Judge b. F.. Curler and DR.. ]. c.

tilht in front OF the Farmers and

o'clock Monday afternoon. For several

people that looked on with excited IL

open a session OF the district court,
while DR.. u~enuessy went to his Office.
According to DR.. HennesSl's story.
the fight grew ont OF a bet over Il horse

several weeks z Judge euler offered
to bet 800 with DR.. lIeruCssy that his
Che JudGe'sl horse could 20 three mile
heats in 2:i7 or better. The DR.. tool
the bet and suggested that the money
be put up. to which the Judge replied
that their words were good for It. The
race was Ia come of on August 18th. but
OF that day Judge Curler WAS out OF
the city and the race did not came oil.
Then Henuessy inslsteI that the race
should come oil during the fall races.
The Judges horse trottcd during the
races. but failed to come ucar the 2:lI
mark, and Hennessy considered the bet
won.
lie met Judge Curler yesterday and
asked him for the money and Curler
claimed the ruce had never been run
and refused to paw the bet. In the
quarrel that ensued, the lie was passed
and the fight resulted.
Bystanders say tlkat both men struck
wildly and that Curler finally caught
~fienuessy about the waist and upset
him. Al this junciure they were pulled
apart. Heuuessy had IA scratch on his
chin and a button OF his vest WAS miss
ing. Judge Curlcr had IL scratch on
his face. There were no arrests.
The above is DR.. Ilennessy's version
OF the scrap. Judge Curler could not
be seen by the Gazette reporter Ms he
was holCing court. His version may be
entirely different, but whatever il is, II
cannot shield him from public ceusure.
Instead OF the Gazette saying there
were no arrests, IT should have been
able to say that both men were arrested
and woulI DO treated just rs ordinary
persons are under like circumstances.

The route OF the Western Pacific across
Nevada is again the subject Of discus.
sion in the press OF the State. The old
story Of the purchase OF the Virginia 4
Truckee road and a southern route is
again to the fore. The INDEPENDENT
from Beckwith Pass to Winnemucca and
up the Humboldt through Elko he's
been definitely settled IN that the road
will be built ON this line. Tue IL yeys
through this section are being revised
and when this is lone the line OF the
road will be practically located. There
may be a few variations from the revised
survey, but they will not figure III The
general location OF the road.
The Eureka Sentinel i'll speaking OF
the route says: TO pass Palisade has
been a knotiy problem. Not beng able
to get through the pass tine Western
Pacific first surveyed south, finding a
long tunnel necessary that way and
coming out on the ranch eek west OF
Palisade. 1t was costly ana unsaiistac
tory. 4 number OF surveys were made
north and a route chosen that will
require Il deep cut through Ii swale and
lead to Shoshone, west OF Beowawe. An
immense amount Of work will be done at
Palisade."
The engineers have over ,ome all dill
cllties in Palisade and Molecn Fan! ons
and the line has been located. The
holding OF a tunnel site at the month o!
Palisade canyon by the Southern Pacific
will make the Western Pacific cost more
thar 1t otherwise would. but the road
will 60 through. The men back OF the
Western Pacific have had too much cX.
penence in railroad building to be
frightened at such tnfies.
The people OF this section OF Nevada
can count upou the road being built on
the line OF the present survey, all
reports to the contrary notwithst lnding.

TO PROMOTE HARMONY
Special Meetings Called by President
 Fowler of the ". U. 4.

President B. A. Fowler has called special meeting of the board of gover- nors of the Water Users association, to be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock at the association rooms, and has also invited the attorneys of the city to be present with the association officers at another meeting to 'be held in the same place Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 These meetings are for conference in the matter of the priority of water right suit which was recently filed by the association in the name of P. T. Hurley, against all the water users in the valley All who are interested are already familiar with the import ance of the matter and the situation need not be related at this time. The meetings are called for the reason that MT. Fowler has brought with him from Washington certain letters and docu ments that have an important bearing on the case. These he desires to sub init to the board of governors first, as officers of the association.
 The reason for calling the attorneys together is that they stand as a pro- fession in the position of advisers to the community. If there is to be op- position to the attitude taken by the association it must be carried on through the agency of the attorneys. As no oppositions is desired and only the best interests of all are sought, the conference is called that harmony may be promoted. If there is to be oppo- sition~ the association would like to know on what grounds. If the situa- tion can be remedied and the opposi- tion removed so much the better. It is believed that the attorneys have an interest in the community also. more than that which prompts the starting of useless litigation and the meeting therefore :s to he 9 harmony fest"
 The final meeting of the council of the association for this fiscal year was to have been held yesterday at the board of trade but was postponed un- til next Thursday and it is likely that the result of the deliberations on Mon day will be placed before the council at its Thursday meeting.
