With the intention of developing
large reclamation project out of the
Geyser ranch in northern Lincoln
county, J. Hay Smith, president of
the Nevada Land and Irrigation COM
pany, arrived Tuesday night from
Oakland.
In company with A. B. Colwell and
Commissioner C. c. Caperton, Mr..
Smith left Thursday for Geyser, to
arrange for the segregation of the
land, and the plating of the main
bitches and laterals. Mr.. Colwell has
received the contract for doing all
the engineering wark.
1t is the belief of reputable engi-
neers that sufficient water can be
obtained from gushers at Geyser to
irrigate more than ten hundred thou
sand acres of land. all of which is ex-
ertmely susceptible to cultivation.

ENGINEER AT COPPER FLAT
GOES CUNNING AFTER ADXER-
SARY BECAUSE HE PRESENT
ED HIM WITH BLACK EYE.

Accused of assault with a deadly
weapon A. Fitzpatrick an engineer
for the Nevada Consolidated at Cop
per Fiat, was taken into custody last
Wednesday by Constable David Nc
Lean on complaint of Fred H. Givens
a member of the same train crew,
who declares that Fitzpatrick
threatened to take his life. The de-
fendant was released upon furnish
ing bonds for $500.
The grand jury Investigated the
shooting affray last Friday, but were
unable to obtain sufficient evidence
to justify the returning of an indiet-
ment against Fitzpatrick. The de-
fendants trial was set for Friday by
Justice Cartwright, but the hearing
was postponed until tomorrow, a
doctors certificate having been pre-
sented to the court for the purpose
of showing that Fitzpatrick would
be unable to appear on account of
illness.
An alteration between the rail
readers over some details of their
work prompted quarrel in which
Fitzpatrick received the worst of the
encounter, displaying pair of black
ened eyes as evidence of Given's
knowledge of pugilism.
Unwilling to bear the stigma of a
defeated fighter, Fitzpatrick secured
revolver at later period and after
threatening Givens' life, it is claimed
discharged two shots in the air,
while Givens was endeavoring to
smash all previous records for the
sprints. The complaining witness
characterized the weapon which
Fitzpatrick had in his possession as

designation would be in appropriate
Fitzpatrick later entered a plea OF
guilty to assault with intent to do
bodily harm and was fined 800.

Baseball Meeting Awakens
Interest in National Pastime,
With Prospects Favorable
MANAGER AND CAPTAIN NAMED
FRED WAITS Is GETTING LINE
OF MANY PROMISING PLAYERS
WHO WILL FILL WEAK PLACES
IN LINEUP.

East Ely will not be off the base
ball map this season, but will take
the field with a strong aggregation
that will be capable of coping on the
diamond with any nine in the district
as soon as the national pastime can
demand it's share or attention.
Considerable interest was shown
locally in the baseball question at a
meeting held last Thursday night,
and the prospects for signing up some
fast players are extremely favorable.
J. II. Fulmer was the choice for
temporary manager, and Fred Waits,
the well known slab artist, was elect
ed captain of the Nevada Northern
team
What kind of a team is the rail-
road town going to have this year?
This interrogatory has been frequent
| ly asked during the last two weeks
by enthusiasts of the game, and with
out any attempt at flattery 1t is the
general belief that the prospects for
getting together a bunch of pennant
winners could not be excelled. The
team will be built around several of
the older and more experienced play
ers as a nucleus. Captain Waits has
been corresponding with a number
of young stars, who are highly tout
ed in western baseball circles, and
hopes to have them in a railroad uni
form. when the season is actually
ushered in.
Spring has not came" Yesterday
was pusillanimous day. There can
be no doubt as to the proper appli-
cation of the word. 1t ought to do
right we'll when hung onto a cheap,
disagreable day. captain Waits
had anticipated earlier in the week
on arranging a practice game with
the Roughneeks In Ely, but the

of stability which interferred materi-
ally with plans of the East Ely lead
er. If weather conditions are propi-
tious next Sunday, the first real game
of the season will be staged.
A valuable acquisition to the rail-
road nine is Krugen. who performed
in creditable manner for the
champions from Copper Flat last
year. He is as cool as an ice wagon
on fire, and no matter how big a
reputation the barsman may have
who faces him, the big Dutchman
pitches as though he was opposed
to a bunch of amateurs. He has a
world of control. and finishes on the
firing line like house ablaze.

Independent Railway Bankers
in the East Come to the Aid
of Western PaCifiCe
BRANCH ROADS ARE PLANNED
FEEDER LINE THROUGH DEEP
CREEK WILL OPEN Up RICH
MINING DISTRICTS IN WHITE
PINE COUNTY.

With its financial difficulties end
ed for the present through the time
ly aid of Independent Eastern rail
road bankers, the Western Pacific
will soon put into effect plans for the
construction of branch roads to open
up mineral territory of recognized
worth tributary to the main line, and
one the most important of these in
all probability viii be a feeder
through Deep Greek and into Elko
and White Pine counties for the pur-
pose of tapping several rich mining
districts.
The working out of plans for the
construction of feeders In Nevada
and California is yet to be completed
and probably will not be for several
months. The most important
branch, however, will be rushed to
completion this year. 1t Is not i'm
probable that among the new lines
to be constructed during the next
eight months will be one giving the
Western Pacific an entry into Reno.
The Western Pacific has regained
its financial footing after being upon
the verge of receivership. Without
the proper finances the head officials
have been unable to build up the
road. Tapping a territory rich in
promise, and possibilities, it has been
unable to take advantage of its
opportunities.
The lack of branch lines has been
one of the most serious drawbacks; I;
the inability because of lack of funds
to establish limited trains between
the east and coast points and to add
to its equipment have been two more
The Western Pacific now promises to
develop into a transcontinental rail
path that will place 1t in a position
to enter the most vigorus competi-
tion with Its competitors, the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe.
1t is definitely known that three
parties of surveyors were traversing
the country between Ely and Deep
Creek four months ago in search OF
feasible routes for branches to place
number of old time camps that
would enable several practically
abandoned mining camps in this
section to regain their former pres
tige as producers. One party was
operating in the White Horse dis
trict, while another crossed into
Steptoe valley. while the third de-
voted its energies to the deep Greek
country.

Murder Case in
Court Monday
HARRY Heller WILL BE PLACED
ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE ON
THE CHARGE OF KILLING
JENNIE FITZGERALD.

VIII two criminal cases demanding
attention. Harry Heher. who has
been indicted by the grand jury for
the killing of his paramour, Jennie
Fitzgerald. a denizen of the tender
loin section last December while he
was on a protracted spree. will be
tried in the district court tomorrow
morning on the charge of murder.
Shortly after the conyening of
court by Judge Coleman, the trial
jury will be empaneled from the list
of fifty names drawn on the trial
jury, who have been summoned from
different parts of the county during
the last two weeks BY Sheriff Grain
and his deputies.
Heher is charged with having beat
en- the Fitzgerald woman to death
during a drunken debauch, following
quarrel.
The fight is said to have occurred
in a cabin in the rear of the Annex
saloon. Learning that the passing
of the deceased was clouded with
suspicious circumstances. Coroner
Cartwright empaneled jury TO con-
duct an investigation.
The verdict of the jury was that
the woman had come to her death
through natural causes. The men,
bers of that body merely followed the
recommendation of the physicians
who held an autopsy over the body
of the deceased.
The jury also recommended that
| Heller be held for assault and bat
terry. Before Heller coudl be given a
hearing in the justice court for the
minor offense, a complaint was sworn
out against him on the charge of
murder. He was held to await the
action of the grand jury by Judge
Cartwright and was later indicted by
that body
