The preliminary hearing of the case wherein the state of Nevada is proceeding against C. R. Squires, Winnemucca merchant, charged with having bought a slaughtered steer without requiring the seller to exhibit to him the hide, is on this afternoon in Justice James Ritchie's court.

Inasmuch as this afternoon will be consumed in taking testimony and a part of tomorrow in transcribing the reporter's notes, Justice Ritchie's decision will probably not be issued for a day or two.
