MRS. 1OUNG lNDICA ES MULTI
SCHOOL MONEY is MISUSED
Salary allowances for a dead man
and for teachers who have left the
service are included in the school ex-
pense estimate of the bureau of au-
dit, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young told school
trustees yesterday afternoon.
Fred c. Locard, instructor in
French at Hyde Park high school,
died last December. Mrs. Young says
she reported his death to the board
on Dec. %, yet she says his name is
retained on the salary list in the
boards estimate.
I'VE have further found in at least
eight instances that the auditors es-
Inmates contain salaries for teachers
who have left the service and at the
same time allow salaries for the
teachers who filled their vacancies.
This" says Mrs. Young, lis a clear
duplication. The amount involved
may reach 100000"
Citing an instance of salary dupi-
cation Mrs. Young said: I'm the Beale
school Miss Sue Mansfield left the
service Jan. II. In the superinten-
dents estimate allowance was made
for the salary of the successor of Miss
Mansfield. The audit bureaus esti-
mate includes salaries for both Miss
Mansfield and her successor"
Addressing teachers at the ,Wom-
ans City club, Mrs. Young said:
Il disputed an item of $4,000 a
year for washing school towels. am
sure it ought not to cost more than
5000 a year. l think teachers as
well as pupils might bring their own
towels
1--WE do that now," interrupted
teacher.
Then you are not getting all that
is coming to you" said Mrs. Young.

Cannot Purchase
Jury Exemption


A trial jury reported recently in
the district court at Winnemucca and
upon roll call it was found that six
men had paid $25 each for exemption
from jury duty. six had not been
served, while five were excused for
various periods, ranging from one
day to the term. Judge Ducker
as ked that District Attorney Powell
recommend TO the County Commits
sioners that they place all names of
men who had obtained exemption by
the payment of $25 on the jury list
for next year. The court stated that
this exemption had been authorized
by an obsolete law, which applied
only to jurors living more than 60
miles from the county seat, and was
intended to include only those who
lived beyond the reach of telephones
and telegraph; that at present there
was no more reason for a Lovelock
lror claiming the exemption than
one living in Winnemucca.-Silver

ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
High School Literary Society Presents
Mock Trial and Acquits Defendant.

Last Friday afternoon. there was
meetings of the High School Literary
Society for the purpose of holding a
mock trial.
1t seem that on the night of Dec. IL,
1914, Norville Johnston had skated
with Miss Mary McEntee until weak
spot in Lake YearseIy's ice caused
them both to break through. Charges
were brought against Mr.. Johnston ac-
cusing him of intent to murder by
drowning. Homer Eimers, a well
known lawyer of the high school, was
retained by Mr.. johnson to defend him.
Evidence introduced by the prosecu-
ton showed that defendant had sent
plaintiff note in which he threatened
to kill her. But counter evidence was
produced by the defence in the form of
love letter written by the plaintiff
to a sweetheart in Spokane. This let
err contained a plot to remove defend
ant from the way in order that the
lovers might be welded in peace. A
sensation was caused when the plain
] tiff swore that the letter was forgery
drawn up by Miss Longfellow. Later
developents in the case, however, show
ed that it was the plaintiff who sug-
gested to the defendant that they skate
near the weak spot and it was her
fault that they fell in Mr.. Eimers, in
his final plea to the jury, asserted
among other things that defendant
could not murder plaintiff had he been
so inclined, inasmuch as he was much
smaller and weaker than she. The jury
then adjourned and, after a brief con
sultation, brought in verdict of not
guilty. Judge James Yates, com
menting on the verdict, said: "In all
my forty years of experience at the
bench, no case more atrocious than this
has ever been brought before me. Let
this be warning to you, young man
and never let me see you before me
again"
