pioneers, died here at his home last Satur-

doubtful.
He came TO Austin from the East in the
early days, and from there drifted to White
Pine, coming to Eureka in 1870, where he
engaged in carpentering. He left a small
amount Of property which he willed to his
daughter, Mrs. Tillie Shepherd Of Jersey

A part of the article published in last
weeks SENTINEL, taken from the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, referring to Tom Lanes
mining trouble in Mexico, is reprinted in
the White Pine News Of Nov. 16. That
paper. commenting on the affair, says:
The above news has excited considerable
interest here, and the opinion of those who
have had business dealings with Nh. Lane
seems to be that there is another side to the
story that would not reflect to his credit.
He failed to keep nearly every agreement
that he made with the owners of the Chain
man and Jupiter mines here, and the
probabilities are that in Mexico he found a
mar who wouldn't stand his work."

general assault ON Ladysmith wa pending
when General Joubert's report was sent off.
Attention is called to the fact that the
date November 9th is assumed to be the
date Of General Whites last pigeon message
announcing the renewal of the lombard
ment, since which nothing has been received
except rumors from Estcourt that the bonn
bardment was suspended November 10th.
1t is claimed that If the Beers got their
forces within 800 yards of the British po-
sition. it shows that they fully realized the
necessity of utilizing the brief interval
between the arrival Of the British reinforce
ments to make a determined attempt to
storm Whites position.
The cessation of the cannonading men,
toned in the dispatches and the opening of
muskctry fire implies, it is claimed, that
the Beers were obliged to stop their artil.
lery fire for fear Of hitting their own men.
That nothing further has been heard is
regarded here as an indication that the
threatened assault was postponed or that
the result was indecisive, otherwise, it is
claimed, something further would have
leaked out before now.

In the suit Of washoe county vs.. Eureka
county, recently tried at Carson before
Judge Mack of the First Judicial District
Court, a judgment was renderedfo FOL Eureka
Saturday.
II will be remembered that this action
was brought for the care AID support Of
one. John Fitzgerald, furnished by Washoe
county between August, 1892, and July,
1898. Washoe's claim for recovery against
Eureka was based on the fact that Fitz-
GERALD had been, some time previous to his
arriving at Reno, an INDECENT resident of
Eureka. Under the statutes, il is made the
duty Of a county furnishing temporary
relief, seeking to make the county Of an
indigent's residence responsible therefor, to
Immediately notify the latter county Of the
facts in the matter. Washoe claimed to
have properly notified Eureka at the time,
and introduced some proof at the trial on
this point, but Eureka offset it by proof
that no notice whatever had ever been re-
ceived until the claim was presented, fully
six years after Fitzgerald's entrance into
the Washoe hospital.
Judge Mack held that nc legal notice had
reached Eureka's commissioners. 1t is
believed that the action may be carried to
the Supreme Court; this is merely con-
lecture, however.
The suit was for 50, 1872. but Eureka's
losing the Ease would mean a great deal
more money. Hon. +. II. Norcross and
District Attorney Williams were for
Washoe, and Hon. Thos. Wren and Dis.
trict Attorney Bartlett for Eureka.
