Closed Store, Where.
upon the Sheriff
Got his Dues

The attachment suit, filed several
days ago against A. Bali of Lane
City by Sheriff X. c. Davis, has been
dismissed, defendant appearing in
court and paying the original amount
of license, $3.50, together with costs
of action, which brought the sum up
to $35, making his refusal to pay a
costly lesson. When the sheriff lit
tie over a fortnight ago was out col
lecting county licenses for the pres
ent quarter, he went to Bali for the
purpose of securing the amount due
from him. Bali told him flatfooted
that he would pay no county license,
as business was too duh.
Sheriff Davis warned him of the
fact that in case he refused to pay
a suit would be brought but this re-
sulting In no good, returned to Ely,
and after two or three days, which
he allowed the man as days of grace,
filed action against him. As conse-
quence the store conducted by Bali
was attached, whereupon he appear
ed and paid his license and costs at
tached. Although this occurred sew
eral days since, the impression had
gained that Bali had been let go free
with no other action against him
than filing of suit and to correct this
impression the story of the actual
happening is published.

Back to
Give Ruef
Attention

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. H.
Fresh from his latest victory in the
prosecution of the Oregon land fraud
cases in Portland, whore as special
assistant to the United States attor-
ney general he secured the eonvic-
tion last week of John S. Hall, ex-
United States district attorney, on
charge of conspiracy, Francis j..
Heney arrived in San Francisco this
morning to resume the prosecution of
the bribery-graft cases.
Immediately upon his arrival,
Heney went into conference with Dis
trict Attorney Langdon, Special
Agent William j. Burns, Rudolph
Spreckels and others associated with
the prosecution, in which he famil-
iarized himself fully with all that
has transpired in the cases since he
went north early in January. II was
shortly after Heney went to Port
land that District Attorney Langdon
annulled the immunity contract
given to Abraham Ruef and announc-
ed the determination of the prosecu-
tion to place the former political boss
on trial.
While denying that he intended to
Immediately resign as special prose-
cutor for the government, Heney
stated that he would probably try but
one more of the score of cases still
pending of the Oregon land fraud in
dictments, that of Binger Hermann,
formerly commissioner of the United
States general land Office.
II have returned to San Francisco
to resume the prosecution of the
bribery-graft cases., said Heney.
while have not resigned from the
government, ] will let nothing else
interfere with the prosecution of the
cases here until they have been dis
posed of. The government is desir-
Gus of having me personally try the
case of Binger Hermann and conduct
the re-trial of Congressman William
son, who has been granted a new
trial. If l get through here by June
1. / may then go to Portland, and,
as Hermann and Williamson are CO.
defendants, | may try both at the
same time. That will probably end
my personal connection with the con-
duct of the remaining trials in the
land fraud cases"

100000 Fish
For Streams
in County

Seven application forms from the
United States fish commission have
been received by Gene Allison, coun-
ty fish and game warden, for the pur
post of securing additional fish for
tsse streams of the county. Allison
is at present filling the blanks and
will forward them in a few days.
Although it is known that this Sec
tion will receive 100, 900 fish when
the spawn are distributed this spring
efforts will be made to secure an
other like amount. This will fully
stock all the streams of the county.
Another matter to which Mr.. Alli-
son will soon turn his attention to
will be the appointment of deputies.
At least three will be named. Two
will be at or near McGill to guard
the waters and game of that section.
One of the chief efforts will be di
rected toward eradication of the dyn-
amiter of fish. These have proved
the most destructive to water life in
the Duck Creek section. The Of
tense is punishable by Imprisonment
for six months in jail and fine of
from $50 to $500. the mtater being
left at the discretion of the court.

Gets Bad Gun
Wound in Bar
Scrimma9e

In the course of fight in his
house early yesterday morning, A. H..
Polly, Smelterville saloonist, was
shot in the left leg and as a result
will probably be a cripple. Polly re-
fuses absolutely to guess who shot
him, declaring that he has no idea.
He was trying to stop the fighting
when one of the several men en-
gagged in the scrimmage fired a re-
volver with the result stated.
Polly was brought into Ely yester-
day by Sheriff Davis and is at pres
ent quartered at The Davis lodging
house. Drs. Adams and Brock yes
terday afternoon made attempt to To-
cate the bullet in his ankle but were
not successful In examining the
wound it was discovered that the ball
had splintered one of the small bones
of the ankle, which will doubtless
render him TO some extent perma-
nent cripple.
The officers, although they have
made every effort to get at the bot
tom of the affair, have so far been
unsuccessful. The wounded man re-
fuses to give any details beyond
those already stated. From others
ith as been learned that several men
entered the saloon late Tuesday night
and a fight was started. During the
course of this revolver was flour
ished. Polly attempted to stop the
affair and get the men out of his
saloon when a revolver shot was
heard, All the combatants had been
drinking heavily. So far no arrests
have been made as it has been i'm
possible for the officers to aseer-
tain who was mixed up in the affair.

5. P. Has a Biz
Legal Fight
Ahead

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.-An
Investigation of Relating by railroads
In California is to be instituted this
week by the State Railroad commits
sion Assistant Attorney General
Raymond Benjamin said yesterday
that 1000 cases of Relating have
been perfected against the Southern
Pacific company
These cases will be presented to
the commission by Attorney General
u. S. Webb, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Benjamin and o. X. Gushing,
special counsel for the California
Traffic association. Should convic
tions be obtained on each of these
cases and the maximum penalty of
$4,000 be imposed for each viola
ton of the law, the Southern Pacific
company will face an aggregate fine
of $50, 100000.
1hei Investigation is an outcome of
the disclosures made last October at
the hearing conducted here by
Franklin X. Lane, of the Interstate
Commerce commission. AT the Lane
hearing II specific cases of rebating
were shown. Acting on that fact as
basis, the attorney generals Office
followed the leads, and, on gaining
access to the books of the Hartman
corporation, found 1000 cases.
THE least this coming investiga-
ton can do, said Assistant Attorney
General Benjamin, lis to clarity the
atmosphere of railway legislation in
this state. Apparently we have suffi-
cient evidence on which to procure
convictions"
