The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-06-19

been decided against the plaintiff.
The action was an appeal from
Justices Court on the COM
plant and answer. The opin-
ion is by Judge Flack. who presided in
the District Court at the time the case
was submitted to the Court. He
says: 1.-THE question presented to be
decided is whether the plaintiff is en-
titled to mileage for returning with the
prisoner to the magistrate, or, in other
words, is he under the statute entitled
to mileage for going to arrest a prison
er, and also for mileage for taking him
before the magistrate?" The law with
regard to Sheriffs fees provides that for
travelling in making service in civil
cases, the Sheriff shall be entitled to
seventy-fve cents per mile for going
only and also provides that in criminal
cases he shall receive the same mileage
as in civil cases, and the same mileage
for taking prisoner before magis-
trate, or to the State Prison. The
Court holds that under the law the
Sheriff is not entitled to mileage for
travelling both ways in making arrests
and consequently ordered judgment for
the defendant. The decision was re-
ceived yesterday by the District Attor-
ney from Judge Flack. and for the pres
ent the question of the Sheriff claims
to mileage both ways in making arrests
is settled in this county.

Sutherland, who has since his return
from California, two weeks ago. been
prospecting in Table Mountain,
brought ton of ore from a lead in
that district to the Humboldt Reduc-
ton Works to have it tested. The ore
was delivered at the works to-day, and
if the yield is satisfactory he informs us
that mill will be erected Immediately
on the mine. The ledge from which
the sample was taken is near the mines
recently located by the Woolcock and
Organ boys, about thirty miles south of
Unionville.
EMIGRANrs. one hundred and
fifty emigrants passed here last even
ing. Each car seems to carry COM
munity in itself, separate and distinct
and wholly unlike the others. Last
night there was one car filled with Ital-
ians right from their native land, and
another car consisted principally of
Americans, among whom were lot of
young men and women who were en-
joying themselves singing Sunday
School pieces. and apparently were as
happy as if at home in parlor.
