candidates did not forward to contest
General SmOn's unanimous election to the
Presidency Of Hayti for fear that another out

Are we to understand that If more than one

The boys have gotten together
and perfected a baseball associa-
ton, and have already started
practicing. We all remember
what a source Of amusement this
afforded us last season, as well
as being an advertisement for
the town. We are in a much
better position this year to place
in the field a winning team, and
efforts should be directed toward
that end. The boys who give up
their time for the benefit of the
town are entitled to her hearth
est support. So far they are
meeting with the greatest of
success in the way of financial
aid from the business men.
which we hope will continue.
Sunday the first practice game
will be held. Turn out and lend
encouragement, for it is now
that the greatest amount of
boosting is wanted.

Greenwood Is
Legal Owner
Jury Returns Correct Verdict In Less
Than Five Minutes.

Greenwood has worked assidu
ously for the upbuilding of Pi-
oche. This instance has, to say
the least, been irritating, but the
vindication he received indicates
to him the hearty support of al
our citizens. The property he
now owns is one of much merit,
and will soon be a producer OF
no mean quality. The RECORD
extends congratulations to Mr..
Greenwood, and hopes that he
may fully realize from the un-
dertaking in the manner in which
he is entitled.
Church contended that these
payments should have been made
on the day previous 70 that on
which they were actually made,
and that time was the essence
of the contract. The contract,
however, provided that there
were certain matters pertaining
to the title to the ground that
should have been attended to by
Church on or before the time
when the payments became due,
or that the payments might be
deferred until the title was per-
fected.
After considering the advisa-
bility of an appeal the plaintiff,
Church, on the morning of the
lst of April, drew down the bal
ance of the consideration, some
$l8, 900, settled up all costs and
damages and departed with his
brother for Salt Lake City. This
ends one of the most important
mining suits ever tried in Pi-
oche. The settlement will cause
the employment of a great many
men in the vicinity of Phoebe, as
active operations will commence
on Monday.
Mr., Greenwood and his asso-
ciates have ample resources, and
will compete with the Nevada
Utah in the opening of all the
best mineral deposits lying at
and under the water levels in
the mineral zone of Phoebe, and
a general feeling of satisfaction
prevails in Pioche over the ter
mination of this suit.

ArbOr Day
Proclamation

In accordance with law, /,
John Sparks, Governor of the
State of Nevada, do hereby de-
signate Friday, April II, 1903,
as Arbor Day, and do proclaim
that said day shall be observed
as a holiday by the public schools
of this State; provided, that
nothing herein shall be constru-
ed as making this a legal holiday
so far as the courts and civil
contracts are concerned" and
do most earnestly recommend
that the day ''be observed by
the people of the State in the
planting trees, shrubs and vines,
in the promotion of forest
growth and culture, in the
adornment of public and private
grounds, places and ways, and
in such other efforts and under
takings as shall be in harmony
with the character of the day so
established"
The above statement of law
should be sufficient to convince
all persons, who feel a personal
interest in the future welfare of
our Commonwealth, to respond
to the sentiments, not selfishly,
but for the public good. 1t is
within the memory of all early
settlers that our mountains were
covered with magnificent forest
and woodland trees, but the
woodman's ak vigorously ap-
piled soon left a bald, barren
waste. A feeble attempt was

