CONSIDERED
The ARGUMENT
TOO LENGTHY
A DEPRESSION IN COURT THIS
MORNING OVER THE SEWER
DAMAGE CASE.

The suit of Mrs. Holly Heisner
against the Tonopah Sewer & Drain
age company was still in course of
argument in the district court this
morning, with Attorney Cooke hold
ing the floor This was the third
day the case had occupied the
court.
The bulk of this time has been
occupied by Attorney Cookies argu-
ment for the plaintiff, and this
morning Attorney Alling, for the
sewer company, asked with some
irony if counsel for the other side
could give him any idea when he
would finish his case.
May it please the court" he
stated, Il have announced that l
intend. to leave Tonopah on the
18th inst, and l have many mat
ters to close up before l go. If
counsel is to take several more
days in arguing a case involving
merely $106 l would like to know
it,"
Attorney Cooke retorted with
some heat that he would take all
the time he desired-or words to
that effect.
This riled Mr.. Alling, and he
then and there announced his re-
tirement from the case, leaving it
altogether in the hands of his as
sociate, George B. Thatcher.
The court stated that it had
made a rule permitting attorneys
to take all the time they wished
to present their case, and the rule
would be adhered to.
rhe defense in the suit this
morning offered to submit the case
without argument if the plaintiff
would deposit in court the money
claimed to be due the sewer COM
ipany.

Brings SUIT
FOR SALARY
CLAIMED Due
MANHATTAN JUSTICE OF PEACE
OBJECTS TO HAVING HIS
SALARY CUT.

H. D. Haywood, justice of the
peace at Manhattan, has brought
suit against the. county for 1915
unpaid salary for 1910. The suit
was filed yesterday afternoon. The
sum sued for is the difference be-
tween what he actually drew in sal
airy from the county during the past
year and what he would have drawn
had not the county board welded
its pruning-knife on salaries last
summer. The board, it will be re-
membered, cut the wages of all JUS
tices of the peace and constables in
the county to fit the condition of
the county treasury.
To this Mr.. Haywood objects
and he has always turned in his
monthly bill to the county at the
figure prevailing prior to the reduc-
tion.
The suit is based on the act of
the legislature approved March "a,
1907, in which compensation of JUS
tices is fixed, based upon the vote
of the township at the previous
election. A sliding scale is adopted
by this law. If the township polls
less than 200 votes, the justice gets
a certain salary; If more than 200
hut less than 1000 he cote e1oon.
If over 1000 votes are polled, he
draws $4,000 a year.
Plaintiff in this action denies the
right of the board to reduce sal
aries fixed by law, and hence brings
suit.
The board refused to accept serv-
ice of the papers, but the summons
was laid on the table before the
two members present and construct
i've service forced.
