The Suprem Court of this state has
issued a restraining order restraining
the district courts Of Ormsby, Nye and
Esmeralda from taking aany action in
the indictments brought against T. B

indictments brought in the court
and would go ahead with the trial
regardless of the fat that the salient
points in the case have been presented
to the Supreme court for their final

ESMESALOA
ON SCRIPT
Basis Owing to Lack Of
FundS to Meet the
Expenses.

The county of Esmeralda has been
forced to go on script basis and all
warrants for the past month as bills
of credit and the same will have to be
cashed by outside parties or else held
until the taxes begin to come in and
the fund OF the treasury Of the county
becomes such that they can be met
in the usual way.
This state of affairs comes from the
fact that over eighteen thousand dol
lars of the cunty funds are in the de-
funct branch Of the State Bank and
Trust company at Goldfield and this
money Is practically lost to the county
unless the bondsmen of the treas
urer reimburse the county which viii
probably be the result before the case
Is finally settled.
The money was placed in the bank
by the treasurer without the authori-
ty of the commissioners of the county
and 1t Is believed that treasurer Har-
dy or his bondsmen will have to re-
imburse Esmeralda county for the
amount that is short after the State
Bank has finally settled its business.

THE Devil is coming Carson
That marvellous dramatic creation
from the pen of Ference Molnar, the
Hungarian author, will be given at the
Opera House Thursday night. This is
the most talked of play in the world
to-day and is doubtless being present
ed by more organizations than ever
played any one piece before.
There is an air of extreme novelty
in the idea of bringing his satanic
majesty back into the flesh and having
him display his powerful influence
for evil. Speaking of the play the
Chicago RecordHerald says:
THE play is not sensational. 1t is
too artistic a fabric to deserve that
word. 1t has passages of downright
prettiness. Always it is fanciful (or
boring) enough to be classified as
symbolism; it is captivating fancy
or phantasy, gentle satire"
While the general public may antic
ipate a theme that is immoral, it is
far from it. The Devil taches a
strong lesson on the weakness OF
mankind and in it's intensity is really
charming. The indications are that
the house will be crowded to its

SALES OF ALCOHOL IN
AMERICUS ARE LIGHT
As Shown By the Records
OF Court.

That Americus does not take her
alcohol as a beverage is evidenced by
the many prescriptions of physicians
authorizing it's purchase as filed
with Judge Cobb in the court or ordi-
nary. During the eight months of
prohibition just rounded out but 1873
prescriptions authorizing the purchase
of alcohol have been filed for rec
ord, and careful study of the names
evidences the fact that the liquid was
purchased for medicinal purposes
only. In fever cases it is largely
used for bathing the patient and the
greater part of that sold in Ameri-
Gus since January 1st was required
for that purpose. The names of the
purchasers include those of many of
Americas best citizens, women as
well as men, and in one case only OF
the 133 was the alcohol bought by a
party whose illness required the use
of stimulants. A few folks here may
still booze up bit, but they do not
use alcohol for fuel purposes i n fir
