WOMAN SHOOTS TWO MINERS
One Killed and One Injured By Mrs.

Tonopah Bonanza: Mrs. Rose
O'Connor. long notorious character
in the Newberry mining district be-
low Searchlight, Clark County, is
again in the limelight in killing af-
fray. On Sunday night she killed
one man and seriously injured an
other with a charge of buckshot.
Her motive has not yet been learned.
1t appears from the evidence that G.
A. Lane and d. M. Neblett, two
prospectors in the district, came from
their cabin early in the morning and,
after proceeding little distance,
were greeted with a volley from a
shotgun, the woman then shooting
with rifle. Neblett fell dead with
q bullet through his breast and Lane
was seriously wounded. A third
man, named Harris. appeared on the
scene and Mrs. O'Connor threatened
to shoot him also. Inasmuch as
there were no rivalries over title to
mining claims in the vicinity. the
motive for the deed is a mystery, as
the woman refuses to explain her
action.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Let NeUodo's Record Be Clean

In all games of chance there is a
winner for every loser, except where
the percentage is taken out, and then
there is one winner for consider
able number of losers. The men who
are stripped of their coin are usually
the wage earners and the money that
they are parted from would other
wise go to the landlord, the mer-
chant, the proprietor of amusement
houses, the producer and all others
engaged in legitimate industry. The
working men paid the revenues OF
the State, which revenues, obtained
from licenses, are used as an argu-
ment in favor of legitimatized gamb-
ling in Nevada. Please God, this
State will never again be enriched
by tainted money, wrung from the
women and children dependent upon
the wage Garner of the household,
nor filched from the business man
from whom credit was secured. The
old days are past. Nevada has wiped
its slate and its record must be clean.
-Tonopah Bonanza.
Good for the Bonanza. The Re-
view is glad to see such representa-
tive panar continuing its firm stand
against the gambling curse. of which
we have had a sufficiency in this
State. If we cannot prosper without
gambling, why be so foolish as to
think we can prosper with it? A
few might, but the many would not
under that premise. But we can
prosper without gambling-or any
modification of the gambling law
and will.-Clark County Review.

ADVOCATES ELECTION OF
MANY FEDERAL OFFICERS

Business men, who are the prin-
cipal patrons of the postal SER
vice, will be interested in a plan
advocated by Hon. Jonathan
Bourne. Jr., to provide for the
election, not only of postmasters,
but of other Federal officers in
the several States, such as q. 8.
marshals, district attorneys, col
lectors and appraisers of customs,
collectors of internal revenue and
registers and receivers of land
offices.
Every business man knows the
evils of the present system of
political appointment. Men are
chosen as postmasters, not be-
cause of their particular fitness
for the position or their facilities
for rendering service, but because
Of party loyalty and activity in
politics.
Merchants have seen post Of
fees removed from one end of
town to the other in spite of popu-
lar protest, in order to locate the
Office in a building owned by An
active supporter of the party in
power. They have seen individ-
uals not desired by majority Of
the people Of the community ap-
pointed to conduct the Office.
Former Senator Bourne be-
lieves that postmasters should be
selected regardless of what party
may happen to be in control Of
the National administration-that
the people of the country may
have a Democratic or Republi-
can administration, as they may
choose, but that the people of
each community should have a
postmaster of their own selection
regardless of politics.
Post offices are established and
maintained for service, not as po-
litical rewards. and the people of
each community are the best
judges of the kind of service they
want and the men most likely to
render it. Bourne argues that if
a postmaster must depend upon
the voice of the people of his
community for his retention in
Office rather than upon his effect
iveness in politics or his"pull'with
political leaders, he will give
more time and effort to improve
the character of service rendered.
Moreover, popular election of
postmasters and other Federal Of
fcers, will take away the princi-
pal power of the National politi-
cal machine which, through that
instrumentality, is able in so
many instances to dictate local
party politics.
Bourne proposes to strike at
the root of the matter by con-
stitutional amendment divesting
the President of his appointing
power and relieving the Senate OF
its duty and responsibility OF
confirming such appointments
and leave the whole problem to
the several communities, which
are chiefly and directly interest
ed in the character of service to
be rendered by their public SER

 Indiana Wins Easily

Detroit July 2S.-The Chamber of Commerce $5,000 stake for 2:07 class pacers with 14 starters-the largest number in its history-proved easy picking for Single G, the sensational Indiana horse yesterday afternoon. Gosnell drove the son of Anderson Wilkes three fast miles to win in straight heats but never could have set new record for the stake had il been necessary to capture the prize.

 Tn the first heat of the big race, Hal Boy, Hal s and Camelia were in front in the order named until the last turn of the track when Cos nell, who had held Single G in fourth place, came through with a rush and finished eased up. Single G took the lead starting the second heat, yielded it for a time to Hal s, went ahead when ready and was half length ip front of Judge Ormond at the wire. the latter coming out of the bunch under the whip to get second place by neck from Rastus. In the third heat Single G was always in front.
 Russell Boy by continual breaking delayed the start of this race for near ly half an hour. He acted so badly that the judges thought another driv- CT might improve his chances and Geers was substituted for McDaniels after the second heat. He did not better for the veteran, however.
