UNITED STATES FIRE
LOSS $500 4 MINUTE

According to a recent report is
sued by the Department of Com
MERGE and Labor of the United
States, the average per capita cost
of fires in all European countries is
33 cents while it is $500 in the
United States and $3.O7 in Canada.
The fire losses in Glasgow, Scot
land, are $325,000 per annum,
while in Boston, a smaller city,
they amount to $40, 000, 900; in.
Berlin they are about $175,O 900
and in Chicago, a city of the same
size, $55, 900, 900. In addition to
the extraordinary loss by fire we
are expanding an extraordinary
amount to prevent and extinguish
fires; for the cost Of the Berlin fire
department is only $500, 900 per
annu =. while Chicago spends 3d..
000, 900 yearly for the purpose. 1t
is stated in the Insurance Journal
that for twelve years past, the fires
in the United States and Canada
have consumed actual wealth at the
rate of $500 per n,inute.

DISTRICT COURT

The evidence in the Huber case
was all in before 5 O'Clock Monday
afternoon and Judge Taber read bis
instruction to the jury. To the
mind of a ,avman, the Instructions
left no ground for the defendants
plea of self defense to rest upon.
At the conclusion of the reading
Mr.. Gedney made the opening argu-
ment for the prosecution. He dwelt
upon the evidence of the case and
demanded a verdict of guilty. At
the close of his argument, the
court took a recess until z o'clock.
About the time for court to con-
vene after the recess, all the lights
in the courthouse went out and 1t
was some time before they we're
on duty again. In the meantime,
the courtroom was dimlg lighted
with candles.
When court convened, Attorney
Mcnamara made the opening argu-
ment for the defense. BE areaed
from the evidence that the defend.
ant was clearly within the law when
he fired the shot that caused the
death Of VIM. Billings. He was
followe | by Attorney Dysart who
made q strong plea for the life and
liner y Of the defendant. Deputy
District Attorney Cantwell followed
with the closing argument. He
made a strong plea for the enforce
ment of the law and the protection
of society. He urged the jury to
do its duty and find q verdict of
guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree. Mr.. Cantwell closed at 1885
and a minute later the jury fled
into the jury room to consider the
evidence and agree upon a verdict.
About 14o'clock the jury notified
the officers that a verdict had been
sgreed upon and as soon as court
could convene, the jury was brought

FRANK HUBER CONVICTED

The conviction of Frank Huber
of murder in the first degree with
the penalty of life Imprisonment
falls upon a divided public senti.
ment. That the verdict was a great
surprise to those who followed the
case is heard on every hand.
The friends of Huber consider
the verdict extremely severe under
the facts and circumstances of the
case as, they know them. On the
other hand the friends of William
Billings consider it just and rikht.
While the verdict does seem to be
severe, it must be admitted that
the crime was a serious one and
that the law demands severe pun
lshment in return. The verdict OF
this jury will, we believe, receive
the approval Of the people of Elko
county. But whether it does or
not, the fact remains that it is an
honest, conscientious verdict of
twelve disinterested citizens who
heard and weighed the evidence
and applied the law as given to
them by the court.
