.ELKO WINS GAME
IN TEN INNINGS

A most interesting ball game was
played yesterday at the local grounds
between a we'll balanced base ball
team from Wells and the Elko Tigers.
Elko started the run getting by scor-
ing one run in the first and in their
half of the fourth Wells managed two
scores over the plate. There were
no more runs made until the eighth
inning when Wells brought five tallies
over the home plate and 1t looked as
though they had cinched the game,
but Elko rallied in her half Of the
eighth and 1t seemed that everyone
could hit the ball at will and Elko had
five runs more to her credit, leaving
Wells still one run ahead.
In the ninth inning Elko made an
other score making the game tie and
in her half of the tenth, Olsen came
in with the running one, when there
was only one out.
In the eighth there was a dispute
as to a ball being hit being a fair or
foul ball Wells was at bat and when
the umpire called 1t a foul, the Wells
the game out, but he thought better
of it and played 1t out.
Messrs. George Riddle and Stanley
Wines officiated as umpires rotating
behind the bat.
The game was enjoyed by the small
crowd present and there should have
been a larger crowd to witness the
game, but as the weather was blustery
1t may have had something to do with
the small attendance.
The following is the score by in
nings:

Mrs. Ella Connell, who has pleaded
guilty to an attempt to poison her hus-
band and who was sentenced to a term
of from ten years to life in the peniten--
tiary at Carson City is alleged to have
said that there were others implicated
in the poisoning case, besides Joe
Bishop, and 1t is alleged that she
names Justice Of the Peace II. U. Cas-
tie. Constable H. A. McMurtrey and
Steward ]. NJ. Taber of the county
hospital.
1t Is said that Mrs Connell has told
the sheriff that Judge Castle had
drawn the will of NJ. B. Connell in her
favor and that Judge Castle had Sc
cured a divorce for her from her for
mer husband and that Castle was in
the deal to assist in getting the prop
erty OF Mike Connell.
Investigation in this respect by the
Independent shows that the only con-
nection in the case had by Judge Cas-
tie was in the purely reasonable one
of attorney for Mrs. Connell and that
Judge Castle acted only in legal ca
pacity, and from what can be learned
he had no other interest in the case
but that of attorney to a client.
In reference to Constable II. 4. Nc
Murtrey, in which Mrs. Connell brings
him into the case, the only thing dis
covered as to this connection with
Mike Connell and his convicted spouse
is that Constable McMurtrey had sug-
gested that the couple get married,
when 1t was found that they had been
living together and Constable McMur-
trey has only acted in the capacity of
an officer of the law in seeing that the
laws were not violated.
The alleged connection of J. NJ.
Taber, steward at the county hospital,
in which Mrs. Connell insinuates that
Mr.. Taber was connected with the at
tempt to poison Mr.. Connell is even
more absurd. The facts do not bear
out the statements made by Mrs. Con-
nell, and there is not a possible mo.
tive on the part of Ma. Taber which
can possibly hold and all of the alleged
statements of Mrs. Connelf seem to be
the result of a chance for immunity or
revenge and the public should hold its
Judgment on the merits of the case
until all of the facts have been heard
from every angle.
The fact that Judge J. a. Sanders
has been brought here from Tonopah
to act as special prosecutor and to
thoroughly investigate the statements
of Mrs. Connell does not tend to prove
that any Of the men mentioned are
guilty OF any crime and If there is any
foundation for the stories of the wo-
man, the matter should be taken up
Immediately and aired and give the
men mentioned a speedy opportunity
10 clear themselves Of n charge in
which there seems to be not one scin'
tilla of merit.
1t is recognized that Sheriff ]. c.
Harris is doing his full duty in the
matter by holding Mrs. Connell here
until her allegations can be probed to
the fullest extent, and 1t is evident that
the woman's statement cannot be cor
roborated in the smallest detail.
Messrs. Castle, McMurtrey and Ta
ber beaa most excellent regulations in
this community and two of them have
received the appreciation of the people
by their election to public office To
uphold the laws and there can be
found no suspicion that they have vio
lated their oaths by becoming in any
way mixed up in an affair that would

N. P. NELSON NOT
A SPECIAL OFFICER

The statement by local newspaper
that one, g. P. Nelson, had been ap-
pointed a special officer for the pur-
pose of guarding M. B. Connell, does
not seem to be borne out by the facts
in the case.
Investigation brought forth the facts
that no appointment had been made
by Sheriff ]. c. Harris or Constable
McMurtrey or has 1t been discovered
that there was any necessity for the
appointment of a special officer. Mr..
Connell Is in no personal danger and
the only fact discovered is that Mr..
Nelson has been employed by Mr.. Con-
nell to assist at the Connell home.

GARRISON BOOSTS ARMY PLAN
z-ROOSEVELT CRITICIZES

Washington, Jan. 6. -Americans
must adopt voluntary military train
ing or face CONSUMPTION. This was
Sec'y of War Garrison's warning
when he opened the army national
defense hearings before the house
military committee.
He declared a large standing army
undesirable and utterly futile" He
asserted reliance upon state militia
utterly unwarranted" as an "unsta-
BILE foundation" His continental
army plan, Garrison said, was the
only feasible alternative if compul-
sorry military training and conscrip-
ton for service is to be avoided.
eff you adopt system based on
voluntary action (the continental
army plan) and that fails, then pol
icies based on universal service or
some form of compulsory service will
be enacted as the only remaining
remedy" said Garrison.
New York, Jan. 6. The national
guard must come under federal con-
troll and the continental army pro-
posed by Sec'y of War Garrison is a
faIlacy, a makeshift and a useless
rival, according to Col. Roosevelt.
He was reported to have expressed
these views to the board of trustees
by the American Defense society in
a private address at the society's
luncheon-conference.

MOVE TOWARD SHOWDOWN IN
FENDER LAW ARGUMENT
Chief of Police Chas. c. Healey
was hit by a petition asking a writ of
mandamus to compel him to enforce
the fender law today. ft~was filed by
attorneys for a fender company.
The fender companies are entering
actively into the fight to push the
fender law after the ordinance, being
repassed five times, was slammed in
an opinion from the corporation
counseIs office. Chief Healey re-
fused to enforce the law on the
strength of this opinion.
The bill technically aims to force
the police head to issue a certificate
of approval for the Standard fen
der The enforcement of the fender
law itself, however, depends on the
result of the case.
In its petition the fender company
claims that the fender which it pro-
duces has been passed as satisfac-
tory by the committee appointed to
make fender tests. 1t recites the fen
der law with all its changes and
amendments and finally the order of
the council prepared by Aid. Otto
Kerner, which demanded that Healey
put the fender law into effect.
Thus far the fender fight has been
carried on by Aid. Kerner, who in
troduced the original order after his
aged father had been struck down
and killed by fenderless auto truck
on Christmas day, 1912.
He had the ordinance passed and
amended several times, and afte;
three years Of fighting found the law
without effect because Chief Healey
refused to enforce it.
When the fender companies offered
to try court action to bring the chief
to time, Kerner dropped the matter.
