HEROIC MOTHER DIES

child. Mrs. Margaret Spray Nickerson
of Seven Troughs passed away In Re-
no from burns oecasioned by the ex-
pIosion OF a gasoline stove with
which she was preparing a meal
Sunday afternoon.
From all accounts 1t seems that
the stove was not working well and
Mrs. Nickerson attempted to clean
the burner and while so doing the
gasoline in the reservoir exploded
e%nveloping her in flames. Unmind-
full of her own plight the mother
rushed to the opposite eorner of the
room and picking up her infant child
threw il out of a window upon a
pile of rocks near the house.
The residence was burned o ash

burns of such a frightful nature
that there was little chance of saw

Reno with all possible speed and TAX

she was placed under the are of DR..
George Mckenzie who spared no eff

SUPREME COURT
SAVED MURDERER.

On the advice of his attorney, Jose
Salgado, the murderer of Bessie Andy
an Indian girl, entered a plea of gull
ty of murder in the second degree In
the district court at Elko. Salgado
was twice convicted of the crime and
sentenced to death, but the supreme
court granted him a third trial. The
evidence was conclusive that there
was no hope of a verdict carrying a
lesser degree of punishment than life
Imprisonment and Salgado is salts
fled that he was saved from the
death penalty.
The district attorney of Elko coun-
ty stated to the court that owing to
the law passed by the last legislature
he was satisfied that it would be i'm
possible to get a conviction of murder
in the first degree, and consequently
he asked the court to allow Salgado TO
enter a plea of guilty of murder in
the second degree.
The murder committed by Salgardo
was of atrocious nature. He stab
bed an Indian girl to death in a street
in Elko. There was no extenuating
circumstance and Salgad owas twice
sentenced to death. In reversing the
case and granting a new trial the SUI
preme court practically decided that
the evidence was not sufficient to JUS
tify the verdict and Salgado was saved
from e~xpiating his crime with his life.

CRITICISES LAW
INVITING MURDER.

In passing sentence of life impris-
nmen on Jose Salgado. the Elko
murderer who was saved from death
by the supreme court and a law pass
ed by the last legislature. Judge Ia
Dor OF Elko took occasion to explain
how this miscarriage of justice had
been brought about and to criticize
the action of the legislature in prac-
tically a%bolishing capital punishment
in this state. In the course of his
remarks, Judge Tabor said:
1.-THE Legislature of 1915 amended
the murder law in two ways. In the
first place they included in murder in
the first degree murder which shall
be committed by a convict in the
state prison serving a term of life
Imprisonment. They included that.
The second change. and the one

ATTEMPT TO RAVISH
AN ELKO WOMAN.

The Elko papers report that a
tramp made an assault on Mrs.
George W. Fox, wife of a real estate
man of that place. The tramp APP
peared at the home of Mrs. Fox and
asked for something to eat and when
she turned around intending to get
breakfast for him he lunged for her.
threw her upon the floor and at
tempted an assault. The lady was
terror stricken. but she managed to
get away from the fiend and out of
the door. Neighbors were quickly
informed and the officers called, but
the fellow had gotten away when
they arrived. A good description
was secured. however, and no effort
will be spared to land the brute
where he belongs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fox live north of
Elko about half a mile on the Tusca-
ora road and the former had gone
to town to attend to his business.
The tramp was a young fellow.
Mrs. Fox made a desperate tight with
him and struck him repeatedly in
the face. breaking the skin with her
finger ring. The front of her waist
was covered with blood from the
face of the tramp where she had
sruck him. In the struggle the stone
of the ring was loosened from its
setting. the sharp point cutting his
face like a knife blade.
An Indian trailer traced the tramp
to outskirts of the town and as all
trains are being watched 1t is not
believed he can escape.
The people of Elko are greatly ex.
ercised over the attempted assault
and there is talk of dealing out sum

could only have said the represen-

1.-The result of this law is that Il
murder may be as cold-booded and
pemeditated as ever was devised, and
yet will not be murder in the first de-
gree unless it be murder perpetrated
by means of poison, lying in wait, or
torture. or committed in the perpe-
tration or attempt to perpetrate ar

"a convict in the state prison serving

THE very essential idea of murder
in the first degree in American his
tory has always been wilful premedi-

that out and says it is not murder In
