ROACH PLEADS
GUILIY.--GETS
; YEARS

In the district court this morning
David Edward Roach pleaded guilty to
the charge of assault with intent to
kill, and was sentenced by Judge Som
ers to serve three years in the state
.penitentiary at Carson City.
Roach was indicted at the reeeI. SEES
sion of the grand jury for lie crime 20
which he pleaded guilty today. On
oune IL, at Rawhide, he attempted to
shoot Frank Phelan, the constable OF
that township, after having terrorized
the people of that place for some time.
Roach had marched a deputy sheriff, at
the point of a gun. down the main
street of the town and threatened to
take the latter to his home and shoot
him before his wife. Phelan was no.
tilted. and it was while the officer was
making the arrest that Roach fred upon
him.
The prisoner was defended by j. X.
Reddington, who was assigned by the
court to look after his interests.

WILLARD CHOSEN RECEIVER
OF ELY-CENTRAL COMPANY

Ed Willard Of Ely was appointed re-
eeiver for the Ely Central Copper CON-
pany recently by Judge Thomas L.
Mitchell of the district court and a
temporary injunction against the pro-
posed plan of reorganization was
granted at the same time, after hearing
arguments on the petition filed by j.
II. McMurray.
The bonds of Mr.. Willard were fxee
by the court in the sum of $4,000
while those of Mr.. MeMurray on the
granting of the temporary injunction
were named at $4,000. The old COM
pany was in possession of the property
of the Ely Central over the holidays,
pending the acceptance of the sureties
of the receiver of the property by the
court. The suit of Mr.. McMurray will
probably be withdrawn, as the an
nouncement has been made that the
original plan of reorganization had
been abandoned, says the Ely Exposi-
tor.
The order for the appointment of the
receiver was not made without a stub
born resistance on the part of Attorney
James NJ. Lockhart on behalf of the
Ely Central company and the Hor.
Samuel w. Bedford, acting for the
creditors. The contention made by
these gentlemen was that if a receiver
were to be appointed, the appointment
was vested in the federal courts. Their
action was based on the removal to tho
circuit court on the plea of diversified
citizenship. Mr.. McMurray had
brought his action for the appointment.

and the fact that he substantiated that
claim was the knockout blow to the de

The defense did not want a receiver

ready to take hold of the affairs of the

stockholders, the proposition being TO

TWO MONTANA BANKS

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 80. The
Hewitt State Bank at Basin, Mon,
was closed by the state bank examiner
today. A statement said the stockhold-
ers have overdrawn and the bank has
failed to pay as an investment.
NJ. l.. Hewitt, mining promoter, is
president, and former Governor A. +.
Spriggs is vice president. The capital
is $4,000 and the deposits $35 900.
The banking firm of Friday and Jel-
nisens at Harlowtown was closed today
and as a result several Harlowton bust
ness firms have passed into receivers
hands. The extent of the liabilities
and assets are not known, pending O

plan instead of making it for .he
amount of % cents a share as was
originally intended. The local stock
holders would be satisfied with this ar
arrangement provided they can be guar
anteed that Seheftels & Co. will have
nothing further to do with the manage
ment Of the e%ompany's financial affairs,
and from all that can be learned this
seems to be the status of the case IN
the east.
MIR. McMurray is very well pleased
with the selection of Mr.. Willard as re-
ceiver, as he is recognized as well
qualified for the position, both as a
business and mining man.
A. B. Witcher, whose name was sug-
gested as receiveL is also satisfied with
the appointment and will be n of Mr..
Millard's bondsmen, knowing that the
selection means that all parties con
cerned will receive a square deal. The
appointment of a receiver was neces-
sary, in Mr.. Witcher' 8 opinion, to pro-
tect the stockholders and creditors, and
he believes now that things are brought
to a focus 1t Will not take long to
straighten out the affairs of the com
pany satisfactorily. The need of a
receiver was urgent in view of the fact
that there are no funds in the treasury
of the company and many claims
brought against it and more claims for
taxes and interest on bonds that will
be due soon. Other parties interested
as shareholders in the Ely Central
have expressed the same opinion as 70
the appointment and now feel more Sc
cure and that they now have more
chances of getting back the money
they have invested in it.

