Notwlthstanding die strenuous effort

Notwithstanding the strenuous effort
to organize n business mems associa-
ton in this city. the Manchester pro-
fessional men and citizens feebly re-
sponded to the call, and at the meeting
which was held yesterday afternoon In
traternal Hall, there was not more
than "corporal's guard present.
The leaders In the movement. while
very much .dscoura ged, have not given
up hope, and though not sufficient
number were on hand to perfect tho
Organization, a temporary association
was formed, with Professor Hoke. of
the High School, as temporary chair
man and G.. OBJ. Cownrdin temporary
secretary.
Progressive business men and citi-
zens who hold the interest OF the city
close to heart were In attendance. but
there was little they could do.
Owing, however. to the determination
of the citizens who attended, the matter
will not be allowed to drop, and al
ready the temporary organization has
appointed a committee consisting OF
Professor Hoke. Mr.. Cowardin and John
Moore, to send out invitations to the
business and professional men OF the
city to meet at Fraternal Hall Monday
night at s o'clock. and to finally decide
whether tile DuSlueSS men ana ClClZcne
generally wish to form an organization.
II cannot understand the failure OF
the business men to respond to the
meeting" said a prominent citizen last
night, especially after so many had
expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of the plan, and had avowed
their intention Of being present when

LAW OF THE STATE
STANDS GOOD CHANCE OF BE-
ING TESTED IN COURTS OF
WASHOE COUNTY.

Wednesdays Reno Journal publish
es an article stating that r. E.
Pierce is threatening the arrest CT
Sam Lucich for back-dating a loca-
ton notice on some Oil claims. lOcal-
ed near Reno. No doubt the case will
be watched with much interest ii it
comes to trial, as every mining camp
in the state has been hampered by
individuals without scruple who have
antedated someone else's notice of
location The last regular legislature
passed a law making it felony to
do this sort OF thing, but there have
been no arrests made up to date.
The merits of the Reno case will
not be known until evidence is sub
mitted before a court of justice, but
if it should be proven that the de-
PENDANT has done as claimed by the
complaining witness he should receive
the fullest punishment allowed by law
There are fe VIKINGS OF greater
meanness than the despicable act of
classifying notice of location. 1t is
often a hard thing to prove and the
fraud often prevents the original
claimant from possessing that which
belongs to him. A prospector may in
some instances be cheated out of his
mining claim, after having spent
months of work and hardship in dis
covering valuable mineral deposits.
He may have been out alone and To-
Gated the ground with his single
name. The antedator takes up the
same claim, and because one man s
word is generally held as good as
another's, steals it away from the
rightful owner The first conviction
under the new law will no doubt
have a beneficial effect throughout

cent message, the Louisville Courier
Journal sums it up in the following
manner:
1T is a precedent-breaking perform
ance-precedent-breaking among the
long series of broken precedents by
a confirmed. almost daily, precedent
breaker. There can be no denying,
for instance, that it is telling. a ter
rife philippe. 1t is veritab1e blud-
geon of powerful English, fiercely
welded, crashing direct upon the
objects of it's aim. No public deliver
ance of the President has been so hot,
so terse. or has gone straighter to the
point. If he had overcome tendency
to repetition and abandoned his habit
of lengthy quotation, he would have
produced in this paper which would
have been a model of its kind-if it
has kind.
