Sues for Money Advanced.

Jacob Faith, a well known authori
ty on all matters pertaining to agricul
ture and horticulture, says the El
Dorado Sun, brought suit Monday in
Squire Asher's court against Mrs.
Emma Lutes in which he prays for
judgement in the amount of SIG.
From Constable Silas Lowther we
learn that the defendant, Mrs. Lutes,
gives this version of the affair: A
short time ago, she alleges, Mr.. Faith
made her an offer of marriage and
said that he would make her a good
home and that she woule never suffer
want; and in the exhuberance of his
enthusiasm, she states that he drew
SIG in money from his pocket and
laid it on the table. She informed
him, she says, that she did not want
the money, but he went away without
it. In the language of the poet, the
best laid plans of mice and men often
go wrong; and so it was in this case.
Mr.. Faith and his fiance, few days
before the time set for the celebration
OF the nuptials, had serious dis
agreement. She suggested, it is al
legged, that he ought to buy a box of
cigars to treat his friends after the
contamination of the happy event.
During his long life, he has been an
unrelenting foe to tobacco, and has
often assaulted this evil in public
speeches in the most vigorous and
caustic language at his commando and
as result, this suggestion was re-
PEELED. This lead to a controversy,
and to return of the license to the
county recorder; and now that mat
ters have progressed to this point,
Mr.. Faith has brought suit to recover
the above mentioned sum of money.

Monitor to Fight

Monitor and the Merrimac may agar

OF the thrilling features proposed fol
the celebration Of the fiftieth ami.
versary of the first battle of ironclad
ships in history, to be held March 8,
1912, if plans now proposed are car.
ried out.
A section of the Atlantic battleship
fleet will be asked to participate, and,
it Congress is willing, the great
foreign Powers will be invited to
send their dreadnoughts and cruisers
to make the celebration one of the
Most notable and imposing ever held.
Capt. Charles A. McAllister, en-
gineer in chief of the revenue cutter
service, is the originator of the idea,
and the mere suggestion is being re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by
veterans of both armies and navies
that took part in the memorable Civil
War.
1.-THE fiftieth anniversary of the
battle between the first ironclads is
less than six months away" said
Capt. McAllister, "and if we are to
prepare celebration commensurate
with the occasion we should at once
formulate a definite plan. If suffi-
cient popular interest can be aroused
/ do not doubt that the Secretary of
the Navy will send.a division of the
North Atlantic fleet to the scene and
Congress will invite the foreign
Powers to participate.
"Counterparts of the two combat
ants in the great battle could be built
without a heavy expenditure of money,
and it would be interesting as we'll as
instructive to see them repeat the
maneuvers which caused the United
States to leap to the front rank of
naval powers in a single day and
change the naval architecture of the
world.

The land along the drainage ditch
is becoming more desirable, as the
work of the additional dredging goes

The big boat near Papinville is
about set up ready for operation, and
will be soon throwing dirt. The Sec

erected west of the Mo. Pac. Railroad
track and will work towards the head
of the drainage canal. The boat was
billed out from Kansas City by the

Reece, and is expected here soon.
M. D. Albretch, overseer of the
boat which is making the He Bend
Gut informs us that he will soon be
through with this cut and ready to %
to the next cut. The He Bend Cut
will be about IL mile long and save
about 7 miles in the course of the

NYE COUNTY
AUDITORS REPORT SHOWS THE
AMOUNT OWED ON THE
DIFFERENT FUNDS.

According to figures compiled by
Auditor and Recorder Puddy
Grimes the bonded Indebtedness of
Nye county on January 1, 1911,
amounts to $61,OOO, while the dis
trict Indebtedness totals $32,5O0.
The county has nearly this much in
the treasury but the Indebtedness
cannot be hquidated until the bond
issue becomes due. The county in
debtedness is divided as follows:
Refunding bond fund, $4,000;
court house, $4,000; Nye county i'm
provement, $4,000.
The district Indebtedness is as
follows: Tonopah school, $12,500;
Rhyolite school, 100000. The
court house and Nye county i'm
provement funds will be entirely
wiped out next year, which will re-
duce the amount owing to $780,
900.
