make jackrabbit stew. One of
the parties journeyed towards Mil
lers, and were met by bunch from

and returned with about seventy
victims. The party which hunted in
the vicinity of Klondyke Wells cap
tured about forty of the desert an

and no hand-to-hand combats oc-
Cured, although the hunters were
prepared for any emergency. They
were also prepared \ for snake bite

FILES Petition
TO DECLARE GOLDEN
A BANKRUPT
ATTEMPT is MADE TO RECOVER
ON NOTE ENDORSED BY
FORMER BANKER

Frank Golden, former president
of the Nye and Ormsby County
bank, is again in the limelighr, ac-
cording to the Reno papers. A pc
tition has been filed in the federal
court asking that he be declared
bankrupt, and the proceedings are
not to Mr.. Golden's liking. Con-
corning the affair the Reno Journal
hys the following to say:
IA petition for the purpose of
making Frank Golden an involun-
tary bankrupt was filed in the fed
eral court at Carson yesterday by
James I. Boyd. 1t is reported that
the application is based on the nom
payment of note for $4,000 signed
by Tom Kendall and endorsed by
Golden. The application states that
Golden's liabilities are far IN excess
of his assets and asks the court to
appoint a receiver to take cnarge of
Goldens business.
'In addition to the legal phase
of the matter, it represents the cul-
mination of long existing reud be-
tween Boyd and Golden. Boyd was
formerly Goldens attorney but dis
sension arose and he became bit
terly antagonistic to his former EN-.
ployer. At the recent election the
two were again arrayed against each
other.
Golden states that he has con
verted all of his property for the
purpose of paying the obligations
of the Nye and Ormsby County
bank and that rs per cent of the
obligations have been taken care O
to date. He claims that II he il
let alone he can straighten out the
bank tangle Rd that he does no
believe that the court will take thu
management of his business ava.
from him.
