of his brother-in-law George Bore
meas, January "a in Smeltervii.e
saloon. Beside the actions named
and two arraignments on criminal
charges, the day was passed by the
court in hearing arguments and set
Ting estates
When the court met In morning
session attention was called to an err
ror In the phraseology of the Corbett
Indictment on the charge of highway
robbery, and the matter was given
into the hands of the grand jury
again. corrected true bill was re-
turned against Corbett during the
morning.
Antonio Vasilopulos was arraigned
upon the charge of attempt to kill,
entering a plea of not guilty. He
was represented at the arraignment
by Attorney p. F. Coleman. 1t was
stated by Mr. Coleman, however. that
Vasilopulos will be represented at
the trial by Willard Hansen. of Salt
Lake. who was here several weeks
since investigating the records in the
case. Mr.. Hansen Is backed In his
stand, II is understood. by the Gre
clan government. The trial was set
for "Wednesday May 20, at 10 a. m.
W. II. Corbett was arraigned and
entered plea OF not guilty to the
charge of highway robbery. At his

Attorney Reeves presented afii-
davit of George Emmett Welshons
and Mrs Welshons in the case of Al
bert Petty. charged with burglary.
in which IL was stated that the tes-
timony given before the grand jury
by them had been signed improperly.
Mr.. Reeves asked that the indict-
ment he quashed This was done and
the matter returned TO the grand jury
by Judge Brown, who ordered an
other indictment returned with the
error corrected.
No other matters were taken up by
the grand jury in its afternoon re-
port. From the slowness of their ac-
ton II is thought hardly probable
that they will complete the criminal
docket by tonight. II Is thought.
however. that they will be through
by Monday evening, after which other
matters of importance TO the county
viii be taken up.
An interesting matter TO persons
having many dealings with the Office
of the county clerk was contention
raised yesterday by Attorney Bore
man before Judge Brown because of
alleged excessive fees charged by the
Office for filing documents. The rul-
ings of Judge Brown were in most
cases favorable TO the clerk, although
in some new schedule of charges
was established which will hereafter
be followed.
The contention of the complainant
was based on three eases in which he
recently filed documents, being those
OF A. ]. Cartwright vs.. White Pine
county. the James Nelson Supply Co.
VS.. Ed Langley. and City of Ely VS..
White Pine county. His first conten-
tion was that the clerk should charge
only % cents instead of 10 cents
for filing of cases. The clerk was
sustained In this charge by Judge
Brown. who found 1t legal upon look
ing IL up The second claim was
based upon charge for folio work
by the clerk for preparing certiied
comics for actions filed in the Office.
In this too the clerk was sustained.
The third contention was upon en-
try of verdict by default for which
SI.75 has been the customary charge.
Mr.. Boreman claimed that 80 cents
was the legal amount. Upon this the
court ruled that the legal amount was
$1.5O. Upon this finding charges VIII
hereafter be made.

day afternoon Judge brown estab-
