The Daily state register. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1870-1872, 1872-01-24
THE ENTERPRISE IN A MIDDLE

Registerandthe waterright case. As
We predicted the other day the editor
of that paper dare not defend the de-
cision on its merits but thinks it is
correct, or if not correct that its
correction is a matter which can like
wise be most safely entrusted to
them Shade of the immortal
Bunsby! Thou must be renting the
Enterprise Office now. Or, venerable
sage. dost thou descend from the
imaginative realms of fancy, as the
shade OF Demosthenes to the dis
traught Victoria Woodruff, on the
sky-scrapIng roof at midnight, gen
erously to assist the passage of an
editorial idea through brains in which
the Almighty neve broke a trail?
Something must be the matter, for
no sane man could ever put together
such a mass of incoherent rubbish
and call itan editorial. He assures
our readers that the above represen-
tations make by the Register are
wholly and Internationally false,
and that Vansickle owns no land
upon the stream, or carer to 1t
than twenty rods" Wonderful dis
coverv, but made very late, Who
said he did? The Register said he
didn't over a month ago. In our
statement of the facts of the case
made in u earliest reference to the
subject We said Nansickle's boundary
run 4 number of yards from the chan
mel of the stream. The Enterprise
sets up a man Of straw, and with a
grand parade Of loud words, pro
ceeds to demolish him.
The Misrepresentation Of the State.
Register noticed above is only paral-
leled by the self-evident absurdity Of
the proposition that "Vansickle is
not a I5rer proprietor at all" Did
It enter the head of the profound
philosopher of the Enterprise how
the water ever found its way to Van
sickle's land il it IS not 5elr.: or
does that genius imagine that water
runs up hill?
We give the editor of the Enter
prise credit for more Intelligence
than is shown by the writer OF that
conglomeration Of unmltigated nom
sense and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ton !: and infer that his readiness to
attribute our references TO the decis-
ion TO one of the attorneys, who in
fact has as much to do with them as
the Enterprise itself, and no more,
is due to the facilities possessed by
certain parties interested in deceiv-
ing the public, carrying out their
purposes under editorial covero of the
Enterprise.
The Enterprise article bears the
ear-marks of its author, andno doubt
the editor is heartily ashamed of
them. Its columnsare decidedly cap
We should have made no al
fusion to them had the writer chosen
to cOnfne himself to the facts of the
case, instead of attempting by cow
ardly insinuations to drag in the
name of a gentleman who had no
connection whatever with articles in
paper. The designs too appar-
ent. It is t. prejudice Eansickle's
case on the motion for a rehearing-
not to set any facts before the people.
When the Enterprise has foun-
.ered through a few more silly
guesses and ridiculous absurdities,
readers may begin to get a glim-
mering idea OF the facts of the case.
Thus far Its progress has been slow
enough to entitle it to a reputation
of a humbug of the proportions Of
the Cardiff Giant"
