MANHATTAN MAN.
ARRIVES WITH
A Big NUGGET
BRINGS WITH HIM THE LARGE
NUGGET FROM THE GIFFEN
LEASE.

Charles Evans of Manhattan was
an arrival in Tonopah yesterday from
Manhattan on his way to Glendale.
Mr.. Evans brought with him the
large nugget found on the Giffen
placer lease on the. Verde claim in
the Manhattan district. The beauti-
full specimen weighs nearly one
pound, and attracted no end of at
tention.
Mr.. Evans stated that he was un-
der bond to Mr. Giffen for the safe
return of the nugget. He intends to
take it to Goldfield after his return
from Glendale, which will be prob
ably today.
Many who saw the handsome mug
get stated that it is too bad that the
same is not sent to the Alaska Yukon
exposition in charge of Mr.. Giffen or
some reputable person. Its presence
there would have the effect OF at
tracing to this section no end of at
tention. There are at Seattle any
number of placer mining men from
the frozen north and It is safe to say
that the Manhattan nugget would
appeal strongly to them with the ef-
feet that capital would be attracted
hither

jerks IS GIVEN
VERDICT IN FULL
AGAINST BANK
JURY AWARDS PLAINTIFF JUDG-
MENT FOR THE FULL
AMOUNT SUED FOR.

At 4:20 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the case of jerks VS.. the Nye
and Ormsby County bank went to the
jury for determination. At $3.50
O'Clock last evening the jury returned
verdict for the plaintiff in the full
amount sued for and interest to date,
footing up the sum OF $3,404.83.
The case had been before the court
for number of days and was char
acterized by as spectacular a legal
battle as has been seen here in
long time. With P. M. Bowler, Judge
Dennis and ]. H. Morris handling the
case for the plaintiff and Hugh
Brown and William Pittman looking
after the interests of the bank, there
was pitted against one another as
able an array of legal talent as there
is within the confines of the state.
Mr.. Bowler's caustic denunication
of banking conditions that would ad-
nit of such matter reaching the
courts was quite the talk of the town
yesterday. The reply of Mr.. Brown
was masterpiece in word-painting,
while the part taken by the others of
counsel was noteworthy for it's bril-
liancy. The verdict gives general
satisfaction

SAVED FROM A TER
RIBLE DEATH.

EUREKA, June 26. Charles
Pine, donkey fireman, and Charles
Breeding, a donkey engineer, and

employed as woodsmen, were killed
this afternoon when logging train

heavily loaded, left the rails on a
sharp curve at the bottom of an

General Manager Thomas Atkinson
jumped from the cab and escaped in

down grade at terrific rate. The
accident was due to slippery condi-
tion of the rails caused by heavy
fog. The place where the engine left
the rails is $50 feet from the Eel

REFUSES LARGE OFFER FOR
REAL ESTATE AT ELLENDALF

Clarence Whitman, one of the best
known chefs in southern Nevada, yes
terday refused a handsome offer for
his realty holdings in the new camp
of Glendale. Mr. Whitman was one
of the first to get in on Glendale
lots and since that time has had a
number of offers made to him for
the ground in his possession. How
ever, his confidence in the new camp
has caused him to turn a deaf ear
to all overtures Yesterdays offer
was in an amount representing a
profit of nearly $50 per cent upon his
investment, but he concluded to
await further developments at Ell
lendale before parting with his hold
ings there.

(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, June 26.-When
the senate adjourned this afternoon
there was still number of import
ant rates to be determined. Among
the more important questions that
received attention were agricultural
implements, wood pulp, cash regis
ters, photographic plates, laces and
jute yarns
Probably the most exciting incident
of the date was the vote on Bever-
idges amendment, reducing from 80
to 15 per cent advalorem duty on
cash registers. The vote resulted in
81 ayes and 33 noes. Bacon's mo-
ton to place agricultural implements
on the free list was rejected by a
vote of 26 to As The amendment
offered by Davis, placing lumber on
the free list, in face of the protest
from Aldrich, was lost by vote of
1S to 81.

1t is hardly probable that Bobbie

This weeks issue of the Ellendale

cerning the new, camp of Glendale.
The Lode is the pioneer paper of the
Ellendale district and does credit to
the camp whose virtues it is lauding.
The paper, which is owned by w. H.
Fording and Kenneth j. Booth, is
certainly doing the Glendale district
splendid service. Judging by it's
well filled advertising columns the

TO LOCATE THE COURT.

Several years ago a bill was passed
by the legislature, providing for terms
Of the supreme court at Grand Forks,
Fargo and Bismarck The bill was Sup
ported by number of attorneys, who
thought to have the court go to the
attorneys rather than have the attor-
neys come to the court. 1t was sup
ported by local sentiment in the towns
Mterested who thought that for reasons
Of business a term of court you'd be a
3ignaIed and profitable thing. and that
she public business of the court should
not be confined to the capital
" Senator LaMoure's bill to change this
order of things, have the regular terms
Of the court held at the capitol, with
special terms as such other cities and
at such times as the court may desig-
nate. This is in line with good public
policy and, it is believed, with the de-
.ires and best: interests of the court.
We shall soon have, a court OF FIVE
ridges, occupying chambers at the cap
nol, accustomed to their surroundings
and environments, with the only COM
[plete law library in the state accessi-
/ Bile, and with all the past records and
documents Of the court near at hand.
IT would seem that, without argument;
This. is the proper place to. hold terms

PUBLIC SENTIMENT RULES.

From Washington advices it is evil
dent that there will be no change in the
rules of the house of representatives
and that Uncle Joe Cannon will be sus-
tanned. The necessity for some such
cloture rules as now exist is now rec
egnized. In speaking of the contro-
sersy the Washington Star says:
It was, public opinion operating
through experienced and resourceful
congressional representatives, which
forced the adoption of the present
; rules. Criticism of the old rules by
men of the grade of and led by Thomas
b. Reed had made it plain that a change
for the public interests was necessary
if the house was to do business in a
satisfactory manner.
4 And the situation forced the ISSUE
The. Fifty-frst congress was to revise
the tariff, and the house majority was
only about fifteen. This margin was so
narrow that unless the Republicans
made themselves superior by the aid of
new rules to the distractions they would
be helpless.
This was the task Mr.. Reed set for
himself. He determined that the ma
iority, which was responsible for bust
ness, should do business, and with that
end in view he put the filibusters out of
business. He raised great storm. For
weeks the house was very like bear
garden, and on one occasion it looked
as if the speaker might be attacked
physically in the chair. ~ But he was
strong, both in the common sense of
his, contention, and in the support of
his party. The Republicans backed him
to the hilt, and he won.
So, now If public opinion is be-
hind this demand for change, and the
party responsible for business in the
house is ready to voice the demand, a
change will be made. The house has
the power at all times to proceed in its
own way. It never has been, and never
can be, throttled by the speaker and a
lew of his lieutenants.s To represent
the speaker as the master of the house
IS to disparage the house, and bclittle |
the popular branch of the lawmaking
power of the government .. |
