Sam Bachman, who it is alleged
stole a number of horses from an
Elko County rancher, is having his
trial at Elko. The State sought to
put Lou Duval. who confessed to his
share in the crime. on the stand to
testify against Bachman, but the de-
fendant's attorneys objected on the
ground that the confession of an ac-
complice could not be legally used
against the defendant and that a
conspiracy must be first proven.
The objection was sustained by Judge
McFadden. Duval was later per-
mitted to tell the whole story and
explained how the brands had been
changed on the stolen stock.

DEATH OF JOHN n. ROSEvEAR
Former Eureka County Resident Passes
Away in Cornwall, England

Thomas Rosevear, of Preston. on
Tuesday last received telegram an
nouncing the death of his brother,
John H. Rosevear, at the old family
home at Redruth. Cornwall, England.
The deceased was resident of Me-
vada for more than thirty years. He
first came to Eureka in 1880 and four
years later moved to Hamilton where
he made his home until about three
years ago when on account of failing
health he returned to his old home in
England, thinking that the change
to lower altitude might be benefi-
cial. Such relief as he gained, was,
however, only temporary. 1t is the
belief of his brother that the asthma
and kindred troubles which finally
caused Mr.. Rosevear's death were
brought on at first by the dreaded
"Delamar dust" encountered in the
mines of Delamar where Mr.. Rose
wear worked for time when young
man.
Mr.. Rosevear was about So years
of age. He followed both mining
and ranching while resident of this
county. and was well known to the
older residents, among whom the
news of his death will be received
with sincere regret. Besides his
brothers, Thomas Rosevear. of Pres
ton and James Rosevear, of Hamil-
ton, he leaves an aged mother. two
brothers and one sister in England
to mourn his death.-Ely Record.

schools of Nevada in good shape.
progressive. and the school spirit at
a higher point than ever before in its
history. says the Carson News. He
admits that in some of the smaller
places the schools have shortcomings,
which are being remedied as rapidly
as the means at hand permit. The
demand for good teachers is large.
and the schools all over the State are
giving more attention to manual
training, domestic science, and the
practical side of education than has
been the rule heretofore. Boys are
being taught to handle tools. girls TO
cook, keep house and all such things,
and as a rule they take great inter-
est in this part of their education.
Agriculture and Commercial courses
are carried on in all the high schools
except two. and in several of the ele-
nentary schools.
In spite of Nevada's reputation for
spending money with lavish hand
where education is concerned. = Mr..
Bray says that there are many i'm
provements which are hoped for, but
which are not made as yet for lack
of funds to carry out the aims of
those in authority.
