Charges Conspiracy to Rob

Goldfield Nev March nth. Alleging
fraud on the part of Volney B. Leonard
and others, Charles Ruter. who claims
to own 235 shares Of the 600 shares Of
stock of the Bank of Rawhide has filed
suit against the bank for the value of
his stock, and John X Turner has been
appointe rec siver of the institution.
Ruter alleges that on May 18th 1908
the Bank of Rawhide entered into a
verbal contract with VolneyB Leonard
of the Miners and Merchants bank. the
consideration being 300 shares stock of
the Miners and Merchants Bank. He
claims that the assets of the
Bank of Rawhide, amounting to
s39. 900 cash, $1,000 in fixtures, SIT, 900
in notes and $4,000 in real estate were
transferred to the Miners and Mer-
chants Bank, and that later that bank
failed without giving the Directors of
Rawhide its shares of stock as con-
sideration and that the bank of Raw
hide has a legal right to the property it
turned over to the Miners and Mer-
chants Bank, as that bank never paid
for it.
He claimed that the deal was simply
a conspiracy on the part Volney B.
Leonard and others to loot the bank of
Rawhide and dissipate its assets.
The complaint says the Indebtedness
of the Bank of Rawhide is approxi-
mately $40, 900 and its assets, aside from
the claim against the Merchants and
Miners Bank, do not exceed 81, 900

Roswell o. Post has recently re-
turned to Fallon after an extensive
three months trip through the East and
South. The greater part Of bis time
was spent in his home town OF Jackson
vile, Illinois, from whore he went on
making visits with friends in Buffalo,
N. Y. and Pittsburg, Pa. Returning
he came by way of New Orleans where
he witnessed the famous Mardi Gfas
Carnival and from thence on to San
Antonio, and Ell Paso, Texas, at which
point he went over the line into Mexi-
co and witnessed his first and as he
says, his last, bull fight. In Arizona he
made short stop witl the family of
Special Fiscal Agent of Frank G.
Hough, in Phoenix, and in California,
stopped in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Post says that the East is all
there just as he left it but that Nevada
is the best of all and the place for him
and that no town that he has been in
has such unlimited possibilities and
such bright future as Fallon.

Night on the Desert

The nights in the desert are as beau
tiful as the days, though in winter
they are often bitterly cold. With the
assistance of warm bed and plenty OF
blankets, however. one may sleep in
the open in comfort, and only those
who have known this vast bedroom
will understand how beautiful night
may be. If one turns to the east, one
may stare at Mars flashing red some
where over Arabia, and westward
there is Jupiter blazing above the Sa-
hara. One looks up and up at the ex-
panse of star strewn blue, and ones
mind journeys of itself into the place
of dreams before sleep has come to
conduct it thither. he dark desert
drops beneath one. The bed floats in
mid air with planets above and below.
Gould one but peer over the side, the
earth would be seen as small and vivid
as the moon, but a trance holds the
body inactive, and the eyes are fixed
upon the space above. Then quietly
a puff of wind brings one down again
to realities as it passes from darkness
to darkness. Consciousness returns
quickly and gently, points out the as
pect of the night, indicates the larger
celestial bodies and as quickly and
gently leaves one again to the tender
whispers of sleep.
When there is moonlight there is
more to carry the eye into the region
of dreams on earth than there is in the
heavens, for the desert spreads out a.
round one in a silver shimmering haze,
and no limit can be placed to its hori-
IONS. The eye cannot tell where the
sand meets the sky, nor can the mind
know whether there is any meeting.
In the dimness of com ng sleep one
wonders whether the hands Of the sky
are always just out of reach Of those
of the desert, whether there is always
another mile to journey and always an
other hill to climb, and, wondering,
one drifts into Inconsistencies. At
dawn the light brings ono back to
earth in time to see the sun pass up
from behind the Low hills. In contrast
to the vague night the proceeding is
rapid and businesslike. The light pre-
cedes it's monarch only by half an hour
or so, and ere the soft eolors have been
fully appreciated the sun appears over
the rocks and filings sharp beam into
the eyes of every living thing so that
in a moment the camp is stirred and
awakened.

Eastern Star Initiation

The order of Eastern Star had reg
ular old time love feast Tuesday even
ing at New River hall.
Grand Worthy Matron Mrs. Loueila
Butler of Sparks was present and assis-
charge of the Official ceremonies. Af-
ter the regular business meeting, two
candidates for membership were initi-
ated into the secrets of the society.
These two candidates make a total of
ten new members added to the lodge
during the present year.
Twenty seven members were present
and gave the candidates Mesdames
Hattie and Maud Dunbar-the full ex-
tent of the initiation ceremonies; in
fact, it is said that they even stretched
point or two.
After the ceremony of initiation,
refreshments consisting of cake, coffee,
sandwiches, and deviled eggs were
served. Right here the editor wishes
to compliment the ladies of the East
ern Star upon the quality of the cake.
He received liberal consignment for
which he returns thanks. If there is
anything that he likes better than
piece of cake, it is two pieces. The
way to win the way to mans heart
is through his stomach. The editor will
certainly have a warm spot in his heart
for the Eastern Stars hereafter. An
other good may result also perhaps
some of the other orders may take the
hint and contribute some delicacies.
Mr.. |. H. Kent gathered the mem
bers and took them to the hall in his
auto. They were taken home by
Messrs. Dolf and jeffrey in their rigs.
Taken as whole more enjoyable
meeting was never held by local
lodge.

