SAYS OLD LADY
 WAS DEFRAUDED
 OF $65,OOO PLOT

Claiming that he has been defrauded out of a 52 acre farm worth $65,00O on the outskirts of this city, Will liam H. Thorpe Of 220 South Main street appeared in the Superior court this morning to testify in his suit against his brother, Samuel Thorpe. Judge Holcomb heard testimony.
 It is alleged that the property be- longed to Mary J. Thorpe, mother of the plaintiff until a short time before her death in December, 1911. The old lady was said to be of weak mind. in feeble condition and incompetent to transact business. While in this state, the plaintiff claims Samuel Thorpe induced the old lady to con- vey without any financial considera- ton a deed to the property to Jeremiah Richardson. The latter is said to have been only dummy in the deal and s he subsequently conveyed the property to Samuel Thorpe.
 According to the complaint. the de- fendant withheld the deeds of the transfer until after Mrs. Thorpe's death. Some time before her death Mrs. Thorpe had been adjudged in competent by the Probate court and had never been restored to her rights. William Thorpe wants the court to set aside the conveyance of the property, which is located in Wayne street.
 The trial was still on at press hour

BATTLE NEAR ADRIANOPLE
 SETTLES WAR

Paris, Oct. 22.-That diplomats be- lleve the Balkan war will practically be settled by the battle looked for within a few days between the Turks Adrianople, was confirmed here, to- day. on high authority.
 If the Turks are defeated, it was said. their power may be considered finally broken. If they are victorious, on the other hand, it was predicted that Servia and Greece, as well as Bulgaria, will have to stop fighting since they cannot hope to succeed where their more powerful ally has failed.
 Military experts considered the skirmishing which has occurred thus far as indecisive, though unquestion- small forces. it is said, have been completely wiped out on both sides. Much of the fighting, according to despatches from the front, had been hand to hand.
 Stories of the seizure by Greeks of the Turkish island of Lemnos at the entrance to the Dardanel1es and of the annihilation by Turks of a small Bulgarian frontier, are believed au- thentic although not positively con- firmeC1.
 What good judges believe is a to1- erably reliable estimate places the number of killed on both sides in all the Turko- Turko-Bul- garian, Turko-Servian and Turko- Greek engagements since Montenegro declared war at about 2.5O0.
 KILLED IN WRECK. Turkish soldiers were killed and many injured in the wreck of a military train on the Smyrna-Aidin Railroad, according to Constantfnople des- Jumped the track and plunged down an embankment, it was said.

Twice during the night the train had been somewhat jolted at switching points but the shock was not felt by the patient asleep in the private car.

SOUTHERN NEVADA

A correspondent of the Ely Re-.
cord gives the following interest
ing information about the muddy
River valley in Clark county:
The Riverside Dairy and Product
Co. on the upper Muddy river. in.
Clark county. is putting through
one of the largest dairy farms in
the state. Mr.. Gary and other Los
Angeles capitalists, as taken over
the interests Of the Moapa Land
and Livestock company. of several
thousand acres and a large amount
of water, but not suffi cicnt to pro-
perly irrigate all their land.
To overcome this they are de-
veloping water from springs,
several hundred inches of which
they have secured and expect to
put in a,Iarge drilling rig to drill
for artesian. water. They have a
man of large epxerinece on tie
ground and the rig will be put
to work as soon as it can be-
assembled.
They are leasing part of their
property on 5 and 10 year leases,
each Lessee to have from 20 to 60
head of the best milk cows obtain
able. At the home ranch there
will be about 800 head under the
management of Mr. Gerry of Los
Angeles, who Thoroughly under
stands the dairy business in all it's
branches.
To accommodate this stock they
are building an 80 foot cement
barn, creamery, ice plant and all
the necessary buildings to take
care of business of this magni-
tude. They have ore $50 ton silo
in operation and expect to build
others as they are needed.
This climate is ideal for an en-
terprise of this kind. as they get six
cuttings of alfalfa per year, which
averages from ID to 2 tons per
cutting. Ensllage, corn and all
the maizes grow to perfection,
also many of the root crops that
are good milk producers.
At this time, November oath,
we are picking ripe tomatoes from
the vine. not having been enough
frost to kill so tender plant as
the tomato. This valley is one of
the great producers of the canta-
loupe, coming in as they do just
as the Imperial crop is all gone.
They command good price,
$3.50 to $500 per acre not being an
uncommon yield. Old Nevada is
just coming into her own. The
time of the knccker is past.
