SHERIFF BRADLEY
Wins HIS SUIT
SUPREME COURT ORDERS ES-
MERALDA COUNTY TO SET
TIE OLD BILL

A Judgment of the district court
by Judge Theron Stevens in the
suit of Sheriff J. F. Bradley for fees
amounting to $500, alleged by him
to be due for collecting licenses and
taxes during 1906 and 1906, has
been upheld by the supreme court
to which it was taken following the
determination of the trial in the
local courts, according to telegraph
ic advices received yesterday.
The suit grew out of the refusal
of the county treasurer to pay Cap
tain Bradley the amount demanded
by him as the fees in the two cases
appealed, and that the former
amount involved about $1,000. At
about the time the demand was
made for the settlement by Captain
Bradley the county filed suit against
the former sheriff, asking that he
return to the county sum reck-
oned at about $4,000, which he was
alleged at the time to have held
out as fees, and to which he was
said not to be entitled. In 1906

the proceedings yesterday Attorney
Chartz, after stating that Mr.. Hoff-
man desired more time to produce
the voluminous records Of the banks
demanded by Boyd, asked the court
to indulge him while/he made a
statement.
He started out by disclaiming any
desire on his part or on the part OF
his clients, Frank Golden and the
First National bank, to hinder the
investigation under way, but he
must protest against any further eX-
animation of the minute book OF
the board of directors of the bank
by Boyd and Salisbury, attorneys
for the receivers of the Nye and

ated that he would be pleased to al

bids will be received at the Fallon
office up to and including December
II. Contrary to the usual rule, no
eXactions were made by specifica-
lions or positive forms of contract,
but the bidder is free to deal di-
rectly with Project Engineer Thorn
as II. Means and make what would
be an offer consistent with individ-
ual iterests The secretary of the
interior, realizing the urgent neces-
sity of utilizing the power, which
has been wasted from the time of
the completion of the Truckee canal
to the present has caused the edict
to so forth that he will not refuse
to approve and sign and reasonable
form of contract that may be rec
commended by Mr.. Means.
AS far as is known there are but
two possible bidders for the Truckee

books, papers and records were de-
sired to further the ends of the in

He said that the only reason that
Boyd insists upon examining the
minute books is from personal feel
ing and malice and revenge toward
Golden and that the examination
would serve no other end whatever
except to ruin the First National
bank, the clientele Of which already
was uneasy.
He stated that he went too far on
Tuesday evening in allowing counsel
to examine the book and that he
should be discharged for SO doing
but that his feelings were SO out

him to leave the table where they
were examining the book, that he
