high and ten feet in diameter, cut out
OF coarse sandstone. He appreciated
the gift and its originality. and, to show
his appreciation. christened the bowl by
having four barrels of the strongest
punch TO be had poured into It The en-

many others made merry on the con-
tents. After this memorable dedication
the bowl was given 10 the city and sta

BOUNDARY SUIT
Partial Victory for Both Sides Of
the Contest

The noted boundary line suit of Lyon
against Storey county, which has been
on trial for over a week at Carson, has
resulted In partial victory for both par
ties.
Lyon sued for a strip of territory en-
bracing fourteen miles of the Southern
Pacific railway, but her attorneys admit
I'd in court that she was emitted to but
five and seven-tenths miles.
They conceded to Storey the remaining
eight and three-tenths miles that were in
dispute.
A jury has returned verdict giving
Lyon the five and seven-tenths miles as
claimed. Storey will appeal the case i'm
mediately, having given bond already.
The location of Reed station was the
important issue on which the suit hinged
and much confusion resulted in attempt
ing to locate the place.

Higman, who owns a piece of land at

junction was issued and served on the

stopped for about one hour, when the

does not belong to Higman, but to the
government, Higman having lost title by
allowing liquor to be sold on the property
in VIC alton of the provisions Of the

1t is now said the company will not
