WADSWORTH
Coming Events Promise
Substantial Town.

The demand of the government that
the contractors on construction of the
canal complete their contracts on
time will force the contractors TO hire
several hundred more men and put
them to work in this vicinity as soon
as the weather permits. Business has
been improving lately and is now fair,
but 1t will continue to improve because
OF this and other reasons, the principal
being the number Of transient people
visiting this section to look over the
canal project and become familiar
with the land that will be irrigated.
The work on the main canal is pro-
crossing favorably. Other than bust
ness flowing here by construction of
that branch Of the canal which will
ultimately irrigate in all $4,000 acres.
extending from Wadsworth to the
north, and the lateral bitches of which
will be mapped out by the surveyors
during the year.
There is little doubt now that when
the Western Pacific is constructed it
will pass through or near Wadsworth.
The Olinghouse mines promise a
larger production of gold this year the
ore is blocked out now than ever in
their history. The mineral belt may
be developed from Olinghouse Canyon
to Ninth Crossing on the river.
The moving of the Southern Pacific
plant from here will paralyze business
for time while it is happening, and
the town will have to readjust itself to
the new conditions. The readjust-
ment will be pruning knife seemingly
fearful in effect, but necessary to the
greater growth and substantial develop
ment of the town.
But there will be new town. and
the nucleus of it will be the splendid
modern schoolhouse, the power and
light plant, the business houses estab-
lished many years, and the Nevada
House, a hotel the peer of any in any
country town on the coast.

CANAL WORK.
The Government Continues to
Urge Contractors to Com
p1ete the Big Canal.

The work on the big canal is now
going ahead very noticeably, The
cold weather is nearly over for the
season and there will be little hindrance
from storms. The order has been
issued from the government to the
contractors to complete the work on
time. and no excuses will be accepted
for failure to do so. Owing TO the
frnness Of the government in the
matter the various contractors have
been gradually increasing the force of
men, animals and implements, but the
increase to date has not been satisfac-
tory to the inspectors, and a further
increase of about 25 per cent of the
present force is demanded from now
on that the work may be completed in
contract time.
A view Of the work from passing
trains shows bold outline Of the canal
for many miles and that the scheme is
50 we'll under way that any slghtseer
can now realize the immensity Of it
The winter quarters of the different
contractors and their forces loom up
along the line OF the canal and present
the appearance Of small villages.
The sury~ yors in government en-
poy are getting ready for field work,
which for this season will consist prir-
clpally in running lines for lateral
bitches from the main canal. 1t is
estimated that the force Of surveyors
will be at least one hundred, and there
will be plenty Of hard work for all.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
STILL AT WORK ON THE CRIMINAL
DOCKET.
The White Cap Cases Postponed Un-
till Next Thursday.
THE GRAND JURY MAKES ITS FINAL
REPORT AND IS DISCHARGED.

Circuit Court continues busy
on State cases. Oscar Franklin,
who was on trial when The Lead.
er went to press Wednesday, for
assault anu battery on negro,
was found guilty by the jury. In
the case of the State VS.. Sam
Posey, for assault and battery
with intent to kill and murder,
which grew out of the same affair
in, which Oscar Franklin was the
actor, there was a mistrial, the
jury being equally divided and
tied up all Wednesday night.
The greater portion Of Thurs
day was spent in the trial of Robt.
Rucks, colored, for the murder
of his sweetheart, Maggie San
ders, near Caseyyille, a few
months ago. The State made out
a strong case against the accused,
and the jury found him guilty
and fixed his punishment at life
Imprisonment. Messrs. M. Nc
Cullough and E. B. Harris were
appointed by the Court as special
counsel to defend Rucks, and it
was no doubt due to their efforts
that he did not receive the death
penalty. Mr.. McCullough's man
agement of the case and his speech
before the jury especially have
been very highly complimented.
Geo. Davidson, coIored, plead
guilty and was given one year in
the pen for shooting Ed. McDan-
iel, with intent to Kill.
The white cap cases we're called
Thursday afternoon, but on mo-
tion Of counsel for the State, we're
postponed until next Thursday
morning. Messrs. Thos. Brady,
A. C. McNair and P. z. Jones
have been retained as special
counsel to assist the district attor-
ney in these cases and Messrs. III.
Cassidy and j. N. Yawn are re-
tained for the defense. About a
dozen persons have been indicted
for white-cappng, and the State
moved postponement because of
the absence of important witness
es, which there was not time to
secure if the cases had proceeded
when called, and which it is ex-
