Charged With Cruelty TO Natives

Berlin, April 27.-The trial of a
German planter named Mismahl, own
er OF extensive estates in German East
Africa, on the charge of indlcting grave
bodily injuries to negro employees was
concluded here today. The evidence
showed that the natives of the district
Sho were employed on the plantations
were friehtiully mistreated by Mismahl,
who had them Aogged merciIesSIy, lash
ing the negroes on their bare backs until
they bled and became unconscious from
the terrible punishment. 1t was also
shown that when the contracts of ne
groes to work for fixed periods expired,
Mismahl detained them 10 slavery, forcing
them to work by Aogging them. Mis-
mah's attorney, 10 defending his client,
offered evidence to show that this treat
nient of natives is common throughout
the colony, and that Mismahl had only
done what all the German settlers in the
district do. The court recognized these
extenualiug circumstances and merely
sentenced MIsmabl to pay fine of $25.

A new WAGON
ROAD TO WONDER
Telegraph and Telephone Line Among
the improvements

J. T. Cobb, justice Of the peace for
Wonder township, business man and
all-around GOOD fellow. spent the first
Of the week in Fallon. He was called
here ON business connected with the
WoLler-Fallon telephone enterprise,
which Mr.. Cobb informs us has al
ready asscmed tangible form. On Wed
nesday the commissioners board grant
ed franchise to tie company which
Mr.. Cobb represent = nse the tele-
phone poles between this place and
Saltwater for period Of three years.
According to Mr. Cobb, the company
will be equipped for both telephone and
telegraph service and will be backed by
both local and outside capital, although
he was not in position TO give out the
names OF those responsible for the new
company. Active work will be COM
menced at once upon the line between
Wonder and saltwater, and it is fig
ured TO have all construction work
completed by the time the railroad en-
ters Fallon. Connections will be made
with the outside world with the West
crn Union telegraph line, which will be
exteneed to Fallon with the railroad.
Mr.. COBB stated hat the line would
be a competing enterprise With the Fair
view Telephone Company, and would,
in all likelihood, be extended INTO Fair
view before tie winter passed. The
best OF equipment will be used in the
construction OF the line, ana the service
which the new company proposes to
give the public shall be second to none.
The county commissioners board
granted 500 appropriation during
their session Wednesday afternoon to
/ the building OF the wagon road between

| has been placed in this road building

With the completion Of this new thor

SALE
EASTGATE PROPERTY BRINGS A
GOOD FIGURE
A FOrty-Stamp Will be Erected and
Development Work Started
on Large Scale

A deal was completed on Thursday
whereby the Williams Gold and Silver
Mining Company, composed of w. ".
and George b. Williams and George ".
Baker, gives to prominent Goldfeld and
Tonopah people thirty days option on
their two most valuable claims at East
gate-the Great Northern and Sunny
jim. The consideration named as the
price of completing the option was with
held, but we learn from source that
would hardly allow of mistake that the
sum involved is 100000.
The Williams Gold and Silver Mining
Company, believing absolutely in the
future of the claims that are being bar
gained, agree to retain Il substantial
block of stock.
While it is difficule to get facts con-
corning this sale, the Churchill Stand
ard is in a position to state that the
above facts are correct. The purchasing
parties have had expert examinations
made of the properties involved by the
deal, and they are firmly convinced that
the big things that have been expected
OF the Great Northern and Sunny jim
mining claims will be realized
The purchasing parties left yesterday
for Tonopah, where they will arrange
the financial end of the deal. They ex-
pect to return within the next few days
and commence development work, and
Senator Williams prediction that 40
stamp mill will be pounding out ore be-
fore the winter has passed will very
likely come true.
The Churchill Standard will give addi-
tional facts regarding the sale and fu-
ture plans of the new owners in the near
fnture. The deal certainly means mucl
to Churchill county.
