Two prosecutions for violation of
the prohibition law engaged the at.
tention of Judge McMurray in the
lower court during the week.
The first brought up was that of
the State against Dave Dorteh and
resulted in the defendant being
bound over TO answer the charge in
the district court. He was held in
the sum of $500 bail and Judge
McMurray further required that an
additional bond of $500 be given to
guarantee that the defendant would
not violate the prohibition law dur
ing the pendency of the action
Dortch appeared in his own behalf
and the state was represented by
Deputy District Attorney v. II. Var.

Sheriff Mclean were sworn and testI-

flask was in the pocket of a coat
belonging to the defendant, who
claimed that the liquor was for his
personal use. The defendant took
the stand to make q statement in his

the court that such a procedure on
his part might result in his injury
later in the trial of the case. After
considerable legal maneuvcring the
defendant finally drew diagram TO

Yesterday the case OF the State
against Geiger was tried and the de-
fendant was represented by former
Dirstrict Attorney II. W. Edwards,
while Deputy District Attorney V. II
Vargas appeared for the state. The
latest case assumed many amusing
angles. Under Sheriff Charles Ches.
ter was called as the first witness for
the state and testified to having found
a flask In the pocket of a coat which
was hanging in an adjoining room.
This coat was shown to be the prop.

Counsel for defendant raised an Oh
lection to the admission of the eyi-
dence on the ground that at least
two other than the witness had &c.

session of the officers and there was
no assurance that the contents might
not have been changed.
Deputy Sheriff George Carey Rob

him as an expert on intoxicating II.

Denver S. Dickerson, former gov.
ernor of Nevada and former warden
of the penitentialy in this state, was
among those on whom the ak fell
when the new administration began
to look for democratic heads in Wash
ington after March 4.
The former Nevada governor, how
ever, surrenders his office as super
intendent of federal prisons to rela.
tive of the president, leaving behind
him a record of which he has lust
cause to feel proud. In commenting
upon the matter the Washington
Times says:
The Rev. Heber Votaw has been
rendered the appointment of super
intendent of prisons, the biggest
genealogical post in the United States,
TO succeed Denver S. Dickerson,
whose resignation was asked for and
duly offered. He has accepted and
will take office on April 6.
"Dickerson formerly was superin-
tendent of the Nevada penitentiary,
where his humanitarian and reform
work was so notable that two years
ago, when the post became vacant.
the United States government took
him to be chief of all the penal In
stitutions under federal control. Be.
cause of his eminence In prison work
the department of justice asked aid

was commonly known in this dis.

quarrel at McGill, and at the same

officers at that time were unable to
apprehend Romas The murdered
man had a brother in the district,
who was known as Bill Alex, and
the latter was anxious to press the
charge. He, however. later left the

District Attorney Walker will

bringing Romas back to Ely for trial,
which would probably be of no avail
because there would be but little
hope of conviction IL all the wit

made, however, and if there appears
any hope for success Romas will be
extradited and brought to trial.
