Duncan bind her son over to the grand jury on a charge of theft, she swooned and within an hour had died. The son was accused of stealing harness. We see from the Nevada Mail that “Bob” Feeley, who shot Hoots at County court last week made an order appropriating $5,000 to a sewer system, for the benefit of the court house and jail. The sewerage from these buildings must be taken care of. Now it isa steady drain on the county of about $600 a year for the jail alone, for the court house and jail it will cost over $1,000 per year. This is 5 per cent on $20,000. The county can well afford to pay $8,000 or even $10,000 to stop this annual interest. The city is already burdened with taxation and is not able to build a suitable system of sewers without substantial assist- J. B.
