between Senators Nixon and New
lands.
Oddie, in fact, broke with Nixon
because the latter frcwned upon his
expressed wish to be the republican
nominee against Newlands in 1903.
Over that fact Oddie turned insurg-
ent in 1910 and made his race for
governor against the opposition of
Nixon, who supported Massey. Win
ming easily over Massey in the pri-
maries Oddie climbed in the Nixon
band wagon and the senator put up
the money for his campaign preced-
ing the November election.
Before this reunion Oddie fire.
quently said openly that the reason
he fell out with Nixon was because
Nixon was tied up with Newlands end
opposed his running for the senate.
Oddie at the time was the most pop
ular man in the state and would have
beaten Newlands easily, which Pat
Flanagan failed to do That was Just
what Nixon wanted. He wanted

SPR|NGMEYER APPEALS
FOR MORE STATE AID

Although Nevada has no prohibi-
tion law, United States Attorney
George Springmeyer has again ap-
pealed to the state authorities to as
sist him in his impossible task OF
enforcing the federal law within this
state. His appeal this time was ad-
dressed to Governor Scrugham, MAX
ing application for the assistance Of
the state in enforcing the Volstead
act.
Governor Scrughams $ reply was
that Nevada had no prohibition law,
one having been repealed and an
other set aside by the state supreme
court, and on top of these two ham
dicaps the legislature had refused
to appropriate the money to enforce
the law when there was one. The
governor concluded his letter by
saying he would be glad for state
and local officers to assist wherever
possible, but his letter did not indi-
cate where such might occur. The
purport of the letter is that the gov
ernor personally would be willing to
assist were there law to warrant
it, but that he knows Of no such law
Early this year Springmeyer ap-
pealed to county commissioners to
appoint several deputy sheriffs to as
sist federal men and to the legisla-
ture to make heavy appropriation
to enforce the then existing state dry

John Weber, White Pine pioneer
of 1917, one of the best and most
honorable men in the county and
state, died Friday evening at b
o'clock at his home on Murry street,
his death eliminating a decline that
began in the spring of 1921.
The funeral services will be held
at a time to be announced, the date
to be set wne,. it is known when his
daughter, Mrs David Young, will ar
rive from Indianola, Iowa. MI. and
Mrs. Weber spent last winter at their
daughters home, hoping that the
change of scene from the matters
that preyed upon his mind here
might prolong his life. Returning
at the close of winter he is not
known to have come down town and
it was generally understood that he
would not last long, as his decline
was constant
His body is to lie in state at the
Willow Club, of which he was an
old and honored member, but the
time of this ceremonial will depend
upon that of the funeral.
At his bedside when the pioneer
passed away were Mrs. Weber, their
son John Jr., Mr.. and Mrs. George
II. Linsley and Mrs. Jerry Nent.
Mr.. Weber was born June 9, 1851,
at Brooklyn, N Y. AS he reached
his majority he came west and set
tied at Schellbourne, then in the
midst of a boom. Two years later
he removed across the valley to
Cherry Creek, where he engaged in
business in partnership with his
father and brother, remaining there
until 1885, when he removed to Tay-
Ior. He stayed there but two years,
locating in Ely in 1885. H, was
married here that year to Miss Will
lena Shackelford.
For eight years he served as JUS
tice of the peace and after this peri
cd was the democratic nominee for
secretary of state of Nevada. He
made a canvass of FIVE counties dur
ing the campaign, winning in each
but failing of election. In 1911 he

1ong-term membership and again din
1918 got the short term, going out
of office when defeated for reelec-
tion.
Mr.. Weber was one Of the organ
izers of the Ely National bank, serv-
ing for several years as its cashier.
He was succeeded in that potion
about three and half years ago by
II S. Sturdevant.
As business man and Official his
record was one of the most scrupu-
Ious integrity and devotion to the
interests of the people he served. He
was never a politician in the sense
of beng a seeker for place of tho

The token of love of the people Oh
Ely that went out in the form OF ser
vices Friday at the high school audi
torium in honor of the late President
Warren G.. Harding was one breath
ing the spirit of genuine American
patriotism and was similar in all re-
spects save that of vengeful feeling
for a demoniac assassin to similar
services held within the memory OF
many attendants at the hour of the
burial OF William Mckinley and
James A. Garfield, and to small
number present when the immortal
Abraham Lincoln was laid tc rest at
his old home town of Springfield in
1865, a few months before Mr.. Hard
ing was born.
Mayor Alfred Tamblyn presided
over the huge assemblage, which oc-
cupied every seat, delivering brief
eulogy to the departed president.

at that hour some bondsmen ar
rived at the clerks Office from Tay-
lor and Mr.. Zurich claims he had
to be with them for about twenty
minutes and that he sent mes-
sage from the clerks Office to the
Judge, saying he would be in
shortly.
When Mr.. Jurich appeared the
Judge in a few words summarily
fined him, from his talk there be-
ing a sort of feeling in the atmos-
phere in the room that Zurich had
a low rating as Portia or angel
of mercy when the shoe is on the
other foot.
Had the distance not been 50
great between here and the cap
ital there might have been an at
tempt at a habeas corpus proceed
ing, but the distance is such as to
have made it prohibitive.

Twenty-Five dollars fine for At

This was a penalty visited upon
Ely's fighting lawyer yesterday by
Judge McFadden.
The fine was paid under protest,
a document showing the protest
being certified over the signature
of ZURICH addressed to Sheriff
Nicholson, to whom the money
was paid, and it was set forth
therein that the payment was made
that the deponent might have his
liberty, and for that purpose only.
The occasion of the stirring
court event was Mr.. Zurich being
