District Court Proceedings

P. Paroni VS.. G. b. Simonsen. This
case was called for trial by Court on
November 5. The action is for specific
performance of q written contract to
convey certain interests Of the defend.
ant, Simonsen, in some mining loca-
tions situate on Prospect Mountain.
The complaint shows that the defendant
was indebted to plaintiff in September.
1907, for merchandise and cash in the
the sum Of 1921. 80; that defendant
wanting to leave here for Ely, in consid-
GRAFTON of the existing debt and money
enough to take him there, gave Paroni
a written agreement to the effect that
If the debt was not paid in six months
time the defendant would forfeit the
property to Paroni. The agreement was
written out by the defendant, and wit.
messed by A. @. Florio. and like most
instruments made out by laymen is some.
what ambiguous in its terms, iii fact, is
of q kind that generally leads to litiga.
ton. The plaintiff called Paroni and
Florio. who testified to the making of
the agreement and other facts. The
defendant failed to appear and testify.
Witnesses were called as to the market
value OF the claims at the time Of the
contract. Upon request. counsel were
given until the middle of next month
to file briefs in support of their conten.
tentions. Counsel for plaintiff made
oral argument in support of his side,
and counsel for defendant expressed
himself as preferring to discuss the case
by filing a brief. The Court said that
as the case involved some nice law
points. a written opinion. requiring a
little extra time, would be filed with its
decision.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH BAZAAR
Proceeds To Be Used For ChiIdren's
Christmas Tree and Gifts

The ladies of st. James Guild will
give q bazaar and dance at the Eureka
Opera House on Friday evening, De.
cember 10. The proceeds Of this enter
tainment will be used to provide the
children with a Christmas tree and gifts,
aud should they be fortunate enough to
make more than sufficient for that OBJ
ject, IL will be used toward paying for
repairs to the church.
The Guild feels very grateful to all
who have helped them in any way. In
Two years it has built and furnished a
substantial stone room in the rear Of the
church, to be used as q vestry, which
was very much needed. The building
has been paid for, but the church roof
needs to be shiugled aud the interior
renovated. This is a good cause aud
deserves the liberal patronage of the
public. who should keep places of wor-
ship in repair.
The bazaar will have q booth of useful
and fancy articles, a candy tAble. fish
pond aud other attractions. Misses
Grace Travers, Violet Hancock and
Efie Father. the committee OF ar.
rangemeDts. are already working on
plans to make this church benefit a
social and financial success. Further
particulars will be published later.

MEETS WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Miss Annie Smith Thrown From -Four
Horse Wagon and Run Over

"iiss ANNE omfth thrown From -Four
Horse Wagon and Run Over
While driving q four.horse team
hitched to- wagon loaded with fruit and
vegetables, Miss Annie Smith Of New.
ark Valley met with a painful accident
In Eureka last Monday afternoon. She
was on her way to Ruby Hill, going by
way OF Robbins street, and when near
the stone quarry south Of Cedar Hill
one OF the front wheels struck q rock,
which resulted in throwing Miss Smith
from the high seat on to the ground, one
OF the hind wheels passing diagonally
over the calf Of the left leg, badly lacerlt.
ing and bruising that member.
Her sister, Miss Bonnie, who was
seated beside her when the accident oc-
cured. got down on to the tongue of the
wagon and gathering up the lines that
had been dropped stopped the horses.
Miss Smith was taken to the resi-
dence of Mrs. A. Swick on Mob Hill,
and DR.. L. II. Francis summoned.
While the limb is considerably swollen,
is probable that no bones were broken,
still the nature of the injury is such
that il will be some time before Miss
Smith will be up and around again.

During the middle Of July +. X. Smitt,
a miner employed at the Giroux. an
bounced his intention Of going to Eu.
reka to perform assessment work on the
Adams Hill Consolidated Mining Com.
pany's group of claims. Since that time,
nearly four months ago, Smiths where.
abouts have been . mystery. He disap.
peared as completely as though the earth
had opened and swallowed him. For a
month or more past an investigation has
been in progress to unravel the mystery
surrounding his disappearance, but
every effort has met with failure.
Bafisd in every attempt to trace the
missing man, those interested in him
aud those who instituted the search
have come to the conclusion that Smitt
has been the victim of foul play and his
body secreted by his assailants.
No plausible reason has been found to
indicate that the object Of their search
could have desired to quietly pass put
of the life lie has led for some years. On
the contrary there seems to be good cause
for his remaining in this section of the
State where he was employed as miner
and also extensively interested in min.
ing property. The only possible ground
for the murder theory is his complete
disappearance.
Smitt was owner Of some 400 900
shares Of stock Of the Adams Hill Con.
solidated Mining Company, a lead silver
property of Eureka, which when de-
veloped promises to prove a valuable
mins. Some time about the middle Of
%July-the exact date is unknown since
no significance was paid to the state
ment at the time-Smitt announced his
intention of taking the stage for Eureka
to perform his assessment work. In
vestigation has proved that he did not
arrive in Eureka, nor has he been there
at any time since. 1t is no even known
that he boarded the Eureka stage. this
probably due to the fact that no import
ance was attached to his movements at
the time. Inquiry has been made at
Cherry Greek. to which town it is
known he had contemplated making q
trip. Nothing has been seen Of him
there. nor has any trace OF him been
found in Phoebe, Goldfeld. Tonopah or
in other mining camps of the State.
Mail addressed to Smitt has been re-
ceived at the Eureka post Office. as well
as at Riepetown where he made his
home while working at the Giroux. He
had left an order for his mail to be for.
warded to Eureka, but a fellow miner at
Riepetown has since received a number
Of letters addressed to the up canyon
town.
Smitt was 4S or 80 years Of age. in
dustrious and so far as known addicted
to no evil habits hat might account for
his disappearance. He had worked in
and around Eureka for a number of
years before coming here a year ago.
While employed at the Giroux he lived
alone in a cabin at Riepetown and it is
the fact that living alone and with no
n to note his coming and going that
has prevented those searching for him
from learning Of his actions or acquaint-
ing themselves with the exact date on
which he was last seen.
So far as can be learned the missing
man had no relatives other than a sister
living in the East. Her name. however,
is not known.

X. SMTTT IS MISSING
Well Known Eureka Mining Man
Believed to Have Been MUIR
dered and Robbed

Frank X. Smitt, q mining man well
known in this section. where he is
largely interested in mining properties
on Adams Hill. and ALEC owns a number
Of claims at Fish Greek Wells. about IS
miles southwest of Eureka, disappeared
from Riepetown, about nine miles west
Of Ely, White Pine County. over three
months ago, since which time no trace
Of him has been a~scertained. His friends
in that section now believe he is the
victim of foul play. 1t is learned that a
shot time before his disappearance he
hypothecated some Of his Adams Hill
Consolidated stock for $1,000, and dis
played the roll Of bills at Riepetown,
where he was calming alone while
working at the Giroux mine.
1t has been a well known fact for q
long time that some Of the worst charac-
ters in White Pine County infest that
place. He had stated that he was going
to Eureka to do assessment work ON his
properties here and made preparations
to do So 1t is thought by many that he
was followed out on the road, murder
ed, robbed and his body disposed of.
The Ely Expositor of November 6 gives
the following particulars regarding his
mysterious disappearance:
