BEN PALMER PASSES
AWAY At SHERIDAN

! News reached Carson this after
noon OF the death of Ben Palmer at
his ranch near Sheridan. Palmer
was colored man who was regarded
all over the state as one of the most
level headed OF its inhabitants.
Palmer was for many years a con-
Stant attendant at the Republican
state conventions and when he got
the floor he was always listened 60
respectfully.
He was a man Oh honesty and
brains and introduced the Bonner
strain OF horses in Nevada. Once
during a campaign, Peter Heidenger
or this city, bet with Palmer that he
you'd black all the colored men boots
that were in Carson on d certain day
il Harrison was elected Well Har-
rison was elected and Palmer came
into Carson with a delegation OF col
cred men and kept Heidenger busy
all day i'll front Of the Ormsby House.
Then Palmer offered him dollar to
black his again and the proffer was
refused. The imam with the brush
sSjd once was all he a-rat.d TO black
any cClored mans boots.
The coiored population spent the
evening in hilarity about town and
Ben set up the refreshments until
after midnight.
He was at least eighty years OF
age at the time of his death and
leaves hundreds OF friends 10 mourn
his loss.

the state and j. therefore unconstitu-
tional.
IN other words that the appoint
ment of the Railroad Commission was
an invasion of the rights Of the Judi
ciary.
The complaint further charges that
the bill amends An Act to provide
for the incorporation of Railroads.
Approved March %, 1865 and failed
to comply with Section II, Article 4
OF the Constitution which REQUIRES
that an amended section shall be re.
enacted and published at length.
1t further charges that the rates
and charges prescribed by said bill
for the carriage OF freights are I'M
practicable, unrenumeratiye, unjust
and unreasonable and do not furnish
any return whatever for the capital
invested for the construction and
maintainance OF said railroad or up
on the value of said property.
Discrimination between the rail-
roads is also charged as contrary to
law, and it is further alleged that
powers are conferred upon the Board
which only belong to the Interstate
Commerce of the United States. The
complaint alleges that suits for fines
and penalties are about to be institut-
ed and they ask the court to issue
withstrainins order to prevent such
suits as they would be yexatious and
expensive to the defendants in the
cases tried.
The above is about the basis of the
three complaints and they all ask
for a temporary injunction against
the Board and the defendants named
and writs of subpoena to be issued
to all the defendants in the action
requiring them to appear in the I'm
tied States court and answer
The attorneys for the Southern Pa
cific are Herrin, Dunn, Mack and
Shaup and also for the n. C. and O.
The attorneys for the San Pedro.
Los Angeles and Salt Lake r. r. are
w. R. Kelly, A. S. Halstead and Sam
uel Platt.

give 100000 bonds, the San Pedro and

MADAM GRESELDA TO COME

1t is now almost a certaintv that
Madam Greselda, one of the famous
dramatic sopranoes of Europe, will
appear in Carson next week.
She came to Nevada with no idea
of accepting any professional engage
ments. She has invested Iconsider-
able money in Goldfield and came to
look after her interests. Her reputa-
ton as a singer, however, had come
all the way from London and the
GOldielderS insisted on her appearing
Her work as an artist attracted the
attention Of some Reno people and
they induced her to sing for the ben
eft Of the Episcopal church. Now
the officers of the Leisure Hour Club
are after her and it is almost certain
that she will be here next week I'M
der their auspices.
It is pretty well settled rule that
when distinguished people come to
Nevada to invest that we want some
thing besides their money
II they are great in any line of art
they must mix up with the people of
the sagebrush and do stunts.
