but it failed to come, leaving us up 4

enjoyable time OF it, and that they
are truly thankful to Messrs. Tate

show them over their works, and the

We are glad to say that Geo. Ide's

Dr.. Well, in addition to being an

S26.77, which he had beguiled a
meat market man out Of for one small
sheep, and calf so young we are
ashamed 10 say how young. No
wonder the DR.. is enthusiastic over
the farmers lot. When man can
get whole lot OF money for almos,
nothing, as in the above case, it beats
''money from home" We don'l
suppose these animals cost the DR.. a

and his chances for recovery are
good.
The loss is estimated at $4,000,
with $4,000 insurance.
The hotel was constructed at a
cost of about $4,000 and the fur
nishings are valued at about $4,000.
This was insured for $4,000. 1t was
owned by Neil Mclean of Tonopah,
who short time ago moved here
with his family.
The bar was owned by p H. Sand
lin and the goods and fixtures were
valued at $4,000, with $4,000 insur-
ance. Mr.. Sandlin recently purchas-
ed the interest of Dave Holland, who
was half owner in the business.
The origin of the confagration re-
mains mystery, but it is thought to
have been caused by defective wir-
ing. The house was electric lighted
throughout.
The building was completed a lit
tie over two years ago and was
thrown open to the public amid one
of the greatest scenes of gaiety ever
witnessed in this town.
There will be no discomforts suf-
fered by those who roomed at the
hotel as accommodations have been
found for all. The majority of the
guests lost all their personal belong
ings and a number escaped in their
night clothes. The high wind aided
the fire and but for this the hostelry
migt have been saved.

CLASH OVER CUSTODY
NYE AND ORMSBY BANK
Receivers Appointed by the Court Ig-
more Command of State Bank Com
mission who Desire to Place c. H.
Phillips in Charge of Bank.

matters relating thereto | hereby
make demand upon you that you sur
render into my custody and control
all property and effects of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank, including
all real, personal and mixed property,
now in your custody or under your
control.
Dated, Tonopah, Nevada. this
18th day of March, 1909.
Respectfully,
&C. H. Phillips
The receivers upon receipts of the
order refused to turn over the prop
erty and effects of the bank to Mr.
Phillips and are still in control of the
institution and state they will remain
there until excused by the court that
appointed them.
A warrant was issued several days
ago for Frank Golden, who is cited to
appear to show cause why he should
not be charged with contempt of
court.
This was served on Mr.. Golden last
night at Carson. There is also a prob
ability that a contempt charge will
be placed against T. r. Hofer, the
bank examiner, for attempting to in
terfere with the duties of the bank
receivers. Mr.. Phillips has already
been found guilty of contempt for re-
fusing to turn over the combination
of the vaults, but the sentence has
been postponed.
What action the bank commission
will take now is problematical, but it
is thought that they will endeavor to
have their orders carried out, which
will result in the attorney general
taking action for them in one of the
district courts in this state.
A prominent attorney of this city
last evening stated it was his opinion
that the bank commission was evil
IDENTIFY pursuing the same tactics they
did when they were confronted with
the State Bank failure. That is to
practically throw the handling of the
bank back into Mr.. Golden's hands.
He further stated that as all the row
has been caused by Golden it is evil
dent that he is afraid to have the
receivers proceed with their investi-
cation and is doing all in his power
to delay them.

A BAD DAY FOR JOHNS
AT THAT.

The Johns had an off day yester-
day in the police court as did the
Jims of the day before and the
Georges on Monday. Two men, who
both confessed to the name of John
Doe appeared before Judge Atkinson.
One was white and the other black,
but with the similarity of the names
neither would acknowledge a rela-
tionship. Both were up on a vag
charge and told their past history to
the court. John Doe (white) was
given twenty-four hours in the coun-
ty jail. while John Doe (blsck) was
turned loose as his arrest was a case

That a clash is eminent between
the district court and the receivers of
the Nye and Ormsby County bank on
one side and on the other the state
board of bank commissioners and the
bank examiner was revealed yester-
day when Bank Examiner T. R. Ho-
fer, acting under instructions of the
bank commission, telegraphed c. D.
Phillips, former cashier of the closed
institution, to take full charge of the
affairs of the bank in this city.
In conformity with the telegram
Mr.. Phillips served the following no.
tice upon the receivers appointed by
Judge M. r. Averill in the fifth ju-
dicial court:
ITO John J. Mullin and Gilbert c.
Ross, acting as receivers under an
order of the fifth judicial district
court of the state of Nevada, in a
matter entitled In the matter of
the application for the dissolution
of the Nye and Ormsby County

pointment of a receiver thereof to
