TRIAL OF FORD
Will Be TAKEN
UP NEXT week

Judge NJ. r. Averill of the dis
trict court will be absent several
days at Duckwater making per-
sonal investigation of conditions
there concerning the dispute which
is being aired in his court in re-
gard to certain water rights on
Duckwater creek.
The court will reconvene Monday
morning next. One of the cases to
come up next week, and to which
great deal of importances at
taches, is one in which w! F. Ford,
of Berkeley, California, formerly of
Tonopah, will have to face the
charge of embezzlement.
Ford is now out on bonds. He
was indicted by the grand jury of
Nye county the latter part OF April
last, charged with receiving moneys
from certain persons as attorneys
fees without rendering service there
for.
He represented an Indian known
as Peavine Johnny and another,
who were partners in the Clifford
property which has become the
property of J. G. Mccormack. The
Indian was the original locator of
the property. 1t is alleged that
when the holdings changed hands,
Peavine Johnny was not given his
share. He began suit for the re-
covery of his share, which before it
came to trial was compromised. The
money which was to have been
given the Indian is alleged to have
been placed in the hands of Ford,
who was the attorney for the other
parties. He is said to have pocket
ed the money. 1t is in connection
with this transaction that Ford will
have to face jury.
Ford is a brother of TREY L.
Ford of San Francisco, who has
figured quite prominently in the
graft cases which have been going
on in San Francisco for some time.
After leaving Tonopah and before
his actions had come to the knowl-
edge of the Indian and the others
concerned in the negotiations, Ford
went to California. taking up his
residence in Berkeley. A warrant
was issued for his arrest. which was
served upon the man in California.
Ford did not wave the usual legal
requirements necessary In the extra
dition of a person from one state to
another, but. on the other hand
bitterly fought his return to this
state, However. he was unsuccess-
ful In his fight and was brought "a
Tonopah to plead to the charge
lodged against him. lie was re-
leased upon bonds.

A Scene FROM
LIFE in THE
JUSTICE court

He was rather a we'll dressed
man of about two score and five.
He had been arrested on a charge
of yagrancy.' Anyone could see by
his looks and his actions that he
was knight of the pipe. For sure,
as he gazed about the room where
Judge Atkinson holds forth in the
temple of justice, he imagined that
he was the smokeless powder kid.
He said his name was Brown, but
those present believed that he got
his name and his taste mixed up.
What do you do for a living"
quoth his honor.
Il am gambler" was the
answer of Brown, as he swelled out
his chest which showed no abnorm-
al signs of expansion.
A gambler, Ell? Where do you
work."
Brown stammered. AS matter
of fact he wasn't working. "You
see, your honor, am what they
call an outside gambler; one that
works on the outside"
twenty-five days." said the
Judge. "See how you can do on the
inside"

SHOSHONE CREEK
IS NOW SAID To
HAVE GONE DRY

General Manager Cy johnson of
the Solid Gold Mining and Leasing
company, whose properties are To-
Gated on Daisy hill at Round Noun
tain, was called to that camp yes
terday upon Geographic advices to
the effect that Shoshone creek had
gone dry, thus necessitating CON-
plete close down in milling opera
lions there.
So far as known this is the first
time in the history of that section
so far as anyone is able to learn
that the supply of water in the
creek has given out. Mr. Johnson
has but recently finished the install
lation of 1000 feet of pipe from the
creek to his Gold Quartz mill, which
was started upon ore from the prop
erty Thursday last.
Mr.. Johnson stated just previous
to his departure that the shortage
of water would have it's effect upon
the town of Round Mountain The
nearest water supply, outside of
Shoshone creek, is Jefferson canyon,
some six miles distant There are
a few wells in the camp, but they
have been practically abandoned
and it will take few days to put
the same in shape so as to be able
to use the water.
Mr.. Johnson had but returned
from Round Mountain when he re-
ceived the very discouraging news.
He had been in camp for several
days watching operations in the
new mill. A considerable quantity
of ore is in the bins awaiting treat
ment, consequently the forced shut
down works quite hardship.

several items of an amusing and TAX
ing character, such as drills, marching
etc, In fact everything that usually

There are few people in Fargo who
have any idea Of the pressing need Of
a more adequate charity organization
In this city" said Rev. o. f. Nc
Cracken. superintendent OF the tenn
porary Fargo charities today.
while at the present time we have
an organization and name, that is
about all chat we do have, and al
though we are continually finding
cases of distress we are handicapped
by the absolute lack OF funds with
which TO do any relief work.
1T will probably come as shock to
great many Fargo people to know
that there have been fve cases Of
desertion by faithless husbands in this
city in the past week / was Just noti-
fed this morning OF such a case at
the Great Northern station. A woman
with four little ones had been de-
serted and was there, entirely friend
less and alone. Whether this woman
is to blame or not, which is highly
improbable and whether she Is
proper charge on Cass county or not.
she and her little ones cannot be left
TO starve.
These cases have all been reported
to me, but what can / do. There is
no money with which to offer even
temporary relief and when such a
case came TO my attention all that 1
can do is to hustle around and get
iberal-hearted citizens to come for
ward with relief. This is a work
which should be participated In by
every citizen and not thrown contlnu-
ally on the two or three who will al
ways respond.
There is a case of three little boyE
who were left motherless this sum-
mer. They live on the south side.
Those boys have been living almost
entirely on raw vegetables that they
dig out OF the garden for several
months. Their father is a carpenter,
earning good money but he spends
It all In Moorhead. The boys have
not had bath or a change OF cloth
ing in weeks and neighbors are con-
tinually phoning to me about their
condition.
Il understand that they have rich
relatives In the east and I am cor
responding with them in the hope of
getting relief Here again I am handi-
capped for lack of funds, but mors
than that because OF the lack OF
systematic organization which would
go at the matter OF caring for those
boys in the right way"
