INSPECTOR VISITS SCHOOLS
University Professor Finds Con.
dition Here Favorable and
Approves Work Done

Professor J. g. Scrugham Of the En.
cheering Department. Of the Nevada
University arrived in Eureka Thursday
from Reno on . tout Of inspection Of
the High Schools Of the State. He
spent some time in each department Of
the public schools. but gave most OF his
attention to the work Of the High
School, going carefully into the details
Of the course Of study that 10 being pur-
sued and the extent Of the work that
has been done. The courses in history,
mathematics. aud Latin met with full
approval. bat the English courses are a
little short of the requirements. Sci
ence is wholly lacking in the Eureka
High School on account Of there having
been but one teacher during the greater
part Of the past two years.
As a result Of this investigation. the
graduates of the Eureka High School
will, upon the recommendation OF the
Principal. be given credit by Nevada
University for all the work that has
been done, and will be admitted to the
regular courses in the University with.
out further examination in the subjects
taught here. An opportunity will be
given at Reno to work off the science
courses.
Professor Scrugham gave an Illus
trated talk on the development of
the Nevada University at the school
house in the evening. and a large mum
Der of the patrons and pupils Of the
school were in attendance. The views
of the campus and buildings Of the
University are exceptionally fine. and
show a remarkable improvement in this
Institution from this standpoint. while
the description of the work that is being
done indicated that the intellectual
development is keeping pace with the
exterior growth.

NEW DUCKWETER WATER SUIT
Louisa Irwin Asks Injunction
Restricting Joe Tognoni's Use
Of Duckwater Springs

An injunction suit was commenced
in the Nye County District Court last
week by Mrs. Louisa Irwin against Joe
Tognoni. and the following regarding
the case Is TAX en- from the Tonopah Sun
of May % and 80:
The old Duck water water Ease came
up last evening in the District Court In
q suit of.Louisa Irwin versus Joe Tognoni
and others. The plaintiff seeks I o re-
strict the use of water by the defendants.
Twenty-six years ago. this trouble
began and was finally adjudicated.
About six years ago Tognoni settled
there and began to reclaim. some desert
land. when a supplementary order was
issued by Judge Jones allowing the use
of q certain amount Of water on certain
days.
About that time the shooting scrape
took place between Tognoni and some
OF the Twins, in which William Mendes
received Q rifle bullet through his right
foot. Toenoni was tried aud acquitted
before Judge Breen at Eureka.
The injunction suit Of Irwin vs.
Tognoni will come mp again this evening
In the District Court before Judge
Averill. The object of this suit is
to restrain Joseph Tognoni from using
$50 inches Of water which he was
granted several years ago by the State
Eugineer.
Tognoni claims that the Irwins are
acting as cats paws for W. +. Mendes,
a brother.in-law Of his with whom he
has been at outs for several years.
He states that he went to Duckwater
in 1881 before he could speak good
Eoglish and then noticed that an
immense amount Of water from the
Irwin grant was running to waste.
Some years ago he applied for a portion
of the overflow. and when it was
advertised a soluminous protest was
filed. This caused the State Engineer
to visit the place, and then he made the
grant over the protests. When it came
up to the Governor he hesitated on
ccoun of the lengthy protests, but
was convinced by the State Engineer
that the grant should be approved.
The claim of the Irwins is that Tog.
noni's grant interferes with theirs, but
he says such is not the case and water
il still going to waste. He irrigates 240
acres and has al and more than he needs.

an ideal one for baseball. being warm
aud pleasant. The field was rather
slow for good playing. being soft and
sandy. which occasioned many error
on both sides.
Eureka's battery played q good. steady
game throughout, and were supported
In q creditable manner. With . little
more practice Eureka ought to turn out
q pretty good team.
Both teams played . little ragged ct
times. aud most Of Eureka's runs were
gained by Palisades errors. The latter
club Is said to have been short several
of its best players. which no doubt &C.
counts for the poor showing made. But
the Palissde boys are gritty and have
asked for . return game or their
grounds in two weeks, when they hope
to present q much stronger club. The
acceptance of the invitation to 60 to
Palisade has not been decided upon as
yet by the Eureka club.
The score was Eureka 81, Palisade 2.
