Smith, who was shot and killed by
Alice Howard at her place on the
gath, is on file in the clerks office.
The evidence shows clearly that
Smith was very very quarrelsome
man who WAS slave to drugs and
drink. The evidence Uf the Howard
woman was that Smith came to her
cabin early in the morning and
asked for drink. While she was
getting it, he began raving and
threatened to kill her. He caught
her by the throat and choked her.
She struggled with him and called
up the Success saloon for help.
While struggling with Smith, she
managed to get her revolver and
shot him. He did not speak after
the shot was fired. Other wit
nesses testified to Smith being q
very quarrelsome man, especially
when under the influence of drugs
and drink. From the evidence the
jury rendered the following pc.
culiaf verdict.
We, the coroner's jury, summon.
ed and sworn to sit on the remains
of one Tim Smith, who came to his
death on the morning Of May "a,
1914, in the town of Jarbidge, Elko
cn":ty, Nevada:
Find that said Tim Smith came to
his death from gunshot wound ir
the hands of one Allce Howard.
After the hearing of the evi.
dence in the case and due delibera.
'ion, We the jurors, are of the
unanimous opinion that said Alice
Howard had perfect right to de.
fend her life against the deceased
We, therefore, find a verdi:t OF
justifiable homicide.

MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day passed off very
quietly in town. The Odd Fellows
gathered at their hall 10 the fore
noon and marched to the ce enetery
and strewed beautiful flowers on
the graves of their dead.
In the afternoon, there was q
game OF baseball at the ball
grounds between the EIko Federals
and Regulars. The game created
considerable amusement, but was
too much one-sided to create any
excitement. The Fcderals failed
to score and the Regulars had II or
lS talleys to their credit when the
game closed.

In politics he !s :. loyal, true

dence among tho people he would
serve, his fitness for the position,
his record as citizen and his
knowledge Of the educational needs
Of the state cmincntly fit him for
the osiiion he seeks.
We have no hesitancy in recon-

make winning fight and give the
people safe and sane administra-

ELKO VS.. MONTElLO

The game of baseball Sunday af-
ternoon between the ElGo Regulars
and Montello nine created consider
able excitement among those who
witnessed the game. Up to the last
half Of the 4th inning, not player
had crossed the home plate. Both
:eatns had goose eggs to their
credit. In the 4th inning Elko
succeeded in getting two tallies. In
the 5th they ran up s more, while
the score of the Montello team re.
mained at zero. In the 9th the Elko
team added ono more tally making
their score 8 10 O.. In the 9th in.
ming, the Montcllo boys failed to
reach the home plate, leaving the
score 8 for Elko to 0 for the visit
ors.
Shortly after the game started,
it hogan to rain and Judge Taher,
the umpire. called the game off
until the rain ceased. The shower
made the ground slippery and
nasty for tho players, but it laid
the dust that the wind had hurled
about in binding clouds before it
rained.
Judge Tnber's decision seemed to
be fair to both sides and thcreswas
no wrangling. Tie Montello boys
fought hard for tally, but fate
was against them. They took their
defeat like real sportsmen,.

THE PENNSYLVANIA
PRIMARIES

Pennsylvania celebrated Colonc
Roosevelt's return by giving Boies
Penrose an overwhelming majority
for the Republican senatorial nnmi-
nation. Two years ago when the
colonel scored his greatest triumph
by polling 447,426 votes in Penn
sylvania against Mr.. Taft's 273, ,3O5.
1t was proclaimed that Penrose had
been forever consigned to the waste
heap Now he turns up again at
the statewide primaries as the un-
beatablc boss of the old Quay ma
chine and the acknowledged leader
by popular choice of the Republican
party. All the gang" candidates
for congress and state offices were
nominated along with Penrose. To
complete his victory. he has re-
captured control of the Republican
state committee from the Roosevelt
men who secured possession in the
1912 landslide.
The nomination of Clifford Pin.
chot as the Progressive candidate
for the United States senate was
foregOne conclusion. He was un-
opposed. But the showing made
by the Progressive party at the Pri-
maries Was pitiful. According to
the enrolment and after indications
by tens Of thousands they have
abandoned the third.pariy faith
and renewed their allegiance to
standpat Republicanism under the
Pcnrose standard.
While the Progressive voters Of
tWo o years ago so largely proved to
be backsliders. it is in the Dsmo.
cratic party at the primaries that
Pennsylvania manifested the real
progressive spirit. The Wilson
Democracy won all along the line
over the old Gufrcy faction. The
nomination OF Representative A
Mitchell Palmer for United States
senator over Henry Budd and Vance
Mccormick for governor over Nit
rhclI j. Ryan has hut one meaning.
The "rcurganizers" have demon
strated their strength throughout
the state and the Democratic party
approaches the coming elections
under able and honest leader ship,
while the Republicans have again
submitted passively to the domina-
tion Of Pcnrose and the old guard.
