JAMES BRADY, CORRESPONDENT
new YORK BROKER, ARRESTED
GNT OUT FALSE NEWS ABOUT
THE NORTH STAR SHIPMENTS
SIGNED BRADY TO THE TELEGRAM
TRIAL SET FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON

to fall into the hands of S. II. Brady.
With regard to the charge placed
against Brady, the telegram was
false in every particular, according
to the complaining witnesses. Super
intendent Brady declared that he had
not shipped a car of 500 ore, and
also denied that S1700 assay had
been made. I'VE do not take our
assays in that manner" declared
Brady. THE telegram was sent that
the New York brokers might manipu-
late the stock market The sender
OF the message had his instructions
as to what 1t should contain. On the
arrival of the dispatch in New York
the broker receiving il would place
It on exhibition. at the same time de
claring that he had received inside
information from Brady of the West
End, meaning me, and the speculat
ors in the shop would take il fol
granted that | hau sent the infor
nation.
Not only does this practice injur'
every mining company mentioned
but ii also serves to injure the de
velopment of the district. II shoult
be stopped and intend to see tina
the case is vigorously prosecuted.

RECEIVES REBATE
FOR PAYMENT OF
LIQUOR LICENSE
IMPORTANT RULING OF GOVERN
MENT RESULTS IN PROFIT
FOR ToNoPAH

Uncle Sam is not such an migrate
full gentleman after all nor does he
seek to enforce unjust laws. Over
a year ago revenue collector visited
Tonopah and collected liquor licenses
from a number of restaurants and
cafes in this city. In several in
stances the eating establishments
we're merely providing liquor for
their guests for an accommodation
and would procure the orders from
nearby bars. "a.
The collector called at the Mizpah
grill and secured $25 from Alex
Dewar for license, and also col
! lected $3.50 as a fine for the pro
prietors not having secured a license
previously. All drinks served in the
Mizpah grill were secured from the
motel bar, and no profit was made
by the grill owners. This was ex'
planned to the collector who stated
that although the proceedings ap-
peared unjust, it was his duty to
enforce the collections.
Dewar paid the license and ther
protested to the government Officials
AZ the head of that department. To
day he received a letter in reply e
his protests, and enclosed was
government check for the amount
Of $3.50. The letter stated that pro
test was well received and that al
the grill did not advertise the hand
ling Of liquors. Il should not be b
expected 10 pay the license.
