Long Litigation Threatened

East of the town of Rhyolite lies
the Ladd & Benson property, which is
at present tied up by big suit. The
original locator of the ground was a
man named Ladd. With Otis Johnson
Ladd came south to prospect for some
Tonopah people. They found nothing
of Importance before one or the other
of them had to go back for supplies.
1t was decided that johnson should go.
While he was on his way Ladd
Joined forces with a prospector named
Benson and the two located the Ladd
& Benson mining property that was
later sold to the Bullfrog Mines COM
pany. Johnson has just filed suit,
claiming that he was frozen out when
he came back from Goldheld with sup
plies. AS both sides to the controversy
have a great deal at stake, 1t appears
probable that one of the greatest suits
ever fought in Nevada will result be-
fore this property is freed.

Pitches Fine Ball
Los Angeles 10. Tacoma o.


The Tigers folded up their tents and
silently stole away yesterday afternoon.
They we're depressed and peevish at
the whims of fate and fortune and at
outs with the world generally. The
final diamond session of the twelve
games series between the men of Fisher
and the Seraphs resulted disastrously
70. the northerners, and when they
finally collected their bats and things
thirteen of the Morleyltes had trotted
around the cushions.
Fitzpatrick handed over the twisters
for the northerners in the first two per-
iods. During Mr.. Fitzpatricks brief
occupancy of the box the Angels man
aged to secure five hits and six COM
plete ambles from the ex-1remans gen.
erous delivery.
Halls CLASSY Work
Warren Hall spun the sphere for the
Angels and right valiantly did he per-
form the work assigned to him. Two
lone hits were all the visitors could get
from the big man and the two wallops
were scattered over four innings.
Rusty" had everything yesterday, and
the lads from Tacoma town were abso-
lutely helpless when it came to clout-
ing his productions for material results.
Nordyke tore off one of the Tigers
bingles in the opening period but they
couldn't use it. The Seraphs opened up
nicely on Fitzpatrick in their first at
tempt to clout the sphere. Bernard
scraped one to Tommy" Sheehan.
which the little first baseman failed to
basket and Bernie was safe at Nor
dykes corner. Flood laid down a sacri-
flee which put Bernard on the second
cushion. Jud Smith then placed a hard
single in the left pasture and Bernard
was the first Seraph to dent the rubber.
The first half of the second period was
distinguished by rather queer and
unique Interpretation of baseball rules
by j. Ira Davis. After three and two
had been called on Lynch Hall passed
one up which hit Michaels bat and the
umpire gentleman urged him along to
first thereby establishing a rather dam
gerous and revolutionary precedent in
diamond law.

Fine in the Second

But the generosity of Davis failed to
benefit the Tigers, for the next two men
to endeavor to clout the sphere all ex-
pired on infield bingles and Lynch was
pinched off second.
And how the Angels did get to Mr..
Fitzpatrick in their half of the second.
Brashear famed and Toman drew a
ticket and promptly stole second.
Spies went to the first angle through
the kindness of Fitz, but Hall also
waited the atmosphere. Then Bernard
walked, filing the bases.
Tim Flood then possessed himself of
a billet and lifted out a nice two-horse
baste to the score board, clearing the
bases and going to third on the throw
in. Jud Smith followed all this good
work by placing a double in left and
Flood came to the pan. Dillon raped
one along to the same pasture, which
put Smith on the third angle Smith
made good use of McLaughlin's viii
famous pass of Dillons hit and made
it six for the Morleyites.
Serap.s Hammer Brown
Tacoma was moved down without
making use of the initial bag in the
third. Brown was substituted for Fitz-
patrick on the mound and held the Ser
apis down in the third, but in the
fourth Floods rap to left brought Ber-
nard over for the second time. The
sixth produced three more of 'em for
bo
Flood on the bags Cravath doubled to
center clearing the circuit. Cravath
scored on Brashear's drive to left.
Another Angel tapped the tin in the
seventh period. when, after a timely
combination of outs and safe hit,
Toman scored when Graham slammed
the ball to second in an effort to nab
Bernard.
The eighth inning was productive of
the last two circuit completers for the
natives. With two down. Cravath
singled over third and Brashear passed
one to Nordyke which got through
both the Tiger first baseman and
Hogan, who tried to back him up.
Crayath completed his journey. Then
Toman reached one into left, good for
two bags, and Brashear formed the
rearguard Of the Seraphic procession.
After the action was over Judge
Davis announced that Messrs. Spies
and Brashear had been fined $5 apiece
for unnecessary arguing" in connec-
tion with the case of Mr. Lynch when
the latter was at the bat in the second
period

