BOOKS ADMITTED

Since last week arguments has
been carried on in the suit against
the directors of the State Bank, in
the District Court before Judge
Langan. Attorney Mack for the
Receiver offered number of
books in evidence to show that the
bank was insolv'nt at the time of
the last dividend. The attorney
for the defense nave argued this
point to finish, as well as insist
ing that the documents had not
been properly identified to be
entered as evidence. The argu-
ment practically took up the
entire week.
Yesterday afternoon Judge
Langan from the bench rendered a
decision in which he cited the
authorities quoted to him.
thoroughly reviewed the case an I
then ordered the books admitted
as evidence.
In this opinion. which was read
from the bench, he stated that the
books had been sufficiently proven
to be those of the bank and in the
use of the directors in their
work, event at the time of the
declaration of the dividend. The
books were ordered admitted as
part Of the exhibits and testimony
in the proceedings.
The lawyers of the defendant
directors Immediately entered
objections to the ruling, which
were entered in the court minutes.
The case was then taken up with
the books in hand and Receiver
Wildes will go on the stand and

WHERE He WOULD FIND It

The story is told of a newspaper
editor in one of the Nevada towns
who had the joke on a citizen OF
his own town not long since. The
citizen and his family are great
admirers Of the mail order store
and buy all of their goods in the
east. A few weeks ago q
daughter of the house got married
and the entire bridal parapher.
MALTA. including the invitations,
was purchased in the big city. The
day after the wedding the brides
father brought the newspa Ter
office long account of the event,
but when the paper appeared it
contained nothing about the we'd
ding but an announcement of
three or four line. Next day the
citizen called at the newspaper
office to demand an explanation
why the report of the wedding
had not been printed. "Oh, that's
all right" said the editor, you'll
probably find it in the National
Cloak and Suit Co.'S spring

WILL MANDAMUS TREASURER

There is another effort being
made to relieve the financial stress
of the state. The state officers
have held score of meetings in
order to solve the problem, but to
date it is in knot. There is one
way out it is hoped and that is to
transfer a fund to the general
fund and get the money in action.
Yesterday Governor Oddie, At
tOrney General Baker and
Secretary of State Brodigan held q
meeting and discussed such a
proposition. 1t was finally pro-
posed to transfer what is LETT in
the new prison fund into the
general fund. The amount left
amounts to $73, 945 80.
When it came to the vote on this
mhtter the minutes show that
Governor Oddie and Attorney
General Baker voted for the
proposition of transferring the
funds. Secretary of State Brodi.
gan refused to vote until he looked
into the legal end of this impor.
tant matter.
The result was that a mandamus
case has been brought against
state Treasurer Mcmillan by the
two members of the board to
compel him to transfer the amount
mentioned from the New Prison
Fund to the General Fund. The
papers were filed with the Supreme
court today.
The Supreme Court will have to
take the matter under advisement
and look up the authorities.
Should is be found possible to
transfer this unused fund into the
general fund it would relieve the
situation for two months at least
and put the discounting Of var
rants off to that extent.
The only item that stands in
the way is the fact that the state
has made contract with the
Nevada engineering Works for
steel cells. to be delivered at the
State Prison. The question Of how
to stand off the Enginer ring
Wokrs IN case they land with the
steel is what will have to be
1ecided.-Carson Appeal.

NEWARK VALLEYS. BIG FIRE

A fire that started from IN
known causes on Thursday of last
week in the heavy sagebrush at
Fairy Dell in Newark Valley,
about 80 miles northeast of
Eureka, threatened to do con-
siderable damage. The fire
started Thursday morning and it
was not controlled and put out
until a O'Clock Saturday after
noon. The ranchers mustered a
force of some % men and women
and they fought the fire with
wet sacks and dirt until it was put
out. On Thursday night the wind
went down and it was thought the
fire was under control. but the
next morning it commenced to
blow again and the flames spread
through the heavy sagcbrush so
rapidly that an attempt to stop it
by back firing was made. Soon
after this hack fire was started TIE
wind increased to q gale and il
got away from those in charge.
The heavy wind carried the two
fires through the s&gcbrush so
fast that any attempt to check
them then seemed hopeless, and
for time the fight was given up.
The fire was between the Smith
and McDougall ranches. and was
burning toward the former ranch.
When it seemed that nothing
could be done to stop it. w. H.
Smith and his family went to
their home and packed nearly all
their hou ehold effects and loade ed
them on to wagons in preparation
for hurried move. for it appeared
almost certain their ranch would
he burned over unless the heavy
wind went down or it's direction
was changed.
Toward evening the wind
moder rated and the ranchcrs again
gathered their forces for another
battle wit the fire, and this time
they were successful, but it took
all that night and until d o'cluck
the next afternoon before they
succeeded in putting out the last
cmbers. 1t was hard fight, for
water had to he hauled by teams
for quite a distance in barrels and
with only wet sacks and sand the
putting out of a fire in heavy
sagebrush at this season of the
year is no picnic. and many of
those who took part in the struggle
to subdue the flames are reported
to have been nearly exhausted
when the work was finished. ,..,
From Miss Annie Smith of
Newark who was in Eureka
Wednesday il is learned that the
fire burned over an area of about
eight miles square, nd that their
ranch had very narrow escape,
