GREAT RUIN WROUGHT
BY NEVADA CLOUDBURST
Belief Now Expressed That No
Life Was Lost

RAWHIDE, New, Sept. 1t is be-
lieved that the cloudburst, which de-
stroyed more than 100 houses in Squat
.tertown south of camp last night, did
not result in any loss of life, although
the piles of wreckage strewn, along
the course of the flood may conceal the
remains of an unknown victim
Mrs. Maskrey and Mrs. Satterlee,
with the latter's two children, who
were reported missing last night were
found today uninjured by the flood
The property damage is estimated at
100000. and the Proskey mining COM
pany, with a loss of $4,000, is the
heaviest loser. The entire equipment
at the mine was destroyed and the
shaft filled to the collar with water.
The owners say that shipment of
high grade ore was carried away and
not be recovered.
Below the town a supply of lumber
and tools, valued at $4,000. was carried
away.
The automobile road between Raw
hide and Shurz, the railroad point, was
washed out for seven miles, and an ex-
penditure of $4,000 will be required to
reconstruct it.

SUIT AGAINST CITY IS
LOST BY CONTRACT
Appellate Court Sustains Judge
.Seawell's Findings

The appellate court yesterday af-
firmed the decision of Judge Seawell
in turning down the petition of f.
Figone, garbage man. to prevent F.
Repetti a successful rival, from draw
ing $3.50 a month from the. school de-
partment.
Figone formerly had the job of re-
moving the schooliiouse garbage, but
his prices and manner of work did not
please the board of education Bids
were called for, and Repetti got the
contract. Figoni then sued the city.
alleging that Repetti is not a citizen
of this country, as the charter provides
all employees must be.
The superior and appellate courts
both hold that contractor is not an
employe, and also that corporations
may enter into city contracts under
the charter, and corporations can not
be citizens.
The suit was directed against Audi
tor Roster and Treasurer McDouga1d.