The suit which has been pend.
ing in our district court wherein
Mark Church has been suing E.
Greenwood for the possession OF
valuable mining property stu.
ated in this district, for an al.
legged breach of contract, came
to rightful conclusion last week.
A jury of twelve of our citizens,
in the shortest possible time,
forever put at rest the PROPOSE
ton that energetic, capable and
honest business men will in the
fullest measure receive the sup
port of the people of Phoebe and
Lincoln county. They by their
verdict demonstrated that a
court of justice in Lincoln county
will not countenance interference
with legitimate mining, and the
throttling of our paramount in
dustry.
From the time the defense
started to introduce it's evidence
it seemed apparent as to how the
verdict ought to be. In every
particular it proved that the de-
fendant had not only made every
effort to comply with the terms
of the contract, but had gone out
of his way in order to appease
the arbitrary demands of the
plaintiff. The action of the
plaintiff seemed strange to us.
We of the western country well
know the courtesies that are
sometimes extended in mining
deals. Evidence of good faith
is all that is called for, and this
attempt to enforce a forfeiture
on what at the best could have
been but a short time, if at all,
was entirely unheard of. We
congratulate the jury for the
stand taken, not only for the
verdict they rendered, for they
could not have done otherwise
under the evidence and instruc-
tion of the court, but for the
prompt manner in which they
rendered it, thus making it doub-
ly impressive, and when at the
request of counsel for the plain
tiff the jury was polled, a prompt
and emphatic "yes" came from
each juror.

James Farrell
Sees Property
e-President of Phoebe.
Pacific Outlines Exten-
sive Development.

James Farrell of Salt Lake
City, has been in Phoebe the past
week inspecting different mining
properties here in which he is
largely interested. Mr.. Farrel
is man of large experience in a
mining way, and has been iden.
titled with mining in this section
for a long time. He is one OF
the principal owners in the OLD
Timer mine west of town.
The latest property in which
Mr.. Farrell has become interested
is the Pioche-P Pacific Mining COM
pany, recently organized, and in
which he holds the position of
vice-president. The properties
of the Pioche-Pacific have an
ideal location for mineral values,
being southeast of and adjoin-
ing the Ohio-Kentucky and south
of and adjoining the Nevada
Utah properties. Their ground
comprises the consolidation OF
properties recently perfected be-
tween the Fowler and Baum
garth -Dedrich interests, COM
posed Of eleven claims.
1t is the intention of the COM
pany to Immediately sink a dou.

treasurer, James Farrell vice-pre.
sident and S. Fowler secretary.
Robert Baumgarth has the posi-
ton of general manager. The
above, together with w. H. King
and Joseph Dedrich constitute
the board of directors. The per-
sonnel of the directorate of the
company assure aggressiveness
in the development of the pro-
perty. as well as the economical
and conservative expenditure of
the company's money, which
will surely result in the opening
up of a great property.

ordered to pay forwith $2oe ali

OF this sort Of dealing in Nevada,
and an effective lesson should be

The plaintiff in this case acted
very fairly. We all know Geo.
G. Fetterman as being one of
our most energetic and foremost
business men. he has been iden-
titled with the buziness interests
OF Lincoln county for many years
and has had thousands of dollars
invested, first in DeLamar and
secondly in Caliente, where he
has built up a BUSINESS and erect
ed buildings which would be a
credit to cities Of much larger
proportions. Noone, in his long
experience with US, has ever
questioned his integrity. We
believe absolutely his contention
as to the reason fUf the stock be-
ing placed with she bank, aasl7so
believing. it is up to Orange L
explain why he took this securi-
ty out of the state and made the
bank liable, and thus work a

camille company or its cash val.
ue, 500, 900. The defendant cor
poration contended that the
stock was held to secure a stock
subscription which Fetterman
owed the bank, but the prepon-
derance of the evidence went to
the point of determining that
the plaintiff had placed the stock
with the bank to secure the pay
ment of certain notes, which he
had temporarily placed with the
bank, every dollar of which, as
the evidence proved, Fetterman
had paid in gold coin, and that
the bank had no right to further
hold the stock. The court found
that the plaintiff was entitled to
the immediate delivery of the
stock or the sum of SOS, 600,
which it found to be its value.
0. c. Dranga, cashier of the
Lincoln County Bank, had a stay
of execution granted for five
days in order to enable him to
get the stock in the bank upon
him filing a bond in the sum of
$10,O
From the evidence adduced it
would seem that Dranga had no
right whatever to take this stock
out of the bank. 1t was wrong
fully held by the bank, and none
of its officers had any
right to take it out of the
jurisdiction of the court, which
