WILL NOT PRESS HER CLAIM
MRS. MARY T. FIELD WILL LOOK
FOR ANOTHER HOUSE.
Says Too Much Racket Has Been
Raised About Controversy With
the Misses Overton

A treaty of peace was concluded today
in the Police Court between Mrs. Mary
Templeton Field and the Misses Overton.
whose controversy over possession OF
the house at 1913 l. street had agitated
that section of the city for the past
few days, the charge of taking property
without the consent of the owner.
filed against the former, being nolle
proSsed This action was taken
by the assistant corporation counsel. with
the understanding that Mrs. Field re-
frain from bothering the Misses Over
ton in the future.
Mrs. Field appeared in the Police Court
early this morning fanked by her at
torneys and ready to stand trial upon
the charge preferred by Miss Frances
Overton Saturday. Apparently the at
torneys were doing their utmost to per
suade the accused from pushing her
claims to the house and TO settle the
matter amicably. She was adamant for
some time. until an argument of evi-
IDENTIFY ciinching nature was presented
and she yielded.
Shortly after the beginning of court
negotiations were opened with the pros
ecuting attorney. and with the agreement
mentioned the latter consented to enter
mol: pros.
NO, we are not going to push the
claim to the house., declared Mrs. Fields
lawyer. The matter has gone far enough.
We secured a Withdrawal of prosecution
upon condition that Mrs Field will not
bother the Misses Overton in the future"
Yes, yes" remarked Mrs. Field. when
the peace negotiations were ended.
There has been too much racket about
ii all. l think I'll look for another
house..

FIGHTING FOR TERMINAL RATES


With the arrival Of Special Examiner
Lyon Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Reno Monday. the case OF the
Nevada Railroad Commission against
the Southern Pacific and the Nevada,
California Oregon Railroads was COM
meuced. The Railroad Commission is
p~etitioning for an intermediate terminal
rate for Reno aud much interest Is
manifested in the outcome.
Nevada is suing in this case to secure
a fair Rate for Reno. The shippers OF
Reno are now compelled to pay an
exorbitant rate for q back haul from
San Francisco or Sacramento. which is
not performed, aud what the merchants
Of Reno demand is an intermediate
terminal rate. Frank Mcclure, the ex.
pert who prepared the evidence for the
City Of Spokane in its hearing before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
has prepared the supplemental COM
plant in this case and he says that the
Nevada Railroad Commission, acting
for the people of Reno and indirectly
for all of Nevada, has a much better
case against the railroad company than
the City of Spokane had.

Coyotes Eat Ely Mans Body

Ely, Nevada. March ~. Several
days ago James Watson, y steam filter
of this city. left his home telling his
wife that he intended to go into the
business district of this city to talk to
a friend. Thursday morning his body
was found in q gulch leading to Muir
ray Canyon. nearly stripped of its
clothing and partly devoured by coyotes.
Marshall Hudgens has identified the
body and states that he believes Wat.
son came Il his death from exposure.
His face was badly disfigured by the
coyotes aud the only way he was iden.
titled was by means Of papers on his
person which Hudgens recognized as
belonging to him. The day before Wat
son disappeared from home he was
drugged in a local saloon and vas I'm.
conscious for several hours. 1t is be.
lieved that he was still under the in.
fuence Of the drug when he went into
the canyon and died. Much mystery
surrounds his case. His wife has given
birth to q child since Watson's body

Voted Their Convictions

The Independent says Senators
Hunter and Coryell of Elko are being
lambasted by the press for voting
against the guarantee deposit feature Of
the banking law. Some Of the papers
90 so far as to charge John Henderson
with cracking the whip over them, be-
cause they are debtors t, the bank.
This charge, we believe is false. as Sena-
tors Hunter and Coryell were not
pledged to vote for a guarantee deposit
banking law. They doubtless voted
their honest convictions on the bill,
irrespective Of Mr.. Henderson.
