Along the ponds on the north and west
sid OF Washoe Lake are tons of dead
fish, mostly perch, and the cause OF their
destruction is figured out by the fisher
men in the following n Last
season all of the ponds in the tules went
dry and drove the fish back into the lake.
Just before the last cold snap a warm
wave hit this section and thawed out all
of the ponds which had filled a few inches
deep and the fish, looking for a spawning
ground, rushed into the shallow water.
The cold weather which came on about
ten day, ago froze the fish in solid, and
cutting of the air, killed them.

THE GOVERNORS CONTEST.
The Supreme Court Sustains Some of
Sadier's Demurters.

Yesterday the Supreme Court rendered
a decision in the case of Mcmillan vs..
Sadler by sustaining some damu-rers
made by the defendant to certain portions
OF ,NIr. McMIl,ian's complaint. The COM
plant alleges that in Humboldt county,
the judges and inspectors Of election
were not selected from both political
parties as required by law. Demurrer
sustained on the ground that the section
WAS not mandatory and that 20 fraud
was alleged as resulting from the APP
pointment made by the commissioners.
1t was charged that in some precincts
people were allowed within 100 feet of
the polls and that the officers of the poll
ing places INDUCED too freely in whisky
The Court sustained the demurrer to
this OH the ground that the parties inter-
ested did not participate in these affairs.
and there was no charge in the COM
plant as resulting from t hese %infring-
ments of the law, which was punishable
by the county authorities.
The failure to count the soldiers vote
was disposed of by citing the ordinance
adopted by the Constitutional Conven-
ton in reference to such vote. which
ceased to be in effect after the Constitu-
ton was adopted and at the present time
there was no law on the statute books by
which the soldiers vote could be counted
The clause i'll the complaint charging
distinguishing marks on the ballots in
some of the eastern counties was also de.
INJURED and the demurrer overruled.
