dent. BY another resolution it was
resolved to sell 5000 more shares Sc
cretly and by this action Messrs.
Sawyer, Cooper and Ravens obtained
possession of the stock. It is cot
tended that when they sold it for 20
cents it was worth 81 share. At the
meeting of the directors Ravens,
who had in the meantime been elect
ed President, acted in an arbitrary
manner and refused to recognize the
plaintiffs in their rights as stockhold-
ers. superintendent Clement was
discharged by the Haven Cooper fac
ton, SO that they could, as the COM
plant says. have man OF their
own choosing who would send
"cooked" reports and enable them TO
make ssdeal.'
In conclusion the Court is asked to
cancel the sale of stock by the direc-
tors, and that an order be made for
proper election of officers, and also
that they be restrained from selling
any of plaintiffs stock to pay for an
assessment of Is cents a share which
the directors levied.

THE ESCAPED PRISONERS.
Richards Surrenders Hfmself-Lewis
Still at Large.


The two escaped prisoners, Lewis
and Richards, were tracked up the
Clear Creek road, and Thursday morn
ing, says the Carson Tribune, Richards
the man in for burglary, was started
from the brush about 8 o'clock. From
that hour until half-past one he kept
the Indian pursuers and the white
posse at their wits end endeavoring
to effect his capture, one shot being
fired at him by an Indian. At that
hour he walked up and surrendered
himself to Commissary Kelly, and
lodged in his old quarters last night.
According to Richards statement
he and Lewis were just awakening
from sleep near Summit camp, when
they observed the Indians coming.
Lewis said: "My God, we are dis
covered; let's surrender" Richards
replied: "No! am only in for eight
years and you in for life. You lay
still, and I'll run and keep them
interested, and when the opportunity
offers you get up and make for another
quarter
The plan no debut worked we'll, for
Lewis had not been apprehended.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
Charges Made by The Stockholders OF
the Martin White Company.

Charges Made by the Stockholders of
tine Martin White Company.
The San Francisco Post of October
30th contains the following: An ac-
ton was begun in the Superior Court
to-day by Charles A. Sinclair, j. D.
Sargent ct al, representing the stock
holders of the Martin White Mining
Company, against A. B. Cooper, IL.
B. Ravens, E. ID. Sawyer, III. s. Dear
BON, Daid Hunter, g. IL. Cabonniss,
B. q Halves and w. w. Watson, the
directors of the company. 1t is al
legged in the complaint that the cleo
ton of the directors of the company
was held on August I5, 1889, and it
was then agreed that the stockholders
should manage the company through
the directors. 1t was also the sense
of the meeting that economy should
be adopted as regards the company's
funds. Roswell P. Clement was re-
tanned as superintendent, as the
stockholders had great confidence in
him. The directors in organizing
elected Clement president, and A. b.
cooper as secretary. In May last
Clement resigned as president, but
retained his position as director. The
resignation was accepted, though now
it is charged that Cooper presented
Clements resignation with the frau
dulent Intention of securing his own
election by saying that Clement had
resigned from the board. E. d. Saw
yer was made President and Cooper
was elected director.
1t was further charged in the COM
plant that last July Sawyer, Cooper,
Ravens and Dearborn entered into a
conspiracy TO defraud the stock hold
ers out OF a sufficient number of
shares to allow them to gain control
of the corporation. A resolution was
passed by them authorizing the Sec
tary 10 sell 1896 shares of stock at 25
cents per share. The sale was made
without plaintiff getting any notice
Afterward, it is charged, in the fur
therance. of the conspiracy, Sawyer
was supplanted by Ravens as Presi.

THE SUGAR BEET.

Why Would Not It's Cultivation be an
!. OF Nevada.
In all sections of the country where
the sugar beet will grow, new at
tention has been awakened To its
culture since the passage of the Nc
Kinely bill. The duty upon imported
sugar has been increased; while 10
stimulate home production premium
of two cents per pound is granted on
all sugar made from the beet in this
couatry. Last week in Iowa an ex-
tensive plant was established. and
every day, from various sections of the
States comes news of preparations
being made for its cultivation on a
more or less large scale. The growth
of the sugar beet is very important
industry in California. From a small
beginning not many years ago, it has
grown to be one of the recognized
resources of that great State.
The sugar beet grows we'll in New
ada. 1t is said to be the only vege-
table that will thrive in alkali. Be
as it may, it is certain that as large
and fine beets can be growNhere as in
any other part of the Union, with the
advantage over those grown in CAL
ifornia of containing larger percent
age Of sugar. The Nevada ranchers
must in the near future turn their at
tention to something more than the
raising of hay. What is needed to
increase the general prosperity is a
diversity of industries. Where only
hay is produced, any disease which
may attack the range stock, or hard
Winter where many die, produces a
corresponding period of hard times,
not only among the ranchers but
throughout all traders. When the
farmers are prosperous, business Is
prosperous, when they are not bust
ness stagnates. So it is to the interest
of all. classes to have them getting
ahead.
The raising of the sugar beet, with
plant for converting it into sugar
situated upon the Truckee river, would
be one plan ont of many that be
suggested whereby the prosperity OF
the people, of the State could be
auymented.-Re Journal.

A Rather Cutting RelOlnder.

Some years ago rather amusing
incident took place in one of the
most splendid of the New York ho.
tells which is too good not to be re-
lated. A swell young gentleman
was a bUarder in the house, and
preferring not to eat at the table
dhOtel, had his meals served in his
own private parlor with all the ele.
gance tor which the establishment
was noted. Being somewhat an.
nOyed with the airs of the servant
who waited upon him-a negro Of
very sOOty cOmplexiOn-he request
ed him one day at dinner to retire
The negro bowed aud took his
