City or nearby towns. A portion,
however, are situated in more dis
tant parts of the county. The extra
work involved in serving summons
on the jurors after they had been
notified to gather this week, because
of postponement of court on account
of inability of Judge Brown to he
present, was large. The move in
volved a second service on every
man who had been told to appear to
serve as well as telling of witnesses
of the state of affairs In conse-
quenee, even with the best efforts
possible. the sheriff's Office was un-
able to secure returns on all the

PLATT DIvORCE SUIT
Is To BE KEPT QUIET
Sensational Developments Expected
in Mae Woods Case Against
Aged senator.

NEW YORK, May 6.-Friday is
the day set for the commencement of
the trial in the supreme court of
suit for an absolute divorce brought
by Mae c. Wood against United
States Senator Platt. she claiming
that his marriage to Mrs. Lillian
Janeway is void because, as his wife,
she had a prior claim on him.
The trial is likely to be sensa-
tional and unusual precautions are
being taken to keep the facts secret.
Announcement was made yesterday
that no reporters will be allowed in
side the rail at the trial anG that they
will have to take such seats as ma
be vacant in those reserved for spec
tators and witnesses. It was said
yesterday that they might be kept
out of the court room altogether by
an old rule which gives a
justice sthe privilege of excluding all
persons from the court room not di-
rectly connected with a case, the tes'
timony in which, he believes. nigh:

fort was made in the Maloney an
cases to keep the docu-
ments in the case from the repre-
of the newspapers, and it
is not at all improbable that similar
methods be adopted in the Platt case.

SPEND NIGHT MAROONalD
IN THE SAGE BRUSH
Dr. Pollock Loses Road Between City
and Lund With Unpleasant
Results.

Or. A. X. Pollock is good natured-
ly submitting 10 the teasing of his
friends over a mishap which occurred
to him the latter part of last week
and which caused him to sit shiver-
ing in the middle of the sage brush
throughout the night about midway
between Ely and Lund. his team
having given entirely out after wan
dering off the road
Having received a professional call
to Lund, DR.. Pollock left about mid
day with team from local stable.
After attending to the patient he
started back home. leaving shortly
befire dark. He drove along right
merrily until about half the distance
had been covered. when he found
that owing to the darkness. which
had caused him to allow the horses
to follow the road as best they
might. he had strayed off the high
way. After driving hither and thither
through the sage brush for fully an
hour he decided to stop for the night,
as the team was utterly tagged. He
therefore built a small fire of sage
brush and sat by II the rest of the
dark hours. His friends now advise
him to take a compass and blanket
roll everywhere he goes hereafter,

NEW ENGINES PUT On.

From the Veteran mine of Cum
berland Ely material can be showed
down the ore line as fast as wanted
and there will be no need for ex-
haustion of the supply now in the
bins. Yesterday the first of the two
big engines received last week for
ore line work was put In commission,
No. 80 being sent up the line and
installed in the service To-day No.

and limbered up. In all probability
It will be ready for business tomor-
row. With these engines in service
the ore line is prepared to execute
whatever orders may come along, up
to the limit of capacity of ore ears
now here. These are sufficient to
serve needs until the second unit of
the concentration gets in motion next
month BY that time additional ore
cars will be on hand. they now being

ly and he desisted.
The affair then developed into a
rough and tumble wrestling match,
which ended with Fesler on top on
the sidewalk. During the scrap a
revolver is said to have fallen from
his pocket. 1t was found upon ex-
aSnation TO be unloaded. Langley
Is said to have been unarmed. While
they were rolling over the sidewalk
Officer Moorman came up and II is
alleged touched Fesler on the shoul-
der. at the same time saying:
ITS me, Andy. | guess you had
better get off.
Fesler at once did as he was re-
quested and was taken into a nearby
business house by friends, while
Langley went home.
1t is not known whether anything
will be done about the matter today
or not but the general impression is
that the last has not been heard of
it. so far as the officials are con-
cerned. The crowd which witnessed
the affair was open in its criticism
of the fact that no arrest was made.
particularly in view of the finding
of the revolver which belonged to
one of the men and which in itself
was sufficient TO cause arrest and
heavy fine.

