POLITICIANS TRIAL
FOR MURDER BEGUN

James H. Nevin, on trial in the dis
trict court for the murder of Mrs.
Eta Hanna in their West Second
street apartment on the evening of
February at Reno. was visibly af-
fected during the recital of Miss Nell
lie Nicholas. the states star witness
yesterday afternoon, says the Gazette.
When Miss Nicholas began her story
Neven moved his chair around the
counsel table to be able to hear to
better advantage, and when she de-
scribed the scene in the death cham
Der, picturing Neven in an attitude
of prayer by the victims side as she
gasped for breath, his emotion was
perceptible. Nevin covered his face
with his hands and remained in this
attitude while the witness continued.
Miss Nicholas testimony was much
the same as that adduced from her at
the preliminary examination a month
ago. She said Neven and Mrs. Hanna
quarreled frequently over mines and
money" as their conduct disclosed to
her in her apartment above them.
While she was dressing on the night
of February g. she said, she heard
Mrs Hanna cry out, Don't hit me,
don't hit me, don't hit me-" Then
here came to her the noise of rush
ing feet. Presently the door opened
and Nven called for a woman who
had formerly lived in the upper apart
ment When informed that this wo-
man no longer lived there, Neven, ac-
cording to the witness, exclaimed, 20.
come down; the dear lady has killed
herself"
Miss Nicholas then told of the arri-
val of Chief of Police Kirkley and
described the dramatic scene in the
apartment when Nevin knelt beside
a chair and murmured God, she can't
be gone"

E[KO MUST HAVE
OUR DOPE F|ENDS

Although blinking oriental eyes
duly and vacantly bespeak entire in
nocence for their owners during the
daylight hours, Elko officers believe
that majority of these same eyes
keenly watch the highways and by
ways leading to large drug caches in
different parts of that city by night
fall. Since a raid conducted about a
year ago netted empty cans which If
full would have contained thousands
of dollars worth of opium, besides
several hundreds of dollars worth of
the stuff itself, evidence has been
more than ordinarily difficult to find
and the authorities here have been at
their wits end to discover the hiding
places for these stores of the stuff o.
dreams.
A close watch has been kept for
some time upon certain places in the
city where it was suspected that
opium, morphine. yen shee and CO.
caine were being disposed of at re-
tail and Wholesale. Since the advent
of prohibition officers state that the
number of drug fields has increased
to an alarming degree, there being
more than one hundred users Of
heroin, cocaine, morphine and opium
in Elko at this time. Drug stores
here also have experienced on more
than one occasion, frantic appeals for
the drugs named and the situation
becomes more serious when drug
users will attempt to secure the stuff
at municipal pharmacies.
The Elko Chinatown is well pro-
tected by secret and underground
passageways. Sometime ago Consta-
BILE Cotant, in seeking two Indian
women who had been drinking, fol-
lowed them into a Chinese joint and
although he was but a moment be-
hind them they had completely disap-
peared when he entered the room and
no amount of search by the officer
revealed where they might have gone
So with the growth of the drug traf-
fic here undoubtedly the mazes OF
Chinatown have been added to until
an elaborate system, designed partic-
ularly to defeat the seekers of the
law has been constructed.
few days ago a raid carried out
in Winnemucca netted large sup
ply of drugs. The raid there was
made with ease but the system of es-
cape had not been developed to the
degree that it is believed to have
been carried out here.
At any rate it is taking every in
genuity of Elko officers to discover
from whence comes the supply OF
drugs necessary to keep the hundred
and more users known to be in this
city, supplied.-Elko Independent

The Voice Of Ignorance.

Senator Sheppard of Texas, author
of the eighteenth amendment, said in
Dallas the other day:
"Only the old world, which knows
nothing about it, attacks prohibition.
The old world is like the woman who

Collector Conehay wired for infor-
nation when the Gazette published an
interview from Attorney w. NJ. Gard

An indication of better times and

belonging to other railroads have
been sent back east to the owners,

AUTO CATCHES FIRE
IN UNUSUAL MANNER

Passersby saw smoke issuing from
the tonneau of Fred Danberg's fine
sedan which was standing at the curb
on the west side of the State Bank
& Trust building during the noon
hour and extinguished the incipient
blaze. Investigation disclosed the
fact that the beveled glass in the rear
of the car acted as a burning glass,
bringing the rays of the sun to a
focus on the seat cushion and start
ing blaze that might have caused a
great deal of damage had it not been
discovered in time.-Carson News.

WHAT KILLED METHusELAHr

Noah's grandfather. Methuselah- lived longer than anybody else He lived to the ripe old age of sse- And stili there Is room to doubt whether he died of old age or not
 Beginning at Genesis 5.25. we read that Methuselah was 1sz when Noah was born
 Lamech was 1se when Noah was born.
 When Noah was born Methuselah was 36s years old.
 LAmech lived 5s5 years after the birth of Noah.
 The flood came when Noah was 500.
 Lamech had been dead only five years.
 Adding 500 to sss makes Methuse- lah ses years old at the time of the flood.
 Methuselah happened to die at that age.
 The question is- Did Methuseiah die just before the flood. or did the flood drown him7
 At any rate. he lived longer than any other man. and if the flood hadn't come. perhaps he would still be living. Who knowsg

 He went as far az he thought Granny could have waded. but there was no trace of her. Then he crossed the brook. and with his nose still to the ground ran back to the starting place along the other bank.
