a decision is being anxiously awaited
II the case of F. j. Costello and others
against Murray Scott. For some time
mast the case has been tried at Fallon
and Mr.. Mcintosh, of the firm of Nc
Jntosh & Cooke, states that he expects
a favorable verdict any day now. lie
has lust returned from Fallon, where
he has has been looking after Mr.. Cos
tello's interest. Arrayed against HIM
were eight of the most prominent
LAWYERS of the State. Whatever the
verdict may be the local attorney viii
have the satisfaction of knowing chat this
fight was so strong that a small army
of talent was recruited to combat him.
1t is a very important case as 1t involves
the question of grubstake rights. 1t
seems that Costello g%rubstaked Scott,
who by the way is the original locator
Of the property at Wonder, recently
purchased by the Tonopah Mining Com
al and Scott located some very good
ground, but did not respect Costello's
rights. The property has since beer
sold and Costello is suing to establish
his one-half interest in the property
1t is a jury trial, and the verdict will
no doubt be a very just one.

Everything was serene and quiet

places, seemingly glad to go to bed af-

in, the night guard counted them one

said good night and left on his rounds
about the camp. An hour later, the
guard, being vigilant and "up to snuff"
again made his rounds through the
sleeping rooms and found that two

the posse of the guard with the blood
hounds, instructing them to report to
Foreman Fischer and to act under his
orders. Foreman Fischer and his de-
tachment in riding towards the con-
vict's camp, in order to take UP the
trail with the hounds, kept a sharp
lookout and, when they came to the
outskirts of the city limits, they spied
two men who were skulklng and hid
ing along the shady side of the road.
The posse, concluding that they were
their game, followed and arrested them
without resistance. The two men who
had endeavored to fold their tents and
silently steal away, are Samuel Walk

years confinement for burglary by the
district court of Otero County, and
Henry Bell, sentenced July 5, 1905, to
one year for larceny by the district

men will lose their Sime allowance for
