issue under advisement for a short
time and then ruled in favor Of the
application and ordered that a thir-
teenth juror be impaneled.
With no tangible reason for objec-
tion apparent from Moores statements
in opposition to the securing of this
alternate juror, it is just possible that
superstition may have played some part
in the proceedings.
SUPERSTITION INVOLVED
Strangely enough. this fishing for a
thirteenth juror had its beginning on
the thirteenth day of the month and at
the end of the thirteenth week of the
trial. When adjournment was taken
yesterday afternoon 13 talesmen had
been examined and Is others were left
in the box for examination today
At most, the selection of the alter
nate juror should not occupy more than
a few days and there is every prospect
that the actual trial viii be under way
by the end Of the week There was
little encouragement yesterday, how
ever. for every talesman examined was
biased, beset with opinions, prejudiced
or otherwise disqualified.
Those examined and excused were
John L. Medau. Milton Metzler. William
d. Meyers. Albert W. Morgan Henry

THE CLEVELAND RANCH SOLD
Noted White Pine County Prop
erty Purchased BY Mormon
Church For 100000

Ely Record: Some weeks ago the
Record announced the probable sale Of
the Cleveland ranch Of Spring valley
one of the largest and most beautiful
ranch properties in the State-to the
Mormon church. On Saturday last the
first payment of $4,000 was made on
the purchase price of 500. 900.
Thomas Judd. who had much to do
with the colonization Of White River
valley, arranged all preliminaries in re-
gard to the deal, and took the option on
che property in his name. but 1t 10 the
general supposition that he is acting for
the church. 1t is presumed that the
same general plan Of colonization will
be carried out as was successfully &C
complished at Lund and Preston. which
are shining examples of the great work
the Mormon Church is doing through
out the desert region.
AS 1T those places, the lands Of the
Cleveland ranch will no doubt be sold at
original cost on 10 years time at 6 per
cent interest, which will give people Of
limited means an opportunity to secure
homes and pay for them from the earn
ings Of the soil.
1t has been stated that the greater
portion of the ~colonists will come from
st. George, one of the most prosperous
.atlnr,apNa - oA.fharn TTfoh n0nhf-
less many Of these people will have am.
Pile means for the rapid improvement Of
their places. so that the community will
Immediately spring into importance as q
producer Of agricultural supplies for
Ely and the surrounding mining camps.
1t is expected that 100 families, or ap-
p~roximatsly 500 people. will be located
upon the lands of the Cleveland ranch
within the coming year, but this will by
no means be the end, for the entire
| Spring valley is susceptible to Guilt
walton, either by artesian water or by
pumping from shallow wells.
With the influx of this new popula-
ton it is reasonable to presume that
within a very few years the entire val.
ley will be peopled with a thrifty and
intelligent class of people, who will add
greatly to the wealth and general pros
perity Of the county.
The only regret the Record has in ex-
tending q hearty welcome to the new
colony is due to the probable Loss Of
Mrs. Cleveland as a resident Of the
county.

JOE CARROLL KILLED AT ELK0
Shot In The Back By Redlight Woman
and Dies Almost Instantly

Shot In The Back By Redlisht Woman
and Dies Almost Instantly
At Elko about 9 O'Clock Tuesday
night Joseph D. Carroll. agent Of the
Becker Brewing Company, was shot in
the back and killed by Birdie DeRacey,
25 years Of age and a resident of Elko's
tenderloin for the past year. She bought
a 3S-calibre pistol at the Smith Company
store the same afternoon Of the tragedy,
saying that she was afraid to come mp
town at night without a gun. The wo-
man claims the shooting was accidental.
Carroll had evidently turned to leave
the woman as the bullet entered his
back. just below the left shoulder blade.
and passed through the body. lodging
under the skin nearly over the heart.
After he was shot, Carroll walked about
55 or go feet before he fell. The bullet
evidently pierced his lungs, as he bled
copiously from the mouth.
A mother. Mrs. Dusang. Of Battle
Mountain. and a wife and daughter
survive the deceased.

Killing At Nina

"Slim" Grimmet shot and killed Ed
Baker at Nina Saturday night after an
alteration over some money matters,
Grimmet claiming that Baker had not
acted squarely with him in the division
OF some money. 1t seems that the two
men had had some gambling deal. Baker,
it seems. had some money that he had
won gambling and refused to divide as
Grimmet desired. Words followed where
1t Baker pulled his gun and opened fire
on Grimmet. Grimmet then shot. the
second bullet striking Baker in the left
eye and entering the brain. He died
shortly after. From all that can be
learned, Baker vas the aggressor, and
Grimmet shot in self defense. Grinmet
was formerly located in Gold6eld and
was in Tonopah but a few days ago.
Baker was . brother Of B. F. Baker, who
runs the Baker hotel at Nina.
