that man had the right to have a
reasonable quantity Of liquor in his
own home and on the further ground
that the still as offered in evidence
was incomplete. This objection was
sustained by Justice Palmer and the
district attorney was forced to con.
tinue the fight without the vital evil
dence Of the still parts and the liquor.
Attorney Scott has informed the
Record that Justice Palmer remarked
during the trial that this man is not
going to be bound over anyway I'M
less you prove to my absolute salts
faction that he is guilty" This atti-
tude is amusing when IL is considered
that the laws Of the state of Nevada
plainly say that defendant shall be
bound over to the district court II
there is probable cause for guilt
shown.
Caliente Druggist Implicated
"W. A. Theyson, manager of the
Caliente Pharmacy was called to the
witness stand and testified that on
July IL Kaulbaugh came to him and
asked to borrow his Overland car, bot
that as the machine was not working
well he tTheyson) was not over.
anxious to allow II to go out, but he
agreed to accompany the machine and
do the hauling himself. Theyson was
certain that he did not know where
they were going when they left Cali
ente, but said that after some l..tle
time driving they landed mt Klondike
Wells, where they found waddell,
kaulbaugh's partner, and the other
member Of the alleged gang of moon
sinners, who, according to Theyson,
mixed up batch of gems, which were
baked and eaten with molasses, the
latter being taken from the contents
of barrel on the place. After The
meal" was finished, Theysol testified
the other members Of the partv role |
up some bedding and also loaded a
large box into the automobile. They
son being told, he said that the box
contained cooking utensils. Theyson
was so certain that it was not n still
that he hauled it to town on this oc-
casion. Fe testified that he was sur
prise to find Waddell at Tho Elondike
Wells. as he had believed him 10 be
in -ait Lake.
"They left camp for Caliente, They
son said, about $3.50 p m. but broke
down on the road in and were rescued
by sheepman, who took the load on
into town, arriving there at $3.50 a. IN.
on July Is. Theyson admitted that he
drove through the back alley to the
rear Of Kaulbaugh's and Waddells
home, where the load was taken from
the machine.
Thevson's Lame Story.
"Theyson said he never saw Wad-
dell again, and that it never occurred
to him (Theyson) to ask an explana-
ton for the curious manner in which
the load was handled and the fact that
they reached the house thru back
alley, etc. He said it was none of his
business, although he received no pay
for making the trip to Klondike Wells.
He further said that it was not at all
unusual for him to leave his business
in Caliente and embark upon pilgrim
ages into the country for which he re-
ceived no pay.
"At the conclusion of the evidence
for the state the defendant, w. Kaul-
baugh offered no evidence whatever
and Justice of the Peace Palmer i'm
mediately ruled that there was not
enough evidence to warrant the de-
PENDANT being held for the district
court and he was accordingly dis
charged.
"E. b. Waddell Kaulbaugh's part
ner for whom a warrant was also is
sued, has not been found and it is be-
lieved that he has left the state. He
will be arrested as soon as apprehend-
ed.
incidents relating to the search of
the Klondike Wells haunts of the men
who were under surveillance by the
officers are indeed interesting to the .
casual reader and are here outlined as
related to a representative of the Rec
ord by Sheriff William Culverwell
when he was in Phoebe Monday after
noon.
Sheriff Gets Wise to Facts.
According to the sheriff, he had
reason to believe, without conclusive
evidence, however, to prove his opin
ion, that "a still was being operated in
Caliente, and that the product there
from was being peddled in the vicin-
ity. He believed that he had enough,
evidence to warrant a search being
made of the Waddell and Kaulbaugh
pool hall, and if necessary the resi-.
dence of the pair in Caliente. When
he visited Phoebe at the time of the
meeting of the county commissioners
June 6 the sheriff confided his belief
to District Attorney A. l.. Scott and
a warrant in blank was issued, TO be
placed in operation by Mr.. Culverwle
when he deemed the action most adj
visable.
"An ever-watchful eye was kept on
the comings and goings of the alleged
still operators and moonshine whisky