Weber, M. B. Garaghan, d. P. BARLEY,
W. c. Gallagher, W. r. Graham and

ment of the mine. AS a result DIR.
Ward was dispatched west to repre-
sent the company and after confirming
the opinion of Mr.. Kirchen the neces-
sary orders were given.
While the blow is a heavy one to
Rhyolite and the entire southern por-
tion of the state, it has been thorough
ly discounted during the past few
months. 1t was known that things
were not looking particularly bright
and the last annual statement showed
that the company was still indebted tc
Mr.. Schwab in the sum of considerably
over 100000. The Montgomery Shes
hone was the last hope of the Schwao
interests in the mining fields of the
state of Nevada. Some years ago
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were lost at Greenwater, just
across the line in California, and at the
time the boom burst Mr.. Schwab made
some ~caustic remark concerning as5o-
ciates who ha6 recommended the pur-
chase of property in that district. Soon
after, a clean sweep was made of those
who had previously advised him, and
Mr.. Kirchen was placed in charge of

tuted many needed improvements III

have accomplished more than was az
one time thought possible in the way
of extraction. The ore bodies did not
develop up to expectations, however,

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 80.
That it is the intention of the Salt Lake
railroad 20 mel in the near flu
ture the building of it's own line from
Dageett west, obviating present traf-
fe arrangements with the Santa Fe, IS
the belief expressed by engineers now
in this city. The opinion is that thc
road will be built through the MoJave
valley and connect with the present
terminus at Riverside Junction.
Engineers who have looked over the
reo;on are af the opinion that the Salt
I.ate will not cross the mountains IN
caion pass, but select a route where the
Grade will be less heavy. 1t may be
that Devil Canyon viii be chosen. In
that event some tunneling win be nee

asts with the anticipation that the road
will maintain large freight yards here

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20. The move
ment to bring to Baltimore the repre-
sentative Democrats of the country in
and out of congress in a gathering that
will present an opportunity to rejoice
over the recent Democratic victory and
to interchange views as to the future
was placed on a definite foundation to-
day.
The committee in charge, headed BY
Gov. Crothers, after a conference with
Norman f. Mack, chairman of the Deu-
ocratic national committee, and Champ
Clark of Missouri, adopted the form of
an invitation to be sent to the leading
Democrats in all states.
Acting upon the advice of Mack AMI
Clark, the conference idea originally
considered was dropped, and it was de
termined to make the occasion a nation
al Jackson day celebration of Demo
cratic achievements. The plans IN
dorsed by Chairman Mack and Mr..
Clark contemplate a mass meeting at
the Lyric in the afternoon of Jan. II,
1911, at which speeches will be mace,
to be followed by a banquet.
1t was thoroughly understood that
the Baltimore celebration will not be
in the nature of a conference.
1t was further understood that there

Likewise it was made plain that no sec

1t is proposed to send invitations ii

in the dark, so to speak. The surface

than any camp that has yet been

Mr.. T~horndyke cites instances in the
history of many famous camps, such as
Virginia City and Bodie, that quoted

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. = Because

Eureka Bank Officials Are

Technically in
Indictment

CARSON CITY, Nov. 20. The Su'
preme Court OF the state of Nevada
yesterday handed down its decision in
the case of Oscar j. Smith and w. K
Griffin, who were indicted under Rue
state banking law in connection with
the failure of the Eureka Bank.
The opinion of the court sustains the
constitutionality OF the banking ac-,
but it declares that the indictments did
not set up facts sufficient to constitute
a crime under the statutes. The law
provides That any officer or director of
a bank who has authority to close a
bank or refuse to receive deposits,
when he knows the bank is insolven-,
and does not exercise such authority
shall be guilty of a felnoy and a pun
ishment of from n to ten years IS
fixed as the penalty.
The indictments failel 30 all, ge 'hst
the parties indicted had any such au-
tbority. and the court held that where
there was no such specific authority
granted to the officers of the bank they
could not be held to be e%riminally Liable
for a violation of the law. The matter
was brought before the Supreme Court,
under habeas corpus proceedings to Sc
cure the release of the defendants, and
they were ordered discharged by the
court.

According to DR.. Ward, says the Los

the opinion that. the ore now in sight
was of too low grade to be mined and
milled with profit. 1t was hoped,
however, that diamond drill operations
would show up better ore, and MI.
