LAND AGENT Law.
TON VISITS TOWN

d. J. Lawton, special agent of the
United States land office, was in town
for day last week, accompanied by
Charles W. Wells, United States min
eral surveyor. The gentlemen were
prepared to investigate the claims of
all mining men having disputed mining
claims within the Southern Pacific land
grant, but it is not learned that any
were called to their attention.
However, Mr.. Lawton made arrange
ments with l.. d. Hubbard to LOOK
after these matters. Parties having
disputed claims may leave the data
with Mr.. Hubbard, at his assay Office,
and if the facts seem to warrant ac-
tion, Mr. Lawton will be communicated
with and will at once come himself or
send an agent to make an investigs-
tion.

NOT A REPUDIATION OF
JUSTICE OF PEACE FITTs )

Owing to the fact that Don Ritchie
was last week acquitted in the district
court of the crime of carrying con-
cealed weapon, on appeal from the sen.
tence of the Lovelock justice court,
there is apparently a disposition IN
some quarters to consider the verdict
reputation of Judge Fits, who pre-
sided at the trial in the lower court.
The facts of the case, briefly stated,
are that Ritchie demanded jury at
his trial in the justice court and the
case was decided by the following OF
his fellow citizen: Lester Van Reid,
John Atkins, @. o. Davis, III. Christen-
sen, Jack Surran, Otis johnson, Mike
McGovern, w. III. Goodin, Chas. l..
Baker, j. T. Marker, Ray Collins, ..
Il. Owens. The jury returning a YER
dict of guilty, it then became the duty
of Judge Fits to pronounce sentence,
which he accordingly did. 1t is there
fore evident that the district court
jury simply overruled the verdict OF
the justice court jury.

Cashier j. Sheehan, of the First Ma

MAY GET MINING
CONGRESS

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dee. 6.-The fight
for the next session of the mining con
gress is now ON between Seattle and
Goldfield. There will be a vote on the
question by the directors of the mining
congress on January 10, and at that
time the representatives of Nevada at
the congress hope to land the session
for Goldfield. Joe Hutchinson and Ben
ID. Luce, two of Nevada's prominent
mining men, who are representing Ne
vada at the mining congress, are work
ing hard to have Goldfeld named as the
next meeting place and believe that
they have a good chance of winning
although Seattle is making hard fig
for the honor.
The Goldfeld chamber of commerce
has wired an invitation to the mem
bers of the mining congress to hold
their next session in Goldfield and have
offered to raise the money necessary fos
the expenses of the session and to en-
tertain the representatives, at the
congress.

BY COWARDLY ASSASSIN

Robins was engaged in the district
court, as defendants 3 counsel in the
Webster case, he was unable to 20, and
accordingly Judge Langwith was sum-
moned by telegraph from Golconda.
The murder is undoubtedly the Sc
quel to the Taylor tragedy Of last sum
mer. After shooting James Edison, jim
Taylor escaped to the northern part
OF the county, where he was harbored
by the gang Of rustlers" that infest
that locality. Learning Of his where
abouts, Sheriff Lamb went after the
desperado, and while the latter was re-
sistnig arrest, shot and killed him. At
the time Larkin was stock detective,
with his eye on the gang in the vicinity
of the tragedy, and Taylor's friends
gave him the credit Of having dis
covered the fugitive's hiding place ami
informing the sheriff. Barr is said to
have been particularly bitter and 70
have threatened to kill Larkin upon the
first opportunity.

CAPLES CONVICTED
BY JURY

Owing to the illness of Juror Rich
ards, Of Lovelock, the case Of State OF
Nevada VS.. Caples, on trial for assault
with intent to kill, did not go to the
jury until 10 o'cvlock Saturday even
ing. Sunday afternon, verdict was
returned finding Caples guilty Of as
sault with intent to do bodily harm,
and l O'Clock today was fixed by Judge
Orr as the hour for passing sentence.
At / O'Clock, on motion of defend
ants attorneys, sentence was post
poned until Saturday, at O'Clock,
in order to allow counsel time in whicn
to prepare motion for a new trial. 1t
is understood from hearsay that the
principal ground for new trial will
be the illness of Juror Richards, who
is alleged to have had two fits while
the jury was deliberating on the case,
and was consequently incapacitated
from rendering an intelligent verdict
1t is also claimed that the men on the
jury favorable to defendant agreed to
compromise verdict from fear that
Richards might die before a verdict
could be otherwise reached.
Yesterday and today the case of the
State of Nevada VS.. Webster is on
trial before Judge Orr and jury. De-
fendant, who is represented by Judge
Robins, was indicted for assault with
intent to kill. The alleged assault was
committed on the person of Constable
Wolf, of Lovelock, while that officer
was trying to arrest defendant at Hum
boldt House some weeks ago. The ease
is expected to go to the jury this after
noon.
Tomorrow the case of the State of
Nevada VS.. Mollie Harrison will be
taken up.

DEPUTY SHERIFF LARKIN
KILLED WITHOUT WARMING
Believed to Have Been Sequel to Tay.
lor Tragedy of Last Summer-Mur-
derer Barr Effects Temporary
Escape

Last Saturday afternoon, at about 3
clock, Deputy Sheriff Billy Larkin
was murdered in cold blood by Charlie.
Barr, bucaroo, at Riley's ranch on
Kings river, about IS miles northwest
of Winnemucca. AS near as can be
ascertained at this writing the facts
are substantially as follows:
Last Wednesday Larkin started from
Winnemucca in company with John
Saval, the well-known sheepman, to
serve some papers in civil suit on a
sheepman living in the vicinity of
Kings river. Arriving at the Riley
ranch at about 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, they left their team at ths
barn and went to the house for din
ner. Knowing that Barr had made
threats against Larkin, Floyd Nc
Reynolds, foreman of the ranch, told
the latter that Barr was around, being
employed on the ranch, and advised
Larkin to see him and tell him that he
was not looking for him. Larkin is
said to have replied that he did not be-
lieve Barr would bother him any, and
after dinner started for the barn
alone, Saval remaining behind for o
moment. When he had gone about
half the distance to the barn, Barr
stepped to the door of the house, rifle
in hand, and fred three shots at his
victim, all of which lodged in his back,
producing almost instant death.
The murderer then secured all the
firearms in the house, went to the cor
raj and saddled the fastest horse on the
ranch and rode away.
Foreman McReynolds started al
soon as possible to notify the officers.
Arriving at the Toll house Sunday
morning, he telephoned the facts to
Sheriff Lamb, who Immediately set to
work on the case. AS the fugitive had
long start, was well armed and
mounted, and knew the country well,
there was little prospect of running him
down, SO the sheriffs of Nevada, Idaho,
Utah and California were at once noti-
fed and given good description OF
the murderer.
Sheriff Lamb started for the scene
of the tragedy Sunday afternoon, ac.
companied by Coroner Langwith OF
Golconda, with a team and rig, there
being no automobile available at the
time. Owing to the fact that Judgs

Meat trusts are no more popular nj
Great Britain than in America. The
order of Secretary Wilson of the Unis
ed States department of agricultur"
placing the states of New York and
Pennsylvania under cattle-shipment
quarantine because of the outbreak OF
foot and mouth disease was made uin
der the pretext of an immediate adj
vance in the price of beef in the Lon
don and other British markets. This
quarantine order would not necessar'
lily diminish by single head the num-
ber of cattle shipped from the ports OF
Baltimore, Norfolk and Galveston, but
the beef trust in Great Britain as else
where knows its business.
This British beef trust, by the way,
is particularly unpopular because IT
generally ,s supposed to be an Amerl-
