The present death rate IN Elko is
someth ng terrible. The INDEPEN.
DENT does not know whether al,y-
th ng can be done to Lessen it or not
but il my steps can be taken to stop
the mortality, they SHOULD be taken
at once. There has been consider.
able discussion about the closing OF
the schools as means to that end and
it seems to us that it ought to be done
until the present sickness is stamped
out. The life Of q child is OF vastly
moro consequence to the State than
few weeks schooling to say nothing
about the distress and sorrow that
follow sickness and death. The
Lublic school should at least close
until the present sickness is under
control.

THE LAKESIDE RAIL WAY.
Action Taken Against the sale Of the Com.
pany by the sheriff.

Sometime ago the Sheriff levied upon the
Lakeside Railway Company. advertised the
property for sale on the judgment Of Julia
Ward, formerly Of this place. for si65 90
damages secured for one Of the cars running
into her laundry team three OF four years
ago. Upon the application Of MacHenry
wilhelm, Esq, the court continued the sale
The HERALD on Monday. in the court pro-
ceedinRs. noted that Mr.. Wilhelm had fled a
bin in equity against the company. praying
that the Lakeside Railway Company be re-
strained from proceeding upon the execution
issued on a judgment to sell the property
and franchises of the company and that
receiver be appointed by the court 10 take
| charge Of the property and assets Of the de-
fendant company and to manage the same to
protect the rights of the creditors of the de-
fendant corporation.
The complainant alleges that he is in
formed that the Lakeside Railway Co has
mOrtgaged its property and franchises for
$3.50, 900 aud that bonds have been issued to
that amount on the mortgage. That all or
greater part of the bonds have been sold for
the purpose of raising money to build and
equip the road and that the stock of the COM
pany has been issued to the officers and
others without payment by the holders.
The complainant also AYERS that the
judgment of Julia Ward obtained in suit for
Sl65 has been assigned to L w. Ash and
others, and that money paid for said assign
ment was that of the Lakeside Co., and that
no one else or any corporation has any inter
est in said judgment.
1t is also ayerred by the complainant that
the defendant company is indebted to him in
the sum Of $4,000 for services rendered as its
attorney for four years pas., and that he has
brought suit to recover the amount due him ;
that he is informed that for more than year
past the company has defsulted in the pay
ment of the interest due on the bonds and
that there are other unsecured creditors of
the defendant company whose claims are uu-
paid that the defendant has caused to be
issued on the Julia Ward Judgment several
writs of fl. ia. and in virtue of said wrts has
caused the property and franchises to be ad-
yertised to be sold on Sept. 9th, last; that the
issuing Of said wTits is a conspiracy to de-
fraud the complainant and other unsecured
creditors Of the defendant company, and that
that refusal to pay the interest due on the
bonds shows the defendants to be iusolvent.
