STAFFORD LOSES SUIT
Jury Denies Him Damages Against
Republic Iron & Steel Company.


Queintein c. STAFFORD of Moline
lost his damage suit against the Re-
public Iron &c Steel company yes
terday afternoon when the jury
which had heard the evidence brought
in a verdict of not guilty Mr. STRAIT
ford sought to recover the sum of
$4,000 which he alleged was due him
as the result Of the less of the SER
vices of his son, who was injured in
an accident at the steel mill and in
capacitated for work. The son had
already won a suit for $4,000 from
the mill and this fact probably in
fuenced the jury in deciding that
the corporation had paid enough for
the accident. w. r, moore repre-
sented the plaintiff in the case and
the corporation was represented by
Attorneys Peek and Dietz of Moline.

NO MALICE IN HIS HEART
Willing to Abide by Public Verdict
After He Has Had Chance to
Prove His Claims.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct 29.-At the
conclusion OF his lecture on the find
ing of the north pole last night, DR..
Frederick A. Cook took up briefly the
controversy regarding his ascent Of
Mount Mckinley. He said:
Satisfied that the people of Mon
tana believe in justice and fair play,
I have come into your commonwealth,
not to seek revenge, not to enter into
controversy with men in whom
only had every confidence, but to ask
for a fair deal. There is no malice in
my heart. l am not here to invoke
the strong arm of the law. My veraci-
ty has been attacked by men residing
in this community. They have fallen
into evil hands and the temptation
was too great. They have sold their
birthright for silver, and there prob
ably was more than 80 pieces.
81 am here to give my version of
the Mount Mckinley controversy and
then leave my case In the hands of an
honest body-the people of the great
state of Montana 1 will accept their
verdict.
Says Glory Is His
cat the time of my arrival in New
York, after two years and three months
In the arctic regions, and when all
America was rejoicing over the double
discovery of the north pole, there be-
gan a warfare to rob me of the glory
Of an achievement which is rightly
mine. Confident that my rival had tri-
umphed after nearly a quarter of
century in quest of the great unknown,
I, with all good Americans, rejoiced IN
his success and in Copenhagen de-
cared there was glory enough for two
Despite Ihe bitter attacks which have
been made upon me, my attitude in
this respect Is unchanged.
when this warfare failed. the en-
envy began this flank movement on tho
climb of Mount Mckinley; men with
money to burn IN the fame of infamy
entered the arena. Men of this com
munity whom l had previously beliey-
ed honest fell as victims. Their state
ments were absolutely untrue. Still l
nurse no spirit of revenge or malice
against the misguided men. My eoun-

CHOICE LINE OF VEGETABLES
RECEIVED At THE SOUTH
ERN NEVADA MER. co.

One of the neatest displays in the
grocery line can be observed at the
Southern Nevada Mercantile com
pany. The interior of the store
also contains a vegetable display,
and both are the work of Manager
Dick Keeper. The line of vege-
tables carried by this concern con
sists of every garden truck article
that can be secured and the dis
play is so arranged in tiers that it
requires but minute to make your
choice.
The vegetables are received daily
by express, which insures that all
the goods are fresh. One of the
windows contains a wine and liquor
display, over 40 different grades of
wine being on exhibition. AS the
thrifty housewives have started to
make preparations for the Christmas
dinners, it would pay all to inspect
the displays at the Southern Ne
vada before making the necessary
purchases. Do not wait until the
last minute when the clerks are
overworked and deliveries may be
delayed a few hours. but place your
order at once and have the goods
on time.

RENO ELKS WIN IN
THE FIRST ROUND

The proceedings at Reno several
days ago, instituted against the
Elks lodge for refusing to pay a
liquor license, assumed a farcial as
neet when brought UP for trial.
The city attorney. who prosecuted
the case, insisted that every witness
be fined for contempt of court for
refusing TO answer discriminating
questions. This was done in ono
instance. but when the Judge got
his second breath he RENTED the
fine. When 1t was finally shown to
the satisfaction of the court thst
the bar in the Elks home was not
conducted for profit, the case was
dismissed.

THREE PERSONS
Sc ,URE WARRANTS
FOR EACH OTHER
TANGLED CASE is SETTLED
SATISFACTORILY IN JUS
TICE COURT

A rather complicated case was
called in the justice court yesterday
and after a brief, but interesting,
lecture by the court, was dismissed.
The proceedings started several
days ago when NJ. d. Madden, of
the Manhattan hotel was arrested
on a warrant sworn to by George
Moore, charging assault and battery.
Madden then filed a complaint Of
disturbing the peace against A.
F'ritsch, who was arrested. Fritsch
turned around and had Madden ar
rested the second time, charging as
sault Madden then wanted Moore
placed under bonds to keep the
peace. The tangle was becoming
somewhat interesting and had the
trial been postponed a few days
longer, there is no telling what
might have happened. After a
short conference in the court yester-
day all the complaining parties de-
cided to withdraw their suits and
the difficulties were amicably set
tied.
