COMPLETE REPORT OF
DISTRICT COURT
DOINGS

In the District Court at Winne-
mucca last Wednesday, the case of
Ernest c. williams, charged with
the larceny Of two head of horses
from Paradise in April went to the
jury late in the AFTERNOON. 1t Is
understood that in the first ballot
the jury stood ten for CONVICTION.
one for acquittal, with one blank
ballot. On the second ballot, the
vote for conviction ws unanimous.
and a verdict to that effect was
returned about Z O'Clock.
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
Williams was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary, and Sher-
iff Lamb took the prisoner through
that evening.
The case of H. c. Tichenor was
called Thursday morning. and two
days were spent before jury was
secured. The defendant was charg-
ed with obtaining money under false
pretenses He is a young man of
more than ordinary intelligence, and
Was accompanied in court by his
wife and child and Mrs. Tichenor's
mother. District Attorney callahan
represented the State and Salter
& Robins the defense.
Among the witnesses present were
several from Elko county, including
Sheriff Harris, Deputy County Clerk
Armstrong and ]. R. Hardman, the
Gold Creek merchant.
The defendants alleged partner,
Haller, who was convicted last
Spring in Elko county and sentenced
to the penitentiary, was brought up
from Carson several days ago and
testified for the state. 1t is under
stood that at the trial of Tichenor,
at which he was acquitted in Elko
county. was rather favorable to the
defendant.
At this trial, however, Haller's
testimony tended to implicate 1.-The
defendant, as does that of Mrs.
Hailre, who is also a witness for
t1fe State.
There is apparently nos de}Eial of
the fact that several Uniont llle cit
izens were defrauded by IT,, bogus
agents. The only question ~at issue
was whether or not Tfchenor was an
innocent paid employee.

According to the Following from

falfa growers o. California are
threatened with pest:

can fly is made into California it
will cost the state billions of doll
ars and prompt means will be TAX
EN- to prevent the pest from gaining
an entry. The fly is death to al
falfa and its presence means the ru-
ination of those crops. Governor
Johnson will be asked to legislate
for better quarantine laws at san
Francisco and for thorough search
ing of baggage bought by steamship
passengers from Hawaiian island
ports. Governor Johnson will also
be requested to allow the appoint
mentment of two assistant quaran-
tine officers at San Francisco and

ance to send an Inspector to Homo

The monthly bulletin to be print
ed by the state HORTICULTURAL comm
ission will bring the fruit growers
and farmers of the state in closer
touch with the horticultural comm
issioner and it is expected to do an
immense amount of good.
1t is thought unwise at present
toissue a quarantine against the
alfalfa weed and suggestion has
been made that county horticultur-
al commissioners be instructed to
fumigate wherever there is the least
sign of the pest. Circulars will be
issued to alfalfa growers enlighten-
ing them on the "weevil' pest as
the new state horticultural commiss.
ioner is determined to stamp Out

GOVERNMENT PUTS ITS
FOOT DOWN ON
PROJECT
Pacific Reclamation Company Is IN
Trouble with Big Land
Promotion Scheme
NOT ENOUGH WATER AvAILABL
Government Engineers declare the
Amount of Water not Suff-
icient.

A dispatch from washington says:
There is danger af serious CLASH
between the federal authorizes and
the lStte of Nevada. Some time ago
the State applied for 10000 acres
OF land under the Carey act, to be
irrigated by the Pacific Reclamation
company, with offices in salt Lake
City. At first more land was wanted
but the Interior department engin-
ners reported that there was water
available for 10000 acres. The
department, therefore set aside that
area. Nothing daunted the irrigat
ion company bought from the state
or private owners $4,000 acres ad-
jacent. 1t then proceeded to adver-
tise $4,000 acre project under the
auspices of the State and FEDERAL
governments
The matter was called to the al
tention of Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Cobb and secretary of the IN
Interior Fisher. An investigation
showed that amount of water had
not increased and that there was
not half enough for $4,000 acres.
The Interior officials took the view
that the, public could not be per-
mitted to suffer from the promotion
scheme.
Upon the recommendation of Gen.
Cobb, Secretary Fisher served notice
upon the compand and the State OF
Nevada that II the alleged misleat
ing advertisements were not called
in neither the company or the state
need expect that the 10000 acres
asked for under the Carey act wouu
be patented by the government.
Under this law the patents are not
granted uGt4i wora of reclamation
is finished by private parties. with
the States approval. The govern
ment is supposed to satisfy itselr
that the reclamation work is prop
erly done and that there Is water
available to irrigate the land before
the patents are issued.

Many Interesting Stories About the
Old Mines of Nevada

There is many an old mine in the
mountains of the west about which
could be woven an Interesting tale
Such for instance is the one, which
paid big in it's early history, but
passing into incompetent hands
failed to produce profits; from one
to another it passed, until finally
abandoned as worthless. Then fol
lowed long period of rest, finally
abandoned as practically worthless
Then followed long period of rest
finally relocation and eventually
its working out once more into a
producing, profit paying mine
This is the bare sketch of only
one mining property. There are
many others. concerning which
could be told tales of great inter-
est. The old mining regions have
many such incidents, which could
be related.
