FEDERAL JURY TO
HAVE MANY CASES.

The federal gand Jug. which is to
convene at Cason City on September
20, will have about go cases to act
upon, according to a statement made
by William WOODBURY.. United States
attorney for Neveada. Most of these
cases will be of the "whiskey-to-In-
dian variety. There will be three
white slave cases. Is prosecutions
for violations of the Harrison drug
act and six postofice cases.
One of the most important and
technical cases of the lot will be the
trial of p. J. Reynolds, formerly post
master of Sparks. charged with a
shortage of over $500. The case
has become more complicated by the
recent receipt from the postoffice de-
partment by Attorney WOODBURY. OF
an auditors report showing that the
time the alleged shortage occurred
the government owed Reynolds over
$500. At the time Reynolds was ar
rested the same auditor transmitted
a report showing a shortage by Rey-
nolds of over $500. Reynolds books
showed a shortage and he signed a
written statement acknowledging a
shortage, at the same making good
the amount his books showed him to
be short. 1t is not contended by the
government officials that Reynolds
shortage resulter from any intention
on his part to convert government
funds, the crime being of a technical
nature.
The Hayes p~ostofice robbery at Ma
tional is another trial of more than
passing interest. The National office
was robbed and an examination of the
books later showed a shortage ap-
parently had existed.

WOMAN As JURORS Is
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

For the last two or three days the
county officials have been busy with
the duties of drawing the yenire OF
the jurymen who are to serve for the
next term on both the trial and
grand %juries. says the Elko Free
Fress. The state has recently be-
come a woman suffrage n and the
thought as to whether women can
serve on juries has haunted many and
many a woman for the past few
months, for some women have more
horror than men from serving on a
Jury and many women would refuse
to serve If they thought that there
was a chance for them to pass on
murders.
Women will be freed from the
worry of serving Is jurors for this
e a at least for it will take until
1916 to get them upon the voting list
from which they can be drawn. So II
will be probably about the first OF
January until the first woman will
gradually commence their service up
on the juries of the state of Nevada.
The law exempts married women
from jury service, probably reason
ing that a married woman's duties
begin at home before they are due
the state. and although If a married
woman wishes she may serve when
chosen. yet the fact that she is mar
ried will exempt her from serving II
she does not wish. School teachers
of both exes are exempt from duty
also.
