Are to be Appealed

Appeal will be taken by District
Attorney Eddy and Attorney A. Jul
rich on the ruling of Judge Brown
non-suiting the case of State VS.. Tom
j. Costello. The bill of exceptions
will be filed early tomorrow morning
and notice of appeal given. The claim
OF the attorneys is that the ruling
of the court was an error, as the
wording OF the quashed indictment
was proper and covered the ground
fully
Another case which will be appeal
ed 10y the attorneys at the same time
is that OF City of Ely VS.. Frank
Mothes and Charles j. Morris, on
charge of selling liquor without a
city license. The bill of exceptions
will be filed tomorrow The claims
set forth are that the act Of the legis-
iature of 1907 under which Ely is
Incorporated Is unconstitutional, be-
cause of the fact that large limits of
territory taken in without consent of
the residents and subject to taxation
without receiving any benefit there
from. are included in the incorpora-
ton OF the city. 1t sets forth list
of exceptions taken to rulings of the
court in the trial

place with Judge Brown.
Judge Brown, after spending a
short time at his home at Elko

planning this trip for several years
but up to this time has always been
interrupted by something and pre-
vented from leaving. 1t is his inten-
ton to stay several weeks.
On account of the legal holiday
Yesterday, there was no session of
court, the jurors being excused from
further attendance until tomorrow
