STRANGER is FOUND DEAD
IN ELKO HOTEL

A man by the name of ". F. Ben
nett was found dead in bed in the
Elko hotel Sunday afternoon, and
the indications point very strongly
to suicide. He came to Elko a few
DAYS ago from Salt Lake City and
engaged a room at the Elko hotel,
says the Free Press.
When repeated knocking at his
door failed to elicit any response the
door was broken open and he was
found lying in bed wrapped in the
deep slumber of death. No evidence
of any struggle could be seen and
at first it was thought that he had
died of heart failure, but on search
ing his effects a number of capsules
we're found that contained cyanide
of potassium, and it is TO- believed
that he was a victim of self destruc-
ton. A glass of water was found on
a chair by the bedside, partly emp
tied, by the side of which was an en-
velope containing the poison, and 1t
is thought he took a capsule. washed
1t down with a drink of water and
lay down calmly to await certain
death, which would come instanta-
neous with the dissolution OF the
geletine capsule, as this poison is the
most effective M6wn and causes in
slant death.
From letters in his pockets it was
found that his parents lived at Al
toona, Pa, and a telegram to them
brought the immediate reply to ship
the body back east. 1t is said that
his father is a we'll to do business
man of that place, and that the dead
man, who is 3s years old, has been
a wanderer, having served in the
| United States cavalry.

RJRY RESERVE WILL
CRAZE BIG LOT OF STOCK

The allotment of grazing privileges
on the Ruby National Forest has just
been completed.
There were 147 applications for
permits to Craze a total OF 2O,z4o
head of cattle and horses on the For
est. One hundred and thrifty applica-
lions were approved for 16,40O head
of cattle and horses, the total num-
Der authorized to Craze by the secre-
tary. Sixteen applications from new
owners were approved. Permits for
about 1900 head of cattle n horses
will be temporary.
Twenty applications were received
to Craze a total of 1880 head oil
sheep of which thirteen will be ap-
proved for a total of $4,000 head. the
total number authorized by the secre-
tary.
In addition to the above temporary
permits will be issued for about 1000
head of sheep on account of unsur-
veyed railroad lands. and free per-
mits on account of private lands for
1000 head of sheep and 1900 head OF
cattle and horses.
The grazing situation is somewhat
complicated on the Ruby National
Forest owing to the presence within
its boundaries of such a large amount
of railroad land, and the necessity
the Forest Service is under of re-
stricting the approval of grazing ap-
plications to the number of stock
that the permanent forest lands will
safely carry. This can be better I'M
derstood when 1t is known that 1t Is
the policy of the Forest service to
issue free permits to owners OF pri-
vate lands within the Forests for the
class of stock to which the range is
best adapted, upon the application OF
the owner of the private lands, ac-
companied lby a waiver of its exclu-
sive use. The southern limit of the
Central Pacific land grant enters the
eastern boundary of the Forest two
miles south of the north line of town
ship "a In Glover Valley. leaves the
Forest one mile south of the w. H.
Helth ranch in Pole canyon, re-enters
one mile north of the Robinson ranch
in Ruby Valley and crosses the west
ern boundary near the Hardesty
ranch one mile north of Lee creek.
Under the land grant, every section
of non-mineral land becomes the
property of the railroad when identi-
fled by public land survey. Pending

such Identification the Forest service
has jurisdiction over the lands, and
issues grazing permits for their use
Such permits are temporary in char
acter, subject to cancellation when
the lands are covered by public lands
survey. approximately As per cent
of the Forest area within the limits
of the land grant is surveyed, and
last summer the field work of survey
was completed on the Glover noun
tains. This is to be extended each
year until all of the railroad lands
on the Ruby mountains are surveyed.

RECORD PROVES the
COUNTY COURT OIO
ALLOW COMMISSION
CONTINUED from First Page,

that commission thereon OF one and
one-half per cent be allowed for ex-
penses of sale. The bonds could not
be sold on these terms and at the next
term the following appears:
January term. 1909, Minutes "S."
page 1874, the court ordered the issu-
ance of s175,O0O bonds at four per
cent and the sum of $4,000 was appro-
priated for expenses or commissions
for issuance thereof. This order was
adopted on roll call by vote of six
teen to five. The melton was made
by Judge Erwin. The warrant to
which attention is called by Mr.. Wilkes
was for $4,000 or $500 under the ap-
preparation.
That there was no secrecy about the
matter; that every one understood 1t
at the time Is shown by reference to
the files of The Herald. The Herald
of January II, 1909, under flaming
headlines says: County Court Funds
its Debt; Accepts Proposition from
Chicago Firm for Commission Of s4,-
90O." The account of the courts pro-
ceedings show that Col. Joseph F.
Brownlow, of the Maury National
Bank, and Col. Joseph L. Hutton, OF
the Phoenix National Bank, both ap-
peared before the court and urged
that the proposition be accepted.
The county was then paying six per
cent on $175,0eO, which was $10,50O per
annum. 1t could not sell its four per
cent bonds at par. But by allowing a
commission or premium or fee to the
purchaser of $4,000, 1t could sell them
at par. This was simply the interest
saving for one and one-half years. As
matter OF fact, the county has saved
by this sale two per cent on $175,O00
since March, 1909, a period Of over
seven years. Now that is $500 year
or in seven years it is s24,50O. After
deducting the $4,000 commission al
legged to have been wrongfully paid
this leaves a net savings to the county
by the funding of the bond in the sew

ANDY LOVE IS
KILLED BY BAKER
SHOOTING OCCURRED SUNDAY
EVENING AT LATTERs HOME
IN HICKMAN COUNTY.

News was received here this morn
ing from Shady Grove and Hampshire
announcing the killing of Andy Love.
white man, about As or so years of
age, by John Baker, a young man
about rs years of age. The killing
occurred Sunday evening late at the
home of Bill Baker, who lives Just over
the Maury county line in Hickman,
on the farm of Sam Hoover.
1t seems that Love went to the Ba.
Ker home in a drunken condition and
it is said, attempted to run everybody
away from home, except one of the
Baker girls. This enraged young Ba
ker, who secured shotgun and emp.
tied the contents into Loves breast
The body lay out all night Sunday
night in the rain and was not taken
charge of until this morning, when
young Baker went to an officer and
gave himself up, telling the officer
what he had done.
Baker was taken to Centreville,
where he was lodged in Jail awaiting
the preliminary hearing. Love has .
wife and four or five children, and up
to the time of the killing there had
not been any i'll feeling between the
families as far as is known. John
Baker is the son of Bill Baker, who
has large family of children.
