Royal Time
Given By Elks

Last Tuesday evening the
wandering Elks of Phoebe, "
called the Phoebe Bunch" GER
tainly showed the people of
Phoebe and surrounding places,
who were fortunate enough to
attend their first bali in this
place, what they could do in the
way of entertaining. While
there have been many fine part
les in the past, that of Tuesday
evening was the par excellence
of them all.
The hall was beautifully dec
GRATED in their colors of purple
and white, and fronting the
stage in large letters the word
Welcome, while above that on
the stage was magnificent elk
head, set with toy electric lights
which kept scintillating all the
evening. The head was sent
down from Salt Lake by Messrs.
Smith and Mason, who were also
present, and their genial and
cordial manner and always smil-
ing faces was enough to make
one wish he was an Elk himself.
Above the elk head were the
words "Goldfeld 1872" under
whose permit the ball was given;
Around the ball room was placed
the name of the several lodges
with the names of the local mem,
bers composing the Phoebe
Bunch" AS each guest arrived

no jurisdiction in the matter.

sustained the demurrer and the
defendant was discharged. II
this case the court stated that
the statutes of Nevada contained
no law against the giving Of

Is Discharged
AS a juror

Ben Miller Of Searchlight, came
in for a round of condemnation
from the entire community Mon
day night when he obstinately
hung the jury in the case of the
state against H. M. Davis, a
nigger porter, who was indicted
on a charge of assault and bat
terry. The nigger entered the
berth of a young woman on the
Limited October 25th last and
attempted an assault while the
train was passing through Lin
coin county.
From the time the cNse went
to the jury Monday afternoon
until Tuesday morning. the vote
stood eleven to one for convic-
ton, with Miller holding out for
the acquittal of the nigger
against the eleven others on the
jury in as stormy a jury session
of twenty hours as has been
known in the Lincoln county
court for many years. The
man(?) from Searchlight refused
to argue with the other jurors.
and held obstinately to his single
declaration that the nigger was
innocent. The other jurors were
finally reused to such a state of
indignation that their "compli-
ments" to miller could be heard
through the closed doors of the
court room, and it is seldom that
any white man has stood out
against such a grilling as was
directed towards the supporter
Of the nigger.
At one stage of the discussion
a member of the jury who was
armed left the room to deposit
his gun with outsiders for safe
keeping, and Miller spent most
of the night walking up and
down the room with an oper
knife in his hand, after appeal
ing to the deputy sheriff for pro
lection.
AT about 1890 a letter wa
sent to Judge Brown in whicl
the eleven signers stated thei
unqualified belief in the guilt o
the niger, and the judge wa
called in several times to Civ
further instructions.
Judge Brown made his instruC
tions as plain as possible withou
, saying what the jury should de
and after they had been repeat
ed Miller held out, saying h
would stick for forty-eigE
days." and the jury was di!
charged.

The trial jurors subpoened for
service at the March term, ap-
peared Monday morning.
The first case for which a jury
was selected was that of the
State of Nevada VS.. M. H. Davis,
indicted for assault. The great
er portion of the day was con-
sumed in the testimony OF the
case and it was given to the jury
about 6 o'clock p. M; all night
long the jury, that is eleven of
them, tried to convince the
twelfth man that he had the
wrong opinion of the case and
Tuesday morning their foreman
reported to the court that he be-
lieved they could reach verdict,
but at $3.50 they reported no
change in the situation and were
discharged from the case.
In the case of the State of
Nevada VS.. VIM. McVey, Thos.
Nolan and VIM. Kellogg, indict-
ed for grand larceny, their attor-
ney, j. M. Breeze. argued a de-
murrer to the indictment, and
the demurrer was sustained, the
court being Of the opinion that
the error might be avoided by a
new indictment, and that the de-
PENDANTS be remanded and the
case resubmitted to another
grand jury,
Wednesday morning M. II.
Davis, fearing the results OF an
other jury in his case, pleaded
guilty" to the charge on which
the jury could return no verdict
from Mondays trial. The court
only regretted in passing SEN
tence that the statutes did not
provide longer term than siH

The sensational climax Of the
affair came Wednesday morning.
when the case was called for an
other trial.
The nigger entered a plea of
guilty. and Judge Brown. in sem
fencing him to six months in the
county jail, said the case was
one which deserved a heavier
sentence than that possible for
simple assault and battery. and
ne regretted that there was no
Nevada statute under which a
heavier penalty could be imposed.
Then came the dismissal of
Miller by an order of the court
that, while entirely dignifed.
was as severe as any Of those in
attendance had heard in open
court.
The room was filed when
Judge Brown began his brief ad-
dress. He said in part that al
though no man could be censured
for holding to an honest convic-
tion, the evidence in the case in
question had been 50 plain and
simple that he could not under
stand the position Of a man who
could hold out against eleven
other jurymen. The Judge said
he regarded a man whose mind
was so constituted was unfit for
jury service, and ended by say
ing, Il therefore excuse Mr..
Miller from further service on
this panel"
A suppressed murmur Of ap-
proval passed over the court
room as the disgraced man left
the room. Miller has been OPEN
ly hooted on the streets as a
'nigger lover" and plans to
burn him in effigy were only sup
pressed by Miller keeping in Sc
clusion most of the time. It is
understood that Miller is inter-
ested in a civil suit to come up
later, but did not wait for a trial
of the case, and Immediately
fioated out of town by private
conveyance.
The niger was defended by
Jesse Simmons, a local attorney,
who subjected the complaining
witness to a cross-examination
! which was universally regarded
; as unnecessarily severe. He
failed, however, in his attempt
to weaken the testimony in any
degree.
The original charge against
the nigger was assault with in.
: tent to commit rape. The granC
E jury indicted him for simple as
t sault and battery, for the reasel
that there was no legal evidenc,
of the intent.

New York Market News

| pointed out last week that
the market was oversold and in
line for a moderate advance.
The period under review has
justified this judgment. There
has been five point advance in
practically the entire stock ex-
change list, due to a moderate
drive against the shorts, whose
boldness of late has gone to the
point of foolhardiness. There
may be a few more days of ad-
vancing prices, but eventually
the inside market must come
back moderately.
The governors of the stock ex-
change have evidently satisfied
themselves that the govern
nment's threatened attack on
speculation will first spend its
force on the bucket shops and
they are preparing to put their
house in order before the blow
falls.
There are many men who be-
lieve that the exchange will put
its entire unlisted department
out on the curb.

believed to be on the point OF
breaking into print again. He
has been strangely silent for 6
few weeks and in the meantime

with courage. He is not beaten
yet, and those who should know
say that he will be triumphant
in the end. If his followers had
half the grit, tenacity and faith
that he has he would not have
so much trouble achieving his
ends.
The copper position, although
technically weakened by the re-
opening of the amalgamated
mines, is not hopeless by any
means. Large quantities OF cop

Nevada Consolidated and Cum
berland Ely advanced sharply
on the success of the former

supporters for heavy profits.
Goldfeld stocks have been
