kI FROM J.E. SEXTON

kor SENTINEL, Eureka. Nevada
NV attention has just been called
IN two letters in the SENTINEL of the
18th. n by W. R. Reynolds and the
other by Edna Covert Plummer.
For the information of the public
and in order that no n may be un-
Justly accused Of a conspiracy. l beg
TO advise that on May 10Th last l Wis
tied Carson and while there demand
ed of the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor that the doings Of a person
or persons connected officially with
the Eureka Draft Board be investi-
gated, for the reason that a number
of people were claiming that things
were not right.
My interest in the subject began
when two different parties from this
end of the county asked me do so,
and inasmuch as I am a taxpayer
and n who is contributing his eff
forts towards exterminating the Hun
for all time, in order that l may con-
tinue possession in peace of the little
/ GEOGRAPHICALLY through the sacri-
flee of blood from the bodies of
younger men; and | am not so cow
ardly as to refrain from making a.
noise when | hear of anything that
changes the chances that were sup
posed to be allotted in the great lot
terry at Washington.
Subsequent to making the COM
plant in Carson, CASTOR Uhalde gave
me a check for $3.50, that was no
good at the bank upon which it was
drawn, and inasmuch as l had heard
his name mentioned in connection
with the handling of money to get
out or cause another to get out of
serving in his turn. l Immediately
addressed a letter to the Governor,
United States Attorney, Council of
Defense at Reno. demanding that he
or his connection with the use of
money be quickened. and the Eureka
Draft Board were not ignorant of
that fact because l transmitted to
them a copy of the letter which is on
file, where any one interested has
my permission to read it. l told the
Governor that Reynolds name had
been mentioned in connection with
the outrage, but that l knew nothing
of it personally. This act on my part
cannot be a conspiracy for the rea-
son that it takes two men to commit
that offense.
l am one who does believe that the
office of District Attorney is an Of
flee that should be held by a man,
but that does not prevent me from
seeing that Mrs. Plummer gets free
from the accusation that she had any,
thing to do with starting this case.
Mr.. Sullivan makes a correct state
ment when he says that no citizen of
the vicinity of Eureka had anything
to do with starting the Powers.
If Mr.. Reynolds is innocent the
machinery of the law will develop
that fact. Val is serious business,
whether it be carried on with gun,
money or other weapons, and it will
be we'll for every one connected with
it's prosecution to keep free from
criticism. 1t is the duty of the Gov
ernor to see that there be no criti-
cism. 1t is to him that all rumors of
misconduct should be reported. I
have done my duty.
