home of Mrs. r. ]. Young, mother of
Mrs Johnston, who lives on North

of the two streets he slowed down to
let the dray wagon of T. J. Evans

machines collided. His machine was
struck in the rear and was thrown
against the curhstone It fell over
on the sidewalk
The left rear wheel was broken off
and the mud guard over this wheel
was torn off. DR.. Lehr's machine was
slightly damaged. He continued on
his way, however.
Mrs. Johnston was sitting on her
mother-in-law's lap when the ma
chimes struck. The collision hurled
her against the windshield which was
a garage, and Mr.. Johnston and his
serious cuts in the face. After strill-
ing the windshield she rolled against
the dashboard, but did not fall to the
ground. Mrs. Ingram was also thrown
against the windshield and suffered
slight bruises,

limb being injured, but she did not
think it necessary to have medical aid.

a garage, and Mr.. Johnson and his
party continued on their way.

o'clock. The collision attracted a
large crowd from the stores and
homes. The collision was heard for
several blocks.
Mrs. Kleet is the daughter of Mrs.

Justice Hays Holds Farmer
for Grand Jury on Charge
of Murder.
DEFENSE'S EVIDENCE
HELD FOR THE TRIAL
Witnesses Called, but not Exam.
ined-Caruthers Opposes
Bond.

After lengthy arguments between
the prosecuting attorney and the at
torneys for the defense, James Thomp-
son was released yesterday on q bond
for $4,000 after Justice of the Peace
Hays OF Jackson had finished the pre-
liminary hearing and had bound the
defendant over to the grand jury for
further investigation. Thompson is
charged with having stabbed William
Nabe to death, Dec. %, at Christmas
party held at the Coker Schoolhouse.
After the Justice had announced
that he would hold the defendant,
Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers asked
that he be remanded to Jail without
bail His contention was that under
the circumstances an Indictment for
murder in the first degree would be ex
pected against Thompson, and that he
could not be balled out.
Hines and Hines and A. N. Sprad-
torney and the defense. The attorneys
gued that it could not be stated at this
time what the action Of the grand jury
would be, and informed the Court that
adequate bond for his appearance in
court would be given. They asked that
the Court fix the bond at $1,000.
After renewed arguments the prose
cutting attorney consented to a bond OF
$40 900, but the attorneys for the de-
Tense insisted on lower amount. The
Judge finally accepted bond to the
amount Of $4,000. Mrs. NJ. Thompson,
mother of the defendant, and Emil
Kies, his brother-in-law, signed the
bond, and Thompson, who had been
in Jail since the death Of Young Nabe,
left the court in company with his rel
atives.
The entire day was devoted to the
arguments of both the prosecuting at
torney and the defense. The attorneys
and the defense. The attorneys for
for the defendant tried to show that
Thompson acted in self-defeHse when
be stabbed Nabe, while the proSecut-
ing attorney attempted to prove that
il was murder.
The preliminary trial consumed two
days. A number of witnesses were
examined for the State on the first
day. and it was expected that the de-
fensa would hear its witnesses yeSter-
day, The attorneys, however, waived
this right and declared they were
ready for the arguments when the
hearing was resumed.
The attorneys for the defense dwelt
upon the fact that Thompson had a
wound over his eye and had a badly
bruised cheek indicating that he had
been attacked by Ssbe. The fact that
Thompson surrendered to the sheriff
and admitted readily that he had done
the stabbins was also used as an ar
sument to show that he had not conf
mitted the deed with malice, but had
merely defended himself.
Thompson's trial is docketed for the
next term of court in April.

A. q. CRANES PAROLE Is MADE
PARDON EXPEDITE HIS WORK

Complete pardon and restoration 10
citizenship has been extended by the
state board of pardons to A. G. Crane.
upon recommendation OF David T.
Day. consulting chemist Of the United
States bureau of mines. to permit him
TO pursue his researches In the extrac-
ton of oil from the shale beds OF Hum
boldt and Elko counties. In granting
the pardon Ii was the sentiment OF
the board that the interests OF the
state could be served better by re-
storing Crane TO citizenship than BY
continuing his prison sentence In
force.
During his Imprisonment Crane in
terested himself In experiments for
extraction of oil from the large shale
beds that abound n Humboldt and
Elko counties, and his experiments
were so successful that they came tc
the notice of David II. Day, consulting
chemist Of the United States bureau
Of mines at Washington. who came to
Carson City last June to investigate
the results of Cranes experiments.
Mr.. Day was so impressed with the
success of Cranes project that he In
terested himself in Cranes behalf
with the result that a parole that hat
been previously granted. was extended
into a full pardon.
One OF the considerations that led

fact that Crane could not, while In
