in which Mr.. Warren and his son are
accused of committing an assault upon
the person of l.. d. Hubbard, the man
ager of the Winnemucca assay office,
on the 18th of November, is now occu-
pying the attention of the justice
court. With the completion this morn
ing of the testimony of two witnesses
for the prosecution, Mr.. Hubbard and
Professor T. A. Brandon, an adjourn
ment was taken until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow. At that time the defense VIII
put on their side of the case.
Mr.. Hubbard, the first witness put
on, testified to the events leading up
to the alteration. His testimony oc-
cupies several pages, and in substance
is to the effect that the attack made
upon him was unjustifiabble, and ne
therefore sought the aid of the law.
Professor Brandon corroborated Mr.
Hubbard in the particulars of his testi-
mony. Both witnesses were severely
cross examined by Attorneys Warren
and Wilson, who are conducting the de-
fense of the case

short visit from American canyon and
Spring valley. In speaking of the In

he said:

G. J. Wagner returned on Friday
last from the vicinity of the Hot
Springs, where he has been prospect
ing for some few weeks. He brought
with him several specimens containing
free gold which it is claimed came
from some property located by him
about six miles north of the Hot
Springs. Mr.. Wagner stated that the
ledge on his ground is about four feet
in width and is well defined, being
traceable for at least 1900 feet. A
number of prospectors are now doing
their annual work in that vicinity, and
if the financial situation clears before
spring some interesting facts may lie
brought to the surface from this To-
cality.

Electric Line Without Rails.

A Swiss company has been formed ito construct tram service without rails between Basic and Huningue. d town on the Swiss-German frontier, says special cable dispatch from Geneva to the Philadelphia North American. The motive force will be electricity supplied by aerial wires. An ingenious device allows the cars to be guided eleven feet six inches on each side of the aerial wires without cutting off the current, so that two cars travelling in opposite directions
 may pass at full speed. The cost Of the scheme is stated to be 60 per cent
 less than If an ordinary tramway line

O. ore trains came down all day to-

the Duluth. Nesaba and Northern
ard the Great Northern roads to their
respective docks at Two Harbore,
Oneota n Allouez. The train
crews are short and the forces at the
three ore docks are still lacking the
regular number of men for the reason
when the strike was in its first
stages many trainmen and dockmen
left the hOod Of the lake to seek en-
pfoyment elsewhere. The docks are
closely guarded by deputies paid for
by the Steel Corporation and thus far
there hes not been the slightest sign
OF disturbance.
The fact that the ore dock strike
has been ended paves the way for the
end Of the miners strike. for as lone
as the corporation is able to ship it
is not believed that there will be any
further interruption to traffic.
