GOVERNOR BOYLE OPPOSED
TO CALIFORNIA WATER LAW

In the closing hours of the Seattle
conference Governor Boyle called at
tention to the need for agreement
among the states in apportioning water
for irrigation from interstate streams
He pointed ont that California law
passed two years ago prohibited the
diversion Of water from streams rising
ia California for use in another state.
Governor Boyle said that il this law
was upheld by the Supreme Court Of
the United States it would prevent the
development Of much land in Nevada.
The conference instructed Governor
Boyle to prepare a comprehensive pa
per on the subject to he Fead at the
Portland meeting, after Governor Carl
son and Ex-Governor Hawley had point
ed out that the interests of most Of the
states were divided and that Nevada s
case was exceptional.
Governor Carlson suggested that the
equitable apportionment between the
states of water from interstate streams
as provided in the settlement Of the
Kansas Colorado suit over the Arkan-
sas river several years ago was proba-
bly, the best solution.-Carson News.

MANY BUSINESS MEN

w. T. Fisher worked an old-time ad
vertising dodge in Tonopah recently,
but didn Il get away with it. He worked
quite few business men, who would
not consider advertising of a legiti-
mate sort in the columns of newspa-
per, but who fall for all the grafters
who come along. His system was to
display a silk banner, divided into aa-
vertising spaces These were to be fill
ed with the names of the business
houses and placed in hotel rooms.
Fisher gathered in the shekels, for
he told the advertisers that he had 20
pay the printer in advance and he had
to collect II advance. As a matter OF
fact, he did 90 to job office and ask
ed to have the work done on credit,
but was refused. Instead Of paying for
the work with the money he had coll
lected, Fisher left town. He was locat-
ed in Reno by Chief Evans who left
this morning TO bring him back for
trial-Bonanza.

tLK0 CONVICT KILLED
WHILE ATTEMPTING ESCAPE

The following account of the shoot
ing of MCGOWAN at the penitentiary is
taken from the Carson Appeal:
Charles B. McGowan, prisoner at
the Nevada state penitentiary, made
an attempt to escape at 8:15 this morn
ing, which resulted in his almost in
slant death.
MCGOWAN was brought to the insti-
tuition Monday of this week by Deputy
Sheriff Lamon of Elko county to begin
the serving of an indeterminate SEN
tence of from one to five years on >
convection for burglary. Almost from
the moment of his incarceration he dis
played an unruliness that presaged
trouble for the prison officers Yester-
day he was given some new clothes and
almost at once began tearing them up.
For this infraction of rules he was COM
mitted to the dungeon, where he re-
mained last night. This morning he
was released, turned loose in the yard
and given a new pair of overalls by
one of the guards. Tucking the clothes
under his arm he at once made for the
east wall of the yard and clambered to
the top. A number of the guards yelled
at him, but he gave no heed to their
cries, and as he reached for the wire
netting that surmounts the wall three
shots were fired, one of them striking
him just above and to the left of the
left nipple. Passing through the upper
part of both lungs the bullet came out
on the right side of the body, little
below the armpit. MCGOWAN fell as the
shot struck him and when the guards
reached him he was still alive but un-
conscious. He was taken to one of the
outbuildings and laid on cot, where
he died in less than ten minutes Me-
Gowan was fired at by two guards, but
there is doubt as to which one i'm
| f1ieted the fatal wound.
Word of the shooting was Immediate
| ly telephoned to Carson and Deputy
Coroner Evans impaneled jury and
started at once for the institution.
When all necessary functions had been
gone through with, the jury retired and
soon brought in a verdict declaring
that MCGOWAN had been killed by un-
named guards while he was making an
attempt to esacpe. The guards were
exonerated from all blame.
