Take eANegianceOath

Rev M. j. O'Reardon, Harry Tam
hyn and Thos. K. .Eustice were ad-
mitted to citizenship by Judge Nc
Fadden In the district court yester-
day afternoon. Owing TO the fact
that Special Naturalization Examiner
Idttleton was delayed In reaching
Ely and could not wait to personally
conduct the examination, the court
appointed J. M. Isockhart, who con-
Quoted the matter on the part of the
United States. Owing to the fact
that many were postponed at the re-
quest of Examiner Litteton by re-
ason of the fact that their petition
were either not supported by proper
proof or other technical matters, the
class facing the court and Examiner
Lockhart was unusually small, but
the three applicants passed excellent
examinations showing a thorough
knowledge of the working of our
government and in every manner
proved themselves the proper sort
of timber from which our best citi-
zens are made. Following the TAX
Ing of the oath OF allegiance to the

mitted citizens. Counsellor c.. A.
Eddy delivered an able and patrio-
tic address In which he reviewed the

In protecting the glory of our flag

drinking freely and in the early
morning hours some one in tire
place where she was employed asked
her to sing. She said that she would
a little later and walked out the

VICTIM OF SERBIAN
DIES FROM WOUNDS

The body of Anthony Wells, the
unfortunate young man who was
stabbed by Sam Jukich, an Austrian
In the western section of the city
last saturday night, as told in the
News last Sunday morning, is still
being held at the undertaking parlors
OF Wilson-Bates, awaiting positive
naturalization.
The many friends of the unfor-
tunate young man have taken an
active interest In the matter, and
particularly those employees of the
Nevada Northern Railway with whom
he was closely associated. The ad-
dress of relatives given at the time
of his employment here was in Chi
cago, but messages sent to that ad-
dress we're undelivered. Further
wires were sent to persons with
whom he had been In correspon-
dence as shown by the papers found
among his personal effects, and 1t
is now thought positive that his
mother is alive and residing in Mich
igan City. Indiana. The description
as telegraphed by the mother tallies
exactly with that of the young man
whose remains are now being held
here, but according to the directions
given by Mrs. Wells the body will
not be shipped by the undertakers
until the arrival OF a photograph
which is now on it's way here in the
mail. BY this II is thought the
young man will be positively iden-
titled and the remains will then be
shipped home.
The sheriff's force are exerting
every effort to locate the assassin,
but up to date have failed, although
they are satisfied he is still in the
district.

made for the capture OF Jukich
