Mr.. Mann CRep., I'D said the adop-

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The news comes from Chicago that S.
of Lucky Baldwin to race Cruzados
against McChesney for $4,000 a side.
The race will not take place until
some time in the future, as neither
horse is just now ready to race, both of
them still being laid up from the acct
dent that occurred in the Derby Trial
McChesney and Cruzados are both in
the Sheridan Stakes, TO be run on the
Fourth of July. and it is possible they
will be starters.
The match race will doubtless prove n
strong drawing card. and ought to be a
good race. McChesncy has been seen
in public only twice this year, the first
| time when he was beaten by Aladdin a
head. and in the Derby Trial, when he
fell. Cruzados has been out only once:
in the Derby Trial. In that race he
stopped badly after going six furlongs.
The public performances of the two
horses indicate that McChesney is the
better. but a man of Baldwin's shrewd-
ness must know something 10 induce
him to make a match for so large a
sum. The race will be awaited with
interest.

The Barktey Wine.

More than an ordinary interest is AXE
In the rumors regarding the discovery

on there is no denying. but whether the
property located by Miles and his associ-
ates has anything to do with the Bark
ley mine is only a guess among the
people. The farmers that came in from
the valley yesterday all state hat a
great deal of activity in a mining way
has been going IN for the past week,
and that many strangers are in Little
valley and that all of them are either
talking min or have one located. 1t is
known that sixteen claims have been To-
Gated from one point of the valley to near
the Franktown ranch line. and ii is
claimed that a valuable ledge has been
traced for over three miles. AS it is all
patented land there is little chance
the outsider to get in.

LovelOck Justice Case.

The case of George Young VS.. b. c.
Maris, quo warranto proceedings to de-
termine which is entitled to hold the Of
flee of Justice of the Peace of Lake town
ship. is being heard in the District Court
by Judge s. ]. Bonnifeld today. The at
torneys are Judge NJ. s. Bonnifeld and J.
+. Dennis for the relator and District
Attorney Hood and c. II. Mcintosh for
Mr.. Maris. The morning session was ta-
Ken up with argument by counsel for the
respective parties and 1t was continued
this afternoon.
This case is the outcome of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Maris as Justice of the Peace
of Lovelock by the County Commission
ers at their May meeting. Mr.. Young,
who was reelected to succeed himself
at the election in 1900, failed and refused
TO file his bond and take the official oath
required by law. When these facts were
brought TO the Boards attention the
Commissioners declared the office vacant
and appointed Mr.. Maris to fill the va
cancy during the remainder of the term.
The case brought by Young Is to test the
legality of the appointment made by the
Commissioners. Interesting legal points
are involved and the case will doubtless
