GUM-CHEWING

We are little late with Lenten sug-
gestions, but it would not be entirely
without benefit for gum-chewing to
be given up, even at this late hour.
The sight of girl or boy chewing
gum is one of the most frankly dis
gushing.
In Chicago they have found out that
good many throat diseases have
come from gum chewing among school
children. Swapping" is still prac-
ticed, it appears, in spite of the
shocked denials of parents of chill
dren from good homes" And the
way in which wads of gum are pasted
to the under side of school desks-to
be re-chewed by the owner or a usurp-
er later-is proved effectually conduc-
i've to the spread of disease.
These hygienic reasons ought to be
of sufficient weight to stop an offensive
practice that is most disfguring,
most inexcusably vulgar.

JOHN v. HENRY A SUICIDE.

John V. Henry. about thirty-one
years of age. and a life long respected
citizen of this county, committed sui
eide on Tuesday last by shooting him
self directly through the forehead with
a forty-five caliber double action re-
volver.
Mr.. Henry was born in Cherry Creek
and lived in that town practically all
his life until short time ago when he
moved to Ely and has since resided at
the Lawler house which is conducted
by his mother and stepfather. Mr.. and
Mrs John r. Howard. Mr.. Henry had
seemed despondent for some time past
but his friends and relatives did not
imagine that his dependency was 80
serious as 1t proved to be.
On Tuesday evening Mr.. Howard tried
to induce Mr.. Henry to eat when the
usual time for the evening meal arriv-
ed. Mr.. Henry refused to eat and
seemed to be In a very morose state
of mind. While Mr.. Howard was talk
ing to him he suddenly drew the re-
volver from his belt. and raising 1t to
his forehead with both hands fired a
bullet directly through his head and
fell to the floor dead. Mrs. Howard
who has been in poor health for some
time was visiting with her daughter
at Tuscarora. She was Immediately no.
titled and arrived in Ely on Thursday
night. The funeral took place on Fri
day from the undertaking parlors of
Wilson Bates and was attended by an
unusually large number Of friends and
relatives of the deceased. Mr.. Henry
came from one of the most highly re-
spected families in this section of the
country and no cause can be assigned
for his rash act. other than general des-
pondaney A careful inquiry into the
matter was made by District Attorney
Jurich and Judge Edwards. but the
fact that Mr.. Howard was an eye wit
ness to the sad affair made the work
comparatively easy.

JUDGE McFADDEN HOLDS
COURT IN WINNEMUCCA

Judge c. ]. McFadden left for Win
nemucca this morning where he will
probably be engaged until about the
first of the year on the trial of The
State of Nevada against Bernard Clark
which will be opened tomorrow MORN
ing.
The Clark case is one of the most
noted criminal cases in the history of
the state. 1t was tried about six years
ago and Clark was convicted. Uuon
an appeal to the Supreme Court new
trial was at first refused. but later
on rehearing the first decision of the
highest tribunal in the state was re-
yersed and the new trial was granted.
During the six years In which the legal
fight has been going on Clark has been
In the state prison. The murder is al
legged to have been the result of a
quarrel over some mining property. 1t
is not contended that Clark did the ac-
tual shooting, but that he gave certain
signals by which the fatal shots were
fired The party who did the actual
shooting escaped and was not captured.
Judge Ducker of Winnemucca was Dis
trict Attorney at the time of the first
trial, and is therefore disqualified to
try the case. 1t Is the third trip Judge
McFadden has been obliged to make
to the western part of the state in the
last few months. and 1t is indeed a
flattering compliment to our local jur-
ist that he should be chosen to preside
In such an important case.
