A Carson dispatch says that the
case Of Leon Liotard, charged with
manslaughter at Ninnemucca as the
outgrowth Of the death of Miss
Eula Holloway, Who was crushed
between a wall and an auto owned
by Liotard, will come before the
state supreme court on August IA
when writ of habeas corpus, is
sued by the court Tuesday, is re-
turnable. Sim Krites, driver of the
car which ran into Miss Holloway,
pleaded guilty to a charge of driv-
ing an automobile while intoxicated
and was sent to the state peniten-
tiary for the offense.
A similar motion made by C. E.
Robins, attorney for Liotard, be-
fore Judge Mcnamara of Elko last
week resulted in refusal to issue
the writ which would give Liotard
his freedom, and in consequent he
remains in Jail here.

OROVADANS WANT ROAD
ROUTED THROUGH VALLEY

Claiming that the route through
Orovada and the Quinn river valley
from Paradise Hill to McDermitt
provides cheaper construction and
will more adequately serve 80 per
cent of the the population of the
district affected, and that for those
and others reasons the routing of
that portion of the LON. cutoff
should be changed, S. w. Collins,
J. H. Walgamott and George J.
Crossley, committee from the Oro-
vada community center, appeared
before the county commissioners
last Monday to urge such action.
The committee claimed that at least
IL miles of the road along the route
they propose already has been built,
and that the distance to McDermitt
being the same, parallelling the
present route one and one-half miles
to the west, they see no reason why
the valley route should not be des-
ignated The commissioners took
no action in the matter, reserving
decision until further investigation
accomplished.
The Orovadans incidentally men,
toned while here that three new
ettlers have recently come into the
alley from Riverdale, Calf, and
hat sixteen more family are ex-
oected to locate there this summer.

FUNERAL TRAIN PASSED
THROUGH THIS CITY

Business ceased in Winnemucca
last Saturday morning when the
funeral train carrying the body Of
Warren G. Harding passed through
en- route to Washington. A great
crowd gathered at the Southern Pa
cific depot, there to stand with
heads barred while the American Le-
gion members stood at attention
along the tracks. A huge picture of
the dead President, draped and
backed by large flags, adorned the
station. The train did not stop, but
was pulled through the yards at a
very slow speed. Extreme quietness
characterized the crowd.

Water Stops Mill
j. P. Clough, manager of the
Charleston Hill Mines Company,
while on business in this city yes
terday, stated that the test run of
the new mill on that property, as
previously reported in these col
umns, had proven entirely satisfac-
tory, and that the mill had worked
perfectly since first being turned
over. Some difficulty has been ex-
'pefienced in providing an adequate
supply of water for the mill, due
TO the fact that this is the middle
of an exceptionally dry season, but
present work of digging sumps so
that the water may be used over
and over is expected to relieve the
situation SO that the mill may
shortly resume steady production.

With tomorrow set a. the day

Under the vast dome ~ ths earl

tender words Of old hymns. Warren
G. Harding was given into Gods
keeping at noon by the men Of hieh
place in the nation who had served
with him in the short ysars of his
leadership for the glory Of the hae
that was his winding sheet.
As simple in its dignity and Ms
faith in the goodness Of God - ths
man whose passing 1t marked, the
religious ceremony took . hare
twenty minutes. Then, under the
ceaseless vigil Of motionless sentries
who stood ut the corners Of the
bier, the great doors were opened
for the waiting thousands outside
to pass slowly by the casket ON
which the sorrow of the nation and
the world poured ont.

black and with a heavy veil hi1ine
her features, Mrs. Harding faced
her public ordeal Of sorrow with
stole courage.
Never q break in the firm spirit
that has borne her up through the
tragic days was visible to the pity
ing eyes that dwelt upon her.
When the last word had been
said she walked slowly out through
the senate corridor. her hand barely
touching the arm of Secretary
Christian, her slender figure straight,
with no mint Of the crushed heart
within.
And for the first time since he
died with her eyes upon him, far
away in San Francisco, the precious
casket was left by this strone, low
ing, loyal wife and widow To-. tho

house until she claims Il ag,in TO
bear it back to Marion and IL long
rest.
The thousand seats that crowded
the wide circle Of the rotunda were
filed save for the mourners who
came with the funeral cortege in
the parade Of proud sorrow from
the White House, long before the
marching hosts arrived in the plaza
on which the building fronts.
Out there just q few months aeo
Warren Harding pledged his honor
and his life to the great task he
was to undertake. Today, just :
few yards from the spot whore he
stood to send his oath Of loyalty
around the world, solema moment
awaited him while his grateful coun-
trymen testified before all men that
he had kept that faith to the death.
Mrs. Harding was the fiyst to
leave the chamber, the audience still
standing in plying sympathy q she
passed out through the senate cor

and that ''in all appropriate ways
the public officials of the state are
urged to manifest the spirit of
mourning and respect for the de-
parted for the period of thirty days

ment on affairs of state, but to IA
miliarize the vice president with the
duties of the executive department
SO that, in the event of an emer-
gency like the present, he could step
into the Presidents office with no
disturbance to the nations business.
Never has Presidents death
been more deeply regretted, but
never has a President left his office
in more orderly condition than Mr..
Harding. President Coolidge can
take up the reins where his pre-
decessor has dropped them and pur-
sue the Harding policies to the end
already mapped out for them. Mr..
Harding met and successfully mas
tered the crisis incident to the
abrupt change from war to peace.
and Mr.. Coolidge has but to follow
the comparatively smooth road
ahead. Mr.. Harding has paid the
penalty for his overwork in behalf
OF the people. His memory will be
gratefully treasured by them.
