The following business was transacted
in the District Court this week, Judge
Peter Breen presiding:
On August 4. 1910, a petition was
hled by the Receiver of the Eureka
County Bank requesting that an order
be entered allowing him as such Re
ceiver to deed to the First National
Bank OF Elko certain land in the town
OF Elko given to secure a note dated
November -, 1906.
From the petition filed herein and
the evidence taken il appears that OF
November "a. 1906. one William ].
Dove of Elko borrowed $3.50 from the
Eureka County Bank and gave IS
security therefore certain lots in the
town Of Elko. That the deed covering
said lots was given to the Eureka
County Bank. and at the same time
the Eureka County Bank gave an agree
ment whereby 1t agreed to redeed said
property upon the payment Of said note
and Interest. That thereafter for q
valuable consideration the Eureka
County Bank endorsed and delivered
said note to the First National Bank OF
Elko, said bank then becoming the
owner and holder thereof, and deliver
ed said agreement, but did not transfer
said lots. That the record title to
said lots stands in the name Of the En-.
reka County Bank. The Eureka
County Bank having been paid in full
and the transaction completed so far
as The money consideration was con-
cerned. this requested was made by
the Receiver to allow him to sign said
deed so as TO close the matter so far as
the Eureka County Bank was con.
cerned. The order was granted.
A petition was filed on August 4. 1910
by the Receiver of the Eureka Comfy
Bank for permission to allow him to
urn over 800 to w. A. Mau, same be-
longing to said Mau and not the
bank.
1t appeared that on March Z. 1910,
WA. Mau 10 wired +. Mau from Sacra-
mento for 500 to be ~telegraphed to
him. Z. Mau went TO the Eureka County
Bank before it failed aud gave the
Cashier 800 to be telegraphed to w.
A. Mau. The Cashier accepted the
800 and gave credit to the correspon'
emit bank in San Francisco and wired
the correspondent bank in San Fran.
cisco to pay the 800 to Mau. The cor
respondent bank never received the
telegram and never paid the money and
MAJ never got the 500. No credit was
ever given Mau aud the San Fran
cisco correspondent had 500 to the
credit OF the Eureka County Bank more
than the books of the Eureka County
Bank showed it should have. The 500
was no part of an asset. SO the order
was granted.
A petition was filed by Spencer
Reynolds, Receiver, on August 4, 1910.
requesting that he be allowed to turn
over to Mrs. McNaughton 1880. r. j.
Harris $50. and Samuel Carter $40, be.
ing dividends declared and paid by the
Spring Valley Water Company on stock
held by each. 1t appears that said
money was paid in the Crocker Ma
tional Bank on or about March 81, and
after the Eureka County Bank had
failed and closed its doors for credit to
said Eureka County Bank. That said
Eureka County Bank had no right to
said money although the same had been
credited to its account and the same was
sent to the Receiver. The Receiver
having no legal claim to same, the order
wal granted.
On Friday Attorney II. x. Mitchell

mission to probate the last will n
testament of Cyrus Hamilton, deceased,
in behalf of w. E. Griffin, the executor
named in the will. Letters testament
tary were ordered to issue to Griffin
upon his taking the oath provided by