mothers name was Flanagan He
was asked if he could appreciate a
good joke. and what a joke is. He said
Joke is something with point, and
declared that a needle might be joke.
He was asked 10 give an illustration of
a joke. and said that the best joke he
ever heard was one printed in Thu
Argus. telling that w B. Mcintyre was
TO tell an original story.
Mayor-elect George w. McCaskrin
was the next witness, and told that he
knew of Mr. McIntyre's having a cata-
logue of jokes. and that he read all the
almanacs.
Horace Edwards, neighbor of Mr..
McIntyres. said that he was a student
of ancient languages. and had found
that most of Mr. McIntyTe's jokes came
from the writings of the prehistoric
races Many came from the tombs of
the Egyptians. The case for the de-
Tense was augmented by alleged affida-
Wits from John ID. Rockefeller and
Chauncey NJ. Depew, purpoTting to
show that these two men had suffered
from the effects of Mr. McIntyre's re-
petition of old jokes. II. II. Cleave-
land said that when Mr.. Mcintyre was
a neighbor of his he had to keep the
refrigerator locked to prevent Mr. Nc
Intyre from pilfering it, DR.. V. A
Bergland said he had examined several
of Mr.. McIntyre's jokes, and had found
them ossified and mummified. He said
they had been brought TO him for re-
pairs. DR.. Joseph De Silva described
Mr. McIntyre's physical condition. He
said it was the result of overworking
his digestive organs.
Expert Says Jokes Are New.
In Tebuttal for the plaintiff Ralph
Haverstick said he was a student of
jokes, and had found that Mr. Mcintyre
never made use of old jokes. or any
thing but original stories. DR.. w. O.
Snivley testified as to the plaintiffs
physical condition. and contradicted
large part of the evidence of DIR. De

Tt is to be hoped that Charley Weiss is
satisfied. Joe Grant threw his man. Joe
O'Neil, twice in decisive fashion at the
Washington Light Infantry Armory last
night.
1t was a fast, exciting match, in which
something was doing all the time, and
warranted a much larger crowd than
was present. O'NeiI proved to be a foe
man worthy of Grants best efforts. and
kept the Washington man on the go all
the time. That he was a good man was
proved when he gained the second fall
in eleven minutes and five seconds. He
was unusually strong in the legs. but
was not as strong in the neck as he
looked, and Grants half-nelsons con-
stantly forced him to bridges and to do
a little spinning.
Tried New Holds.
The Washington man tried some of the
new crotch and leg holds which were
sprung on him when he wrestled Cham
pion Frank GotcI1, but O'Neil was too
clever to be caught by any of the ordi-
nary tricks Of the game. and always
wriggled ont of tight places. The scheme
OF getting his opponents head between
his legs and then merri1y choking him
to death was used by Grant, but some
how ii did not seem to produce the re-
suits noted when the champion appeared
here two weeks ago. ONeiI got out of
one of these holds. and by a quick move
ment threw Grant TO the mat with "a
soulful thUd that shook the building
After this sad experience Grant went
back TO his old scissors and half-nelson
combination, which has won him SO
many matches. His legs always did look
like they had been sewed to his lungs
in a loose and temporary fashion, and
last night they seemed longer than ever
before. He wrapped them around
O'NelfS body, locked his feet and
squeezed all the wind out of him. After
that came the nelson hold, and O'Nefl
was down in twenty minutes for the
first fall.
