Brisiow in Colorado

Senator Bristow. the arch in
surgent OF Kansas. has been in
Colorado this week calling sinners
to repentance and incidentally
trying to help our townsman in
his race tor the republican guber
material nomination. A Colorado
Springs paper commenting on the
fact refers to Merle ID. Vincent of
Grand Junction. If that paper
knows as little of the man as it
does OF his home. its comments
amount to nothing. Evidently
the paper has learned that he is
from the west slope. and it knows
no place over here except the
towu, at the forks of the river.
Since our fruit is.credited to that
aspiring village. we perhaps have
no kick coming when our candi-
date for governor is swiped' also.

Delta Republican
County Convention

Rivaling the music OF the
spheres was the harmony which
prevailed at the republican con-
vention at Delta last Monday. 1t

no cut-and- dried program, not at

lasted an hour and fifteen minutes
and it was free for-all affair,
quite so. 1t was lovely to see
Judge King and Bro. Vincent
dwelling together in peace. a
peace that passeth all under
standing. Standpatters and In
surgents fell upon each Others
necks and wept. Everything wa,
lovely and the aquatic fowl de-
pended at high altitude. Snick-
ersnees were out OF sight and
blue smoke curled up from the
pipe Of peace.
The following wholly impromp-
tn program was then carried out:
Merle D. Vincent was indorsed
for governor. set OF democratic
resolutions was adopted. after
which the following were elected:

Land CASES OF The
S. P. MAY Be
SETTLED

1t is quite possible that all of the
big land cases, twenty six in all be-
tween the United States, government
and the Southern Pacific company
will be settled. Negotiations are now
being carried on and it is believed
that before many more days have
passed the litigation will all be dis
posed of. Attorney Chas. Levers
spent several days in San Francisco
last week and it is generally believed
that he was in conference with the
Southern Pacific attorneys in that
city and Frank Hall and other gov
ernment attorneys and from all indi-
cations some agreeable settlement
will be reached which will put an end
to litigation expensive to both the
Southern Pacific and the government.
If the settlement is reached many
thousand acres of mineral land will
be thrown open to the mine owners
without any cloud on their tide and
much development may result
throughout the state.
The attorneys for both sides are at
present working on plan to segra-
gate all lands either under actual To-
cation at the time the patents were
issued to the Southern Pacific or
known to be mineral land at that
time, from the other Southern Pacific

has been secured from San Francisco
to attend Mr.. Bachrodt.
John Toedt is threatened with

now convalescent.
Dorothy, the young daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Opperman is
very sick with typhoid.
Miss Lillian Lodge, trained

There are several other threatened
cases of typhoid fever in town, and
Drs. West and Russell are kept busy.
Extra precautions should be taken by
the people, as there is no question
but what the numerous cases of fever
indicate a mild epidemic. Drinking
water should be boiled and little
lemon juice added.

CARSON CITY, New, Sept. "a
On motion from defendants own
counsel the appeal Of Frank Peart,
convicted of murder in Humboldt
county, was today dismissed from
the files and an order entered by the
supreme court instructing the dis
trict judge to fix the time of execu-
tion of sentence.
Peart killed his victim in pistol
duel in a saloon at Mazuma, a min
ing camp some six months ago. He
was tried and found guilty. Attor.
ney McCarran who represented
Peart, stated that he was unable to
find matter to sustain the appeal and
it is now believed that an appeal to
the board Of pardons will be made
after sentence is imposed by the
court. Ia,
At a special meeting of the board
of pardons, held in Carson City last
Wednesday, the death sentence re-
fered to above was commuted to life

HOWARD N. Riddle. A CAN.
DIDATE FOR MEMBER
OF The ASSEMBLY

In this issue appears the political
announcement of Howard N. Rid
die as a candidate for member of
the assembly on the democratic tick
ct.
Mr.. Riddle is too we'll known in
the territory covered by the TRIBUNE
to need any introduction to our
readers. Besides being the pioneer
newspaper man Of the Seven 1roughs
District, he was one of those early in
the newspaper field in Lovelock and
was the editor and proprietor of the
old Lovelock Argus for several
years. The papers edited by Mr..
Riddle have always been noted for
their fearlessness in attacking wrong,
and for their upbuilding of the com.
munity in which they were located.
His newspaper training has given
him excellent experience such as
would fit him to make first. class
Assemblyman.
His friends numbering everybody
in this end Of the county take kindly
to his condidacy and many have as
sured him of their answering sup
port at the general election. He has
the love of the southern of the county
at heart, and the TRIBUNE bespeaks
thoughtful consideration for his can
didacy.

