which had been killed in Spring val
ley about two weeks ago by Henry
Yelland.
Road Supervisor John Watson on
Tuesday related how he purchased
the huge animal from Mr. Yelland
for exhibition purposes, and in
arranging the lion for mounting
had removed the bones from each
foot at the ankle joint. He told how
he placed the bones in a sack to-
gether with lot of hay, which had
been used in stuffing the skin by Mr..
Yelland. and had placed the sack In
garbage can In the rear of his
Office.
A lad by the name of Kempher
noticed that the hay protruded out
of the sack, and desiring to furnish
treat for his donkey proceeded to
empty the contents of the sack. His
progress was arrested by the 'horri-
flying spectacle" of what he believed
was the hand and foot of some hui
man being. from which the fingers
and toes had been partly removed.
The boy went in terrified haste to the
sheriffs Office, where he reported the
discovery
The officers investigated the prem
ises, and were not long in discerning
that the bones were not those of a
human being. much to the chagrin
and disappointment of those sensa-
tionally inclined who had attempted
to make a great deal out of the af-
fair. for which there was little
foundation.

'RepaidKin
With Treachery
ITINERANT MINER RANSACkS
TRUNKS OF STRANGER IN OS-
CEOLA WHO HAS FURNISHED
HIM WITH FOOD AND LODGING

After having been provided with
food and furnished with bed at
Osceola, when he was in distress
financially, Henry Wood, claiming to
be miner from Newhouse, Utah, is
now occupying a cell in the county
Jail, because he repaid the courtesies
that had been extended him by
breaking into the trunk of the man
who had befriended him and steal
ing numerous articles of value.
Woods was on his way to Ely in
search of employment. and related
a pitiful story of being poverty
stricken to Russell Moyle at Osceola.
Moyle and his partner, George Chey-
ney allowed the stranger the use of
their cabin, and arranged for him to
secure a meal in a local restaurant.
Moyle appeared at his quarters
about four hours afterwards and
noticed that Cheyney's cabin had
been thoroughly ransacked, and that
practically all articles of wearing ap-
parel had been stolen. Suspectine
Woods of the crime, Moyle rode to

Snow Brings Joy
And Prosperity
BREAKING OF LONG PERIOD OF
DROUTH CAUSES STOCK RAIS-
ERS AND FARMERS OF STATE
TO REJOICE OVER FALL.

All White Pine county smiled
last Friday It was joyous, jubil-
ant smile over the safety of the
county's products. The long drouth
which was becoming more porten-
tous of suffering, and heavy fl
nancial loss was broken when the
| light rains and small snow falls dur
ing the week turned into a general
snowstorm Thursday night, which
soaked the ground thoroughly.
About six inches of snow fell in
Ely, while the higher hills are
blanketed with a white mantle. 1t is
the cause of much satisfaction to
agriculturalists as they had begun to
fear for their irrigation supply dur
ing the summer months.
The stock raisers got consider
able benefit out of the snow storm.
The distress among live stock men
has been widespread for some days.
and the snow covered hills will sup
ply them with the water which they
needed so badly.
The officials of the Steptoe Smelt-
ing company at MeGill are also wear
ing a broad grin, as the recent pre-
cipitation assures them sufficient
water to keep all sections Of the con-
eentrator at full capacity.
The dry spell was the most alarm
ing in recent years due to the fact
that there had been no soaking SHOWS
during the winter to permit the wat
er to percolate through the soil. The
winter supply In the mountains was
also extremely light, and this render
ed the source of water extremely
doubtful.
1t rained throughout California
Friday and the farmers of that state
are likewise jubilant. According to
reports the downpour in general
throughout the basin states, extend
ing clear into Arizona and far into
the middle west The storm extended
into the southern end of the state,
and Goldfield and Tonopah were both
visited by heavy hainfalls.
Barney McNulty, who is in charge
of the ranger station in Spring valley
reports that six inches of snow has
fallen in that section of the country.
1t is estimated that the amount of
snow on Berry creek as a result of
the recent storm will aggregate IL
inches. The government rangers are
of the opinion that a conservative
estimate of the snowfall in the Shell
creek range would be five feet.
The rain guage at the forest reserve
headquarters indicate the melting OF
about three-tenths of an inch of
melted snow since the first of the
month. which is equivalent to eight
inches of snow. The fall has un-
doubtedly been greater as no allow
ance has been made for evaporation.

AttorneyC. A.EddyFiles Petition
to Be Named as Administrator
Offstate of Demetrius Terizis
WANTS THOS. KOPAS REMOVED
ASSERTS THAT GREEK CONSUL
IN SAN FRANCISCO HAS
AUTHORIZED HIM TO HANDLE
ESTATES OF COUNTRYMEN.

Declaring that he has been the only
person authorized by the Greek
consul in San Francisco to appear in
any court in Nevada to handle es-
tates of subjects of the Grecian king
dom, Attorney C. A. Eddy filed an
application in the clerks Office Thurs
day asking that the appointment of
Thomas Kopas as administrator of
the estate of Demetrius Terzis be re-
voked, and that he be named to act
in that capacity in place of Kopas.
The petitioner asserts that under
the terms of a certain treaty entered
into between the United States and
Greece, the nearest consul from the
latter country has the exclusive privi-
lege of administering estates of his
fellow countrymen. Eddy claims
that Richard De Fontana, the Greek
consul in San Francisco, has desig-
mated him as his personal represen-
/ tative in Nevada.
The Terzis estate figured quite
prominently in the local courts two
weeks ago, when G. F. Boreman. at
torney for the absent heirs. protest
ed against the granting of an order
by Judge Coleman directing the ad-
ministrator to accept $3.50 from the
Steptoe Valley Smelling company in
full settlement of all damages for
causing the death of the deceased.
Terzis was killed on an open floor
in the coneentrator over the rails of
one of the ore bins by being smother
ed to death through having ore
dumped on him from car above.
The attorney for Kopas. the admin
istrator, declared 1t was the invari-
able custom to give warning, and
that the condition of Terzis' body in
dicates that he was resting rather
than working at the time the fatal
accident occurred. The administra-
tor expressed a desire to accept
$3.50 in place of embarking upon a
long and tedious litigation, the re-
suit of which would be exceedingly
doubtful. as the estate is without
funds.
The protest against the acceptance
of the compromise alleges that no
warning was conveyed to Terzis in
order that he might have an oppor-
tunnty to reach place of safety
from injury. 1t also states that no
effort was made to ascertain whether
any men were at work before dump
ing, and that the machinery of mill In
operation made such a loud noise,
rendering IL difficult to hear a warn
ing signal, such as the foreman says
he gave.
1t is claimed that the amount the
Steptoe company has expressed a will
lingness to pay is entirely inadequate
as compromise payment for the re-
lease of the corporation from further
liabilities.
