SPORTS
EVA TENNIS
REAL THING


The tennis tournament played at Eva
on SUNDAY was the hottest on record.
All Eva turned out to see the play
on the courts, and most enjoyable
day was spent by everybody. Fortu-
nately the weather was ON its best be-
haviOr.
Puuctuallv at 9 a. IN. "Doc' Nc
Lean and Davidson, the lanky book
keeper, faced the "dead sure guys
Bento and Gouveia and We're quickly
pdt to rout, the score being o-6, 81
ROOters were very much IN evidence
during this match.
Head Luna Fisher and store Assist.
ant Silver next engaged Fatty
Schmidt and Jenkins, otherwise known
as "The Taffy Boy The latter pair
received their quietus after u smart
three sets.
Owing to bye the "High Cocko.
lorums'p Bento and Gouveia again faced
the music, this time in the shape of
the undaunted Hieland Laddie Mann
and Knut Eklund from the Norwegian
fords. The onlookers received rare
run for their money but witnessed the
shutting out of the last named pair by
the score of Ga, 10.
Next on the board were the popular
favorites Archie Guild and Pop y
Swift versus the plantation s serio-
comic vocalist and all-round funny man
Muller, and Dave Douglas, the
doughty politician. This was the game
of the day as the latter were held too
cheaply by their opponents and it was
only after gruelling game that they
were beaten, the score being 81, los,
ga. Muller's leaps were really great.
Terada, the perky little Jap inter
prefer, with the assistance of Head
Water Luna Gliding, downed Dandy
Charlie McEachern and Commodore y
Chase after a pretty game, Terada s
racket work, as usual, eliciting much
applause.
The tournament had now reached the
semi-final stage and Bento and Gouvea
opposed Fisher and Silver. This game
was in doubt until nearly the end of
the second set, owing to the determined
playing of Fisher, ably seconded by his
partner. The "certs' eventually ran
out winners, however, by the score of
4-6, $40.
Guild and Swift then went hot foot
after Terada and Gliding and notwith-
standing Terada's spirited play and
Olding's defense, succeeded in winning
to the tune of 81, Ga, 6-3.
BY this time the light was getting
too bad to allow of accurate play and
Captain Alec McKeever decided TO post
pone the finals till next Sunday when
Gouveia and Bento meet Guild and
Swift in what promises to be the best
game ever seen at Eva.
Handicapped McKeever 8 adjustment
of the weights gave satisfaction to all
concerned.

SPARTAN THEORY
Makes Children Battle in
the Icy Ocean and Walk
Bare-Footed on the Snow
JURY INDICTS HIM

CHICAGO. Dec. 2o.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Philadelphia says:
Thomas Wister Brown, who is rich and
the father of six children, has theories
on the rearing of boys and girls which
include ocean baths in November and
barefoot strolls over the December
snow. For this reason he is under in
dictment at Ocean City on eight
charges of cruelty, and number OF
prominent Phiiadelphians have be-
come kidnapers in that they have
stolen the six children and kept them
concealed from their father.
The kidnapers are relatives of the
Brown and Wister families, among the
wealthiest and most prominent in
Philadelphia. They are determined to
keep the children until the courts en-
join the father from forcing icy baths
and icier walks upon them. The rela-
tives and the children's mother say
also that the courts shall decide
whether 1t Is cruel to force the chill
dren to learn chapters of the Bible
by heart.
Brown declares that he wishes to
see his children have strength to
plunge into the ocean all winter, If
necessary. and he does not think that
in giving them this training he Is
being other than kind.
Soon after Brown was indicted Mrs.
Brown and the six children left their
residence at Ocean City and took refuge
with relatives here Brown has ap-
pealed to the police to find them

rotary treasurer and general manager
of the Nebraska Land and Feeding
Company, controlling the 100000 acre

viction of the four defendants on thir-
ty-six counts of an Indictment which
charged conspiracy to defraud the
Government of public lands and subor-
nation of perjury The jury took but
two hours to consider the evidence.
The accusation against the officers or
the Nebraska Land and Feeding Com
pany was that they attempted to secure
title to vast tracts of land within the
Spade" ranch enclosure, in Cherry,
Sheridan and Box Butte counties, Neb.,
by means of fraudulent homestead en-
tries under the Kinkaid law, which
permitted the homesteader to take up
a section of land in the semi arid dis
tricts. Scores of witnesses were intro
duced who swore that they filed on the
lands at the solicitation. of agents of
the principal defendants with the un-
Outstanding that they would be paid
all the way from 5000 to $1,000 for
their claims when titles were secured,
and that all necessary improvements
would be made by the company.
year ago Richards and Comstock,
who are counted in the millionaire
class, were convicted in the Federal
Court of Illegally fencing Government
land and fined $500 each and sentenced
to six hours Imprisonment each. The
latter part of the sentence was served
at the Omaha Club in the nominal Gus
tody of their attorney, who had been
deputized for that duty by United
States Marshal T. L. Matthews. AS a
sequel to this episode President Roose-
welt removed both the marshal and
United States District Attorney Irving
L. Baxter.
A few months later Rev. George G.
Ware, an Episcopal clergyman of Lead
and Deadwood, S. D., president of
big cattle company, and two of his
agents, were convicted on charges SIM

Comstock ct al. have just been found
guilty. Wares case is before the

Loan and Trust Company of Gordon,

found against Richards, Comstock and
the others, but elected to be tried sep
arately. Their trials will begin early
in January. F. NJ. Walcott, an attor-
ney, who was also indicted, was dis
charged.

the dividend is declared subject to the
life of said pool. The directors of the
Manhattan Dexter Company deemed
this action necessary to protect the in
terests of all concerned.
In the meantime it is the purpose to
dispose of the treasury stock of the
subsidiary companies for the further
development of the various mining es-
tates they represent. The dividend
stock is to remain in pool until the
dlrectorates of the latter companies de-
clare the pool dissolved.

OF this stock dividend is reached by
the official statement that shareholders
IN the Manhattan Dexter Company to
the extent of 1871 shares, will, on Feb
ruary Is, receive an allotment of 700
shares In each of the seven companies
first named, and 378 shares in the Dex-
ter Merger Mining Company, making
total distribution of 527S shares, in
addition to the 1871 shares of Dexter,
and in that proportion. 1t has been
understood by some persons that the
purchase of Dexter stock included a
pro rata interest in the Union on Liti-
cation Hill. but such impression is err
roneous, although such an interest did
prevail up to January 81, 1906.

Prosecuting Work In Camp
The Goldfeld News says that two
companies for operations in the Won
der district were organized during the
past week in Goldfield. The incorpor-
ators were Henry Weber and his asso-
ciates in the vulture Mining Company.
Since acquiring the Vulture these oper-
ators have steadily increased their
holdings in the new district. Their
last purchase is the Dickey claim, and
the Golconda group in the northwestern
part of the camp. Both properties adj
join the Spider and Wasp group, which
is the center of operations in that part
of the district. Five of the leasers
on the Spider and Wasp are sacking ore
for shipment without sortings, and the
owners of the group are saving ore
encountered in sinking their shaft.
Developments in the camp are being
seriously retarded for lack of miners,
S. per day being offered for
experienced men. Transportation of
supplies is also inadequate, and as fast
as lumber is received 1T is used in the
construction of new frame buildings,
of which five are under construction
and more contemplated. Associated
with Weber are Captain Thomas Hoop
er, manager of the Victoria Copper
Mines of Michigan; S. F. Palmer, for
merly in charge of the Omaha & Grant
smelter at Denver; George A. Manning,
capitalist, of Cleveland, O., and w. E.
