Ely Man is in
CriticdICOn-
ditiOn

NJ. j. Riordan yesterday received a
letter from c. NJ. Hussey conveying
the information that Sid Coburn, a
well known business man of Ely, is
critically i'll at Rawhide. His con-
dition is such that he will be sent to
San Francisco at the earliest possible
moment to undergo an operation for
the relief of troubles which have
grown from an attack of pneumonia.
Fear is entertained that he may not
gain sufficient strength to undertake
the trip and that his life will pay for
felt
Coburn left here early in the Raw
hide excitement and has since been in
the new camp. When he took de-
parture he left several important
business matters in allegiance. With
regard to one of these matters Mr..
Riordan has been endeavoring to
hear from him. Last week Hussey
left for Rawhide and Immediately
after his arrival learned of the con-
dition of Coburn, who has been III
for some time. He promptly COM
municated with friends in Ely that
they might know of Coburn's condi-
ton.
Coburn came to Ely last year from
Bisbee and Naco, Ariz., where he has
considerable business and property
interests. 1t was his intention to en-
gage in several local business enter
prises this year and also to give at
tention to mining interests which he
had acquired in this district.

STARTED
At ELY CITY

Ely City's trees, planted last fall,
are beginning to show signs of spring
activity. Buds are appearing and all
indications are very favorable to sue
cessful growth.
Examination made recently of the
trees and the ground in which they
are has shown that moisture has held
exceedingly well and the ground
about the roots is in fine condition.
There Is no doubt now entertained
but that the trees will be brought
through successfully and the adapta-
bility of the soil and climatic con-
ditions for such purpose and for gar
dens and lawns fully demonstrated.
For the care of the trees during
the present season the Townsite COM
pany is now having water wagon
equipped and will detail permanent
force with the wagon to irrigate the
trees and to keep the ground about
them in proper condition. This work
will be commenced at early date.
An experiment which will be of
much interest in the district is to be
taken up in the same connection at

grasses grow in profusion about Ely
City. wherever sufficient moisture Is
found, and it is confidently believed
that the lawn making experiment at
the park will be entirely successful,
making for the district a restful and
attractive place

Vice-President Fairbanks has the
record of having Travelled more miles
and having met more people In the
past four years than any other man
in the country. Demands for him to
make public addresses are almost in
cessant, but he generally declines for
the reason that he spends more time
in the vice-pesidential chair than any
of his predecessors.

Not Restrained by Act Of Con
gress, Judge Waddill Declares
in United States Court.
DECISION is IMPORTANT
Philadelphia Barge Owner Claim
cd $1,000 Damages and Ap-
pealed to Federal Laws.

Holding that the city OF Richmond
could not be held financially RESPONSE
BILE for destroying sunken barges which
are dangerous to harbor navigation,
Judge Naddill. in the United States
Circuit Court yesterday morning dis
missed the suit of John Hagan, of
Philadelphia, who claimed damages in
the sum of $4,000 for the loss of a
vessel. Though admitting that under
the act OF Congress the Secretary of
War was authorized to keep streams
clear by removing derelicts. the court
held that far.reaching embarrassment
might result from the exclusive exer-
else of this power by the Federal gov
eminent. The decision, therefore. is
OF more than local Importance, though
1t is particularly gratifying to City
Attorney Pollard, who conducted the
litigation for the defense.
Claims OF Plaintiff.
6everal years ago Hagan. a large
Federal court against the city, alleging
that, without authority of law, 1t hat
blown up and totally destroyed his
barge, which. by accident. had ground
that account, had suffered damages t.
tho extent Of $4,000. for which the cit.
was liable and ought to pay.
The city justified It's action on the
ground that the sunken barge. was :
dangerous obstruction to navigation
and vouched for its authority the char.
ter Of the city and an ordinance which
authorized the removal of all wrecks
from the llarbor. To this contention
It was earnestly urged that both the
charter provision relied on, as wei
as the ordinance of the city, were voic
and Of no effect, because in conflict
with the interstate commerce clause
Of the Constitution of the United States
and with the act of Congress of 1S9!
which conferred on the Secretary OF
War the power to remove all wreck:
from harbors.
Sustained Demurrer.
The court sustained demurrer t,
The declarations of the plaintiff and dis
missed the suit, delivering an opinio,
in which it was held that while Con
gress had the power under the Con
stitution wholly to supersede and as
sumo the right to control rivers an,
harbors IN the matter of removal o
wrecks, Vet the act of Congress re
lied on did not show such intent OF
the part OF &dngress. and while !!
Secretary OF War a discretion to act
yet it did not clearly appear that i
intended thereafter to reject the ait
of local authorities in keeping the har
bors free from distractions, and mas
much as grave and far-reaching EN-
eating the power OF keeping the MI
