Think Coy No. Responsible.

Chief of Police Kenney stated last
night, that while he was not Wit
ness to the accident, that from all
the information he had been able to
gather at that time, no responsible
ity for the accident could BIO placed
upon the boy who was driving the
machine.
TT seems to me to have been pure
ly accidental" he said. And an 40
cident to be much regretted. SO far
as I can find out, the driver Of the
machine was not responsible. The
story told by both father and son
agrees in nearly every detail. The
boy says that he sounded his horn
just as he ran onto Main street and
that he thinks he sounded 1t again
twice as Ne was going across tbs
street car tracks. He said that he
was not going over six miles an
hour.
Woman Seemed Confused.
Both father and son believe that
Miss Griffin became confused when
she heard their horn, glanced around
and saw the machine approaching
They say she seemed dazed when,

stopped and waited for the car to
strike her. This cast reminds me
very much of the accident that hap

months ago"
Perry Anderson, the fifteen year
old boy, who was driving the car,
was not an experienced driver, the
police say. The boy said the car. n

Car Was Running Slowly.

She was knocked over and dragged
for distance Of from fifteen to
twenty feet before the machine was
stopped. According to the testimony
of the driver, Perry Anderson, the
car was not running over six miles
an hour when the accident happened.
When by-standers reached the
woman, she was unconscious. A
large pool of blood already had ac-
cuntulated on the pavement under
her head. Her face had been cut in
large cash on the right side, but
the injury which is believed to have
caused her death was a severe frac-
ture of the skull at the base Of her
brain. This injury is supposed to
have been caused by her head strik-
ing the pavement.
Immediately after the accident, Dr.
F. B. Dorsey was summoned. After a
superficial examination. he removed
the injured woman in hiS automobile
to Graham hospital where every pos
sible measure was taken to save her
life. She died few minutes before

CLAIMS OF RUSSIAN
 DEFEAT EXAGGERATED

dent Says if Serious Reverse Has
 Been Suffered it Will ProIong War.
 London, May 4, 4:47 a. m.-German claims of a crushing defeat of the Russian center are exaggerated ac- counts of local successes, in the opin- ion of the Daily Mails military cor respondent, who says:
 Such exaggerated claims are to be expected just now in view of the necessity of influencing wavering neu- trals Nevertheless the German offen- sive against the Russian center long has been expected For the past month the Germans have been nov- ing men to Cracow.
 That such a maneuver as piercing the Russian certer was essayed at the same time as serious attacks toward Riga and Ypres shows the resources and amazing audacity of the German staff. If the Russian front has been pierced and serious reverse suf- fered, the war will be greatly pro- longed but that any German success, however great will affect the resist ance of Russia cannot be believed"

RANGE OF BIG GUNS.
Theoretically Have No Limit, Says
 Inventor Turpin.

Paris, May 4, 5:1o a. -"Theore- tically there is no limit to the range of big guns," said Henry Turpin, the inventor of melinite to representa- tive of the Petit Parisien, in discuss ing the bombardment of Dunkirk. "When I was attached to the techni- cal artillery section of the ministry Of war General Andro, then minister, asked me to make special experiments to see if it was possible to produce a projeetile with range equivalent to the distance from Calias to Dover. My first experiments and calculations showed it was possible to attain a much greater range than that" It was while connected with the ministry of war that M. Turpin i'm vented the aerial torpedo which the Germans appear to be using on both fronts, and the inventor is unable to understand how they learned the secret.

Women Should Take Warning

If the statement made at New York Assembly of women, that healthy American women are so rare that they are almost extinct, is true, 1t is time for the women of America. to take warning and look to their health.

 TO PRISON FOR LIE
CsaviGted in Connection Wllh Death
 ef Colorado Deputy Sheriff.

