menr

Amos Bodies, ex walchmaa for the
Mountain Queen Milling and Mining
Company, of Esmeralda county, has
attached $500 werth OF bullion in
ells-Fargo's charge in this city, for
the purpose OF recovering about 5000,
which he claims is due him as watch
man, being engaged IN that capacity
about six months. In an interview
with an Ar peal reporter MIR Gill said
=" 1t is quite true that Dir. Bodies was
employed by the company to watch
the mill and buildings, but we did not
expect to find shortage in material
when 1t came TO an accounting. He
is certainly entitled To his wages,
provided he paid attention TO cur in
terests, which he did not do. 1--WE
TASKS Of quicksilver, valued at about
$47 per flask, lumber, tools and several
minor articles had disappeared, and
Mr.. Bellies does net known where they
went. Most certainly we placed him
there to watch our properly and turn
over to the company all material left
in his charge.
In view of the shortage, all we ask
is that he deduct the value Of the
material-about $500, from his original
bill ST $500 odd dollars.
I'VE propose to contest the case and
get thorough understanding, which
we consider is due u.s."
Mr.. S. p. Warren, one Of the Di
rectors, is also in Carson, interested ir
the case together with Supt. CAN. Mr..
Warren says Of the charges Of the

1t is not true that the Directors Of

adjons the Mt. Dlablo, one of the best
mines in that section. | am accused
Of disappearing with 5000 ounces of
silver, but the shipping receipts are on
file in the office of the company with
out a flaw, and prove that the bullion
in question was shipped 10 the Carson
Mint.
Furthermore l am still Director

malicious in purporl."
They have every hope of releasin g
the bullion, which is to be coined at
the Carson Mint.
Later on in the afternoon an indem-
nifying bond for 81 900 was gIveE to
Wells, Fargo Il CO., and The bullion

The San Francisco Report says:
Both Gill and Warren were arrested at
hawthorne, Nevada, for attempting to
leave the country without paying their
creditors. Three of these creditors,
M.essrs. ingalls,, Read and Gedner,
swere out the warrants for the arrest.
According to the news from Candle
laria the only settlement with these
creditors was that Warren and Gill
would be allowed to go to Carson I'm
| der surveillance and there dispose of
some 5000 ounces of bullion which
had been deposited in the mint and
out OF the proceeds pay the claims of
these creditors. There are other and
larger claims outstanding, and the
Mountain Queen mining property is
likely 10 pass into the Sherff's hands
if they are not paid.
Mr.. ingalls, returned from Carson
last Sunday. He informs us that
Warren and Gill paid 80 per cent. of
all claims presented Except that of
Bolles, which they dispule) and gave
notes TO secure the balance. Wells,
Fargo u Co., released The bullion upon
Ingalls, givlng an indemnity bond of
$1,000. Bellies will bring suit against
the express company for the amount
of his clam.
