RACE TRACK BILL
FinaneieT Discusses Racing Measure;
Will Not Fight Divorce
Amendment

George Wingfield, president OF the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines COM
pany and owner of many thorough.
bred horses, believes objections to the
pending pari-mutuel horse-racing and
six months divorce bills will not avail.
He is OF the opinion that the majority
of the voters of the state have indi.
Gated they want this legislation. and
feels it will be passed despite protests.
Speaking for publication on the
measures which are so much in the
public eye at the present time. he
said last night:
Il don't think that if horseracing is
allowed under the pari-mutuel system.
under which system il is regulated by
a commission, that ii is going to inter.
fere with people who are opposed to
such things, and l don't think il is 60
ing to breed any crime in Nevada that
the state is not encumbered with at
the present time. II has proved sue
cessful wherever it has been given a
trial and it has encouraged people to
raise better class of livestock in
general. Had we had more thorough.
breds in the state during the last few
years to cross with the Nevada range
horses, we would have been able to
furnish the foreign governments with
suitable horses for their purposes and
at big prices. Nevada is an unde-
veloped state and it will not stand the
reforms that might apply to states of
a very large population.
AS far as the divorce law Is con-
cerncd, | was one who was opposed to
it when it was in effect. In fact. / was
opposed to it last election. but we are
living under a republican form of gov
ernment. and, as l understand IL. the
majority rules-and there is no doubt
whatever that the majority is for more
liberal laws in Nevada These matters
were brought out in open issue during
the campaign, and it is apparent that
majority of the people are in favor
of economy and less reform. 1t seems
that the business men in general OBJ.
jected-as the votes showed at the
last election-to being legislated out
of business.
while no one is trying to encour-
age crime, it doesn't appear to me that
the people want too many reform
measures, unless there is some ham
and eggs with them"

CONSTABLE CATCHES

Constable McMurtrey keeps up the
good work of catching bootleggers
who are operating in this city. The
first of the week he arrested a negro
who gave'the name of ode Davis, on
this charge. Davis was caught in the
act of giving a bottle of whiskey to
Johnny Austin, a well known young
Indian of Elko. He will be given a
hearing before United States Commits

States marshal arrives from the west

quarters to receive his commission, he
raised the contracts TO amounts rang
ing from SO to $50 more than the
original contract called for, thereby
raising his Commission a goodly sum.
He operated in this manner for some
time and finally was advanced money
by Mr.. Wheeler who was connected
with the enterprise, to go to Tonopah
and work that city. Instead of going
10 Tonopah, however, he made ar
rangements with someone at that
place TO send fake letters to head
quarters from there, and he came to
Elko and started the project he un-
Ill today engaged in. His fraud went
undiscovered until few days ago
when in checking up contracts. the
head Office of his employing company
discovered that the contracts were
forged. A search was immediately
started for him and as result he was
caught here today and arrested.
He will be taken to Reno today by
Sheriff Harris to stand trial for his
actions.