Trinidad, Colo, May 4.--John R. Lawson, member of the international executive board of the United Mine Workers of America yesterday was found guilty of murder in the first de-. gree in connection with the death at Ludlow, Colo, on October 25, 1913, of John Nimnno. a deputy sheriff. Law son vas sssntencsd ltb spertds the re- mainder of his life at hard labor in the Colorado penitentiary. Under the Colorado statutes, the jury, which had been deliberating since Saturday night, was empowered to return a sentence cf either death or life imprisonment Thirty days were given attorneys for the defense to file motion for a new. trial and Lawson was released tenn porarily in custody of his counsel.
 Last night Judge Granpy Hillyer said he had not decided whether Law son would be allowed to remain at liberty pending the outcome of the fl- ing of a motion for g. new trial. Law son himself at local hotel, talked quite philcsophica1ly of the verdict. He said:
 Fighting for Workingmen.
 They may get me. but they can't defeat the cause of labor. I'm not worrying about myself-it's the fight have bean making for the working men that I am interested in-and that will go ahead Even for me, it's a long way to the penitentiary. My at tcrneys will not give up until every thing possible has been done to save me
 Commenting on the verdict. Horace N. Hawkins, .chief counsel for the de- tense, said: T do not believe the verdict ever will be sustained. It is contrary to the evidence. I shall fight this case as long as there are courts in which to fight"
 Leader in Colorado Strike. Y Lawson is the member of the inter- national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America for district 15.5 He was one of the prominent leaders in the recent coal miners strike in Colorado, which was one of the most notable labor conflicts in the history of the United States.
 The strike was called for September 23, 1913 On that date thousands of miners laid down their tools. Those living upon the property or the coal companies loaded up their household goods and moved out, most of them settling in tent colonies established by the union. The largest of these was at Ludlow, a few miles north of Trinidad and in close proximity to the Hastings, Delasua, Tobasco, Berwind and Forbes mines. t
 Seysies of CHast1es
 Violence began early in the strike. There was a series of clashes in the Ludlow and Forbes neighborhood, and on October 29 the National Guard Of Colorado, on orders from Gov. E. M. Ammons. took possession of the coal mining districts.
 It was in one of the Ludlow fights before the arrival of the state militia that John Nimmo was killed. Nimmo was one of a force of deputies sta toned at the Ludlow section house under command of K. E. Linderfelt. Linderfelt, a witness for the prosecu- ton, said the deputies were ordered by the then sheriff James S Grisham to preserve order and prevent trouble between strikers and mine guards Early in the afternoon Of October 25, 1913, fight started between these

GIVES AWAY MILE
Of FINE LAND

Today is a cold, disasreeable one
with fiurries of snow and a raw wind
that is not exactly agreeable. And if
anything would tend to discourage one
such weather might, and yet in spite
OF the u~nfavorable weather, four
neighbors from the Metropolis district
came in to Elko and submitted final
proofs TO the land office, asking title
TO 100 acres of land each, the total
making II mile, as all four quarter
sections lie neighboring, and the four
men have lived there without sight
OF one another for the four years re-
Quired, and are the very best of
friends.
What an inspiring thing to see these.
citizens coming into our land office
and admitting that Nevada is such a
desirable place for a home. and how
il should instill into the minds of each
every n who cares for Nevada's
future, that the true way for Nevada
TO prosper, and the only way, is the

states settlers are induced TO come in,
who have no means, and who are un.
able to tide over the hardships which
necessarily come until they are able
to have crops. And what an immense
detriment to any country TO have set
tiers brought i'll on false promises,
perhaps families with little helpless
children, and with no to pro-
vide them with the necessities of life
for perhaps the two or three seasons
hat il takes TO clear the land and
raise crops.
And however rich Nevada land may
be (and there is none richer) this
boost game should be done in an hon.
est way. Settlers should not be in
duced TO come here unless they have
the means of providing until nature
can furnish them with food.
These four settlers, however, have
located in the heart of the district,
parts of which were up for sale here
when the tracts of the Pacific Rec.

of weeks ago. They are right on the
