LAS the propositions pending in

at the commencement of the rebel

discussion of question, long since
settled by the records in the War
Department, as to what soldiers We're
first to enter the service. it may be
as well to state that APO volunteers
from the District of Columbia for
three months service were enrolled
in the United States Army and on
duty in this city before a single vol
unteer from any state had been en-
listed, and that some of these 1920

company of three months men, en-
rolled here. received the 9Th Massa-
chusettS at the railroad depot, that
company having then been nearly
three weeks in the service of the
government. We trust. therefore. the
claims of the District volunteers will
not be overlooked in any legislation
by Congress on the subject.
while we are setting this matter
right, it will not be amiss to remind
some writers and speakers, who ig-
norantly or Intentionally continue to
do gross injustice to the people here.

The preliminary hearing for Joe

information of District Attorney II.

plication in the killing of Arthur ST.

before Judge J. NJ. Collins in the
justice court last Wednesday.
Attorney George A. Whiteley rep
resented Bell, who appeared in court
without his partner, Leonard Fris-
toe, who had entered plea of guilty
when arraigned and waived the right
to a preliminary hearing.
The first witness called by the
state was o. NJ. Wallace, county jail
or. who testified that Bell came to
the sheriffs Office about a. m. Mon
day morning, and told the jailor that
be was one of the men wanted for
the killing of the officers near Cherry
Greek.
Undertaken Horswell was then
called to the stand and described the
wound on the body of Arthur st.
Clair. According to the testimony of
the witness the bullet from a high

he had not made a detailed examina-

ing the exact nature of the wound,
declaring his information was OBJ
tanned while making the necessary
preparations for the burial of the
body.
With the testimony of the two wit
nesses the state declared its case
closed and the defense did not offer

mony the plan of defense that would

claring the state had not proved the

ing to show that a man had been un-
lawfully killed within the county of
White Pine.
The court decided that the state
had shown sufficient reason to hold
the defendant and that he would be
bound over to await the action of
the district court.
In discussing the matter OF fixing
bond in the case, the state held that
the penalty in the case, if proved.
was death. and that DO bond would
be accepted. During the discussion
Judge Collins remarked that in the
fixing of the bond. if left to him, he
would make 1t such an amount that
ii would be difficult for White Pine
county to furnish and ordered that
defendant Bell be delivered into the
care Of the sheriff without bond.

tn provide for the payment of the ex-

the coming year by Incorporating the
amount necessary for the mainten-
