SHERIFF'S OFFICE
IS IN SEARCH OF
HORSE Thieves

Probably the first warrant issued
by the newly appointed justice of
the peace, ]. P. Brissell, out of the
Glendale district, was issued today
for the arrest of five men (names
unknown )accused of stealing and
changing the brand Or horse called
Little JIM" owned by Ed Clifford,
Sr.
The horse when found by Jim
Clifford this morning had been SO
badly and brutally abused that it is
thought advisable to kill him. The
Oxford brand of Nv had been re-
Gently clumsily changed to an NJ.
Deputy Sheriff Phillips, who ar
rived in Glendale yesterday started
at IL o'clock this morning to appre-
bend the thieves, but up to late
hour this evening he had not re-
turned to camp.

DOING GOOD WORK.

Few people would imagine that
the administration of single state
Office within the territorial jurisdic-
ton of one county could save the
people in costs the sum of $500, 900,
but it is a fact that owing to the
activity of the state engineers Of
fee in the last two years, the i'm
portant questions surrounding the
priority of water rights on the True
kee river have been so far settled
that it is safe to say there will
never be any more litigation on the
subject in that county. When it is
realized that in Washoe county alone
nearly 100000 has been expended
in suits of this character, the value
Of the work is at once apparent.

ATTORNEY and (
JUROR CLASH in
The FORD CASE

Yesterdays session of the district
court was taken up by counsel for
respective sides examining prospec-
tive jurors. At the conclusion of the
day one juror had been passed for
cause, P. F. Lamborn. Robert Dali
zell, secretary of the local branch of
the Western Federation, was being
put through the test when court adj
journed.
The monotony of the day was con-
siderably relieved during the ex-
animation of Charles Coble, who, it
was evident, had made up his mind
that he was unfit for duty as juror
in the case, because he had formed
opinions of his own which would
make it impossible for him to give
the defendant Ford fair and i'm
partial trial.
st appears to me-" said Coble in
answer to a question by Ford's law
yer, chat there is going to be some
thing pulled off here" He was ex-
cused.
The trial juror Coble stated aft
erwards that he believed the defense
of Ford was to be based upon the
Itechnicalities of the law, an opinion
that is generally shared in by all
who have been present during the
examination of jurors.
The court is taking every pre-
caution to keep those in the box
from gathering any data on the out
side concerning the merits of the
case He invariably instructs them
to communicate with no one con-
corning the matter and to allow nc
one to communicate with them
Whether accepted or not, they are in
charge of the sheriff until such 9
time as they have been examined
and excused. At the present rate
it will be several days yet before
the case will come fairly on for trial

GOLDFIELD IS
PREPARING FOR
mining CONGRESS

Goldfield, New, July %, 1909.
To the Tonopah Daily Bonanza, Ton
opah, Nevada
At a regular meeting of the board
of mining congress commissioners,
held this day in the Office of Milton
M. Detch, secretary, at Goldfield,
the reports of the solicitors, Messrs.
Charles F. Kapp and Branch H.
Smith, were read and approved.
A resolution was introduced and
unanimously endorsed thanking the
citizens at large, the stage and rail-
road companies and particularly the
press of Nevada, for their kind treat
ment and the many Inequalities
shown their solicitors during their
recent visit to the camps throughout
the state.
The commissioners desire to state
to the various committees through
out the state, who have charge of
collecting and shipping exhibits from
their immediate vicinity, that the
matter of freight transportation has
been settled and that all exhibits
will be shipped free of charge from
point of shipping to Goldf1eld and
return if desired, otherwise to the
state school of mines, at Reno. The
commissioners earnestly request that
the exhibits be forwarded immedi-
ately that the board may not be
embarrassed at the eleventh hour.
The arranging, classifying and cata-
Logging of specimens is one of the
arduous tasks and requires consider
able time. Some of the exhibits
have arrived and now that the ques-
tion of transportation has been ar
ranged, 1t is expected that exhibits
will arrive daily.
Yours very truly,
M. M. DETCH, Sccy.
