WESTERN PACIFIC
SECURES INJUNCTION

c. r. Webster, who is famed for
the litigation in which he has been
concerned for several years with the
Southern Pacific and Western Pa
cific companies, is again defendant
in suit brought against him by
the latter named company, this time
in the United States court.
Monday night Webster was served
with the papers in the case by Dep
uty Marshal Goode. The manner of
service was somewhat unusual, be-
ing made in a saloon where the Of
ficer found Webster. The latter re-
fused in emphatic language to ac-
cept the service, so the officer had
nothing to do but throw the papers
on the floor at Webster's feet, the
documents remaining there until re-
moved the next morning by the por-
ter But the service, though some
what informal, is none the less
binding according to law, and Web
ster is thereby cited to appear in
the United States court at Carson
on December 5 to show cause why
a temporary injunction secured
Sainst him by the Western Pacific
should not be continued in force
until January 2, 1911, the date set
for hearing the case on it's merits
The case is another one involv-
ing the water right at Hot Springs,
fifteen miles east of Gerlach. The
Western Pacific lost in similar
suit tried several months ago in the
district court and the injunction
was dissolved after having been in
force several months.
Instead of appealing the case to
the state supreme court, the COM
pany has taken the case into the
United States court. Webster con.
tends that he has a right to use the
Hot Springs water and the Western
Pacific also wants it and has been
using it during the time it's injunc-
ton was in force. Webster is will
ling to sell the water right to the
railroad company, but the latter
Will not buy it and is endeavorine
to secure right thereto through
the courts, so far with i'll success.
Webster declares he will fight the
case through to the bitter end and
has won the first skirmish in the
state court.

"RENO REVERIES" is
WORTH THE PRICE

Reno Reveries"> is the sapient
title of a book of cleverness con-
corning the divorce situation in
Reno, written by Leslie Curtis, a
Reno writer whose contributions to
the gayety of nations through the
medium of tuneful verse and mild
satirical prose, have already won
for him considerable distinction.
The booklet consists of thirty
three pages of vers de societe min
gled with playlet. of local color
and some fiction. 1t is eminently
readable and holds a meaning in
every line that is not always re-
vealed to the casual reader, but to
the colony" there is sufficient of
reminiscent touch to make the book
sought for that alone.
Many of the divorces, past and
present, who were. known in Reno
are given specific mention and the
book is much different from the or
binary treatise on the Reno situa-
ton because there are few hard
knocks or slams.

who partook of the Thanksgiving
fowl wisely but net well. The man

every Tonopah home had a turkey
dinner, and few of the ambitious
bachelors so arranged their invita-
lions that they could attend at least
two dinners.
In the downtown district the bus

toms was Tom and Jerry, but the
weather was not cold enough and
the cheer was distributed straight.

OAkLANOERS
BUILD A GREAT
AEROPLANE
HOPE TO REVOLUTIONIZE MOD

BIG CLOUD SHIP

The first exhibition OF one of the
finest and largest aeroplanes that
has been constructed by Oakland
men, and which by the claims of
the builders, will revolutionize
aerial navigation of the present day,
will be held soon at Idora Park.
Robert w. Stewart, designer Of
the ship, has spent eight years in
formulating the plans for this ma
chine, which he hopes will make
aerial navigation as safe as walking
along the street. The engine is of
the four-cylinder type and has been
designed and built by L. NJ. Mac
Dermott of 1907 Eighth street.
The planes of the ship will meas
ure 35 feet inches from tip to tip
while from the front to the rea- it
will measure 20 feet. All complete
with the engine installed and the
aviator in his carriage it will weigh
$50 pounds. The engine alone,
which is of the original design of
MacDermott, will weigh 1926 pounds
and will be able to develop from
IS to 100 horsepower with 1000
revolutions a minute. The builders
expect to make flight some tine

LIBEL SUITS? WHYOFCOURSE

Probably no independent paper made an attack on
political clique entrenched in public office, without hav
ing libel suit two started against it. 1t was surprise
to The Press that Acting Chief Sullivan brought libel
suit 1t about the only thing he could do in the way
of vindcation.
1t was the same bright acting chief that threatened
100000 libel suit against Mrs. Stafford and the Woman
club when the dared to crticise him. Let's see
now that makes $4,000 worth of harassed mentality
valued acting chief is Juggling around with him. That's
quite bit of mental anguish to carry around under
frock coat, isn't it!
Well, anyhow to resume, The Press expected when it
started last week this fight for higher wage scale for
municipal workers and for three police matrons that it
would probably have libel suits and official mud singing
and other minor annoyances The Press understands that
the way of the refomer fighting gang easy, but
The Press went ahead and told the truth found it, be
that is the only thing this paper do while it is
honest and independent.
The Press always regrets libel suits, because they
senseless nothing but grief for the politicians that
bring them, and they compel paper IN self justification
to tell the whole TRUTH and Acting Chief Sullivan knows
better than else in town how little he is anxious Tor
the WHOLE truth about himself and his administration Of
the city jail to be told and made matter of court record
But since The Press is forced to dig into the vltas
of this police situation going to dig well as 1T knows
how and since this fight for decent government and
square deal for the workers of Spokane The Press does
not think much of favor to ask that the folks 1t IS
fighting for stand by it until this thing is settled and set
tied right.
Sullivan is but the nervous, agitaed serf under the
thumb of the hgherups Of to get clean Jail cOndl