ELY CITY HOTELS DOING BIG
BUSINESS S--STEPTOE FULL

For the first time since opened last
fall, the Steptoe hotel at Ely City
last night turned people away. the
house being filled to overflowing and
unable to accommodate several who
desired rooms.
Ely City has been a good hotel
town during the last month. from
the standpoint of trade as we'll as
the best accommodations afforded in
any city in the state. The travelling
public has ''wised" up to the fact
that at the Steptoe there is nothing
lacking and has been steadily finding G
it's way thel in larger proportion.
From now on there does not appear
to be doubt but that Manager Kline
will get used to- telling late arrivals
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-05-07

that he is sorry but that they will
have to seek accommodations else
where.
Not only is the Steptoe doing ex-
cellent business but the Cumberland
has also come steadily into larger
trade since opened month ago. Ex-
pectation now is that by the middle
of the month this big house will also
be in line to turn business away oc-
casionally. Until the Steptoe was
opened to the public the Cumberland
was the largest and best appointed
house in the district 1t holds sec
ond place now and with the Northern
and several other smaller houses In
Ely gives the district an abundance

just that much and make it an easy victory
for some dark horse. In the city DR.. Hoye
is almost as popular as AgneW and despite
the strong political machine he would run
up against, in direct primary contest he
would handle himself with care and it is
believed by many that he would meet the
machine and badly worst it. Few poll
ticians have shown more personal strength
and sagacity in Seattle than Dr. Hoye, and
it is amazing to learn the number of men
employed at the court house at the present
time, and placed there by the machine,
that are favorable to the nomination of DR..
Hoye for sheriff, although they are not say
ing much about it lest they lose their Jobs.
Jack Stringer is rather popular poll
tician and is being spoken of very kindly
in connection with this nomination, so
much SO, that he has taken courage from
what he is pleased to term the signs of the
times, and is preparing to go in the fight
with the intention of winning out Of
course he has the National Guard organiza-
tion as a starterin the fight, but aside from
that he has not much of an organization
from political standpoint and being a man
that does a very little mixing, the Pie
maker is not able to figure out any great
amount of strength he will be able to de-
velop, even if he files his declaration for
the nomination. The man in the direct
primary that expects to beat the machine
must be a very popular one and a good
mixer. When the name of Mr.. A. or B. is
mentioned in connection with a certain
nomination the voter begins to cast about
and see what the man ever did that did not
meet his personal approval, and his vote is
cast accordingly.

BENCH AND BAR.

Wilson R. Gay, formerly United States
District Attorney for this state, has also
formally announced himself a candidate
for one of the superior judge nominations.
From a people standpoint there are few at
torneys in the city more popular than he,
and it is here predicted that he will in all
human probability be one of the nominees.
Mr.. Gay, like Judge Tallman, will come
pretty near winning one of the nomima-
tions whether the Bar Association endorses
him or not.
There are other attorneys whose names
have been mentioned incidentally in con-
nection with one of the judicial nomina-
tions, but thus far they have not officially
announced themselves, though it is more
than probable they will do so in the very
near future. Among them are : John F.
Main, R. T. Ronald, Solon T. Williams, D.
C. Conover, Kenneth Macintosh.
The attorneys are much divided on the
advisability of the bar association selecting
the judges instead of leaving it to the peo-
pie as will the other Offices be- Some think
it will set a dangerous precedent, while
others are OF the opinion that it will re-
move the Judiciary from the mad scramble
for office and thereby come nearer purify
ing the bench.
John E. Humphries has announced that
ne will be a candidate for Justice of the
Supreme Court before the primary election
to be held September 8, 1908. Mr.. Hum
phries states that he believes that trial by
