1t is expected hat operations will soon
begin by the a Pedro. Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroad in the wash, as all the
legal difficulties between the Short Line
and the San Pedro have been satisfac-
torily settled. Word has also been re-

begin grading and we car look for things
being pretty lively this summer, with both

OoIconda Assault Case.

C. Polkinghorne, a Golconda merchant.
and George Brady. his s%on-in-law. were
arrested at Golconda last Friday, on COM
paint of a man named Snyder. who
charged them with assault and battery.
One Of the cases was to have been tried
in the Golconda Justice Court today but
was continued on account OF the Illness Of
Justice Langwith. r.. A. Quicker was re-
tanned as counse for the defendants.
whose trial will take place before a jury.
1t is said that there has been il-feeling
between ~Polkinghorne and Snyder for
some time. the latter having been employ
ed by the former and there having been
trouble between them. 1t Is stated that
since Snyder has written Mr.. Polking-
horne several letters of a threatening and
wholly contemplate nature Last Friday
Polkinghorne and Brady met Snyder on
the street and gave him a beating. From
what can be learned. the general senti-
ment at Golconda seems to be that the
defendants were justified In taking sum-
mary measures In dealing with Snyder.
n that the punishment he received was
considerably short of what he deserved.

LOvEI0cK'S JUSTICE.
Commissioners Declare the Office Vacant and
Make An Appointment.

The County Commissioners yesterday
removed Justice of the Peace George
Young, by declaring the office vacant
and appointing a successor. The va
cancy was declared on account of, Justice
Young having failed to file his official
bond as required by law, though he had
been duly notified to do so. 81 -.
There has been a great deal of COM
plant of the loose way in which the du-
ties Of Justice of the Peace ave been
attended to during Mr.. Young's incum-
bency in office, and especially since the
the case of the negro who was arrested
in Lovelock several weeks ago for shoot
dow. The negro, it viii be remembered,
was allowed to plead guilty to a minor
charge, the trial being held in the jail at
night, fined 500 and costs sand shipped
sout of town before any one knew a trial
was being held. When arrested the negro
had about $500 in money on his person.
and 1t was openly asserted at. Lovelock
that he escaped being prosecuted for fell
rony by buying OF those concerned in the
prosecution and administration of the
laws In Lovelock.
1t is also what might be called a no.
torious fact that within the last six years
but three or four Justice Court fines have
been turned into the county treasury by
the Lovelock court, though there are nu-
merous cases within the memory of Love-
lock people where fines have been levied
and presumably collected. One Of the
fines turned into the county treasury was
that Of 500 paid by the negro and mem
toned above.
Everything considered, there was GER
tainly need for a change in the Loveiock
Justice Court and the appointment of a
new Justice will doubtless be welcome
news to the people of Lovelock and be of
benefit to the State school fund. which re-
ceives the money collected by Justice
Court fines.

CATCHING WILD HORSES.


Lander County Cowboys Capture and Sell Sew
~ e.aeral Hnadred Head. aaevA
The Austin Reveille says: After six
days of Indifferent luck in running wild
horses in lone, Smith creek n Reese riv.
er valleys, the crowd assembled for that
purpose disbanded Thursday after cap
and unbranded. A large number were
also shot. All in all, including colts. It
can be estimated that the range has been
depleted of nearly $50 head. nes
1t was also proven that the only proper
way to capture the horses is by building
trap corrals In Smith creek valley, for
the horses driven from the uppe part
Of that valley and lone valley will turn
back on reaching the buttes opposite
Peterson's ranch In Smith creek.
In Wednesdays drive there were over
500 head brought from lone valley. and on
reaching the buttes. the fun began. Horses
were running In every direction, n on
arriving at Reese the herd had diminished
to about 12o head. OF that number ninety
three were corralled after miles of barbed
wire fencing had been torn down by the
horses. g &C. W
In the herd captured 122 were for sale.
A horse buyer was on the ground and
made an offer for the horses. His price
small and as J. r., Wilson had a
standing offer OF IS head, he got the
horses, which he shipped yesterday over
the Nevad Central. The horses are for
the Eastern market.
The money derived from the sale Of the
horses will be divided pro rata among
those taking part in the roundup. after
paying all the expenses incurred.
1t is proposed to hold another roundup
this fall, trap corrals being placed in
certain places in Smith creek valley. 6

THE TROUBLE IN Hawaii
President Determined to Restore
Peace and Unity.
WILL EXPLAIN THE SITUATION
Hon. George R. Carter, Prominent Poll.
tician Of Honolulu, Summoned Here
for Tha, Purpose,

Senator George Il. Carter, of the leg
islature of the territory of hawaii, Is
now in Washington, as a sort of COM
inform him as TO the political situa-
ton in Hawaii. Carter is well-known
young business man of Hawaii who
was elected to the last senatorial sem
ate on the republican ticket. A few
days ago, when Hawaii was agog with
reports that GOV. Dole was about TO be
removed and Samuel Parker was to be
put in his place, Carter received per-
sonal letter from the president, inyit-
ing him to make statement OF the
situation in the territory. The letter
was complete surprise TO the recipi-
ent, who has never met Roosevelt and
did not know that the chief executive
was aware Of his existence.
Carriers task is compared in Hawaii
to that which President Cleveland inn
posed upon the late j. III. Blount, Of
Georgia, when the latter was sent TO
Hawaii, after the overthrow OF the
monarchy, to investigates, as para
mount commissioner what had taken
place, and report TO Washington.
Since Carter received his letter, he has
had much the same experience as
Blount had, having been called on by
party leaders OF all kinds and business
men generally. who were DESTROYS of
getting their views before him before
he left for Washington. The presi-
dents letter indicated that he expect
ed Carter to write statement, but
Carter preferred TO seesthe president
in person.
In Hawaii the impression prevails
that the action of the president por-
tends general reorganization OF the
territorial government. Ever since
the organic act by which Hawaii was
made a territory went into effect the
islands have been torn by political dis

BOARD OF TRADE is AWAKE.
m Option on the Baltimore and Ohio
shop Buildings Has Been Secured and
a New York Promoter is working
with the View of Locating
Big Industry Here.

While the Board of Trade is not
making great noise about its work.
it is. nevertheless, constantly on the
lookout for something that will help
to bring Martinsburg to the front.
Almost every day something is done
along that line communications from
capitalist seeking information about
inducements are received and answer
ed. etc.
One of the things that have been
accomplished by the board is the Sc
curing of an option on the Baltimore
and Ohio shop buildings for the same
consideration that was agreed upon
when the Bickford and Huffman prop
osition was under consideratlon-$l0
600 and some land at the Northern
edge of the city limits.
This option was secured at the re-
quest of a New York promoter who
has several companies that want To-
cation and who didn't o. re TO work
toward locating any plant here unless
he was absolutely sure that the shop
buildings could be had. The B. q o.
agreed to give the option ard gave 1T
for period of six months, the only
restriction being the clause provid-
ing that II the company should at
any time receive direct offer from
anv firm that wanted to locate In the
buildings they would have mower to
accept the offer.
This was entirely satisfactory to
the oard of Trade Committee, as 1T
n,skas no difference how an industry
l. iocated, whether through the B.
& .. or through the Board Of Trade,
just so some good one is located.
The New York promoter has sever
al companies which want to locate
somewhere and he will negotiate
with them for locating here. A rep.
resentive of one of the companies
desiring to locate Is expected in the
city in few days to look at the
buildings and TO secure information.
