CARLIN NOTES.

Carlin as divisional railroad town has
lost much Of its Importance. inssmuch as
through the sweeping consolidation OF
main divisions, scarcely sufficient traffic
remains to justify the existence Of the
solitary merchandise store on an exten-
sive scale, which is conducted by j. w.
Puett. Instead Of some fifty families OF
men who operated the trains over three
years ago, only one resides here ct pres
ent. OF course, there are small shops
where limited repairs are undertaken
with limited number OF hands, whose
families are stationary. The heavy repair
work along the line OF the railroad now
devolves upon the shops located at
Ogden, Wsdsworth and Sacramento,
respectively. in accordance with their
distances.

THE GOvERNoR INTERvIEwED


From the Carson Appeal Of June al
Noticing an editorial in the Carson
News severly rejecting on the Su-
preme Court and charging that Cover
nor Sadler prior to his election, had
given a written pledge to appoint
party whose name is not given
in the editorial, a reporter OF the
Appeal interviewed the Governor in
regard to those portions Of the article
rejecting upon him. The Governor
stated that the charge was malicious
falsehood. That he had not pledged
himself before nor since the election
either verbally or in writing to appoint
any one United States Senator in case
Of the death or resignation of either
Senator Stewart or Senator Jones.
That he had learned that this miser-
able falsehood had been circulated in
reference to him prior to the election
but supposed that it had died after the
election. as campaign falsehoods
usually do, and was astonished when
his attention was called to il.
The Governor further said that ever
since and before this contest was com.
menced before the Supreme Court the
News and other Republican papers in
the State had been endeavoring TO
create prejudice against him evidently
for the purpose of misleading the
people in regard to the true character
of the case and indirectly OF influence
ing the Supreme Court in its decisions
upon the case. He further said that
upon the most reliable information, he
had learned that the Republicans Of
the State have been appealed to to
contribute and had contributed lib
orally for the purpose of unseating
him and seating Mcmillan, for par
tisan purposes upon grounds purely
technical. He has further reason to
believe that all or nearly all of the
articles that have appeared in the
News in relation to him and the case
have been either written or inspired
by one or more OF McMillan's attor-
news.

Resolutions.

We, the members of the official board,
expressing the wishes of the entire con-
gregation of this, the First Church of
Christ of Mankato, Mimi, on account
of the illness of our beloved brother
and pastor. Fl. Jas. Crockett, do hereby
resolve:
First, that in his sickness and suffer
ing, we extend our deepest sympathy,
and sincerely regret his forced absence
from our midst. We sincerely pray
that, by the blessing of God he may be
soon restored to his wonted health,
that he may soon be able to WELD the
Sword of the Spirit with the same
power and success that has attended
his labors in the past; that in his sepa-
ration from us, we lose true Christian
gentleman, a warm friend, and an able
and efficient preacher and pastor. We,
therefore. take pleasure in commencing
him to the brotherhood, and hope that
when his health shall have been re-
stored, he may find pleasant field in
which to labor.
Second, that these resolutions be re-
corded in our minutes, and copy of
the same be sent to our leading reli-
gious papers for publication.
Done by order of the official board,

England is not having the walk. away
it expected, as was given to believe it
would have, in the South African cam
paign and is now making preparations
on large scale. Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener have been called to
take charge of affairs there and more
men will be hurried forward. AS yet
the campaign has revealed no British
commander of great military genius, and
that is what England badly wants just
at present. Lord Roberts may meet
the demand and again he may not.
The seriousness of the situation just
now, arising from the British reverses,
is said to be the threatened uprising of
the native tribes From the British re.
verses, they are beginning to think the
time has come, not only to throw off
British domination, but to drive the
white man from their domains. If this
should come the Beers and British are
likely to suffer alike, for the natives
hate the former as badly as the latter.

THE TINKCOM'CASE
The Transfers of Property tt
the Lundbergs.
Evidence in This Sensational Case is
Completed, and the Case Is
Submitted.

The Tinkcom divorce trial came to an
end at eleven o'clock Wednesday, hav-
ing been argued and submitted to Judge
Quinn, who now has it under advise
ment. AS each side asks for divorce,
the division of the property is the main
bone of contention. Mrs. Tinkcom asks
for divorce o. the ground of deser-
ton and asks for one-third of the prop
erty on the basis of it's aggregating S75,-
900. Mr.. Tinkcon asks for divorce
on the ground of desertion and on
several other grounds, and does not de-
sire to give up any property. He esti-
mates his wealth at about $4,000. If
Mrs. Tinkcom gets the divorce she is
sure to get more of the property than if
the court finds that Mr.. Tinkcom is
entitled to the divorce.
The attorneys agreed not to go into
the disagreeable features of the case
any more than was necessary, and this
fastened it to an end.
Mrs. Mary E. Soule followed Mrs.
Tinkcom on the stand Tuesday after
noon and testified to hearing Mr.. Tink-
com say that Mrs. Tinkcom had sent
him large sums of money to invest for
her. She said that Mr.. and Mrs. Tink-
com were on friendly terms at the time
that Mrs. Tinkcom was living with Mr..
Prescott as the latter's wife, and that the
arrangement between Mr.. Prescott and
Mrs. Tinkcom seemed to be satisfactory
to Mr.. Tinkcom. Mrs. Soule testified to re-
marks which she claimed to have heard
Mr.. Tinkcom make in regard to the
beauty of the nude forms of three or
