HORSES SHIPPED.
ESQ Range Animals Purchased by
Buyer from Iowa.

S. Gipe of Iowa last week purchased
$50 head of range horses from Ira Nc.
Knight, Raymond Robinson and the
Norman Bros, of White Pine County.
The horses were delivered at Dia.
mond Station Wednesday of this week
for shipment over the f. e. P. r. r. to
Palisade, where they will be shipped
East. The horses ranged in size from
a large-sized jack rabbit to animals OF
1900 pounds weight. Many of them were
trapped in corrals at the springs in
Jake's Valley. Once in the c%orrals, each
animal is secured with a rope from fore
foot to tail, so they could move around
or trot but could not gallop. Usually,
a short experience with this rope at
tachment is sufficient to tame or tire
out the gamiest of the wild herds that
feed upon Eastern Nevada pastures,
when the horseman rides alongside and
cuts the rope with a sharp knife fast
ened to a stick, and the animal is ready
for the drive to a shipping point.
The disposal of even $50 head of these
animals will be appreciably noticeable
during the coming Winter in the up.
land pastures, where better feed will
be found for a better class of stock.

INCREASE In TAX ROLL.
Eureka County Assessment 81, $780,
278.23; Increase S85, 8O9. 23.


1929; Increase S85, 8O9.2 4.
On Wednesday last Eureka County's
assessment roll, on which Assessor w.
]. Hooper has been busy for some time.
was completed and turned over to the
County Clerk.
The assessments and total valuations
OF Eureka County real estate, improve.
ments and personal property are shown
to be $3.50, 27S.23 as compared with
a total valuation of 81, 544, 1859 last year,
showing an increase of $85, SO9. 30 for
the current year.
The years increase comes largely
from patented lands of the Central Pa
cifc Railway Company. Last year the
company was assessed for 12,177 acres
of patented lands and 81 ,349 acres of
unpatented lands. This year their as
sessment included ITO, 1902 acres pat
ented and only 1889 acres of unpatented
lands. The latter are assessed at 10
cents an acre and the former at $I.O0 an
acre.
Ii was expected that the number of
cattle in Eureka County would be con-
siderably less than last year, because of
large sales last fall, but it is found after
looking over the roll this year that the
number is only about 600 head less.

Slide in Jackson Shaft.

A ground slide in the d%ouble-com-
partment shaft of the Jackson mine,
which occurred a few days ago, has
caused considerable trouble to the min
ers in charge. The slide occurred about
sixty feet below the surface, and besides
causing a serious break in the oribbing,
has developed a good size chamber on
the south and east. close to a third COM
partment which has been closed for a
long time and in which the timbers are
soft and rotten. The break being re-
ported to w. ], Hooper, who has charge
for the owners timber and necessary
material was secured, and Rosevear &
Co. are repairing the damage, which
was sufficiently serious to have caused
probable destruction of the shaft, and
cessation of work in that portion of the
Jackson mines.

SUPREME COURT CASE REVERSED
Case of TOnkin VS.. Winzell Is Re-
manded for New Trial.

The water suit of Tonkin VS.. Winzell,
in which plaintiff brought action to re-
cover the water of Pete Hansen creek
n $1,000 damages for the diversion
Of water from his crops and the break
ing of his dam, and in which Judge w.
d. Jones gave a decision alloting water
to plaintiff to the full capacity of his
ditch and $40 damages, was last week
reversed by the Nevada Supreme Court,
and remanded back for a new trial.
The decision was written by Judge
Talbot, Judge Belknap ooncurring.
Judge Fitzgerald did not participate in
the decision, he having been the Dis
trict Judge of Eureka County when the
case first came up for trial.
The judgment of the Supreme Court
seems to have been based OIL questions
of fact, and is in part, as follows:
The finding of the Court that the
Hansen Greek water would not flow to
Shipley Springs in the ~irrigative season.
and the refusal to find that it did SO
flow and that 1t had been used by the
defendants in the beneficial irrigation
of their lands prior to any diversion by
the plaintiff and the rendering of the
decree in his favor when the evidence
does not support it, require that the
Judgment be reversed, and we need not
determine the objection asserting a fail
ure to show plaintiffs necessity for his
ditch full of water in addition to that
coming to his place from Dana creek,
nor the one relating to the refusal of the
court to strike out the hearsay testi.
mony ON which the calculation of the
amount Of hay is based, no the numer'
GUS other specifications of error.
The Judgment and decree are there
fore set aside and the case is re
manded for a new trial.

The patient was taken directly to his
home on Second South street, where he
is under the care of several physicians.
h condition of the patient showed
some improvement after he reached
home and last night he was resting
easily. The trip from California was a
severe tax upon his strength, but he
stood it much better han was antici-
pated. He was in a comatose condition
during the latter part of the trip, but
his determination to reach home pulled
him through and the effect of getting
home once again aroused him so that
he was able to recognize his friends.
Wednesday mornings Salt Lake
papers brought the news of DIR. Dalby's
death the morning after his arrival
home, An autopsy held showed that
the diagnosis made by his physicians
was correct. his death being caused by

DEATH OF MRS. B. L. PLUMMER.
Summons Came Suddenly at Parents
Home in Carson.

News was received in Eureka last
Sunday morning by Ex-Governor Sadler
of the death of his eldest daughter,
Carson City early Saturday evening.
Mrs. Plummer was reported to be doing
as well as the attending physician
could expect, since the birth of a son ON
Saturday, August 30, and her death
was a surprise to her many friends in
Eureka. She was taken suddenly ill
early Saturday evening with convul-
sions and died in about an hour.
Upon receipt of the news Mr.. Sadler
left Immediately for the Sulphur ranch

Mrs. Plummer vas born at Hamilton,
White Pine County, but came to Eu-

ers and a sister to mourn her untimely
and sudden death. She was about 80
years of age. The funeral took place at
Carson City on Tuesday afternoon.
The Appeal says: The funeral was
one OF the largest attended in this
city in a number of months. The death
of the young matron drew the sympa-
thy of the entire community and when
Rev. Darneille spoke the impressive
service of the Episcopal church there
was not a dry eye in the home. The
bier was fairly covered with floral Of
ferings from friends of the deceased
and friends of the family.
Among the many floral tributes was a
handsome II from Iphigenia Chapter
of the Eastern Star of Eureka, of which

Western catttlemen have decided to
build a packing house of their own in
Kansas City, where a meeting was held
the other day to agree upon the articles
Of incorporation. As explained by Q. F.

much to fight the packing houses now

FRANCHISE FOR
LIGHT & POWER co.
Subcommittee on Streets Rec.
ommend the Adoption Of
Such an Ordinance.

There is every probability that Tho
franchise for light and power COM
pany, asked for by certain Broad Street
merchants, will be granted.
The subcommittee on streets ut meet
ing yesterday afternoon recommended an
ordinance to that effect. and that re-
commentator was passed up to the
Street Committee.
In asking that such franchise be
granted. Mr.. Sam Cohen. representing
the Broad Street merchants, referred to
the high cost OF light and power under
present arrangements. He said that It
was almost absolutely necessary to re-
sort to some measure by which the price
might be reduced. and he knew that he
could get capital enough to put up such
q plant, so that the cost to the consumer
would be much less than at present.
Mr.. Charles Winston. formerly MEM
Der OF the Council, was present on the
part Of the Passenger and Power Com
pany. He said that the prices charged
by his company were not excessive, and
bore a favorable comparison to the rates
in other cities.
When the ordinance reached tho Street
Committee, Mr.. J. M. N. Allen moved
that the ordinance be printed SO that
every member of the committee could
read and study 1t carefully. This action
was taken,
