destruction Of personal liberty
caused by prohibition ct the

wrong, sin, crime, and as to the
increase of drunkenness, he
knows that to be a myth.

ALLAN LEAvITTs FUNERAL
Held in Carson and Attended by Yer
ington Friends.

tFrom the Carson Appeal
The funeral of the late Allan Leavitt
took place Sunday afternoon from the
residence of Andrew Robert and family.
Aside from the many friends in this city
who attended the services and followed
the remains to the cemetery, there were
a number of relatives and close friends
who came to this city from other sec
tions to pay their last respects. The
services were conducted by Father Cart
land.
After the regular Catholic services DIR.
Stubs of the State University, the insti-
tuition from which Mr.. I.eavitt had grad
uated, paid one of the finest tributes to
the deceased's manhood and character
that has been listened to in many days.
DIR. Stubbs told of the early life and
manly character of the deceased, his rise
in life and patience when he knew that
death was near. The tribute and adj
dress was impressive and left profound
impression on the relatives and friends
assembled
Before his death Mr.. Leavitt asked
that the following Yerington friends act
as pail bearers when his ashes should be
laid at rest: VIM. Powers. Charles
Mcleod, Neil Mcleod. Fred Bertrand,
f. ]. Vicks, George West, Harry War

FEDERAL COURT OF NEVADA
viii Decide the Question as to
Waters Of Walker River.

WASHINGTON. Nov. AFTER hearing
the case argued twice, the Supreme
court of the United States decided Monday
that the federal court of Nevada should
proceed to adjudicate rival claims to the
use of the waters of the Walker River,
flowing from California into Nevada
This decision was based on the conclu-
sion that although the state courts of
California had concurrent jurisdiction
over the question in dispute, the federal
court, having first taken jurisdiction,
should retain it.
The Litigation was begun in 1902 by
Miller and Lux. California corporation
possessing land along this river. They
asked for an injunction from the Circuit
court for the district of Nevada to res
train Thomas B. Hickey and others, all
citizens of Nevada, from making diver
sions from the river above their land, as
it interfered with their rights to GER
tain quantity of water. After the suit
was begun, Hickey conveyed his land in
California to the Hickey Land and Cat
tie Co., which brought suit in the Su-
perior court of Mono County, Calf, al
leging prior rights to the waters of the
river and asking for judicial determin-
alton in order to quiet its title to the
waters. Thereupon Miller and Lux
procured an injunction from the Circuit

THE ELECTION IN YERlNcToN.

The election of Tuesday last will go
down into history as decidedly the most
interesting, and in many particulars,
the most satisfactory election ever held
in Yerington.
Up to three or four weeks ago the
majority OF the people seemed apathetic
and it looked as if there would not be a
sufficient awakening, despite the fact
that so much was at stake for the tax
PAYERS of Yerington and Lyon county.
But, little by little, interest grew, and
by election day nearly every voter in
Yerington was keenly alive TO the inn
portance of the issues which the differ
ent candidates represented. On Monday
even, Main street was livelier than
for many moons, groups of voters dis
cussing the county seat and other ques-
tions being numerous.
On Monday night a "Yerington
rally" hastily thought of and prepared
for, was held at Owl hall, and the en-
thusiasm, harmony and success of that
rally presaged the success of Yerington
at the polls
On election day Main street was again
lively with voters and candidates work.

cellent order prevailed all day, and

drinking and no boisterousness nor
scrapping.
The people were intensely interested,
are glad they won out so decisively on
the county seat question, but are not
disposed to be arrogant over their VIC
tory, or to act mean toward the de-
feated ones.
There were a number of surprises
over the election here. The first is the
fact that Senator Nixon ran behind
Roberts and Oddie and beat Pittman by
only one vote. 1t was thought Nixon
would 90 out of Yerington with a sub
stantial majority. 1t appears to be a

emily not enough work at the polls II
the interests of his candidacy. One of
his leading supporters is authority for
the statement that Nixon was traded off
for votes for as small an Office as con-
stable.
Another surprise was that Cutlery
beat out Hull and Lothrop in this pre-
cinct for district attorney. Both Hull
and Lothrop stand much higher in pub
lie estimation, but they equally divided
17S votes while Cutlery surprised people
by getting ia.
Many were surprised also that Me-
larkey was defeated by a decisive ma
jority in Yerington. Probably no man
stands better in Yerington than his
opponent, Charley Mcleod, and de-
servedly so, (and there is no question OF
his worth and fitness), but it was known
that Dayton would fight Melarkey on
account of his favoring Yerington on
the county seat question, and for that

Monday the Supreme Court sustained
the granting of that injunction.

Morninsstar Did Nobly.

Morningstar assuredly did well by the
Yerington candidates-much better than
Yerington itself did. 1t is said that the
townsite emissaries were rather impolitic
in the way they told the voters of Morn
ingstar how they MUST vote, and the
way Mason was turned down was some
thing scandalous. The following is the

reason alone it was thought Yerington
would roll up handsome majority for
him. Such was not the case, however,
and Melarkey can console himself with
the knowledge that ne was beaten BY
one of the strongest men in Lyon coun-
". 1t may console him also to recall
that someone has said that republics
and cities are ungrateful. 4"
But the way Yerington stuck together
and voted for their champions on the
county seat question was all right, all
right. Personal dislikes were swept
aside and votes were cast for the men
who stood with Yerington. Charley
Martin may possibly be reelected by
votes i'll the other end of the county,
but the drubbing he received at the
hands of his neighbors OH Tuesday
ought to hold him for a long time.
