during the session of the district

of the case of the City of Ely VS..
White Pine county for recovery Of
one-half of the liquor license collect
ed In Ely during the year 1907 The
case was heard at length and judg-
ment by default was rendered the
plaintiff by the court. Unless the
matter Is brought to a higher trib
unal Ely will come into possession
of the sum of $1,3S1.55, together
with interest at the rate of Z per
cent per annum. While nothing def
mite could be learned yesterday, 1t is
probable that the county will take
the matter before the supreme court
of the state for hearing, in which
case it remains to be seen what dis
position will be taken as to the rui-
ing of the district court. The money
is to be desired in the hands of the
