CANNOT RESTORE
"BAck HAUL" RATES.

WASHINGTON, April 20-Satisfied
that they have spiked the guns Of the
railroads in their efforts to restore the
old back haul conditions, under which
Nevada cities had to pay freight rates
aggregating the rate from San Francis
co plus the rate from San Francisco to
the Nevada cities, Judge III. Bartine,
chairman Of the Nevada railroad eommis
sion and Secretary Edward Walker, OF
that commission are on their way home,
after a short but busy visit to the cap
ital.
Judge Bartine and Mr.. Walker spent
most oft heir time while here at the
offices of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, where as chairman of the Ne
vada railroad commission, the Judge
showed what an injury would be worked
against the Nevada cities If the rail
roads were permitted to make rates to
the coast from the east so much lower
tnan to points in Nevada.
Some years ago Judge Bartine point
ed out in discussing the question in
Washington, the Interstate commerce
commission knocked out the full back
maui chdrSe, the very tnlnS Ihe railIoaos
are now trying to restore. The COM
merce court did not sustain the com
mission but the Supreme court did
Later, however, the railroads managed,
Judge Bartine said, to get about 80 per
cent of WHAT hey wanted, and now they
are after the other ten per cent.
While they were in town Judge Bar
tine and Mr. Walker had lunch with
Senator Newlands, the only member OF
the Nevada delegation in congress still
in the capital. They talked over the
rate situation, in which Senator New
lands was most interested, as he is
chairman Of the Senate Interstate Com
merce committee. He promised to do
all in his power for them. Y

GOVERNOR SHOULD KEEP
BETTER POSTED ON PRISON

In recent interview, replying to crit
icisms directed at him because of his
action in making certain changes in the
state police and prison departments,
Gov. Boyle in defending the appointment
of d. S. Dickerson as head of botn,
bodies declared that the warden's work
had been done without scandal, without
escapes and without trouble of any kind.
The governors statement is nice,
little compliment for Mr.. Dckerson but
the records do not bear him out Let
us see. The records referred to show:
Mayt. 1913, Jinl Ross, No.1519, escap-
ed from the prison farm. He was ar
rested in Idaho on the 2Sth of the fol-
lowing month.
August A. 1913, Thomas Brady. No. las
escaped from the prison farm. He was
arrested two days later near Washoe
City by Sergeant Stone and returned
to the penitentary.
May "a, 1914, Floyd Crawford, No. 1926
escaped from the prison farm.
June 4, 1914, F. Martinez, No. $780, e
capped from the prison farm.

BRIGHTEN CITIZENS

Two distinct earthquake shocks were
felt In Phoebe last Monday forenoon.
The first tremor occurred at $40 O'Clock
and was followed a few minutes later
by another less severe. While no dam
age to porperty was reported, the first
shock was severe enough to cause the
windows to rattle and set the dishes
to moving in the cupboards Many peo-
pie were so frightened that they ran
out into the street for safety Even
Postmaster Carman, who was working
at the telegraph key when the trembler
came, dropped everything and fled. The
county officials at the court house
stampeded for fear that the old rock
building would be shaken to piecesa

Justice Court Cases

In Justice Harris court this weelt
W.S. Cannon was found guilty Of petit
larceny and fined $50 which was paid.
TIE defendent, who claims possession
of certain tract of land in Camp val
ley by reason of alleged abandonment
by Haight brothers, used some hay from
a stack left by the Haights last fall.
and for this act was placed under arr
rest. He declared to Judge. Harris how
ever, that he had replaced the hay
but the court took the view that crime
had been committed, and, in his mind,
one worse than that set forth in the
complaint.
The deiendent gave notice of appeal
The Haight boys have not given up a
fight for the land in question and
while Cannon was in town they made
fast drive to Camp valley to get pos
session while Cannon was absent and
with the object of keeping him off the
land when he returned Cannon hav-
ing heard Of the movement, hired an
automobile to take him to Eagle val
ley, where he saddled up his horse and
went on to Camp valley. 1t is pre-
| sumed that inasmuch as the Haight
boys had considerable the start that
they reached the ranch ahead of Gam
mon.
The Haights do not acknowledge the
abandonment of the property. While
they were away during the winter, they
ploued ground last fall with the inten-
ton of returning in the spring. The
land has never been thrown open for
entry, but they claimed possessory
rights.
Charged With Assault
W. S. Cannon has Sworn to a COM
plaint charging Isaac c. Haight with
assault and battery and a warrant has
been placed in the hands of Sheriff
Ronnow. The case is the outgrowth
of the dispute over the possession Of
!. certain parcel Of land in Camp val-
ley. The assault took place in Camp
vGlley several days ago.
