This happened back in the lays
when Billy Pittman was district at
torney of Nye county. The late jim
Golden had been out the night before
and was hailed in to Judge Billy
Sawle,s court while still enjoying the
effects of the morning after. The
court advised him that he could have
an attorney appointed to defend him

trict attorney looked on approvingly.

Clark James, stage driver On the
Manhattan run, in the Klon-
dixie days a employed by n
Frank Simonds in the benevolent and
arduous task of mixing and distrib-
uting certain pasteboards to divers
and snndry persons. Arriving in Ne
vada he soon had a livery stable at
Manhattan and was engaged In the
freighting business. In the employ OF
Mr.. Simonds also were a number OF
so-called s%oubrettes whose duty II
was TO entertain gentlemen custom
ers by dancing with them and regal
Ing themselves and the persons en-
tertained with refreshments sold by
the said Simonds after each dance

quainted with Mr.. James, or knew
his name, at any rate, and made bold

rived in Nevada. Here is how IL

was helping a bunch Of men transfer
some timbers from a wagon stuck In
the desert road. II was really me-

Manhattan horse stage came by and
this soubrette person was a passen-

feet of his as Clark stood waiting by
the roadside for the stage to pass
she emitted a cloud OF fashionable
cigarette smoke from between her
teeth and exclaimed. in a subdued
undertone:

to this?"

Dawn Margaret Williams says: lie

And they do say that the reason
Dawn Margaret wanted a new trial
or TO have her old n all over again
was 10 listen to that magnificent
voice of Deputy Clerk George Z. An

manner and tones worthy OF Chief
Justice Taft, and the oftener the bet
