BIG WAGES FOR LAWYERS

Friday after hearing evidence as
to the amount of work performed
nv the firm of Green. Mack & Heer
Judge Langan allowed the sum of
$50. 900, less $l2. 500, which has
already been drawn by the lawyers.
They set up the claim Of fighting
over forty cases in four years.
Judge Jones and Attorney Stefan
of Virginia testified as to the
reasonableness of the sum asked.
Judge Langan stated that the
money was not available and that
they would have to wait their turn.
They agreed to this arrangement.
1t wOnld be interesting to learn
how much the layers have received
in proportion to the depositors
from the State Bank. Could the
sum paid the lawyers be figured it
would about wipe out the debts
and have given the depositors
dollar for dollar. 1t is evidently
far better to be a lawyer than a de-

THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER

OCCASIONALLY it becomes the duty
of practical editor to give the
very intelligent and impractical
people who are always demanding
an ideal newspaper very common
sense reason why it will never be
published.
And the reason is based on few
questions like these. says the
Boston Globe:
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal minister?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal college president?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
OF an ideal doctor?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal banker?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal merchant?
Wesare decidedly of the opinion
that loud and emphatic no" is
the answer to each question.
Why?
Because the Representatives of
the calling named are all human.
with the usual number Of faults
and virtues. And editors, being
human, are in the same class
Therefore, when the world is
pcoped by angels and the rews.
papers are controlled by arch
angels, we shall see the ideal news
paper, and not until then.

OLD STAGE DRIVER
BROKEN DOWN

Frank Carpenter, aged II years,
and an old stage driver, who has
driven stages in the early days in
every state east of the Missouri
river, came into Elko yesterday
and was in u pitiful condition, aside
from his age and being broken
down he has contracted severe
cold and here is some fear that it
will turn into pneL..,onia. He was
taken care of by Constable Oudcr-
kirk AMI the citizens of Elko,
given what attention he needed. a
ticket TO Reno and some money.
He claims to have friends in Reno
who will assist him 70 reach
California where he can be taken
to hospital in a lower altitude.
He has many interesting letters in
his possession. some connecting him
with Mark Twain in the early days
of stage coach life between Carson
and Virginia City; he has a good
memory and tells some very in
tcresting experiences of the early
days in the west. In 1858 he
crossed the plains with an OK
team. The old gentleman is
suffering considerably and seems
to be in considerable pain, but in
sists on going through to his
friends. He was neatly dressed
and gentleman in every sense of
the word and seemed very grateful
for the assistance he received at
The hands of the Elko people. He
has many newspaper write ups
carrying his portrait and bio
graphy as early history in Nevada
and the west in general. He went
west on No. 5 last night.

SMlNDLER GETS SIXTY
DAYS IN COUNTY JAIL

w. Fl. Vedder pleaded guilty
in Justice Dunn's court Saturday
to obtaining money under false
pretenses and was given sentence
Of sixty days in the county Jail.
Nedder is the fellow who has
swindled number of officers be-
tween here and Laramie. Wyo. by
claiming that he was a deputy who
was looking for convicts who cs-
'aped from the Wyoming penitcn-
tiary a few weeks ago. 1t has de-
veloped by letter received by
Sheriff Lamb from the warden of
the Wyoming penitentary that
Vedder really assisted in capturing
one convict and then he started
westward and worked the swindle
along the lines, borrowing various
sums on the strength of kilograms
and papers which he had, indicat-
ing that he was really acting under
authority from the Wyoming
officials. He secured $40 from
Sheriff Lamb here, but that officer
made an investigation and found
that Vedder was working a
swindIing game and had him
arrested in Reno. .-Humbold Star,

An account of moonlight duel
between two officers, while two

Il saw a young Turkish officer
at the hospital at Rjeka who had
just been chopped almost to pieces
by sabre cuts. His forehead was
split open. his throat was cut and
there were deep cuts on his breast
and arms. He was a young man
who had been in command of an
OUTPOST before Tarabosh. He had
ridden out under fire and defied
the MOntenegrins.
"He called on the hravcst of
them TO come out and fight him in
single combat. A veteran an old
officer, with white hair, rode out
and accepted the challenge.

would do all they could for him.
They took a cigar and a drink
with him and some of them later

.BATTLESHIP NEVADA
THE GREATEST OF WARSHIpS

When fair sponsors burst bottles
OF champagne over the bows of the
battleShips o lahoma and Nevada.
the latest additions to the United
States navy, and these vessels slide
down the runways into the seas,
there will he floated the greatest
warships ever constructed, or
building according to the belief of
officials of the Navy Department.
Powerful in armor and the only
vessels OF the Rinds 10 the world To
carry three fourteen.inch guns in
the one turret, the ships will
represent the best thought of both
branches Of the service and will
marx the elimination of the
rosiest dreams of shipbuilders.
When the New York and Texas
were authorized it was thought the
zenith of modern battIeship build
ing had heen almost reached, but
since the acceptance of the plan for
the Oklahoma and Nevada the
authorities now see even greater
ships are possible and the novel
methods of construction and
armament will start development
along new lines.
Not only will the Oklahoma and
Nevada be as speedy as, but they
are 50 designed to give a better
account Of themselves in all direc-
tions, in any engagement in which
they may participate. than others
in the navy.
These latest vessels will be 800
tons heavier than their Immediate
predecessors. the New York and
Texas, thCir length over sll to be
5S3 feet; beam 90 feet 2-S inches,
mean draft % feet 6 inches, on
which will be displacement of 27.
SEQ tons. The engines of the two
new vessels will differ, the Curtis
type being used on the Nevada
and the reciprocal engine being
used on the Oklahoma. The
estimated speed will be 2Ok knots.
The armament of. the Oklahoma
and Nevada will consist of ten
fourteen-inch guns carried in four
turrets. Oi the quarter deck will
be a twO-Yun turret and astern of
that a thrCc.gun turret This ar
rangcmcnt, il is declared at the
Navy Department, will give a con-
centration of fire much superior 20
that of the New York and Texas,
which will be mounted with five
two-gun turrets when completed.
