JURY DISAGREES in
BARNES LIBEL SUIT

that the jurymen would not be per
forming their sworn duty if they con-
sidered politics or allowed their in
dividual political beliefs to play any
part in the reaching of a verdict.
When at o'clock no word had came
from the jury room, Justice Andrews
sent for the twelve men. Then juror
No. addressed the court in part as
follows:
Il don't know but what it would be
sood idea If you would repeat that
Fart of your charge in which you said
that nonpolitical opinion of our own
should in any way affect us reaching

all personal prejudices; that in reach

nothing but the evidence and that
alone"
Justice Andrews replied that he
thought the jury surely must under
stand that it would not be performing
its duty if it did otherwise.

Big GAME WITH
LAMO|LLE SUNDAY
(By the Sporting Editor)

The reunited Elko Baseball aggrega-
ton will endeavor to revenge them
selves on the Lamoille ball tossers
Sunday afternoon at the local grounds.
Manager Ames and his worthy cohorts
are coming in strong with new talent,
and one of the best games of the
year is expected. Last time the La
moillers gently slipped one over on
the local crowd, and though Southpaw
Manning was Oh the mound the LAT
ter part of the game, the locals could
not garner enough runs to win.
AS there will be only one game Sun
day, the locals will have a stronger
lineup than the one which battled with
the ruralties the last time. Among
those who may wear uniforms in the
next game are Hanks, Furlong and
Dore, catchers; Manning, Bryant and
Carville, pitchers; McFarlane, Hell
frich, Merrick, Woodward and Casey
Austin infielders; Reinhart, Wright,
Merithew, Snelson, Hicks and Pultz
outtlelders. The Lamoille boys have
been working hard on their teamwork,
and in this point should be superior
to the locals.
The Elko team will have many
strong games this year, and the Mon.
tello struggle a week from Sunday
will give the locals a real line on their
strength before the Lovelock and Win
nemucca games. With a good battery,
and daily practice by the outer works,
there Is every reason to believe that
Elko will place strong team in the
field this year. The committee ap-
pointed to raise funds for the team are
busy this afternoon among the merch-
ants, and it is hoped that a goodly
sum will be rallied, as it costs to
run ball club but the benefits to be
gained by advertising the town are
many.
Winnemucca wired for a game on
Sunday, but the Lamoille game contest
will be at least one days work for the
locals. Manager Doyle also received
letter from Drolette, the former Carlin
catcher and Moy who was the first
backstop for the st. Mary's College
teamA Both players are anxious to 10.
cate here, and will come if positions
can be found for them. With Manning
and Moy, or Manning and Drolette as
battery, Elko would look mighty
good for some victories. One trou.
BILE that is noticeable here is the lack
of get to gether" spirit, and il the To-
cal boys can overcome this, the pros
pect for good season of the national
game, is unusually bright.

STORE ROBBED
LAST NIGHT

The grocery store of Sutherland &
McFarlane's was robbed last night.
Entrance was effected through the
skylight and The cash register was rob-
bed of its contents, amounting to
about twenty dollars.
By means of a ladder the burglar
or burglars mounted to the top of the
building, removed a pane of glass
from the skylight, and then evidently
by means of a rope lowered himself
to the floor. Nothing was disturbed
but the cash register, and the exit was
undoubtedly made in the same manner
as the entrance. When the store was
opened this morning the stepladder
that is used in the store was found
dlrecly under the skylight, indicating
that the burglar had left the building
through the skylight, and the ladder
OH the outside remained standing
against the building.
The officers have no clew to work
upon, but they believe the job to have
been done by some local person or
someone familiar with the place and
it's surroundings.
The next fellow who tries such
job may find himself caught between
the jaws of a big steel trap. We arc
advised that burglar device of such
nature has been devised and so con-
cealed that it cannot be seen but that
it will be hard for any prowler to
avoid it.
