In The Justice Court.

The case ofClaude Burchell VS..
c. w. Verplank, was heard by a
jury in Justice e. w. Black S
court Thursday afternoon. The
suit was one in which the plain
tiff sought to have the defendant
pay $25, alleged to be due as

fendant who convinced the jury
that the alleged debt had been
paid once, although no receipt
had been rendered for the
amount.

A. o. White, a special agent OF
the general land office for Ne
vada with headquarters at Sac
ramento, spent several DAYS in
Fallon aud vicinity this week
leaving for Hazen Thursday.
He was here for the purpose OF
Investigating the homes tead en-
tries that have been made in the
territory embraced by the gov
erument reclama tion project.
He states that it is the purpose
of the Interior Department that
tie law governing homestead
entries shall be strictly enforced.
His inves tigation has shown
that many entrynen have falla-
cious ideas regarding these laws,
as homestead selections of a
year ana more ago, nave IN a
great number of cases, absolute
ly 10 improvements as evidence
of good faith.
Such entries are subject to
contest either by the govern
ment or private parties desiring
the land, and in view OF the fact
that it is the intentio of the
government that homesteads i'll
all cases shall be bona fide
homes; and that there will be a
great demand for every claim oi
land in the Carson sink, home
steaders who would retain their
claims must comply with the
law.
1t should be remembered by
claimants that a successful con-
test deprives them of their
homestead right.

Unless all signs tail an Observ-
ance of the common laws of hu-
manity will be a large contribu-
ting factor in placing Churchill
couuty's financial condition on
the bad side OF the ledger i'll the
near future
The INDECENT fund receives at
the present time only five ceuts
on each $1.67 collected as taxes,
which on Churchill county's
valuation of last year-$1 500
900 IN round nu mbers-gave on
ly $3.50 for the care of the paup-
er sick and helpless, While this
years assessed valuation is
some what higher, ST., ,750, 900
being a conservat tive estimate,
it will yield c lily 1855 for the
indigeut fund, leaving a deficit
for the present fiscal year of at
least $l75O.
Previous to the commence
ment of the governments recla-
nation project in this section, a
deficit in any of the several
county funds was unknown, the
INDECENT fund show wing a surplus
OF 5000 at the close of the year
1908. But with the influx of
poor laborers' the care of their
sick and criminal have drawn
very he's vlly upon the conting-
ent and INDECENT coun v funds,
the shortages of the two later
funds being made up from the
general fund.
Five hundred and fifty one dol
lars were expended during the
quarter ending December 30,
1904, for the poor and sick,
while the past January
and February have cost the tax
PAYERS S35O.9O and $48S.94 re
spectively, a part ofwhich, how
ever, was expended in caring for
contagious diseases.
During the present month
$32O.64 will be spent, and in
order to meet these expenditures
it was found necessary by the
county commissioners at their
last monthly meeting to trans
fer $500 from the general coun-
ty fund to the INDECENT fund,
with further appropriations as
sured throughout the ensuing
year.
According to available figures
the general, contingent and indi-
gent funds of Churchill county
showed a surplus on April 1st,
1908, of $4,000. Now, nearly
two years later when all figures
are reckoned with, this surplus
has been reduced to $2909,
which with an estimated deficit
for this year of $15,97S.25, will
leave an indebtedness for the
taxpayers to shoulder of ap-
proximately $4,000, allowing
the county its share of state
money.
These are figures that stare
the Churchill county property
owners in the face, and can be
remedied only by levying addit-
ioual tax, as the present county
administration has curtailed ex-
penses in every direction posi-

proves ii. The bill authorizes the

possibilities or for mineral wealth.
