COURT CALL
ON THURSDAY
Judge Brown Wires that
He Will Hold a Special
Session. -Overburdened
Docket is the Cause

Special session of the district court
will be held Thursday and Friday of
this week. the district clerks office
having been so notified In telegram
from Judge George S. Brown. re-
ceived from Elko yesterday.
The business to be taken up will
be hearing of probate cases, demur-
rers and motions in various actions
now pending. For some time it has
been rumored that a special session
would be held, as the court docket
for next term is becoming crowded.
Whether Judge Brown will be able
to complete the mass of business
which will be thrust upon him in the
two days he has stipulated as the al
lotted time or not Is matter of con-
lecture. 1t is not believed that he
can do so, however. 1t is probable.
If he can spare the extra time. that
the special session will be prolonged
for at least one and possibly two ad-
ditional days. a

Will Probably Reach De-
ciSiOn OF Some Kind in
Session TOday-SeveraI
Propositions Made

What will the county commission
ers do about disposing of the bond
issue OF $4,000 intended to serve
for building the new court house for
White Pine county? 1t is question
that sseems to be puzzling the com
missioners as well as the public.
Through propositions submitted
yesterday II developed that the coun-
ty may either dispose of the bonds to
the Ely Trust company. paying a
bonus OF $500 to the concern for
selling. may take them up itself or
may sell them in patches of a few
thousand dollars each TO citizens of
the county and in other portions of
the country, reserying small portion
10 be taken up out of funds of the
county.
The proposition of the trust COM
pany submitted in writing, was that
II would take up s25.000 worth in
90 days and the remainder of the is
sue In six months from date. The
company demanded for the transac-
ton commission of $4,000. To
pay this out of the proceeds of the
bond sale would be impossible, as 1t
would not stand legally. II might be
possible, however, to appropriate
from the funds now on hand enough
to pay the bonus demanded and make
the proposed sale legal. for which II
is exceedingly doubtful whether the
taxpayers would stand.
The second proposition was that
the county appropriate from funds
secured at various times enough TO
build the court house. reserving the
bonds as security for the loans made
from the various funds and taking
them up at maturity. much as II
they were In the hands of private in
diyiduals
The third method was brought up
by DR.. Richardson, who had letter
from Cashier Brant OF the CONNER
cial National bank, of Snow Hill. Md.
The letter inquired about the secur-
tiles and asked that proposition To
take over from SIS, 900 to $4,000
worth of the bonds having the long
est time to run be submitted to the
commissioners. After some discus
sion it was decided that If the bank
would take up $4,000 or more of
the bonds they might have such as
they wished.
County Treasurer Miles and other
officials were called in and together
they went over the statement of the
financial condition of the county for
the present quarter. From various
funds il was roughly estimated that
$4,000 dollars could be obtained.
The sum would be divided as follows;
From the interest fund. $1,000; from
salary fund. $4,000; from general
expense fund, $4,000; from general
fund, $1,000: from contingent ex-
pense fund. $1,000. 1t is probable
that some decision will be reached to-
day

Writer Declares Yellow Men are Many and Busy
On Southern BOrder.-Maps Made and InfOrma-
ton Obtained Which is Probably as Complete as
Held in Washington, if Not More sO-.AIarming

In letter written from Sonora. a
news paper man well known to the
News for reliability presents some
startling statements. He says in part:
| wonder whether the war depart
ment of the United States knows one
tenth as much about our unprotect-
ed southwest border and its ap-
proaehes through Mexico as does that
of Japan. For the past nine months
the latter government has had scout
ing parties in northern Chihuahua
and Sonora studying the boundary,
the mountains, the trails and passes
and making maps of the same. More
than three hundred have gone down
from Juarez to Casa Grande and have
thence Travelled on foot all through
the Sierra Madres and all along the
country they say they intend to travel
over when we invade the United
States.
They have been observed by Mex
leans TO cross and recross the coun-
try above mentioned and many times
in the past few months has encoun-
tered many parties of the Japs. *
They usually make the bluf of in
auiring the way to Cananea or Naco-
zari or other mining camps, but they
are soldiers, and always have some
intelligent. capable leader, well pro-
vided with money. They have been
observed by the Mexicans many
times when they were engaged in
mapping the country and they have
impressed the people of Sonora with
the fact that they intend to land on
its western coast and thence invade
the United States.
This is being written in a small
pueblo of eastern Sonora; 50 Japs

from the breaks of the river Aroe to
the southwark, in two squads. and
going out northward toward the line
of the United States. At this point
they hired some pack burros and sad
die animals. The first bunch bought
mescal on their arrival Two in con-
versation declared themselves to be
respectively a captain and a lawyer.
Another told man that "plenty of
Americans will die next year In San
Francisco and all along the coast
and they endeavored to get into the
good graces of the Mexicans by an
nouncing that they will soon give
back to Mexico her lost territory of
California, Arizona, New Mexico aud
Texas. Another squad to the west
of here were seen by herders to be
engaged in map work.
They have provided themselves in
some cases with several thousand
dollars in small Mexican bills at the
El Paso and Jaurez banks. When

few hun dred dollars. 1t would do
more to drive out the tough element
and make the town to some degree
respectable, right living community

time and declared that they should

founded report has it. however. that
the claim of the prosecuting witness
is that Brown attempted to assault
her on March 10. Her screams
brought assistance and the man hur-
riedly left. Before going he Is said
to have threatened her life II she
told of the occurrence. and being in
continual dread, she did not tell the
story to her mother until last week.
The warrant resulted in the arrest

Not even a hint of the story told
by Brown can be obtained. although
his plea of not guilty shows without
doubt that he will fight the charge.
