Former County Official
Pleads Guilty To Serious
Charge Of Grand Larceny

Because of Irregularities found in
he books of former County Auditor
and Recorder c. w. Garrison by
Special Auditor II. E. Freudenthal
and State Auditor Dan Sullivan in
formation was filed in the District
Court yesterday by District Attoreny
w E, Orr, charging the former coun-
ty official with the crime of grand
larceny The accused appeared be-
fore Judge Horsey yesterday after
and the court set this forenoon at
IL o'clock as the time for the SEN
tence
At the appointed time the defend
and was in court. District Attorney
Orr made an impassioned plea for
leniency, stating that the defendant
had made clean breast of every
thing to him and while the could
not say why he yielded to the temp
tation to extract county funds to
his own personal use, yet he made
I it clear that it was because of de-
mands made upon him from time to
time by his aged parents and other
members of his family, oftentimes
for the common necessities of life,
With these facts, and the desire
to give the defendant another chance,
to make good and become useful
citizen, the district attorney explain
ed his attitude toward leniency
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1917-09-07

Judge Horsey listened attentively
to the district attorneys address and
when he had concluded, the Judge
reviewed the case explaining the en-
ormity of the crime committed and
finally imposed a sentence Of not less
than two years nor more than four
teen years Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary, but ended his remarks
by suspending sentence upon the
stipulation that the county would be
reimbursed as soon as possible and
the defendants bondsmen relieved
of any liability The citizens who
attached their names to the bond
were: E. Kahn, A A. Carman, Joe
Powers and j. A. Nesbitt.
The discrepancies discovered by
the auditors were confined to the
Geyser, Wines Creek, Flat Nose and
High School funds, amounting to
an aggregated total of $1123.19,
The defendant declares, however,
that some of these were valid that his
liability will be reduced to between
$500 and $1,000.
The defendant has been a member
of the county official family for many
years Holding the positions of coun-
ty clerk. recorder and auditor, and
last year was elected assemblyman.
The unfortunate affair comes as a
surprise to his many friends, who re-
surprise to his many friends who re-
gret that he has made this most SER
ious error.

Commissioners Meet
In Regular Session

The county commissioners met last
Wednesday and authorized the ap-
preparation of $3.50 to the Lincoln
County Fair committee to be APPLIED
in the expense of conducting the rair.
AT the suggestion of the fair COM
mitee the board authorized Sheriff
Culverwell to appoint as many dep
uties as may be required during fair
week at Caliente.
A request was received from the
saloon men of Caliente that they be
allowed to keep their places of busi-
ness open all night during the three
days of the county fair. District At
torney Orr advised that is could not
legally be done without first repeal
ing the midnight closing ordinance.
but suggested that there be mutual
understanding that the saloons be
allowed to remain open on the three
nights specified and that no license
would be revoked. The district at
torney stated that no favoriteism
should be shown in the matter and
that all saloons saloons in the county
be allowed to continue business
through the night during the fair
days.
The contract previously entered
into between DIR. r. o. Duckwortll,
for the care of county indigents was
ordered revoked on the grounds OF
cruel and inhuman treatment of a
county patient. This grew out of the
Daily incident sometime ago.

delegation of citizens from Eagle
Valley were present to present
defnate proposition relative to the
construction and improvement of the
road between Phoebe and the Utah
state line in the vacinity Of Fay.
The spokesman for the delegation
we're Ed Lytle, William Dwyer, Joe
Hammond and Joe Hollinger. They
said that the residents of the val
ley would go fifty-fifty with the coun-
ty and guarntee to build a good hig's-'
way over the route mentioned They
figured that the road could be put
in good shape for $4,000; the county
to expend $1,000, and the people OF
Eagle and adjacent valleys the re-
mainder to be paid in labor. The
commissioners thought the proposi-
ton to be a good one and authorized
the appropriation of $1,000 from the
county road funds, to be applied as
stated. The work is to be in charge
of Ed. Lytle The delegation stated
that they had received positive as
surances from the county commits
toner's of Iron County, Utah, that
they will cooperate in the matter
and build and maintain a good high
wav between Modena and the Nevada
line. This road will give another
outlet into Utah from Phoebe and
make the best and most direct route
to Cedar City, Milford, Beaver and
Salt Lake City, where it neets
with the Arrowhead Trail.

FISH LAKE TO Be MADE
HOME Of F|NNY TRIBE

Cando, Aug. 31.-Fish Lake in the
Turtle Mountains, the haunt of fish
ermen for many years and where
some famous catches Of fish have been
made, has turned so stale that the
fishes have left for other waters or
died and the fishermen fish in vain.
The water is row very stagnant and
throws off an odor which permeates
the atmosphere for a considerable dis
lance. There is a plan being consid-
cred to give the lake some kind of an
outlet whereby the water will again
become fresh, so that it can be stock
ed. The visitors of this lake are re-
turning home with an abundance of
wild cranberries and cherries. Some
great catches of fish are reported
from Lake Dion.

Bo1LERMAKE Rs AT WORK

The strike of the G. N. boilermakers
that has been impending for the past
two weeks was settled Tuesday morn
ing and as a result there was but a
half day lost. There has been many
reports current as to what the differ
ence between the men and the rail-
road really were, some of them being
untrue. The trouble was not local
but affected every boilermaker en-
ployed by the Great Northern, the
grievance being finally adjusted at a
conference in st. Paul whereby a de-
cision was reached at ten o'clock Tues
day morning. As soon as word was
received here the boys in the local
shops went to work again.
In adjusting the difference the fol
lowing terms YER recognized by both
the union and the railroad:
Recognition Of the union; boiler.
makers to get 54h cents an hour;
eight hour day; recognition Of the
helpers; time and a half until mid.
night and double time thereafter; time
and a half for all legal holidays.

The "Wobblers" are trying to make
all kinds of trouble for the .threshers.
Threshers who have taken them out
have learned that it is no use. They
do not want to work, and their only
aim seem to be to make trouble.
James Hunt took several of them out
to work on his rig, the first Of the
week, and because his separator man
would not join their order, they drove
him right off the place. Other thresh-
ers who have taken them out have me.
with about the same success. It has
reached that stage that bafore q
thresher takes any men out he first
learns if they are 1. W. WIS, and if
such is the case they are not taken.
Frank Madden Of Edmore, one of
the big threshers in that vicinity, was
in the city Monday after some men
for his crew. He had a full crew when
he started but there were several I. w.
WIS among them with the result that
~dissention arose and five of them
were paid off before they had a chance
to start any trouble. He had been in
the city but a couple of hours when he
had enough men to fill hiscrew of the
class that twill work.. He was very
particular. about whether or not the
men had the "red CARD, and if so they
were promptly informed that he could
not use them.
