siding. in the case of J. LOTUS US. l..
A. Strosnider ct al, the injunction
prayed for by plaintiff was denied and
the constitutie;ality of the act author
izing the Commissioners of Lyon to is
sue bonds for the building of the new
courthouse declared sound.
Both the act to remove the county
seat and the act to issue bonds have now
been declared constitutional by the Dis
trict Court and so far there is nothing
to prevent the removing of the Lyon
county records to Yerington, although
rumor has it that Mr.. LOTUS is contem-
plating bringing suit to restrain the
commissioners and other county officers
from moving said records. 1t is also
announced that i'll the first case before
Judge French, that of the removal of the
county seat, has been appealed to the
Supreme Court, and that the said court
will take this case up Immediately.

the next six weeks or two months.
Later on in the season Mr.. Mann pro-
poses to put up a model hotel on the
property, and have hot and cold water

other things to make the springs an at
tractive place for both pleasure and
health seekers.
Kinds Springs are located due west of
Yerington some 10 miles. They have
been patronized for years past for their

building up OF the country. the growth
OF the new town of Morningstar, near
the Nevada Douglas mine, the completion
of the Copper Belt road to the latter

FROLICSOME.
PHILLIPS

Il. G. Phillips, the man accused of
forgery, who was arrested in Nina some
two mouths or more ago; who escaped
from the Jail at that place and was re-
taken; who later escaped from the Lyon
County Jail at DAYTON, and was again
captured after search of several DAYS,
is again at large. He either became
tired Of remaining III the bastile or the
officers became tired of keeping him. 50
last Sunday night he took his departure
without saying by your leave to any
body.
Just how Phillips escaped will always
be mystery. He was confined in an
iron tank i'll the room used for a Jail in
Dayton, and watchman was supposed
to sleep III the room next to the jail.
Phillips on the night of his escape is
said to have had another prisoner in the
cell with him. 1t is claimed the lock
on the cell door was picked (by' Phillips
WHO was inside the cell) and that he
then locked the cell to keep the other
man in. At any rate he is gone, and
so far there is no trace of him. That he
will keep out of the clutches of the off
GERS for any great length of time is
hardly possible, however.
Phillips trial. on charge of forgery,
was to have come up i'll court at Dayton
Wednesday and the jury had been SUBJ
poenaed for his trial The jury was
later discharged. There are those who
believe that he could not have been con-
victel of the charge against him but he
evidently did not wish to take the
chances of a trial, or, possibly there
were others who did not care to hear
what he might have to say at a trial
Phillips was first arrested in Nina
He escaped from the jail at that place,
but was soon caught. He was then
brought TO Yerington and kept in Jail
here until he had hearing and was
bound over to appear before the grand
jury. He was then taken to Dayton and
placed in Jail at that place. He escaped
from there last February but was caught
near the old Bower Mansion in Washoe
County and returned to the Dayton Jail.
Ever since he has had night and day
watch over him, and il is passing
strange, to say the least, how he man
aged to make his escape. The Yering-
ton Jail is the only one that Phillips did
not succeed in getting out Of

Farmers are Confronted BY
Danger

Americas ice dealers are being call
ed upon by not a few farmers here
about to lend frigidical assistance in
saving meat, which threatens 20
spoil as the result of recent warm
weather. The meat packed away IN
December is safe, but the January
killings are less fortunate.
Ice packed in quantity about the
fresh sailed meat will save it, to a
very great extent, and the effort is
well worth the cost.
This condition of affairs this year is
owing to the fact that so many hogs
We're killed before Christmas, the early
and long-continued cold of the first
part of the winter enabling the farm
ers to put up their meat earlier than
usual and get it well cured before the
warm weather came.
There are still a good many hogs
left They will be held over until an
other season unless there should come
a continued spell of hog killing

no preparation, and he realizes that
the day has passed when he can expect
to beat his rivals without training
Newcomers are improving so rapidly

cision in retiring at the zenith of his
