the larger outfits starting in this week.
Ten cents per fleece is being paid in

CAN'T SWALLOW
A. GRANT MILLER

Before we get away from the state candidates we
want to say word about A. Grant Miller whose
is on the Republican ticket for representative
in congress. The Free Press is a Republican paper
and its editor is what you might call black Repub-
can but we can't swallow A. Grant Miller. Our
contention is that he has right the ticket as
Republican, and we honestly believe that it would
be calamity for the state of Nevada to send him to
congress to represent Nevada at Washington, D. C.
We have been taken to task by certain Republican
leaders for opposing him. but we believe that
newspaper is in duty bound to work for the best in
terests of the state and for the best man on the
ticket, and with this principle in mind we urge the
voters, both Democratic and Republican, to vote
for the Democrat at the coming election. Miller
was formerly the leader of the Socialist party in
this state, but the rank and file of that party have
repudiated him and will not support him; the
Democrats will not, and we hope that the Republi-
cans will turn him down hard that he will never
have the courage to crowd himself on the ticket
again.-Elko Free Press

TREASURY BONDS
ARE A GOOD BUY
Treasury Savings Certificates, Tax
Exempt, May Be Bought In
Small Denominations, and
Are Good Investment

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-"The in
creased price of Treasury Savings
Certificates just announced by the
Treasury Department means that
these government savings securities
have proved attractive to investors, y
said Lee Wallace, Jr., Director of
the U. S. Government Savings Sys-
tenn. 1.-THE interest return on gov
eminent securities has been grad
ually declining for the last two
years as we recede from the world
war and business returns toward
normal conditions. Two years ago
the Treasury was paying 6 per cent
on short-time Treasury certificates,
and only year ago it was paying
51s per cent on three-year Treasury
notes. Treasury certificates now are
being sold at 31s and 3 u per cent
and the last issue of Treasury notes
bore 4 " per cent. Treasury Saw
ings Certificates at new prices, to
yield per cent compounded semi
annually, if held to maturity, are
therefore in line with the rates
on outstanding securities, and be-
ing constantly on sale, in convenient
denominations, are particularly at
tractive to small investors. Treas
ury Savings Certificates are exempt
from State and local taxation lex,
cept estate and inheritance taxes)
and from the normal federal in.
come tax. They are issued in de.
nominations of $25, 800 and
$1,000, at prices which, beginning
October /, 1922, will be $20.50
$S2 and $500, respectively. If re.
deemed before maturity, the yielo
is about 8 per cent, simple inter
est. From the very beginning
Treasury Savings Certificates have
proved popular, and sales have
steadily increased as the people
have come to understand their at
tractive features"

that couple had departed. In walk
ing around the premises they found
the body of the man supposed to be
Williams and Immediately hurried
to Tonopah where they reported the
matter to Sheriff w. II. Thomas.
Following a prompt investigation
it was learned that Dillon left here
about three weeks ago and was
followed by his wife a couple of
days later. A search is now being
made for them and kilograms and
descriptions have been sent broad
cast asking officers to be on the
alert and bring about their arrest.
Events connecting the billions
with the dead man are so complex
that they furnish one of the most
dramatic events in the annals of
crime that will require the keenest
minds to piece together this sordid
tragedy as the elimination of a
long chain of illicit events growing
out of the cross currents of the
underworld.

found the body, will be chief wit.
ness if the suspected principals are
ever brought to account for al
legged completely in the killing. Ac-
cording to his story, about the 10th
of September he was accosted by
Mrs. G. Dillon late one night with a
demand that he drive her out to
the vicinity of Fraziers wells on a
matter of life or death. Zampatti
was not keen for the undertaking
as he feared the woman who ap-
peared to be greatly exercised over
something and he demurred.
"You must go; that's ALL" Mrs.
Dillon is reported as saying. 81
have just returned from taking my
husband out and my car is broken
down and wont move. You'll have
to go. | must get out there as quick
as God will let me-"
! Zampatti said he finally yielded
and drove the woman to the cabins
formerly used by old man Frazier,
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-10-05

where Williams had been operating
a still. The woman grew hysterical
as the car came to a stop and taking
a gun from her handbag began
shooting. Two of the bullets grazed
the nose of Zampatti, who threw
himself on his companion whom he
disarmed. Mrs. Dillon then grew
hysterical and ran to the cabin
where she began scratching the
ground as though digging up some-
thing. When she returned she held
gold watch in her hand, which
she extended to her companion, re-
marking:
81 haven't any money, but you
can keep this for your trouble
and you must keep your head shut
about what happened tonight or
I'll bury you the same way that l
buried Others"
Identification of the body Of the
dead man is not complete at this
writing, although Lee Bell, who
claims to have known Williams, says
he is quite sure that it is Williams.
The remains were badly decomposed
and it is said that buzzards had
been devouring the remains, or that
portions of them that were exposed.
The body had been buried at
depth Of about 18 inches, but the
head and shoulders were not under
the wash to depth of but few
inches.
The billions have been residents
of Tonopah for quite long time.
They conducted the Globe rooming
house on Water street, and while
no direct charge has been preferred
against them, it is surmised that
the murder may have been COM
mitted at the rooming house and the
body taken to the old Frazier wells,
where it was buried.
Mrs. Dillon is a striking woman
in appearance and weighs about 100
pounds. She has auburn hair and
was neat dresser and was greatly
admired generally.

TONOPAH STAGES
GRUEs0ME CRIME
Moonshiner Killed By Bootlegger
and Buried Without Regulation
Funeral Obsequies Arouses
Criticism of Populace

From the papers of the Tonopah
Times and Bonanza, the following
excerpts pertaining TO bootleggers'
vendetta are taken:
One of the most henious crimes
that ever occurred in Tonopah was
reported to the authorities Sunday
afternoon when a decomposed body
in the last stages of modification
supposed to be the remains of Bill
Williams, a confessed moonshiner,
was found under circumstances that
indicate a murder of the most re-
voting type. The body was fully
clothed and the head was wrapped
in an old bed comfort. The arms
were tied to the sides with bailing
wire. The lower limbs were bound
in the same fashion and another
wire encircled the body at the waist.
These wire ligatures were looped to
furnish hand holds for carrying
which leads to the suspicion that the
crime was committed in Tonopah
The police conjecture that death en-
sued as a sequel to a bootleggers
battle was borne out by the au-
topsy conducted by Drs. Craig and
Richards, which revealed that the
head had been crushed, the jaw
broken with some dull instrument
and several teeth knocked out.
The gruesome find was made by
James Zimpatti and John Rouhi
who had visited the premises foI
the purpose of calling upon G
Dillon and wife, but they founo
