ELY CENTRAL HAS CONE
BACK INTO ITS OWN AGAIN
District Court Has Dismissed the Receiver and Mr..
MIIardTurns the Property Over to the Represent
alive of the Reorganization Committee

which has ever been handed down
in White Pine county:
This case is before the court
upon the application of defendant to
remove the receiver Heretofore ap-
pointed, the only ground urged in
support of this application being the
want of jurisdiction, or as the layman
would say, power, under the allegation
would in the complaint to make the
appointment in the first instance.
No question of discretion Is involved,
and If this court were convinced that
the court had jurisdiction to make
the appointment, but believed that
there was an abuse of discretion in
making such appointment, the court
could not, for that reason alone, in
terfere upon this application.
Giving the complaint the in
terpretation claimed for it by plan
tiff, 1t alleges, among other things,
that the defendant company is a
Delaware corporation, owning cer-
tain mining properties in White Pine
county, Nevada. which 1t was engag-
ed in working up to short time be-
fore the bringing of this suit; that
! the individual defendants are di-
rectors and officers of defendant cor
poration; that plaintiff is a stock
holder of defendant (and by defen-
dant We mean the corporation. as 1t
alone of the defendants is interested
in this application) and sues in his
Town behalf and in behalf of other
stockholders similarly situated who
may desire to Join in the suit; that
the board of directors of defendant
is composed of dummies who are
dominated and controlled by George
Graham Rice; that a scheme to or
gainize a new company to be called
the Ely Central Development COM
pany. to take over the property des-
cribed in the complaint, was being
put forward by Rice and the direc-
tors of the defendant, whereby 1t was
proposed that stockholders in de-
fendant company might become
stockholders In the development COM
pany by surrendering their stock in
defendant company and paying
twenty-five cents per share for stock
in the Development company, the
final payment to be made not later
than Dec 18th, 1910. The organiza-
tion of the new company was to have
been consummated upon the turning
in of said stock. making said pay
ment, and by the signing and filing
by the owners of majority of the
stock in defendant of their written
consent. This plan of reorganiza-
tion was put forward Nov. 5th, 1910.
1t is alleged in the complaint that the
stockholders in defendant company
are widely scattered over the United
States. There is no allegation that
defendant does not own property
elsewhere than in Nevada. Com
plant prays for an injunction and
for a receiver for the property in
Nevada, pending suit.
The theory of the plaintiff is that
the carrying out of the scheme out
lined as above would amount to a
fraud in law and in fact upon him
and other stockholders similarly
situated, who cannot or do not par

Her Property Offered for Sale
Under Name of Wrong Owner
and County Was on Defense
WOMAN PAYS ALL EXPENSES
ASSESSMENT WAS ILLEGAL, AD-
yERTISEMENT WAS FAULTY.
But THE OWNER TOOK THE
WORST OF 1T AND PAID UP.

Mrs. d. B. Topham, who is much
known as Belle London in the red
light district of Salt Lake was in The
district during the week to make
plotest against the sale OF her Alamo
rooming house property. Mrs. Top
ham only learned of the purchase of
this property by the county a short
time before she started for Ely. She
consulted a good attorney who ad-
vised her that the sale was illegal,
and that all she had to do was to
come here to the county commission
ers and demand that the property be
restored to her.
But Mrs. Topham did not do this.
She came to Ely. presented her case
to the commissioners and offered to
pay the taxes, the cost of advertis-
ing and the interest on all of 1t for a
quit claim deed to the Alamo. The
commissioners called upon District
Attorney McFadden for an opinion in
county advised the board not to
waste any time in the settlement as
proposed by Mrs. Topham; but take
her proposition instantly And the
commissioners acted very promptly
on the advice of the district attorney
And there were very good and CO.
gent reasons for the commissioners.
thus acting. In the first place the
assessment roll on which Mrs. Top
ham had been assessed for the Alamo
had been declared illegal by Judge
Brown. In the next place Mrs. Top
hams agent here is A. B. Witcher.
president of the Ely National Bank,
and Mrs. Topham showed to the
commissioners where she always kept
snug sum of money on deposit in
the bank. Mr.. Witcher, as her agent
taxes; but, on the other hand, as her
agent, 1t was required by law that he
be notified of her short-coming, il
there were any. He was not notifi-
ed; but the property of Mrs. N. p.
Tophan, not that of Mrs. d. b. Top
ham. was ADVERTISED for sale, and
who was to guess that this was the
property of his client
Witeher didn't guess it. and the
day came on There were people at
the sale who make a business of buy
ing snaps, among them some bright
attorneys of Ely These attorneys
saw the Alamo offered for sale and
smiled at the offering, and passed 1t
up. Passed up chance to buy $5,-
100 worth of property for $16O.
They realized that there was no au-
thority for the sale, and the result
was that the county had to take in
the Alamo for the amount of the
texes. The county could not have
given title to the property to any
body, and of course could not acquire
it for the reason that the county had
no right to offer it for sale. This
was the situation when the owner of
the property arrived here. and it was
up to the commissioners to make the
best bargain with her that they could.
She paid everything which could be
possibly asked. The county COM
missioners made very good
bargain with the lady from Salt
Lake. and the county is to be con-
graduated upon the good judgment
with which the commissioners pulled
1t out of bad hole
