SOLVES THE
GREAT BEYOND

William Daniel Gray, a resident
of Genoa since 1852, died last
Friday. He had been in i'll health
for some months and his death was
not unexpected. He is the fifth
old resident of Genoa that has
been called from the ranks within
the last eighteen months.
Deceased was born in Dayton,
Ohio, October oath, 1928, and was
therefore 81 years of age. He came
west and settled in Genoa in 1863,
and with the exception of a short
time that he was employed by H.
Van Sickle, he had resided con-
tinuously at Genoa. When that
town was the hub of industry ef
this county and the scene of lively
times, VIM. Gray conducted a
blacksmith shop there and it was
to him that that the farmers look
ed to for that class of work. He
was a man of exemplary methods
of business dealings and it was
only with the decline of the town
that his business waned and finally
he shut the doors of his shop when
his advanced age made it no longer
possible for him to make the old
anvil send forth its long accustom-
ed ring. For the past several
yeas he lived in retirement, after
life well and industriously spent.
He was one of the old guard of
Douglas Lodge No. II, Free and
Accepted Masons, under whose
auspicies the funeral was conduct
ed last Monday.
TO mourn his loss he leaves a
widow, three sons and two daught-
ers.

SportdOm WIS certainly well
satisfied with the conclusion of the
splendid wrestling contest which
took place at Waterloo on the
afternoon of Washington's Birth
day.
Nolan and Edwards, the two
gladiators, each put forth their
best efforts, but it was the old
story. the best man won. Edwards
certainly demonstrated through
out the match that he was Nolan's
master, and for man who lost
such a hard fought battle as Nolan
we must certainly admire him for
the cheerful manner in which he
accepted his defeat
Long before time was called he
pavilion was crowded. Not men
alone either Mingled throughout
the audience were women and
children as well and they took
keen interest IN every move the
wrestlers MADE.
At 3 o'clock Nolan and Edwards
entered the ring and both men re-
ceived hearty applause from the
audience. Referee Phillips calle
the men to the center of the mat
gave them their instructions ard
the next moment the battle WIS
on.
The opening round found Nolaf,
the aggressive for the first ten
minutes, after which Edwards took
the top position, and from then
on it was neither mans contest.
They both showed up well. Ed
wards gained three flying falls IN
this round, tut as pin falls only
were to be considered, it counted
nothing against Nolan. They
both tried every hold known 10 the
wrestling game and it seemed il
would be a long drawn contest
when finally with lightning speed
Edwards got the toe hold on

Phillips
Defends
Position

Since it has become generally
known that T.. J (Gene) Phillips,
held the championship of the
coast as welter weight wrestl, and
a star athlete of the Olympic Club
of San Francisco, he has been urg-
ed to challenge Edwards, who de-
feated Nolan at Waterloo Tuesday
afternoon. When asked if there
was possibility of such a match
being arranged Mr.. Phillips said:
at is true that | have been
urged to challenge Edwards but
since we have been exceedingly
close friends, have even wrestled
friendly bouts with him, and for
that reason | feel that the serious
ness of the affair might be doubted
| do not want it understood that
this excuse is used as a cloak to
avoid such a match. However,
should Edwards show any desire
to meet me or make a formal
challenge, | would probably look
at the situ ,tion from a different
viewpoint ,han expressed above" "

RAISE FUNDS FOR
PINE NUT Mine

g. W. Emigh, president of the
Pine Nut Consolidated Mining
Company. was here for few days
this week, having returned from
two months visit to California.
Since the mine shut down last
summer because of financial
difficulties, Mr.. Emigh has worked
faithfully and exerted every effort
effert to remove the encumbency.
He has PARKWAY succeeded in his
undertaking and is receiving fur
thsr encouragement by the liber-
ality Of the creditors who have
signified their Willingness to ac-
cept 30 per cent of their claim in
cash and the remainder in stock of
the company. Preferred claims
will be met dollar for dollar.
He expects to have the indebted :
ness of the company entirely eras-
ed by April first, with sufficient
capial in reserve to again take up
the work of putting the mine in the
class of producers.
Stockholders in this company
will no doubt be pleased to learn
that the prospects for early re-
sumption are very bright.
With the many bodies of low
grade gold ore that have been
partly exposed on this property,
and the proper method of extract
ing the values, it should eventual
ly develop into one ofithe best pay
ing mining properties in the state.
Mr.. Emign will return to Cali
fornia in few days to continue
his efforts of procuring funds with
which to re-finance the mine.

PAPERS FILED
IN PRIMARY CASE

The first move to test the Direct
Primary Law was made today
when Jas. T. Boyd and A. L. Gibb-
ons representing Henry Ritter of
Reno, filed a petition in the Dis
trict Court of this county praying
for perpetual injunction restrain
ing w. g Douglass, Secterary of
State of Nevada, from incurring
any obligation to be paid by the
State of Nevad out of the funds of
the state, approximating the sum
OF $500 for the purchase OF ballot
paper for the carrying out of the
primary election in accordance
with the Act passed by the last
Legisla ture.
The matter was taken up by
Judge Langan this afternoon and
the Court issued an order to show
cause why said injunction should
not be granted, and set Friday,
March 4th, as the day and date for
the hearing of the arguments in the
same.
The petition alleges many things
among which are the unconstltu-
tionality of the Direct Primary
Law.
This is the first step to take the
law to the Supreme Court of the
State of Nevada to which court it
will be appealed TO from the dscis
ion OF Judge Langan of the
trict Court for this district.
1t has been known for some time
past that this move would be made
aud 1t Is the general concensus of
opinion that it lis better to have
the law tested at the present time
tnan To walt until some act has
been committed under the law and
then ind that the same is null and
void from the fact that tho law is
unconstitutional.
Much discussion has been had
regarding the law and the effect it
will have in the politics of the
state, but with the fling OF the
papers in the case to-day passes
the matter up to the highest court
to say whether it is to remain up
on the statutes or rslegated to the
scrap heap of bad laws and a re-
turn to the former political meth
DDS that have been in force since
the State of Nevada was admitted
into the union.--Carson Appeal.

SAN BERNARDINO. Dec. 6.--N. 70.
Frye, a prominent resident of River
side, and his wife were late last night
attacked by a chauffeur. also of Riv-

amount of rent for the automobile,
which brought the couple, with a
young woman friend, to this city.
Frye was badly wosted in the alterca-

the police could stop the assailant he
leaped into his machine and started
toward Riverside at fifty-mile clip.
The trouble started in a restaurant,
where Frye had taken the party to
dine, including the chauffeur. While
at the table the chauffeur asked Frye
If he knew what the rent of the ma
chine would be. He told him he eX-
pected to pay SIS for the trip. The
chauffeur claimed that 81 was due him,
and when Frye refused to pay what
he thought an overcharge, the auto

LINDLEY SOUNDS KEYNOTE
Curtis Fl. Lindley, president, sounded
the keynote of the convention When ne
said in his opening address:
"The proletriat never at any time
nor at any place should have the sem
blance of any justift alton for abel
ing our court houses Iying-in hospitals
for the miscarriages of Justice
1T is manifest that in this country
many Of the demanded ultra reforms
are to be accomplished, if at all, either
through amendment to our organic
laws, state and FEDERAL, or by an eX-
pansion Of these instruments by 5u-
dicial Interpretation and obstructive
craftsmanship, or by revolution, which
may not be peaceful, If these two
methods fail. The seriousness or -
outlook challenges the attention OF the
bar Of the country"
