DUNBAR INDICT.
MENTS SUFFICIENT

In the case of ii. Howard Dunbar,
against whom three indictments were
returned by the grand jury for en-
bezzlement in conjunction with A. G..
Crane. president of the Interstate
Life Insurance company. Salter e.
Robins moved TO quash the three in
dictments on the ground that mem
hers of the grand jury were preju-
diced. This morning the motion was
denied. when counsel interposed de-
murrers to the indictments, on the
ground that they did not allege facts
sufficient to constitute a crime The
matter was argued this afternoon,
and at its conclusion Judge Ducker
stated that while it was a close ques-
tion. he would hold the indictments
sufficient and made an order over
ruling the demurEers.
Arguments were then commenced
on a demurrer to the fourth indict-
ment charging defendant with OBJ
tanning $1,000 by false pretense,
which had not been concluded as the
Silver State goes to press.

CARLIN LADY WISHES TO
BE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

One of the gratifying evidences of
woman's appreciation of the ballot
and her proper use of it is the readi-
ness of women who are prominent So
cially and queens of ideal homes to
assume the obligations of office for
the sole purpose of establishing jus
tice and improving the public ser
vice. says the Elko Independent.
Mrs. w. T. Mcneil of Carlin, wife
of the editor of the Western Home
Builder, is a candidate for justice of
the peace in that precinct.
If Carlin is so fortunate as to elect
Mrs. Mcneil. it will thereby be given
a vigorous boost and win benefit il
many ways. A town governed by the
best people, with justice administer
ed by a true, good woman, is obliged
to be prosperous and progressive.
Men should not attempt to monopo-
lize the public offices. Besides, wo-
men are better fitted than men for
certain public service. woman
judge, actuated by a high sense of
justice and profound patriotism, NOV
ed always by a deep sense of civic
duty and responsibility, is sure to be
superior and impartial in the en-
forcement of the laws.
Mrs. McNeirs editor-husband was
grumpy at first because she yielded
to the opportunities of her friends
and announced her candidacy. but, as
he says, he soon became ''reconciled."
Good for him, and lucky, too, per-
haps, for Mrs Mcneil is likely to be
eIected and then She might "6x" him

The grand jury adjourned Thurs
day evening, after submitting its final
report to Judge Ducker, as follows:
we submit this as our final report
OF business now pending. but may, at
some later session. submit another
report on business that may occur
between the date Of this report and
the expiration of the year 1916:
at appearing to the grand jury
that unlawful gambling is being car
ried on in the places of business of
G. Arobio 4 Bro, A. Henrickson and
Gallagher & Brown of the town of
Lovelock, we respectfully recommend
and direct that the county commits
sioners at their November meeting
revoke the licenses of the above mem
toned parties. II is further recon-
mended that the board of commits
sioners act similarly in respect to all
other persons who may permit un-
lawful gambling in their places of
business. We compliment Officer
Wolf of Lovelock on his diligence and
faithful performance of duty in bring
ing these matters before the grand
jury and recommend that other Off
GERS around the county show the
same diligence as Officer Wolf.
I'VE recommend that the office OF
county game warden be abolished.
We believe that this is an unnecessa-
ry waste of county funds and that
each peace officer of the county
should be made eX-officio game war
den of his respective district without
any increase in salary.
I'VE recommend that the officers of
Winnemucca be more diligent in the
enforcement of the recent ordinance
passed by the county commissioners
as TO the speed limit and reckless
driving of automobiles.
I'm the case of State VS.. Silverio

The Independence mine at Carrizo
made large shipment of ore to the
Pueblo smelter this week, by wagon to
Lamar and by Santa Fe to Pueblo.
The mine is able to take out ore right
along at present copper prices in
spite of heavy transportation charges.
H. f. Fosdick of Pueblo has been
spending some time in Lamar trying
to secure naval recruits but is having
very small success. Our people are
willing to have a big navy if some
body else mans the boats, but the
wages are too small to induce boys to
leave the farm.
