DR.. SULLIVAN HELD
/. ON PERJURY CHARGE

DIR. j. j. Sullivan. former superin-
tendent of the state insane asylum,
must go to trial on q charge Of per-
jury brought against him by the
Storey county grand jury as a result
of testimony given by him in the con-
test over the will of the late Julia
Strother. District Judge Langan has
definitely overruled demurrer to the
indictment and required the accused
physician to plead The plea prob
ably will be entered Immediately after
motion which is being argued is
disposed Of The plea undoubtedly
will be not guilty.
AS soon as the demurrer, which
raised numerous points, had been
overruled, Attorney p. A. McCarran,
representing Sullivan, presented mo-
ton for the return to Sullivan of
numerous papers used as exhibits in
the Strother will case. He sets out
in the motion that they were unlaw-
fully taken possession of. alleging that
they were filched from the private Of
fees of DIR. Sullivan. This motion is
being opposed by District Attorney
Ballard, who is conducting the prose-
cution and has successfully repelled
attacks made by McCarran on the in
dictments, the first being motion to
quash the indictment and the last,
the demurrer
The papers which Sullivan's attor-
ney is so anxious to regain possession
of were responsible for the blow up
of the petition for probating what
was held out as Mrs. Strother's will
There are several sheets of foolscap
paper containing the signature of Mrs
Strother, and a complete will also
bearing her signature. Another was
sheet of ordinary ruled scratch
paper on which the name of Mrs
Strother had been written in different
styles.
The papers were produced by At
torney Sam Platt of the firm of Plat
& Sanford after the cross examina.
tion of Dr. Sullivan was well under
way They marked the complete col
lapse of the attempt to probate thu
purported Strother will.-lGazette.

TORTURED FEET

Don't cut your corns. The trimming
of corns can only give temporary re-
lief at best. The cutting is apt to
cause serious complications. such as
blood poisoning, etc. The thing to do
is to rid yourself entirely of corns by
using Corn Collode. You cannot use
this preparation long without losing
all of your corns. Warm weather is
trying on your feet, but you can get
great relief by using our special foot
powder. which will stop sweating OF
the feet.

.SCRUGHAM RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON

Colonel j. G. Scrugham, state en-
gineer, returned yesterday from
Washington. d. c., where he had been
for severeal weeks working in the in
terest of legislation of vital interest
to Nevada.
One of the local matter brought
to his attention was the soldier settle
ment bill, introduced by Congressman
Mondell of Wyoming. against which
much opposition developed from the
National Grange and so-called big in
terests. He later took the matter up
with the national committee of the
American Legion in New York, which
is now using it strong influence in
favor of the measure. Colonel Scrug-
ham discussed the situation with
Colonel Tom w. Miller, son of former
Governor Miller of Delaware, after
whom Millers, Nevada, was named;
also with Colonel Luke Lea, fromer
United States senator from Tennessee
Colonel Miller has been in Nevada and
both he and Colonel Lea have volun-
teered to look after the interests. as
representatives of the American Le-
gion in connection with the soldier
settlement bill. which also, has the
Endorsement of Secretary of the In
terror Franklin w. Lane. Colonel
Miller. particularly, expressed warm
sympathy for Nevada and fully real
ICES what the passage of the bill would
mean for the agricultural develop
ment of this state.
Colonel Scrugham had pleasant in
terviews with Senators Poindexter
Pomerene, in regard to the long and
short haul railroad legislation. Both
expressed the opinion that the rail-
roads would be returned to their
owners, January /. next, and that a
general railroad bill would be intro
duced in which the long and short
haul feature would be Incorporated
The senators expressed confidence
that favorable action would be OBJ
tanned. Notwithstanding the great op-
position from coast terminal sections.
In taking up the matter of water
for irrigation for Nevada Indian reser-
vations, Colonel Scrugham discovered
little inclination on the part of Colo
mel Sells. at the head of the Indian
Department. to cooperate with the
state until the Indian agent was in
formed that unless there was the
proper cooperation, the state would
certainly exercise it's sovereignty in
respect to the water rights of Ne
vada, as has been done in the state
of Utah. Colonel Sells had asserted
priority rights for the reservations
against all others, which is denied by
the state.
At the interior department, Secre-
tary Lane informed Colonel Scrug-
ham that the reservoir sites on the
Walker river will be restored to the
district These sites were withdrawn
form entry several years ago in the
interest of proposed irrigation
scheme. Favorable action by the de-
partment is anticipated soon. Colonel
Scrugham said.-[Journal.

leading the band, demanding for the
band service SIS to 800 per month.
The committee had been assured
financial assistance from business
men, either as individuals or through
the Business Mems Association; the
members of the band are willing to
cost, and the committee wanted the
city council to set aside an amount,
monthly, to help defray the cost. The
councilmen looked upon the plan with
favor, but were not ready to commit
themselves to any specific assistance
until they had had time to think the
matter over and see what money is
available for the purpose. Several
plans and suggestions are yet to be
developed and the matter is to be

HAY PRICES TO Be
HIGH NEXT WINTER

High prices for hay during the COM
ing winter are being predicted by hay
raisers and stockmen because of the
drought throughout the northern and
western parts of Nevada, eastern Cal
ifornia. southern Oregon and Utah
and Montana.
Though the weather for the past
six weeks has been very hot in this
vicinity, too hot for hay crops, the
crop around here has been up to the
average or above, and some farmers
are now saying that the hay will
bring 500 a ton at least and probably
more.
There was 70 rain in the northern
