OVER MISFORTUNE

Mr. n. B. Kyker, OF Sparks, wife
of a machinist formerly employed
there before the strike, was removed
from the Sisters hospital Tuesday
afternoon and taken to the county
Jail for better care and attention.
The unfortunate woman is suffer-

from worry over the strike situation
and its result in sending her husband
far from her in search for work.
The family has residend in Sparks
many years and enjoyed the respect
of that community.
N. B. Kyker, the husband. left
some time ago to look for work. He
was located Tuesday in Kansas and
will arrive here Thursday.
Mrs. Kyker's condition did not
cause apprehension until Sunday
night when she was brought from
Sparks to the hospital in Reno. She
became somewhat violent, singing
constantly in an incoherent way and
DR.. Samuels was called. He pro-
nounced the case of acute dementia
and advised her removal TO the
county jail to guard against any
possible dangerous outbreak.
Sheriff Ferrel went to the hospital

MORE CHARGES IN
MINING SQUABBLE

The very much involved mining
litigation of Sol Camp and d. H.
Skea against the Indian Consolidated
Mines company was given an airing
Tuesday before Judge Moran in Reno,
but it only served to let loose con-
siderable i~ll-feelings between the
parties. After some interesting spar
ring between counsel for each side,
ii "a agreed TO set the matter for
further hearing on February 10 when
there will be a week, If necessary. to
thoroughly thresh out the difficulties.
Counsel for the defendants Tues
day morning charged that Camp and
Skea were but dummies. so to speak,
and were being used in an attack on
NJ. c. Scully. The other side re-
sponded by demanding the presence
of Scully or at least the production
of deposition.
1t is somewhat difficult to under
stand all the ramifications of the
case. Thus far it has brought out an
injunction on one side and the arrest
of Camp and Skea on the other. The
latter were later released in Love
lock.

HOW DEMOCRATS LOST
CONTROL OF HOUSE

The failure of w. II. Kearns Il
contest the election of H. B.. Bulmer
as member of the Nevada assembly
of Storey county, it now develops was
responsible for the loss to the Demo
Gratis at the last session of the legis-
lature of not only the numerical con
troll, but the disposition of all The
legislative patronage.
Kearns was elected, it now appears
but by reason of his failure to con
test the election of Bulmer, who re-
ceiyed the election certificate, the
Democrats were one shy of a major
ity and so limped through the ses-
sion under the Republican organiza-
ton of the house.
The revelation was mace this week
before the supreme court in Carson
in the Springmeyer-Baker contest.
The votes of Storey county were be-
ing counted and the court admitted
four ballots which had been rejected
by the election judges in Storey
county because of alleged defective
marking. Bulmor was elected by
two votes, according to the certificate
of the judges, but these four rejected
votes were for Kearns, the Demo
, cratic candidate, and had they been
admitted Kearns would have been
declared elected.
The action of the supreme court
will not affect the Legislative situa-
ton. The Bulmer-Kearns vote is not
j%udicially noted in the Springmeyer-
Baker contest, besides the legislative
session is over
Only in the event of an extra ses-
sion will the development be of i'm
portance. when it would secure the
control for the Democrats. But a
special session is unlikely. Even at
that 1t would be necessary for Kearns
to institute a contest, and 1t is prob
able that he is now prevented from
that action by lapse of time.

thority, telegraphed not to start the
work already planned but to start a
crosscut in another part of the mine

(Symmes) was not more competent
to prospect the mine than a man who
had never seen the workings to get
another superintendent. He request
ed Shaw to put the matter of where
work should be carried on before a
full meeting of the directors.
SHAW has retarded work" said
Mr.. Symmes, when advised where
there was ore. In the Mexican l re-
quested that the water be lowered

small pump, and eventually public
opinion forced the officers of the

plans to that end are about COM
