new TELEPHONE
LINE FROM NORTH

f. B. Hill, managing director of the
Continental Lake Irrigation company,
states that an independent telenhone
company is being formed in the DEMO
nighborhood for the construction of a
new line from Wild Horse, Oregon, to
Winnemucca. Although the stock
books have been open for only week
or ten days, sufficient shares have been
sold to guarantee the building of the
line
The Burns,i Oregon, line at present
extends as far as Alvord s and in the
spring will be continued ON to Wild
Horse. The new line will be completed
by June l, when Winnemucca will be
able to talk with Burns and all con-
Meeting points east of that place.
This line connecting DEMO and nor
thern points with Winnemucca will no
doubt prove of great convenience to
our local business men, as the territory
referred to has been rathre difficult to
reach in the past, owing to poor mail
facilities.

TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION

So much bad news was received re-
garding Nevada banks when the boom
in southern Nevada came to an end
and conditions had to be met with,
that it is with pleasure that the assur-
ance is received from Eugene Howell,
state bank examiner, which follows:
"I have just returned from swing
around the circle and am pleased to
state that the banks of Nevada are in
better condition at present than ever
bafore in the history of the state.
"They are most conservatively man
aged and are carrying large cash bal
ances. The lonas are all in good shape.
| think that bank failures in this
state are now things of the past.
'There are eleven national banksk
now in operation in this state and six
teen state banks. I have supervision
over only the latter, the government
officials attending to the nationals.
"By the way, everybody is drifting
back to Tonopah. The town is in a
most prosperous condition and good
times are assured for many years to
come. Reno Gazette.

T|CHFNOR JURY
UNABLE TO AGREE

The opposing counsel in the case of
State of Nevada VS.. Tichenor did not
finish their arguments until late
hour Thursday night and it was after
midnight before Judge Ducker finish
ed instructing the jury. Nothing was
heard from that body until o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when they came
into court and Foreman Kramer report
ed that they were unable to agree,
standing to 3. Judge Ducker ordered
them to again retire and attempt to ar
rive at verdict.
At 9:30 this morning the jury again
came into court, when Foreman Kra-
mer stated that they were unable to
reach a verdict, standing the same as
reported yesterday afternoon. They
were thereupon discharged from furth-
er consideration of the case and ex-
cused until 10 O'Clock.
While the deliberations of jury are
never positively known except to the
members, 1t is reported about the cor
ridors of the courthouse today, that it
stood 9 for conviction to 3 for ac-
quittal. If this report is correct, de-
fendant will no doubt be placed on
trial a second time.

". P. ROADBFD
IN FINE SHAPE

In anticipation of hard winter
traffic on the line through the Feather
river canyon, the Western Pacific has
completed work on the roadbed and
tracks, representing an expenditure of
many thousand dollars, according to J.
Fl. Pearman, district freight and pas
senger agent at San Francisco, who
has just made trip over the road.
Last winter traffic ON the Western
Pacific over the mountains was de-
moralized at times by storms and snow.
The company this year will guard
against such mishaps. Mr.. Pearman
says the right of way is now in fine
condition through the Sierra Nevada
mountains.

WILD GOOSE HUNTING FUR
NISHES MUCH EXCITEMENT

Wild goose hunting at Lovelock
this year is better than it has been
for years. There are thousands of
these birds in the lower end Of the
valley and as a consequence almost
any kind of shot can get goose or
two. Several hunters have killed the
limit bag of these birds.
The hunting is done in the morning
or at night. At those times the geese
leave the lake, at the extreme lower
end of the valley, and come up to the
grain fields of the Big Five and Res
ervation ranches. The hunters conceal
themselves in the tall grass and tules,
over which the geese pass on their
journey. The big birds fly quite close
to the ground, and if the hunter is a
good shot he has no difficulty in bring
ing down one and sometimes three or
four.
The geese are very good eating
Feeding on the grain makes them fat
and the meet is tender and juicy

When the redoubtable Cornelius
Kennedy appeared in court for trial
yesterday morning he Immediately
asked Judge Dueker for another day IS
time, without giving any reasons for
the request The delay was refused
and the work of securing a jury was
proceeded with. 1t has since leaked
out that Kennedy's request was not
the result of "hunch,' but he had
been "ribbed up" by his fellow
prisoners at the Jail to believe that
if he went to trial on Friday he might
better plead guilty.
Late yesterday afternoon ii jurors
were in the box, when the venire was
exhausted. Court then took recess
until 10 o'clock, when the panel was
completed from the jurors that were
dismissed from the Tichenor case. At
the opening of court this afternoon

was begun.

At the opening of court this after
noon Salter & Robins made application

tried on an insanity charge before the
criminal ease was proceeded with.
The motion was granted and the jury
excused until the insanity charge is
settled. Owing to the fact that the
names of but twelve jurors remained
in the box, a special venire was drawn
and the names placed in the hands of
Sheriff Lamb for service, the jurors to
report in court at $3.50 O'Clock this af-
ternoon.
