He will be able to leave the prison in November, 1926. Gov. Boyle, Chief Justice Sanders of the supreme court and Attorney-General Fowler are reported to have been the members of the board of pardons who voted to commute the sentence, , ., T . , , , c while Justices Ducker and Coleman of . . . ., . , ! the supreme court are said to have , 1 opposed. , 1 Urve has beem a model prisoner and . he has made j n-V on t- a m" a kiit I rrVi tn wars tr 1 death, but this sentence was commuted ,.t .

Ross Brown, sent from Washoe coun ty for embezzlement, was granted an immediate parole. Joh;a Kirby, Elko cour.ty, forgery, was also paroled. MORE INDICATION OF ELAN IN ELKO The story recently published in a local paper to the effect that the Ku Klux Klan was rumored to be in ex istance in this city, brought forth many a smile and a statement: "That is just another newspaper story," and to tell the truth, the writer was rather of that impression also, the Elko Free Press says. However, recent developments would seem to give credence to the story, urf less there are several rather prominent citizens endeavoring to "kid" somebody. During the past week a number of resi dents of this city have reported being approached by committees of two or three, usually well known citizens, and questioned as to their ideas on this or ganization, informed as to its aims and ideals, and in fact practically invited to join. The strength of the local "chapter" is not known, nor are any of its mem bers, the whole thing being merely in the supposition stage, as is the case all over the United States, but if there really is such aw organization, active here, it will come to light before many more months have passed. J. F. SHAUGHNESSY S CONDITION IMPROVING ! Inquiries instituted by J. M. Fulton, assistant district freight and passcn - ger agent of the Southern Pacific com pany, here, have elicited the informa tion from eastern sources that J. F. Shaughnessy, chairman of the Nevada public service commission is recovering from a major operation performed at Brookline, Mass., although his return to Nevada is yet a matter of consider able time, savs the Reno Journal. An exploratory cranial operation perform ed some time ago revealed the exis tence of pressure on the motor areas of the brain and a second, which proved delicato, successfully removed the cause. Mr. Fulton was in Washington whene Chairman Shaughnessy was first strick en and learning the tatter's plan to pro ceed to Boston, arranged with the rail- 'road associates to facilitate the trip. I A railway representativve met the train jat Boston and saw the sick mam safely to the home or his own relatives. Alarmist and unfounded reports cir eulated in Reno caused Mr. Fulton to institute further inquiries, resulting in the cheering news detailed above.

Nute Christen of Carson, is a steady player of all-round ability.

WBSELLTHB WORLD'S ORE ATE ST LEAVER ER (BROJUrJlEW TU Economy BAKING POWDER MATT FARRELL MtDffi IMY TO BE ARRESTED SOON That the arrest of an Indian for the murder of Ah Quong, whose body was found im a barn at the rear of his cabin in Chinatown Thursday, may be ex pected at any time was the announce ment of Sheriff Joe Stern this morning. The trail of an Indian suspect, a dope fiend who has served a term in the Nevada state prison for forgery, has been followed and it is expected that he will be picked up at Yerington or Schurz today. Movements, of the Indian from the day of the murder have been deter mined by the sheriff. This Indian, usu ally without any more valuables than the clothes he wore, was said to be in a weak physical condition Wednesday for want of narcotics and without money to buy the drug. He had been used to teasing Ah Quong, securing narcotics from the old Chinese without paying for them and in general annoying the old man. At about six o'clock on the evening of the murder another Chinese was grabbed around the arms near Quong's cabin by an Indian who answers the descrip tion of the man sought and this Chinese was called by the nickname of Ah : Quong. When the Indian discovered that he was holding the wrong man he released his hold and disappeared. sappearet At abdut ten o'clock Wednesda' night the Indian went to a sleeping place other than the one he had usually oc cupied and early in the morning left there and caught a train for Yerington. Before leaving Carson, however, he left in his pockets. This money, Sheriff Stern believes, was taken from the clothes of Ah Quong after the murder. Further investigation of the Quong cabin in Chinatown today lead to the discovery of a bloodstained hammer and to the discovery that the head of the dead Chinese had been struck in several places. This lead to the belief that the old man was not killed with the first blow, but was struck several times before he expired. ADVERTISED LETTERS At the Carson City post office, D; 30. 1922. Mrs. Geo.
