DIVORCE BILL ENCOUNTERS
SQUAL[Y WEATHER IN SEA
HERETOFORE FAVORABLE

Assembly bill No. IL, the divorce
measure, received its first rebuff in
the senate this morning and If that
can be taken as a criterion, as its on.
ponents claim, the seal of disapproval
Will be set on easy bifurcation in Ne
Vada. The matter came up on the
motion Of Senator Thatcher when
the bill was taken from the file, to
refer 1t to the committee on educa-
ton and public morals, the member
ship OF which stands three to two in
favor OF six months residence. But
an amendment was offered by Sena-
tor Lee to refer to the judiciary
committee, which was carried by an
affirmative vote of IL, more than a
majority OF the senate. AS the COM
mittee on judiciary stands four to one
against any change in the present law,
1t is a cinch that when they report
on the bill their recommendation will
be unfavorable. In the vote this
morning opponents of the measure
scent its defeat, but they are not re-
laxing in their efforts to make it a
certainty. At their opportunities let
ters and kilograms condemning the
measure are reaching senators from
every direction, and Senator Stick
ney, one of those who have been fight
ing the bill, arose from a sick bed
this morning to be present and cast
his vote.

Constable McMurtrey of Elko town.
ship, left Sunday for Carson City
where he has been subpoenaed to at
tend the federal grand jury which
conyenes at that city this week. A
number Of local Indians, among whom
are Johnny Hank, Willie Gibson, Mill
Creek Tom, Johnny and Case Austin,
have also been summoned there as
witnesses in the bootlegging cases
from Elko. Constable McMurtrey has
been especially vigilant along these
lines and has succeeded in capturing
several white men and one negro
charged with this offense. According
to United States Marshal Gray, who
was recently in the city, there are
over eighty cases Of this kind to be
looked into by the grand jury and
only the fact that a large number of
them have pleaded guilty and receiv-
ed their sentences prevents this ses-
sion from being one Of the longest
in history.
