FIFTH VICTIM OF
RAID PLEADS GUILTY

Sam Umas, the fifth and last of
the men caught in the raid of last
Monday night, and who it was at
first Thought would demand,
through his attorney, P. M.
Bowler, jury trial, pleaded
guilty to the complaint filed
against him and donated his SEQ,
which was the amount the fine
imposed upon him by Judge H. H.
Atkinson. and was let free.
The violators Of the gambling
law just increased the exchequer
cold $500. And they are now
wiser but poorer men.
Jim 10 10, who plead guilty to
the information filed against him
and in default of the 500 fine and
through the lenlency of Judge
Atkinson was given a certain
time in which to pay up and look
pleasant, came through with his
500 simoleons last night, shortly
after Sam Umas had paid his.
That settles the controversy for
good and for all and the gambling
cases are now but a memory

Will the Bonanza please inf orm
us where the Tonopah court got
its authority to punish these men
for misdemeanor when section
one of the an ti-gambling Law
makes playing poker q felony and
Tffxes the penalty at from one t.

we understand the Tonopah cases.
the men were caught playing
poker and were charged with that
offehse and not with having Ramb
ling tools in their possession as sci
forth in section three of the act
This section fixes the penalty for
it's violation a fine Of not less thar
$10O nor mere than $500. or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail no
less than one month ner more thar
six months, CIR by both such fin,
and imprisonment. If the Tono

ANNUAL WORK ON
MINING CLAIMS

This the time of the year when

ment work upon his property. 1t is
highly important that :his work
he done in stiirt compliance with
the law. and no harm can be done
# a little more work is done
than is really demanded. In some
localities district laws confiictwith
the federal statutes; but, in test
cases. it will be found that 1the
federal LAW must he complied with,
and that the irregular district
regulations will not hold good. = (.
In cases where work has been
begun before the close of, the year,
hut not completed, no loss to the
claim holder is sustained if he
continues the work withour inter
ruptiOn and into the folloirg year.
Actual occupancy and perconal
possession is regarded by the law as
evidence of good faith on the part
Of the claim holder, and he may
complete the required work and
hold good title, evep if this work
is carried on in to the year 1912.
In the event of the performance
of assessment work upon a group
Of claims, this can be done at one
point on the group, provided. the
work so done tends TO the develop.
ment and improvement of the whole
group: but such work cannot
apply to detached claims, or to
claims in the group which cannot
be benefited by the work being
carried on. In some instances
however, work on group car be
applied to detached claim if il
can be shown that the claim
benefits by the work performed.

He testified that he took a drink
with johnson. one of he defend
ants, skartly after the badger
game the night of the raid and
that he then had mnncy in his
hands. The defense then rested.
Cnu't then adjourned until 7:l5
o'clock for the argument of the
rase.
About 7:3O. Judge Taber took
the bench and stated to the jury
that he had not been able to settle
the instructions in the case and it
would be necessary to adjourn
until 10 o'clock Monday. Court
tnen ADJOURNED.
Court convened at 1890 this
morning.
Judge Tabcr on a telegram from
Judge Averill extended the time
from December 81. 1911 to
January Is, 1912 for the attor-
neys in the case of the state VS.
William Dye to prepare. serve aud
file their bill of exceptions. He
then continued the cases of All
Jim and Jack Maher to 10 o'clock
tomorrow.
All trial jurors not excused for
the term and not on the present
jury were excused until 7 o'clock
this evening and excluded from
the courtroom during the argu.
msnt of the Faragor-Johnson case.
Attorney Martinson then opened
the argument in the gambling
case. He marshalled the principal
facts in the case in a convincing
way and presented them to the
jury. His illustrations were apt
and to the point and must have
made a favorable impression on
the jury. One of them was that
II he saw a man at the breakfast
table with eggs in front of him
and eggs on his mustache, he
would infer that the man was eat

W 'uld argue that he was darning

At the conclusion of Mr..
Martinson's argument. court
adjourned until 80 p. m.
A. the afternoon session, Attor.
ney Cainc made the opening
argument for the defense. The
writer unfortunately heard only
the closing part of his argument
and cannot speak of it as 6
whole. The part he heard seemed
to indicate that his position was
that the state had not proved its
case, therefore a verdict of not
guilty should be rendered. He
made some criticism of Mr.
Crcthley's evidence and asked the
jury to deal justly with the
defendants.
He was followed by Mr.. Dorsey
who began by taking three stacks
of checks from his coat pocket and
placing them on the faro table
He, too, took the position that the
state had not prover its case. He
claimed that playing any game nj
cards or pool for drinks or checks
WAS gambling under the law, just
as much as playing fora or any
other Of the prohibited games
He was still talking when this
report closed. IN
