FAL[ON Will IN
CORPORATE;
SOON.
Supreme Court Upholds Con-
stitutionality of the
Law.
Commission Will Now Be
Appointed to Call An
Election.

The supreme court OF the State OF Me-
vada has upheld the constitutionality of
the general incorporation act passed at
the last session of the legislature.
In the latter part OF September of last
year the majority OF the electors who
were taxpayers within the limits of
Fallon, or, more properly speaking,
within the limits proposed to be incor-
porated as the city OF Fallon, petitioned
the judges OF the Second judicial Dis
trict Court of the State Of Nevada, in
and for the county Of Churchill, to pass
upon the validity of the petition pre-
sented to the court, and If found to
comply with the law and to have the
sufficient number OF names on 1t, to ap-
point the commissioners to call an cleo
ton for the election OF the town officers.
The petition was fonnd to have the
requisite number OF names on 1t by Die
trict Judge Pike, but before he could
appoint the commissioners to call the
election writ of prohibition was issued
out OF the State Supreme Court direct
ed TO the Hon. W. II. A. Pike and Hon
John S. Orr, judges OF the Second Judi.

NOTABLE DECISION RENDERED
Foreign Corporations Must Comply With Laws
Of The State Of Nevada.

Because the Liberty and Justice Min.
ing Company and the Granny Gold
Mining Company, of Manhattan, are
foreign corporations doing business un-
der the laws of South Dakota, they
have been non-suited in their adverse
suit against the Manhattan Consolid.
ated Company. The decision in the
case has been handed down by Judge
O'Brien, and if the ruling stands, the
foreign corporations doing business in
this country had better change their
charters and get in under the laws OF
Nevada.
The contention was made that by the
charter of the plaintiff companies, they
had no authority to do business in the
State of their birth, and that, there
fore, they should not be allowed to dc
business in any other State. 1t was a
novel point and the court sustained it.
Another point raised was that of reei-
procity. According to the laws Of
South Dakota, certain requirements
must be performed before a corpora
ton with foreign charter can do busi-
ness there. The same applied to for
eign corporation attempting to do busi-
ness in this State. Nevada has law
whereby when the laws OF State i'm
pose more than the ordinary obliga-
tions or requirements upon a corpora
tion from another State, the same re-
quirements shall be enforced against
corporations under charter from that
State. South Dakota requires that
there shall be many steps taken before
a corporation OF Nevada can sustain a
suit against corporation of that State.
1t was argued that this rule should az
ply to the Liberty and Justice and the
Granny, and it was SO decided.
This suit against the Manhattan Con-
solidated was for the possession of the
Silver Pick claim, which it was claimed
was not on the eompany's ground. The
point as to whether it is or not, was not
reached, the suit being shut off by teen
-Tonopah Bonanza.

The Transformation Of Nevada,

In 1900 the State of Nevada had d
population Of 1900. There were by
the same census eighty-nine cities III
this country having more people than
that whole commonwealth. Yet Ne
vada's population lad been 62 coo
twenty years before.
The story behind these statistics is
that OF the rise and fall of mining
camps. Virginia City itself, place oil
IL 900 souls in 1880, counts now but
1900. The only constant quantity rep
resentative of Nevada has been the
number OF its United States senator's.
But there is now the beginning o1
different things in the Sage Brush
State. In place OF the intermittent,
ieyerish prosperity of the mining
camps is to be the steady well-doing Oh
the farmers. 1t is irrigation which is
changing the order-making the greai
American desert to bring forth fruits,
vegetables and grain-and as one ear
nest of what is to come there is the
town OF Fallon in the now fertile Car.
son Sink Valley. With sixteen souls
to start on three years ago, Fallon has
today more more than IA thousand peo-
pie and all the attributes OF a small
urban centre.

est Service are doing for what was once

PRISONER TRIES
TO HANG HIM
SELF IN JAIL.
Chas. Bird, Arrested for
Sheep-Stealing, Tries to
End His Life.
Discovered by Another Pri-
soner and Cut Down in
Nick of Time.

Last Friday Chas Bird, a prisoner
confined in the county Jail in this city
on charge OF sheep-stealing attempted
to take his life by hanging, but was
discovered by another prisoner named
Hansen, who frustrated the attempt.
Bird had taken off his trousers and
cut them into strips, from which he
had plated rope. Fastening the rope
about his neck, he climbed on a chair
and made the other end fast to the iron
bars of the window and kicked the chair
from under his feet. When discovered
by Hansen his tongue was hanging out
and he was black in the face.
Last Thursday Bird was caught in
the act OF trying to sell sheep to the
proprietor Of the Assembly restaurant
and taken into custody. The sheep
was the property of the Fallon Slaugh-
tering and Supply Company and had
been taken from number of others
penned up In the corral across the
street from Senator Williams residence.
Chas. Bird Is the name given the
authorities by the prisoner. 1t Is not
certain that that is his name, as papers
found on him.to bear the name of Man
ley, and address as Goldfeld. He is a
confirmed dope fend. At the time Of
his incarceration the drug was taken
away from him, and it is thought that
was the reason for his attempt at self
destruction.

rule that opium be denied all hopheads

THf LOWER COURT REVERSED
Langdon Given New Trial and Appeal Of Pray
Dismissed by Supreme Court.

Saturday the Supreme Court handed
decision reversing the findings of the
District Court in the case OF the State
W. g, A. Pray and ". j Iangdon.
The defendants in this suit were
charged with h-grading, arrested at
Hazen, having in their possession a
trunk and carpenters tool chest con-
tanning the ore in question, and where
brought to this city, released on bail
and tried in the District Court in and
for Churchill county, about one year
ago. The alleged theft was supposed to
have taken place in Goldfield. VIM. s.
Wall, OF Fallon, was attorney for the
defendant, and Judge Massey, OF Reno,
represented the State.
The case was notable one, occupying
many days, the State introducing many
prominent expert witnesses.
At the conclusion of the trial the de-
lendants were found guilty, the presid-
ing judge imposing fine of $1,000 each

were to serve terms in the States pri-
son at the rate OF 81 per day until the
amount OF the fine had been served out.
g. A. Pray, through his attorney, ent-
cred into an agreement with the Dis
trick Attorney, whereby he WAS to pay
his fine, but in doing SO his right to APP
peal should not be prejudieed. W. j.
Langdon wss released on bail pending
his appeal.
The contention OF the defendants on
appeal WAS that tie offense, il there
was any, was committed in Esmeralda
county, and consequently Churchill
county was wholly without jurisdiction
in the matter.
The decision OF the Supreme Court
sustains the contention, citing that
there was no evidence to prove that a
crime had been committed in Churchill
county, and granting Langdon new
trial.
In Pray's case, however, the appeal
was dismissed, on the grounds that his
agreement with the District Attorney
MAS illegal aud consequently void.
Judge Noreross wrote the decision.
