Grand Jury Meets.

The grand jury met Monday and con-
sidered various matters, none of which
were made public as a report. A
recommendation was made, however,
to the county board of commissioners
carrying the grand jury's endorsement,
that the medical contract now effective
be revoked and that what the grand
jury termed as efficient medical SER
vices" be secured at once.
1t seems that the sentiment reflected
by the grand jury is the result of a
growing discomfort plainly in evidence
in many quarters. which was brought
to head Sunday by the release of an
inmate of the pest house, who accord
ing 20 Drs. A. H. Heppner, G. l..
Dempsey and G. M. Gardner, should
not have been liberated for week or
ten days longer at the outside. The per-
son in question was returned to the pest
house.

DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION
Various Matters Are Being
Heard In Judge Pixies
Court of Equity.

The case of DIR. A. H. Heppner VS..
George d. Ernst, administrator of the
estate of George Ernst. deceased. has
occupied the court since Monday. The
issue has to do with alleged misrepre-
sentation made to the plaintiff at the
time he purchased the ranch on
Old river known as the Ernst ranch.
Heppner alledges that the representa-
tion included 400 acres of vested water
right, when as matter of fact, the
government recognized but 2S0 acres
of vested right. Through his attorneys
Sumerfield & Curler, of Reno, Heppner
is suing for damages in the sum of
5000, which it is claimed represents
the value of 120 acres of cultivated
land in these parts. As a matter of
fact, at the time of the sale of the
ranch, which occurred about five years
ago, vested water right land was worth
about half of the value asked for.
Representing the Ernst interests are
Judge Massey, of Reno, and L. N.
French, the local representative of the
law firm, and hard fight will be made.
Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday
were consumed in getting jury to try
the case and the first venire was ex-
hausted and additional jurymen sum-
moned before the jury was finally Sc
cured.
Following the completion of a jury
Tuesday afternoon, Judge Massey, for
the defendant, set up the contention
that the proper people were not being
sued, an opinion In which the court con-
Cured and the case was again postponed.
At the time of going to press the
criminal case of the people VS.. Henry
LIGHTER was in progress in the court.
A jury had been secured and examina-
tion of witnesses was in progress.

UNPOPULAR WITH TAXPAYERS
The Charging of Civil Suit Costs
Is Not Liked By the
Taxpayers.

About as unjust law as can well be
imagined is that which has to do with
compelling the taxpayers of a county
to foot certain bills arising out of civil
actions. For instance, under the present
manner of doing things, the public
exchequer has to stand the expense of
a jury venire with the exception of the
twelve men who actually serve upon
the jury. Lawyers may wrangle and
brow beat and cause several successive
venires to be exhausted without Sc
curing jury, in which event the ex-
pense falls upon the taxpayers. In the
instance of DR.. A. H. Heppner VS.. the
Ernst estate, it is said the actual cost
to the taxpayers will be around $400.
Just why the people of the county
should have to stand expense rightfully
belonging to civil litigants, is more
than the average taxpayer can UNDER
stand.
In these times, when money is scarce
and tax stipends are produced with
difficulty, it is calling to the taxpayer
to have to pay for civil suits of this ma
ture. Four hundred dollars would help
to build quite stretch of much needed
road. So long as the county counts
among its population people who cam
not protect themselves in trade, we
would like to see the law amended so
that equity would govern, and civil
Iitigants would have to stand their own
coats.

HIGH FINANCE IN EUREKA
Oscar j. Smith Loots Eureka's
Only Bank of Everything
of Value.

Oscar j. Smith, former Republican

cred, is the conclusion that has been
reached, following the hearing held
in the district court at Eureka last
week. The news has come as blow
to the depositors, who had hoped for
better condition of affairs to exist.
Gloom exists in Eureka, for along
with the closing of the bank has come
two other disasters, the closing of the
mines. and the suspension of the only
railroad running into Eureka. All OF
the ''rainy day" money Is tied up,
and there is not enough available foi
present urgent uses and demands.
According to the figures of the
state bank examiner there were notes
and over.drafts of the Smith Bros. In
vestment Company amounting to $780,
438. 80; notes and over-drafts of the
Smith Bullfrog Investment Company
amounting to s32, ,4s6. So; notes anc

Thinks Well of Our Dairyins Re-
sources.

C. E. Trefts, of Newman, Stanis-
laus county, California, is in Fallon.
He tells US some interesting facts about
his section, which furnish food for
thought to local people. He says that
alfalfa hay land rents for as high as
$50 per acre per year, and that dairying
has made everv Industrious man in his
county independent. He also tells US
that local creameriesthere were failures,
the cream people of the larger centers
coming in and by reason of their near
ness to market and better facilities,
crowded the local manufacturers out
of business.
Mr.. Trefts is an old friend of j. j.
Williams and in looking this section
over has concluded that wonderful
future is in store for the project.

SOUTH RIVER BANK
TAKES BOND ISSUE

South River, Oct. 15:-Thursday
afternoon the sale was contaminated
of $137.500 in South River borough
bonds to the National Bank of that
place. This issue Is for the purpose
of paying for a water, light and sew
er systems in that place.
The bonds were offered for sale
several months ago at 4 ~ per cent,
but there were no offers, owing to
the condition of the money market.
1t vas found necessary to raise the
rate to five per cent. and yesterdays
sale was made at this figure.
This clears the way for the Inn
provements for which the borough
has been striving so long. The work
can be started In the spring, and
ought to be completed before the end
of next year.

keyport, Oct. 15:-The regular
meeting OF the borough council was
held IN the borough hall Thursday
night, every member being present.
A communication was received
from Henry s.. Terhune, of Matawan,
in regard to laying a sidewalk In
front of his property in Front street,
near the oyster creek. to comply
with the sidewalk ordinance. He
stated that he thought that it was
the county's place to lay It, but If
1t was not, and he was compelled to
lay 1t, he wanted to be assured that
1t would not be disturbed. The mat
ter was referred to the councils at
torney.
The second and third readings of
the sewer ordinance was made and
adopted.
G. l., Rapp, of this place, was
present and asked for a special rate
for water for his place of business
in Broad street. as he used a very
large amount of it, but no action
was taken.
superintendent Ward, of the New
York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company, appeared before the coun-
ell In regard to a notice he had re-
ceived for the company in regard to
laying a sidewalk on their property
at the foot of Broad street, where
their piers are located, saying that
their deed calls for property from
James Carroll's property to the
Beach Park property, which is oppo-
site and that as long as the street
at that point was private property,
they did not think 1t right that they
should be compelled to lay the side
walks through the middle of 1t. No
action was taken by the council.
Messrs. Brown, Ackerson and 30
gardus, Of the sewer committee, were
present and made some suggestions
in regard to the erection of the sew
erage system and plant. One OF
these vas that the bonds be placed
and paid as follows; $1,000. for the
first ten years, $500 for the sec
ond ten years, $4,000 for the third
ten years. and $4,000 for the fourth
and last ten years, all to bear inter-
est at. five per cent.
They also suggested that our citi-
ems be given an opportunity to pur-
chase the bonds If they desired, and
that they could be disposed of out

pie here. =!
