BAND WILL PLAY
SUNDAY NIGHTS
IN The FUTURE
POPULAR DEMAND is CAUSE
FOR THE CHANGE FROM
SATURDAY

The regular weekly band con
courts will be changed from Satur-
day to Sunday night. This decision
has been arrived at by msI .uhile,
who are contributing the money to
pay the band boys. At the time the
concerts were started there va
quite an agitation to hold them on
Sunday evening, but those in favor
of Saturday carried the day. The
merchants realize that from mon
etary standpoint it does not aid
them as the crowds will stand on
the streets until the concert is over
and then start to do their buying,
keeping the clerks to later hour
in the stores and also depriving
these sam eclerks from listening tC
the music. On Sunday night all are
at liberty.

SPENCER WILL
PITCH THIRD
GAME OF SERIES
PROUT TO BE USED AT GOLD
FIELD ON THE FOURTH
OF JULY

There will be a few changes in
the lineup of the base ball team
next Sunday. Spencer will pitch
and Prout will be placed in all
probability somewhere in the field
as he will be used against Goldfield
on the Fourth, which is only two
days from the Sunday game Spen-
Ger has never been tried out as the
only time he pitched here was with
an injured hand and he made no
attempt to curve the ball.
Those acquainted with Spencer's
work say that he can deliver the
goods and is not only there in the
box but knows how to manage the
boys who support him.
There may be few other
changes but at present nothing de-
finite has been decided. The boys
were out for practice last night and
will continue to work out the rest
of the week as it is the intention
to show the southerners how the
game should be played when they
journey to this camp next Sunday.

COURT OF NEVADA
DECLARES BANKING LAW
AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Depositors of the Late State Bank and Trust
and Nye and Ormsby County Banks Will Have to
Whistle for Their Money.

CARSON, June 2S.-The banking
law, as passed by the last legisla-
ture, that was intended to relieve
the present receivers from liquidat-
ing the affairs of defunct banks,
and placing the matter in the hands
of the state bank examiner was de-
clared unconstitutional yesterday by
unanimous decision of the SUI
preme court.
The case was brought to the
supreme court on a writ of manda-
mus, secured by Eugene Howell,
state bank examiner, directed against
Frank l.. Wildes, receiver of the
State Bank and Trust company.
Shortly after the passage of the
bill which was known as the Coke
Banking act, Howell served notice
on the receivers of the State Bank
and Trust company, the Nye and
Ormsby county bank and the Eureka
Dank, asking the different receivers
to relinquish all duties in connect
ion with the banks and also to turn
over the papers relating thereto, to
him. The receivers refused and
Howell promptly brought mandamus
proceedings against Wildes in order
to test the law. Had he won
other receivers would have acted ac-
cordingly.
The supreme court decision states
that the legislature took upon itselt
power that was illegal in that i
could not, under the constitution O.
the state, legislate cases out O
court, as the receivers were ap
pointed by the court, and that sucl
act consequently was unconstitution

The Idora had it's usual big house
last evening and the pictures and
vaudeville was enjoyed by all. The
big picture-the sinking of the s.
S. San Marcus, or the battleship
Texas, was run for a second time by
request and everybody voted it to
be the finest picture ever shown in
this city. For tonight there will
be change of vaudeville and the
pictures are exceptionally fine. The
music as furnished by the Idora or

paid for admission to the shows,
which is only 10 cents.
In order to make the big bene-
fit performances at the Idora and
Butler theatres a huge success they
have been postponed until Satur-
day of this week, at which time a

TONOPAH WILL HAVE
BIG LIST OF SPORTS
ON FOURTH OF JULY
This City Will Offer Better Prizes for
the Coming Events Than Any Other
Camp in Southern Nevada, and Has
a Better List of Attractions.

A good many people have been
under the impression that this city
was going to observe the Fourth a
great deal on the order in which
the Quakers observed the sabbath in
ye olden days. But this is a mis-
take. We are going to have one
grand and glorious celebration.
There will be something doing
every minute. Tonopah is going to
offer more money in prizes than any
town in southern Nevada, and this
is not "hot air." If you will glance
over the list at Goldfield you will
see that the prizes there do not
come up with those offered in this
city. The sutherners have quite a
number of 81 rewards for contes-
tants, while nothing under $50 will
be offered here. The sports will be
carried out throughout the day and
will be held all over the town,
every section receiving a share of
the entertainment A meeting is to
be held tonight at 1880 at Harry
Epstine's Office of committees, and
all money must be turned in. This
means YOU! So be present and
bring the sack. The prizes offered
on the Fourth for sports are as fol-
lows:

more ................ 5000
