Revenue Law Is Invalid.

The revenue law passed by the
last Legislature was Monday morn
ing declared unconstitutional in an
opinion rendered by Judge S. ]. Bon
nifield Jr in the rnandamus proceed
ings of G. II. K. Hardin VS.. ]. w.
Guthrie, Assessor of Humboldt
county.
He holds that the late act of the
Legislature is clearly unconstitu-
tional for the reason, among others,
that the act provides for depriving
the taxpayer of his property with
out giving notice and an opportunity
to be heard. He referred and read
many authorities directly in point.
1t is probable that the case will be
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
State, where the constitutionality of
the law will be finally decided.-Sil-

Death of c. E. Lana.

Word was received here last Sat
urday afternoon of the sudden death
of G. F. Lang, at Cambridge, that
morning. 1t seems that Mr.. Lang,
who had only returned from Reno a
few days before, had over-exerted
himself last week Friday, and after
supper that evening had gone out
and sat down in a large arm chair
under some trees close to the house.
This was favorite seat of his in the
evening, and frequently he sat there
until quite late. At bed time on this
evening his wife retired, supposing
that Mr.. Lang would be in later. She
did not arouse until morning, and
was surprised to note the absence of
her husband. Upon searching for
him he was found to be still sitting
in the chair under the trees. He was
in very feeble state and partially
unconscious. He was assisted into
the house and DR.. Jones, of this place,
was Immediately summoned, but be-
fore he arrived in Cambridge Mr..
Lang had passed away. The cause
of his death was paralysis and heart
failure.
Mr.. Lang was an old resident of
Reno, where he was formerly of the
firm of Lang & Smith, hardware
dealers. Later on he conducted the
brewery in Reno. About year and
a half ago he purchased the Black
Horse mine, in Cambridge, and, in
partnership with Joe DIETRICH, he
has been operating this property
since that time.
Deceased was a native of Hamburg,
Germany, and came to this country
when IS years of age. His first bust
ness venture was a tinshop in the
then flourishing camp of Mammoth.
Mr.. Lang was 81 years of age, and he
leaves widow and two children to
mourn his loss. He also leaves a
brother-in-law, Chas. Frisch, in Reno.
He was a member of the Masonic
Order, and, it is understood, his life
was insured for $25oo. His re-
mains were taken to Reno Sunday,
where they were inferred last Mon
day. BY his demise the community
loses a man of character and strict
integrity, and many friends sympa-
thize with the widow and orphans
in their loss,

Death of william Ash.

William Ash, an old resident of
Lyon County, died at his home in
Dayton Thursday evening, of COM
plication of diseases, the immediate
cause of death being enlargement of
the liver. William Ash was born in
Germany on the 24th day of Decem-
Der, 1881, and had he lived, would
have been 10 years of age on the 24th,
day of December next. He came to
the United States when boy, cross
ing the plains from New York to Cal
ifornia in 1854, where he remained
until 1862, when he came to Nevada,
and was a resident of Lyon County
continuously up to the time of his
death. He leaves wife, two children
and three step-children besides host
of friends to mourn his loss. The
funeral will take place from the
Court House, Dayton, Sunday after
noon at two O'clock.

The Messrs. M. and &. Cohn, of Car
son, Wieland, OF San Francisco, and
Rudolph, of Marin county, Cal, who
were here last week looking over the
proposition of establishing a cheese
factory in this locality, returned to
their homes the first of this week. 1t
il the intention of these parties to
manufacture a Swiss cheese, such
as now has to be imported, if the feed,
facilities, etc, meet their require
ments. 1t is a question whether or
not such a cheese can be made from
milk produced from alfalfa feed, but
this point is to be tested, we under
stand, at the creamery here under
the supervision of Mr.. Rudolph, who
is an expert cheese maker. The
Creamery Company has agreed to
give these parties the use of the
creamery for seven or eight days to
make the test. In case the expert
ment is success, proposition will
probably be made to purchase the
Creamery, or new building will be
constructed by the new concern.
Should the new company establish
itself here, we understand that it
will agree to pay IS cents per one
hundred pounds the year round for
milk. 1t is also stated that the COM
pany will require the farmers to
sign a written contract of a some
what binding nature to furnish so
much milk per day to the factory the
year round. AS before stated, the
cheese that it proposes to manufac-
ture is such as is now being almost
wholly imported, and is high-priced
article, selling, we understand as
high as forty cents pound. Should
the company succeed in manufac-
turing it here it will open up an en-
terprise of considerable revenue to
itself as well as to the farmers of
this community.
