A Bloody Scrap

There are two prisoners confined
in the county Jail awaiting trial.
One is a young Indian charged with
muroer and the other is Greek
charged with passing bad checks.
The Greek is a very disagreeable
customer and has been in the habit
of bulldozing the Indian. and the
Indian is subject to fits, and while
i'll fitfui tiirocs he becomes pugna-
cious.
Yesterday, while the Greek was
threatening to annitilate his dusky
companion, the latter was seized
with a fighting fit. He flew at the
Greek with an iron bar and cracked
that embryonic Demosthenes on the
skull, cutting a big cash. The
Greek rallied and the fight was on.
They were on top of the cells at the
time and they rolled around biting,
scratching. punching, kicking and
shouting the Greek battle cry and
Indian war-whoop in discordant
harmony. The Greek smashed a
window pane and was trying to cut
off the Indian s head with broken
glass.
The screaming Of the bel,igcr-
ents attracted the janitor, who no.
tilted Under Sheriff Dimock.
That officer found both fighters
absolutely helpless from exhaus-
ton and the beating received. Both
were covered with blood The In
dian was beaten and kicked about
back and ribs until he could hardly
move, while Greek head, face and
hands are badly cut.
DR.. Davis was called and dressed
the wounds and Deputy Dimock
has placed his war like guests in
different parts of the Jail, so that,
for the present there will be no
need of the Coroner services.

Congressman Evans

Nevada courts arc above suspi-
ciop," said Mr.. Evans. The Legisla-
ture and all State officials are elected
by the people and are responsible to
them, while many Federal laws--es-
pecially the recent oil leasing bill
depend entirely upon the whim OF the
Secretary of the Interior, who may
withdraw them iron entry. Too
n,ucl, power is given the Secretary to
administer to the needs OF Nevada
These matters could be adjudicated
by your own courts and law-making
bodies more to your satisfaction.
Eastern Representatives in Con-
yrcss must be convinced OF the integ-
rity OF our courts and State govern
nlcnt, and OF our ability, capacity
and carncstness for handling our own
business, through men elected by and
directly accountable to the people,
instead OF a Secretary OF the Interior,
5oG0 miles away and about sour times
removed from vote OF the people"
Mr. Evans says he is satisfied
with the political outlook. He be-
lieves his Congressional record will
convince the people that he has done
lis utmost to accomplish results. but
that new member is always at a dis
advantage. II reelected he will be in

pie al Nevada.

NO LAW AGAINST

John +. Kramer, federal prohibition
commissioner, according 10 those in
terested who have been st..dying the
state act and the bulletii, ISSUED by
Commissioner Kramer and recently

office states:

sively in the home in the home, and
