on the noon train. His trip here
is to initiate the prosecution by

be made a federal one it would be
taken advantage of. Platt's visit

There will be no secret divorces in

suit which he instituted against Dr.

that he had braved death for moth

for the defendant physician.
Christie claimed that DR.. Smith
had erred in performing an opera
tion upon him some months ago.
To support his contention against
the surgeon he summoned several
medical experts.
Smith in his turn put on the
stand other experts whose testi-
mony contradicted that of their col
leagues for the plaintiff, and Chris
tie, to prove his point, insisted on
a second operation. Parts of his
interior organism were removed and

WANTS TOWN
GOVERNMENT
ABOLISHED
MUNICIPAL HONORS ARE TOO
MUCH FOR THE GOOD PEO-
Pile OF RHYOLITE.

The population of Rhyolite has
evidently come to the conclusion
that the game is not worth the
candle-this thing of being consid-
cred a town. They want theirs abol-
ished-or rather they want the town
government abolished.
They have decided according to
the tenor of communication offer
ed the county commissioners, and
literally signed-that the main
tenance of their government is too
costive. The town is running be-
hind, and metaphorically getting
in the soup
The three commissioners have
each been drawing 500 a month for
serving Rhyolite as town board.
They knocked off this compensa-
tion, thus saving the bailiwick $50
month, anyway.
They felt that they could go no
further in the matter Just now.
There are some $1,000 of bills
against the town which should be
settled first. 1t may be necessary
to levy a special tax to cover the
indebtedness.
