Bad Accident

Harvey Follett, employed as brake
man on the Virginia & Truckee, met
with an accident on last Friday even
ing that nearly cost him his life. As
the freight train was coming through
the sand cut just west of Carson on

the Carson Appeal.
The train was going at pretty good
speed and Follett was not missed
by the train crew uAtils they were
near the Indian school, when a
search was made for him and II
was found that he was at his home
having recovered from the shock OF
the fall. and although severely bruis-
ed and cut up and suffering from his
injuries he made his way home with
much difficulty.
While no bones were found broken
he is bandly burised about the legs
and other portions of his body, which
will keep him in bed for week or so

basketball teams of the Douglas high
school went to Virginia City and met
the school teams of that city The
boys easily defeated the Comstock
lads the final score being 37-12 in
their favor. The girls team how
ever. did not find their opponents so
easy, and were defeated by the mar
row margin of 1912. Both games
were full of excitement and some very
clever plays were made by the basket
shooters on both sides. l.. Ross
johnson accompanied the boys team
as coach. while Miss kreuger and
Miss Richards accompanied the girls.

WANT NAMES
TAKEN FROM
DRY PETITION

The Record-Courier learns that
many men and women who signed the
prohibition petition presented to the
Nevada Legislature are about to take
steps to have their names taken from
the document. Already two women
and one man from this county, have
written to the Secretary of State or
Legislature to have their names taken
from the petition, claiming that they
did not fully understand the COM
plete meaning of the document at the
time they affixed their signatures.
They were informed by Secretary of
State Brodigan that the petition had
left his hands and was now in the
keeping of the judiciary committee OF
the legislature. 1t is said that within
the next few days about twenty of the
signers of the petition living in this
county will request that their names
be taken from the petition.
A report reached Gardnerville from
Carson late yesterday afternoon to the
effect that similar condition exists
in many of the counties throughout
the state and it is expected that with
in the next few days the judiciary
committe will be flooded with re-
quests to remove names from the pc
tition.
The saloon men of Nevada are get
ting active and 1t is claimed will
urge the passing of law at this ses-
sion of the legislature for the better
ment of saloon conditions. Among
the reforms to be asked for is a II
o'clock closing law; making it an of.
Tense to sell liquor to anyone in
toxicated or habitual drunkard
The better element of saloon men also
favor restrictions being thrown
around dives and notorious resorts
that will result in wiping them out
In other words they stand for decent
conduct of the saloon business, ant
hope to bring about reforms during
the next two years that will win fol
them the right to exist and defeat tn,
dry movement.

FEDERAL GRAND
JURY MAKES
SUGGESTION

Declaring the present system OF
handling all cases concerning viola
tions OF the law relative to the illegal
sale of liquor to Indians as farcical
the Federal grand jury presented a
resolution to the United States Judge
harrington. urging that Congress
Congress make material changes In
the procedure.
The resolution set forth that thirty
three cases of whiskey selling to In
dians had been considered and that
in every case the testimony against
the various defendants was submit
ted by the arresting officer.
II was urged that Nevada repre-
sentatiyes IN Congress take action
toward securing amendments to the
present laws whereby violators OF
the law would be taken before United
States commissioners and have their
cases disposed of by these officials,
instead of burdening an additional
expense on TIE government by re-
qn:ring grand jury action and subse-
qnent trials in the Federal courts.
Prior to presenting the resolution
the grand jury completed the consid-
GRAFTON OF thirty-three cases Twenty
nine indictments were returned and
four charges ignored The jury was
discharged

judiciary committee.
Doubts concerning the legal possi-
bility of legislative action on the pro-
posed prohibition initiative petition
now before the assembly judiciary
committee. have been expressed by
several members of the legislature.
The absence of an enacting clause in
the petition. 1t is explained, may pre-
clnde consideration OF the matter by
the present legislature. This, how
ever. will not prevent the question 60
ing on referendum ballot. although
the legality OF the Issue, should it
meet with favor at the hands of the
people, may be doubted The cause
of the doubt, it is pointed ont, is due
TO an error in the referendum enact
ing clause.
However. the supporters of the
petition declare that the document is
drawn in perfect compliance with the
law and they have nothing to fear.

faults which may be classified as bad

war at the rate Of Sc, 1900, 100000 year.
At the end Of some scores of years tho
financial debt of Germany might be
wiped out by such payments, but the,
centuries will not avail to pay the
world for the other losses occasioned
by the war, says Houston Post. And

the suffering Of women and children
there is no recompense for these Prus-

long as the world shall endure-a debt
that never can be paid.