GAZING SKYWARD FOR
DUCKS BILLIE" Lane
GETS LOST In TULES

William ]. Lane got lost in the
lower valley last week. "Billie"
was out hunting ducks with Lester
Van Reed, Jos. Dumas and H. o.
Abbot, and they went into the
high tule country bordering on the
big lake in the lower part of the
valley. W., J. wandered about, in
the tall grass, with eyes pointed
skyward looking over the malards,
teals, spoon bills, etc. As he walked
gazing skywards he strolled deeper
into the entwining grass. 1t ap-
preached the hour of noon, and the
first pang of hunger warned him to
look up his companions. Then for
the first time he found he was lost.
He looded around and he knew not
whence he came or whittier he was
going. He was surely lost. Loudly
he called for help, but his compan-
ions were only few rods away and
they soon brought the wandering
boy into camp.

desire to add word of testamony.
Mr.. O'Kane was a friend of mine
although he was Jealous Roman
Catholic, and l, Methodist preach
er. When / began plans for the new
Methodist church in Lovelock, it
was John O'Kane who offered me
the first help of money and his kind
and brotherly counsel was that which
helped me vastly more. All through
the building of the church he took
an active interest, as much interest
as one expects from person who
belongs to the church making i'm
provements.
John O'Kane was man whose
sympathy and interests reached far
ther than the confines of the church
of his choice. When | bid him
goodbye he remarked, al shall meet
yoa again." and SO | firmly believe
for myself that in the eternity l
shall again meet and associate with
Brother O'Kane.
Yours truly,
Mark White.

SENATOR GEO. S. NIXON
OUTLINES THE
ISSUES

In an interview recently published
by the Reno Gazette, Senator Nixon
had the following to say Of Nevada's S
Railroad Commission and its work,
and made suggestion that is cer-
tainly for the best interests Of the
people Of the State. He said:
GAS to State matters, favor
strong Endorsement of the work of
the present State Railroad Commits
sion. 1t is non-partsian body, and
as | stated in my remarks in Cong.
ress, in support of what was com
mouly known as the long and short
haul clause, the Nevada Commission
was most able body and had pre-
pared and presented one of the
strongest Interstate Commerce Com
mission, showing the injustice done
to the inter mountain country by the
unfair back haul charge of the
railroads, upon which that tribunal
had acted.
Il personally know the three gen.
tlemen who comprise this body,
namely, Mr.. Bartine, Mr.. Shaugh-
messy and Mr.. Thurtell, and know
them to be able and fairminded
men, asking only justice for the
citizens of the State of Nevada, and
ready at all times to encourage the
building of new railroad lines with
in our borders; therefore, l favor,
and am sure this will meet with no
objections from any Republican,
that the party pledge itself in the
case of its success at the polls on the
9th day Of November next, to retain
the above named gentlemen as men,
bers of the State Railroad Commits
sion.
Il also favor strong, vigorous
plank upon the general railroad
question. am not one who believes
The railroads have control of the
politics of the State of Nevada, and
have had for the past ten years as
some seem to think, but shall favor
any vigorous, earnest declaration
upon all Of these matters. There is
no politics in such question; it is
simply question of business, and |
believe every man in the State wants
to give the railroads a square deal,
but no mole or no less. know that
has always been my position, and is
my position now."

land. This will not include the
land under litigation in Olinghouse,
which is embraced 10 what is known
as the Buck ingalls, case, but if the
present conference ends in settle
ment of the cases the Buck ingalls,
case will be taken up and it is belize
we'd that it will be disposed of with
out further litigation.
For more than two years past the
Southern Pacific company has been
engaged in expensive litigation with
the government over mineral lands
in the state. The government has
contended that the lands were paten-
ted as non mineral udder false pre-
lenses. A large amount of testimony
has been taken and SO far no evi
dence OF fraud has been shown. The
position now iaken by the govern.
ment is that the land was patented
through inadvertance and mistake.
In 1907 the hearing of the Buck
ingalls, case in Carson the railroad
company offered to give up all land
that had any sort of mineral
claim on it or shown to be mineral
land at the date os patent, but the
government refused to accept the
offer, because it contended that land
upon which mineral was discovered
after the date Of patent should be
decided back to the government.
Owing to the decisions of the
United States supreme court it is
said that this latter contention can
not be sustained and the proposed
settlement if made will be along
the lines originally proposed by the
railroad.

MEMORY OF
SENATOR JOHN
O'kANE

Father Enright who has been at
tending the annual retreat at Grass
Valley California, attended Mass at
Lovelock Sunday. HIS sermon upon
the life and death of Senator John
O'Kane was touching eulogy Of the
departed. The sermon was deyel
opment of that beautiful text, 1.-THE
just man shall flourish as the, palm
tree and his days will be multiplied
as the cedars of Libanus." OF MIR.
O'Kane's death tho reverend speaker
said: "This community has lost
one of its truly most trusted citizens;
Nevada one of its most ardent up.
holders. | have also lost friend
when | loved as sincerely as is pos
slble for one man to love another,
for nowhere in my recent travels
through the world have l found one
man more truly religious, with an
absolute freedom from religious hy-
pocrisy, and for this reason loved
his fellowmen with sincerity and
earnestness beyond the power OF ex-
preston.
'On Mrs. O'Kanes return, there
fore, let nobody Withhold that ex-
preston Of sympathy which is never
SO effectual as IN sorrow. Console
her in her heavy trial for the day

we need friendship and sympathy
that kind of friendship and sympathy
which comes from the depths of the
soul and leaves the positive assurance
with the sorrowing friend that it was
really sincere.

BASE BALL PLAYING PRAISED

Cisto Parks, formerly of Love-
lock is making good as baseball
player in Phoenix, Arizona, and the
paper of that town has the following:
"a new pitcher for the Phoenix
team was tried out yesterday. He is
Parks who went into the box for four
innings, Parks sends a ball with a
pretty little break in it that caught
manager Affords eye at once. The
Veteran League player announced
after the game that the boy had it in
him. Parks will undoubtedly be one
of the pitchers for the new team.
