GENEROUS ACT
Wins Law SUIT
TONOPAH MAN ADVANCES MONEY
TO COVER EXPENSE
OF ACTION.

Aside from the interest created by
the fact that the case for the plain
tiff was handled by Mcintosh and
Cook, prominent local attorneys,
there is another PORT that has not
heretofore come out in the case of
Thomas j.. Costello and Leonia K.
Newhall VS.. Murray Scott, which was
recently decided in favor of the plain
tiff. The Ease involved an undivided
one-sixth interest in the Nevada
Wonder group which was recently
purchased by the Tonopah Mining
Company. 1t appears that at one
time Leonia New hall was employed
as a clerk at the Merchants Hotel,
where she met Myron A. Champlin
Of this place. At the time that the
disagreement took place she was in
such financial condition that it was
practically impossible for her to
bring the suit necessary to recover
her rights. Costello was hardly in
any better condition. Hearing of her
plight and feeling that her claim was
a Just one, Champlin generously
stepped forward and offered to pay
the cost of the suit. The offer was
accepted and the suit commenced
During the entire trial it was Champ
Inns money that was defraying the
expenses. Mr.. Champlin is highly
elated over the outcome especially as
the plaintiffs won on every point.
The generosity of Champlin in com
ing to the front at a crucial moment
is most commendatory and shows a
most generous nature.

Denial That Large Plant Has Proved
a Failure

The American Smelling and Re
filming Company, which owns the
Garfield Smelter at Salt Lake, denies
that it has proved a failure. An of
fetal of the company said: THE
Garfield, in common with all other
shelters and sother manufacturing
interests in Utah, has suffered for
the lack of fuel, owing to the recent
coal famine throughout the greater
part of the West. The Garfield
plant started one of its furnaces a
few weeks ago and it was planned
to start the others in succession as
rapidly as they could be got in rea-
diness. We did not expect that the
plant would be in full operation be-
fore the middle of the coming sum
mer, as it takes a long time to put
such plants in full working ORDER

TO WORK OLD NINE

The Old Dutchman mine, in the
Walker Lake reservation. which was
the source of gold production in 1865
and from that date down to 1870,
yielded considerable yellow metal, is
going to be again placed in commits
sion. A great many men laid claim
to it when the reservation was OPEN
ed two months ago. There were
signs of endless litigation over the
property as a result. Now it is said
they have all joined interests, organ
lied a company, and will endeavor to
make the Dutchman one of the great
est mines i'm Nevada. Included in the
company are also a number of claim
ants with titles based on their fore
fathers having worked the mines in
the late SOS, but who were compell-
ed to relinquish the right to work
the mine when the government in
cluded its site in the Indian reser-
walton. Former owners expended
about $4,000 in development work
just previous to being run off the
place by the government.

OPENED ..KEG OF NAILS"

Slipping quietly away from his
friends, John Sparks, went to the of
flee of Chief Justice Talbot IN Mon
day evening, about 8 o'clock, and
took the oath of office. The chief
executive evidently desired to escape
curious sightseers and others who
usually attend such occasions. The
other officials are only required to
file a certificate and oath with the
Secretary of State, the oath being
made before any notary public, and
as a consequence there was no cere-
mony attending their induction into
office. All the officials are now at
their desks and started on another
years work, the new officers having
observed the t~ime-honored custom of
opening a "keg of nails"

A RECORD PLAY.

What is probably the longest
record for playing the Wheel was
made Tuesday and Wednesday, when
a prominent mining man placed chips
upon the numbers at the Merchants
Hotel Cafe for twenty-seven consecu-
tive hours. During the play three
different dealers were employed. The
unfortunate part of the matter is that
at the end of the ordeal the mining
man had practically nothing but a
record to his credit.

sentenced to two years in Sing Sing, to de-
lay the execution of the sentence until after

oner was an important and necessary wit
ness for the defense in the trial of his
brother, and If the convicted man were
sent to begin his sentence there was no
way Of bringing him here to testify.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor con-
tended that under ruling of the court of
appeals the court had no power to delay
the beginning of a sentence. He declared
also that Mr.. Jerome had promised the de-
Tense that George Burnham, jr., would be
brought back to testify if it were shown

Arguments for New Trial for Mrs
Gooding's Assailant.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 12.-The SUI
preme court of appeals yesterday heard ar
guments upon a motion for new trial in
the case of Joseph Thomas. alias John
Wright, the colored man under sentence OF
death in Alexandria. circuit court, for al
legged criminal assault upon Miss Mabel
Risley, now Mrs. Forrest Gooding, which is
alleged to have occurred near Four Mile
Run on the night of September 8, 1906 At
torney General Anderson of Virginia rep
resented the state and spoke for the prose-
cution. James E. Clements, ex-common-
wealth attorney of Alexandria county, rep
resented the prisoner. Mr.. Clements argued
the following five grounds as reason for
q new trial: That the corpus deficit (crimi-
nal assault) was not established: total fall
ure Of the Identification of the prisoner by
Mabel Risley as her assailant: the complete
alibi of the prisoner, or his absence from
the scene of the alleged assault; the in
competency and illegality of the testimony
of Annie Green; valuable after-discovered
evidence that would have acquitted the
prisoner had it been known at his trial.
The supreme court reserved its decision,
which will probably be handed down within
the next ten days.

Tourists going from this city to Old Point

travelling via the fnely-appointed steamers
of the Norfolk and Washington line to
tourneying by train. These vessels leave
every day in the year at $50 pm. making
the sail to the above points over night
They connect conveniently at Norfolk with
trains for the southern cities and winter
resorts. as well as with steamers for New
York and Boston. Their state rooms are
spacious and comfortably furnished. while
the cafes and dining service are not to be
criticised.
OF all routes to the Pacific coast probably
none offers such great attractions to the
traveller as the Westinghouse route to
California. The scenery along this route
is no, rivaled by that of any other. the
road bed is unsurpassed and the trains
used for the transcontinental service repre-
sent the embodiment of all that makes for
speed. safety and comfort. Three person
