WEBSTER CASE
HEARD IN RENO

A motion to open the default in the
ease of the Western Pacific Railway
company against G. X. Webster, a sa-
loon man at Gerlach, in which case the
Western Pacific is endeayoring to Sc
cure a permanent restraining order
against Webster to keep him from
conducting a saloon alleged to be on
Western Pacific ground ut Gerlach, is
being argued before Judge Pike in
the district court. Webster is asking
that the default which was taken
against him in the case some days ago
be opened on the ground that he was
misinformed in regard to dates, and
had no chance TO consult an attorney
and on the further ground that the
land upon which he has built his sa-
loon does not belong to the Western
Pacific The Western Pacific does not
claim that it has title to the land but
that il was in possession first and that
therefore il has the best right to the
land and objects to n saloon being
built upon it.
The Western Pacific in this case is
represented by Cheney, Price, Haw-
kins, Downer, & Cheney, and Levers
and Henderson although Attorneys
Price and Henderson are the only ones
in court for the company and Webster
IL represented by J. b. Dixon. The
motion for the opening of the default
will be argued first this afternoon and
evidence will be taken and then the
matter of permanent restraining order
against Webster will be argued. Fol
lowing this Webster will be prosecut
ed by the attorneys for the Western
Pacific on charge of contempt OF
court for not having obeyed citation
of the district court. :.
Webster had trouble with the
Southern Pacific in almost the same
manner in Humboldt county once be
fore this time and then, according tc
the officers, he evaded trouble by put
ting a saloon on wheels and hauling il
about wherever his fancy might di

HOW JAKE EGGERs FELL INTO
POLITICS

Jacob Eggers, the efficient incum.
bent of the Office of State Controller,
literally fell into politics. His fall
came close to carrying him to that far
country from which none return, but
twenty-five months on crutches was
tn eonly Inconvenience he suffered
from fall of 800 feet down a shaft
over in Elko county.
While shift boss at one Of the
mines in Tuscarora, he was going down
in the cage with Sam Stark, his part
ner, and when at the 200 foot level,
the engineer lost control and the cage
dropped, sheer, to tn bottom of the
shaft, which was sos feet deep. Stark
was killed and Eggers had both an
kles broken and suffered other in
juries. He had followed the mines in
Nevada for fifteen years, but this mar
row escape turned his mind toward
other lines Of employment. In the
fall of 1890 he was elected assessor of
Elko county, position he held for
sixteen years. Four years ago he was
elected to the Office of State Control
Ter, a position in whish he has made a
record for efficiency and attention to
duty.
Mr.. Eggers was born in Germany in
1854, but was brought to America
when very young. He was raised on
. farm in Illinois, and had the usual
struggle for an education common to
boys on the frontier. He came to Ne
vada when a young man and cast his
first ballot at Battle Mountain in
1875. He was married in Elko in
1897.

WILLIAM EASToN (PERSONAL
SKETCH)

William Easton, Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, was
born in the Province Of Quebec in 1854,
of Scotch parentage. He spent his
early life in the Province Of Ontario
working on a farm. At the age of
fourteen, he left home, and from that
time on made his own way through
life. He learned the blacksmith trade
ut the age CT II, and can shoe horse
or set q wagon tire now.
He came to Austin, Nevada, in 1875
and worked ut his trade in the sum
mer and chopped cordwood in the
winter. In 1877, he went to work in
the mines, following this occupation
until the people of Lander county
elected him to the office of sheriff and
assessor. He held this office continu-
ously for four terms, and after the
two Offices were made separate, was as
SCISSOR for four years. During the
past four years he has served his
county as state senator.
As assessor, Mr.. Easton was the
first official to raise the assessment of
the Southern Pacific to $4,000 per
mile. This was in the year 1891, when
the 29.15 miles of main line track of
the company in Lander county was as
sessed at $4,000 mile and the side
tracks at $4,000 a mile. The board
of equalization, rather than risk a
lawsuit, nullified tn eassessor' work
by reducing the assessment to $4,000
10 mile.
In the senate Mr.. Easton was chair
man of the committee which reported
favorably on the bill creating the
present Nevada Railroad Commission.
He also stood for the anti-gambling
bill and all legislation calculated to
improve the conditions of labor.
When the railroad rate law was
pending in congress last winter, Mr..
Easton circulated petition in support
of the enactment of the long and short
haul amendment and wired the same
at his own expense to Nevada's rep
resentatives in both the senate and
the house.
In 1899 he purchased the Interna.
tional hotel in Austin, and has also
been engaged in the hardware and
farm machinery business for number
of years. In 1888 he married Mrs. Lucy
Stowe and has family of three
children, daughter and two sons.
He is the only candidate on either

company. He was president of the Aus

members, and was its treasurer when it

down in force loaded for bear.
They secured an injunction prevent

cure in this, returned triumphantly to
await the meeting of the Zenith Com

But the Duluth men were not pre-
