NO GROUNDS YET
FOR THE TEAM
Litigation Holds Up Removal
Of South Side Park
Fence
Mr.. CURLEY EXPLAINS
THE TROUBLE

The wilmington Tri-State Baseball
club is yet without grounds on which
to play the remaining home games Of
its schedule. Despite this quandary
officials of the team announced this
morning that the club would play here
on Monday If the Front and Union
streets grounds have to be leased for
the purpose. II was said that such
an arrangement would be made in the
event of the failure of the team owners
to reach some agreement with the own
ers of the South Side Park before Mon
day.
Litigation between the Wilmington
Baseball and Athletic Association and
Stirlith Brothers has halted the re-
moval of the fences and stand at South
Side Park until Chancellor Nicholson
can hear the two sides of the trouble
growing out of the lease. In explana-
ton of the litigation Charles +. Curley,
representing the Wilmington Baseball
and Athletic Association, this morning
said:
In 1908 the Wilmington Baseball and
Athletic Association leased from Ster-
lith Brothers the land unon which the
ball park is erected for period of five
years, which lease expires on August
F17, 1908. 1t is the claim of the Will
mington Baseball and Athletic Asso-
citation that the fixtures, comprising the
stand and fences, are its propertv

Baseball and Athletic Association rent

hibition Company, former owners of the
present Tri- State team. for the season
] and all rio .f
hibition Company on the premises were
forfeited when that company went out
of existence several weeks ago.
The Wilmington Baseball and Ath-
letic Association was advised by its
counsel that If these fixtures were not
removed from the leased land before
the expiration of the lease that title To
them by law would probably vest in
the lessor and consequently this COM
pany would, at its peril. allow August
IL to pass without these fixtures on

Sterlith Brothers could secure a re.

the rights of all parties pending an
ultimate decision. This was obtained
from the chancellor yesterday and ar.
gument in the case will come up before
the chancellor on September H.
THE question Of whether the present

Exaggeration No. 3.

To quote the language of the man who

was sober when he said it. Nate Fish,
Shocks Webster and Steve Shelton were
camped at Poor Lake. They were only
there few weeks and while their luck
was bad they managed to catch I'LL trout
ranging in size from six inches in length
to the largest one landed. Shelton was
the only expert in the bunch as he actu-
ally caught a dead fish. The largest
trout caught was landed August 3rd and
neither the fishermen or the trout will
ever forget that day. 1t was speckled
beauty, a wonder. Webster was fishing,
using as bait the hind leg of badger
that had been killed the night before.
The fresh meat attracted the attention of
Mr.. Trout and he took it in, then the
trouble commenced. Shocks realized
that he had more than he could handle
and. holiered for help. Fish and Shelton
went to his assistance and a struggle that
lasted three hours and sixty minutes
commenced. BY skillful maneuvers the
men finally succeeded in drowning the
fish and then hitched on the horses and
pulled him ashore. Itweighed Sc poun( 6

We heard a man on the street
last night say: "Now is the ac-
cepted lime" and the more we
ponder the more we are sure that
there is much truth in the saying.
He was not referring to Yerington,
but his words are especially timely
and should be taken by our bust
ness men as motto, or guide, or
cause of action. This is the time
to make plans for the future and
to take steps 20 let the investors of
the entire country know what we
can offer in the way of induce
ments to men who are looking for
safe investments. Wholesale news
paper advertising will do little
good. An inexpensive plan where
by we can reach those who are
willing to investigate legitimate
opportunity to make money is what
is needed. A Yerington District
Publicity Bureau would about fill
the bill, one so conducted that
every man and woman in the dis
trict would take an interest in
making it success and all join in
showing the strangers that came,
the wonderful mineral and agri-
cultural resources of the richest
valley in the state of Nevada. We
have room for many farmers as
we'll as mining men, and no other
district offers as sure an invest
meut as far as mining stocks are
concerned. 1t can truthfully be
said of Yerington that there are nc
wildcats" here. The hot weather
is about over, let us be the first to
attract the attention of the investor
and home seeker when he returns
from his summer vacation.

need so much to eat. 1t would be