u. S. r. S. Building

/
mercial Club to Mr.. Thos. H. Means
Chief engineer of the U. S. r. S. sub
stantiates our statement made
many times that the Fallon Commercial
Club is always on the alert to secure
anything of public benfit:
At a special meeting of the Fallon
Commercial Club, called on Monday
evening March 22nd at seven thirty P.
M. for the purpos of taking Official act
ion in reference to location and site
of the proposed new government build
ing to be constructed by the officials of
U. :. Reclamation Service and to be
used as a main office building; the en-
closed resolution was introduced by Mr..
French and was seconded by Mr.. Kent
and passed by unanimous vote of the
members of the club. We are pleased
to inform you further that committee
of three, consisting Mcssrs Fitzpatrick,
Kent and Marean was appointed to con-
fer with the Reclamation Service offic-
ials in regard to the selection of site
for the proposed building and to aid in
as far as might be in their power.
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas this club has received inform
alton that the government is about to
construct substantial modern building
for permanent use as an Office building
at or near the present location of the
Headquarters Camp, about one mile
from the city of Fallon:-
Be it hereby resolved by the members
of this cluq here assembled that we do
all in our power, both officially and per-
sonaly, to prevail upon the officials in
charge of the construction Of said build
ing, to locate the same within the city
of Fallon.
That the location of said building
within the limits Of our city would be
more advantage geous and more desirable
te all concerned, is the unanimous opin-
len of the members of this club here
assembled.
The present location is very incon-
yenient to all persons transacting bust.
ness with the government, as it is dis
tant about one mile from the postoffice,
requiring to reach there much unneces-
sary time and travel. The same reason
applies more forcibly to the employees,
many of whom reside within the city
limits; also the prospective homeseekers
and visiting strangers are put to much
trouble and some little expense in
obtaining necessary transportation to
reach the main Office, at its present
location.
The location and erection of brick or
cement building within the boundaries
of our city would be a valuable acquisi-
ton and add to the beauty and perman-
ency of the town and be greatly appre-
ciated by the members of this club.
Also be it further resolved that the
president and secretary of this club are
hereby authorized and directed to draft
and forward copy of these resolutions
to each of the u. S. officials directly
concerned in the location and building
of the above needed public building.

500 Club Party

Mesdames /. H. Kent and Milton
Wallace entertained the members of
the 800 Club and their husbands at
their home last evening. The game
from which the club derives its name
was used as a means for the ladies to
test their skill against that of their
husbands and current reports say that
they succeeded admirably.
The Kent Wallace home was taste
fully decorated for the occasion.
Pretty and useful prizes were given,
and supper, the predominating fea-
ture of which was the excellent cuisine
of Mrs. Kent and her daughter, Mrs.
Wallace. Followed play, after which
came social conversation. Needless to
say, the ladies' excelled at this also.
Withal the evening viii be considered
by those in attendance one long to be
remembered.

Churchill County land, it is a
generally admitted fact that
horses live longer in this section
than any other. That they fre-
quently live 35 to 40 years which
is double their life in the Mississ-
ippi valley states and three times
the life of an equine in the regid
climate of Canada and some of
cur northern states. This is truly
the equine paradise when he
will do more work on alfalfa than
over in the coast section where
he gets liberal grain allowance
along with his hay. His wind is
better here, and in the opinion
of experts, it should not take
long, with proper breeding and
care. to develop a superior type
of horse characteristic of this
section. Col. Burns knows too
much about horses to come here
without a reason.
A special train arrived Monday
evening with five car loads of 56
head of this stock from the Wat
erhouse ranch. Owing to the
inclemency of the weather all
the horses were left in town.
Most of them were housed in the
Clark Feed Barn. Others
were put in the /. H. Kent cor
raj. The two-year-olds were
put in the corral at that barn.
A finer lot of thoroughbreds one
could hardly expect to see.
Three attendants accompanied
the stock here and will look af-
ter their welfare. Two of the
stations are rated as worth 500,
900 each.
The following from the San
Francisco Examiner may prove
of interest:
The sale of six stations and
one hundred brood mares marks
the passing of the Burns and
Waterhouse ranch famous in the
annals of Pacific coast racing.
A deal was consummated yes
terday by which the Hopland
thoroughbreds were transferred
to H. J. Kinkead of Fal'on New,
and A. G. SCHNEIDER of Woodland.
Negotiations had been on for
some day. and although the pur-
chase price was not made known,
1t can be said to have reached a
high figure. The horses are to
leave their home Immediately
and be shipped to the mammoth
ranch of thenew owners at Fallon
New. At Fallon the stations will
be bred to cold blooded mares as
well as to thoroughbred matrons
thus producing a higher type Of
general utility horse.
Eddie Jones, Altamax, Maxine,
Colonel Wheeler the names of
such stations have been familiar
to racegoers for a long time.
most of them gaining regulations
