l not there and cannot l give testi-
mony? The impression is also given
that | desired to cross Ryan's wheat
field; such is not the case, as can be
proven by my conversation with Mr..
Neuner prior to the shooting. l told
him l could get home by following the
lane. 1 did not claim the right to cross
the field, but if others were using it, I
had the right to do the same, and pay
damages in case any were demanded.
"One Of the papers also stated my
home could be reached by travelling
not the case. for there is not a main
road within four miles of my place,
and the only way l could have reached
home was by using the lane. Ryan was
not at the gate leading to the field
in which his house is located, and was
pointing the gun toward me. 1 was
then three or four rods from the gate
to the field through which the papers
say de sired to drive. 1 only wanted to
follow the lane, but as Ryan forbade
me to continue, and 1 could not turn
the team in the narrow passageway, l
could neither advance nor retreat.
"As Ryan ordered me to stop, one
of my horses became frightened, and
7 Jumped from the. hack, held the
horse by the bride and said to the
gun man: What are you trying to do
Mike-scare my horses?' and he
answered and opened the gate leading
into the lane, came into the lane asked
me to come up so he could show me
that the lane was mostly of his own
land, according to a rock Which ne
pointed out to me. He took out rule
and proved by actual measurement
that the neighbor had only given four
feet to the lane; then he denied me
the privilege of travelling any further
on the lane.
Il could not turn the team around,
so was held up there-could neither
go ahead nor go back L did not insist
nor intend to cross the wheat field as
my load was not a heavy one-l2
sacks of chop in a hack-and l could
have reached my hime over the hill II
he had not denied me the privilege OF
using the lane Owing to this fact,
however, it was utterly impossible to
get to my home at all. AS / walked to
my house, after tying the team, to get
Dickson, found the lane barricaded
with two posts and cross piece, leav
ing a space only few feet wide.
When Dickson and myself returned,
the team was not there where I had
left it, and Ryan was not in sight.

Ryan bears toward Schubert dates back
about seven years. Eight years ago Mr..

owns, and a year later Ryan instituted
contest proceedings, though was un-

IHERIDAN JURY
Being SECURED
At GOLDFIELD
ELEVEN MEN PASSED LAST
NIGHT SUBJECT TO
CHALLENGE

Jack Sheridan, charged with the
murder of his wife several months
ago, is on trial at Goldfeld.
Term after term the case has
been delayed until both sides are
prepared for the struggle, and with
in a week his fate will rest with
a jury of twelve men pledged to a
fair and impartial consideration of
the evidence.
When the case was called Monday
morning there was little delay, and
from the beginning it became appar-
ent that one of the hardest and
most critical struggles would be
witnessed.
District Attorney Tilden and Dep
uty Leichti opposed Attorneys Pat
McCarran and T. V. Eddy, and the
fight from the start brought into
play all the acumen of the attor-
neys in the examination of talesmen
in regard to their qualifications to
serve as jurors in the present case.
Each talesman underwent exam
ination which sometimes lasted 80
minutes by each side.
During the examination of the
different jurors the defendant, pale
and somewhat haggard, sat near his
counsel and Dan Ryan, his brother
in-law, closely studying the faces OF
the talesmen, and intent upon their
answers.
The ordinary questions pertain
ing to the talesmen having previous
ly formed an opinion, made up the
preliminary examination, but later
it developed that religious and fra
ternal feeling would be considered
When the court adjourned last
night, eleven men sat within the
, confines of the jury box, having
been accepted subject to a peremp
tory challenge. Counsel for botl
sides stated that they expect to Sc
cure jury by tomorrow evening
and the case proper will be started
with the converting of the court OF

ELEVENS TO PLAY
THANKSGIVING
WILL BE THE FIRST FOOTBALL
GAME TO BE PLAYED IN
TONOPAH

Everything is in readiness for the
football game Thanksgiving after
noon between the teams from the
Tonopah and Goldfield high schools.
The aggregation from the southern
city will arrive at noon in automo-
biles and promptly at o'clock the
game will start. From the manner
in which the local players have been
practicing, it looks as if the visit
ing team will be on the short end
of the score at the finish. The To-
nopah boys are bound to wipe out
the stain of the last defeat and will
exert themselves in lowering the
standard of Goldfield Coach Stotes-
bury stated last evening that the
team was in far better shape now
than it was two weeks ago, and is
certain of victory.
This will be the first game of
football ever played in Tonopah and
will draw out large crowd of for
mer college players and rooters
The game will be played on the
baseball diamond, which has been
surveyed for the occasion.
