VERDICT
TOOK 22 HOURS TO REACH
A DECISION
A Life vai,9 Placed at Only
$500

Yesterday the jury that has had the
ease Of Peers vs.. the Nevada Power
and Land Company rendered its ver
dict The case was submitted to the
jury the day before and it took ar
all night session and nearly half OF
the day to bring in verdict Of $500
for the plaintiff
The case has been one of unusual
interest. A man by the name of :
Wells was killed by coming in contact
with wire that had been bolwn
down during a storm. A law suit
was instituted for $4,000. The de
Tense was based on the lines that the
wrong corporation was the defend
ant to the action. insomuch as the
company sued had not taken charge
CT the plant when the accident occur
red There was no testimony intro
duced showing that the man had not
been killed, the main contention be
| ing that he was not killed by the
company that was defending the &C
| ton.
Expert testimony was introduced on
| both sides One contradicted the
other. What one expert stated wa
This was used by both sides. EyerE
| detail Of the case was drawn out by
the attorneys and the fight was Z
| stubborn one from the very beginning
In the charge to the jury Judge PaN
! ley made a very liberal statement
He stated that the case calls for tw-
points. First, the settlins of the righ'
party to be sued, and secondly, if tn.
party to the action was determined
| the amount Of damages to be award
cd. This left the jury absolutely witt
all the power Of deciding the ques
ton
When the jury came in yesterda
and brought in verdict for $500
general surprise was manifested b
both parties and to all who had TO
lowed the case in its details. Every
body figured that the company wa
liable fer heavy damages. That
the wrong party was sued that Their
could be no damages asked.
The small amount awarded seen,
to place the company sued as the r
sponsible party. but it also places til
value Of life at very low figure. TIL
amount awarded will not cover the a
torney fees. let alone any mOnetaI
reward for the parties opening Il
, suit.

Belmont Tonopah Hits the Big

The expected has happened Tono

good news Two strikes, in fact, have
been made in the past few days
which will bring another boom to the
camp that is attracting the attention
Of the entire community at present
The first strike that was reported
is in the Desert Queen on the $50
foot level: which is the lowest dept.
yet attained. The ledge matter is
eighteen inches thick and exceeding
ly rich. 1t is running parallel to the
great Mizpah ledge and bids fair TO
be one of the best strikes On the IA
nous vein. The character of the CT
| is said to differ from that herctcforc
encountered. This property is in
company. and will probably set the

The big strike, however. has bee.
made in new ground The Belmont
| Tonopah is the favored ground and il
| the reports are half true. the strike is
| the richest yet made. One telegram re
| oeived in this city states that the
ledge is thirty feet through and as
| lays over 5000 per ton. AS several
| kilograms Of this tenor have been re
| ceived, there can be no question as tC
| the reliability Of the news. The same
news was telegraphed to Reno an
! Winnemucca, where parties interostCl
reside.
This strike will be the cause Of :
new rush to the camp. Things have
been rather quiet in the camp th;
past few months and the news vii

DE WINDT A PERSONAL z
FRIEND OF KING EDWARD

Harry De Windt, +. r. G. S., the
distinguished British traveller and au-
thor, who is to appear at the Burtis
opera house Tuesday, Feb. II, under
the auspices of the Tri-City Press
Club. belongs to prominent English
family, and is a personal friend of the
king. He was originally started on
his world wide travel by Queen Vic
toria, and is probably the most noted
traveller alive today. He is well and
favorably known. and his lecture has
created sensation abroad. The sub
ject of his lecture will be his over
land trip from Paris to New York, by
way of Siberia and Behring strait.
The illustrations are remarkable, and
are by the Niscomte de Clinchamp, a
member of De Windt's expedition.
Mr.. De Windt went over the route of
the trans-Siberian railroad in advance
of its construction. and was also en-
gagged by the car of Russia to make
an investigation of Siberian prisons,
and to contradict, if possible, the
statements of Mr.. KEENAN, on that
subject. On his overland trip Mr.. De
Windt narrowly escaped death.
Both the Harper and Century maga-
zines, within the past few months.
have published, in very important
way, the recitals of Explorer Harry
DeWindt's adventures in Siberia, in
his first effort to get through on his
trail from Paris to New York afoot.
These articles are illustrated, and
highly interesting. But they are of
meagre interest compared with the
story that Mr.. DeWindt will tell at
the coming annual entertainment
of the Tri-City Press club, at the
Burtis opera house, on the evening
of Feb. II. The stereopticon will
show the country and its people as
they looked, and the narrative will be
made vivid by the personality of the
adventurer. Mr.. DeWindt is not only
one of the greatest travellers into the
out of the way places that the world
has ever known, but he is one of the
cleverest lecturers.
