The papers Of the district tell that
Young of Belcit is again q candidate
for congress in this district But IL is
not surprising as hardly an old time
politician but remember him as q can
didate about every race for something.
Ham announced himself in Topeka as a
candidate and the very next breath
out comes Young. But respectable
voters have not forgotten that only
two years ago these same two men
were in the race. They and their
friends got together over north and
Young pulled off and no one has an
idea that he pulled off for love or fun.
and are watching end expecting the
same thing to occur again before the
next Primary election and 9th district
fellows remember that at the conven-
tons 1t was expenses and-so-forth that
got some fellow to pull off during the
fight. But with this kind of dickerinp
are the honest voters to believe that if
either of these fellows happen to be
elected that they wouldn't dicker with
some OF the smart fellows in Washing
ton and do they want to elect such men?
If 1t was some true man like Judge
Smith running, voters might be induced
TO switch from Reeder, but with such
dickerers in the race there is no doubt
of Reeder's reelection. Again, both
Young ard Ham belong to the Populist
wing of the Republican party. They
would join with the democrats, like
Murdoch and Madison, to overthrow
the will of the majority of their party,
and honest republican voters don t take
much stock in that kind of politics
They are for Taft and Republication,
as expressed by majority of every
gathering carrying out the policies of
the party and not for the new Popu-
list insrrgeants. Young is a nice fell
low but his work shows that he is only
after the spoils, not the party honor.

FIGHTS TO RETAIN
NEVADA MONOPOLY
Western Unions Effort to Keep
Postal Telegraph Out of Ter
ritory Promises Contest
Legal Battle Centers on Invad-
ing Company's Attempt to Get
Right of Way for Poles
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


RENO, July 29.-It appears that the
fight of the Western Union telegraph
company against the invasion of its ter
ritory by the Postal telegraph com
pany will be one of the hardest fought
litigations in Nevada in recent years.
The case is that of the Postal tele-
graph company against the Southern
Pacific company for the condemnation
of right of way along their tracks
to place poles and string wires for a
telegraph service.
demurrer was filed today to the
complaint of the MacKay company. 1t
was argued that the Postal cable COM
pany was a foreign corporation and
did not show that it had complied with
the laws of Nevada concerning foreign
corporations.
1t was further eontended that the
petition for condemnation asks for a
ruling concerning lands not only in
Washoe, but in many other counties
and that the power Of the court did
not extend to lands in other counties.

do Is to play the first deal carefully.

play"
A wish to get even. coupled with
cupidity. made Maj. Skinner an easy
victim to the Turing proposition Of the
seemingly honest and persuasive Gle
land. It was arranged that the play
should be made that afternoon. The
major procured the necessary money
from the bank and once more sur.
prised the few players at the bank
when he entered and called for Ave
stacks of chips at $4,000 stack. He
followed the instructions OF ClelanA
to the letter. The first three cards
out of the box on the first deal were
king, eight, seven. He played with
care and caution through that deal and
the next with about even luck. When
II came time to make the final coup
he remembered that he was to copper
the seven. play the eight to win and
al
to Cleland's instruction. So far he
was $1,000 winner and without mo-
ment's hesitation he placed $4,000 on
the seven coppered to lose. A fke
amount was placed upon the eight TO
win. The odds against the call was
four to one and he called the turn for
$1,000, confident that he was about to
win q small fortune.
There was a moment OF breathless
silence. The other players had for
gotten their own bets in watching the
high play of the mining man. Then
Cleland deait--not seven-eight. az the
arrangement called for, but eight
seven, as Cleland had intended Il
should be.
Mai. Skinner was almost faintins
az he saw his money fade away and
noted saturnine smile pass across
the features of the dealer. Then he
awoke to the realization that he had
played the old sucker game Of taking
the best Of It" In . card game. He
could do nothing. Any attempt he
might make at redress through the
law would show him UP o. having
conspired with the dealer to win the
backsr's money. He arose. wiped his
psrspiring brow and stalked from the
room without bidding the others good
day.

"Yes, and all the money you spent
was what somebody sent in for stock.
There was not cent of your own

the major, with q grim smile. "You

The mining mans office, but block
away, was reached In a moment and
he returned at once with huge stock
book and the necessary papers to
transfer the Shawlneck Mining Com
pany.
.And where will we play this little
gamer" he asked when he had re-
turned.
"Oh, I forgot to mention It to you,
but I'm backing faro bank right
here In the hotel" replied Floyd. "As
told you before. I'm always ready
to take q chance and there seemed to
b. enough play around here to open

stayed out and he raked down the
pot. Again the chiDa Diled to the

when the next pot was started. The
deal passed until there was $4,000 in

Maj. Skinner showed the remainder
Of his stack to the center. Floyd
seemed to hesitate for moment and
followed suit. The major smiled as
he announced that he did not care to

Two days after Maj. Skinner had
lost control of the Shawlneck Mining
Company in brief game of cards. he
was surprised to see Jack Cleland
walk into his ONCE. While Gliding
himself at being beaten In q game at
which he prided himself to be an ex-
pert, he laid his loss to bad luck and
took it in fairly good part. He was
therefore surprised when Cleland an
nounced to him that Floyd had
