PUETT WINS FIRST ROUND

Yesterdays Independent told ex-
clusively of the trouble between j
W Puett and the S. P. Ry. over the
ownership and possession of a Ger.
tain tract Of land in the town of
Carlin. Mr. Puett was in Elko 10
day and congratulated The Inde.
pendent on the accuracy of the re-
port as published in this paper.
He is authority for the statement
that Judge Brown, legal advisor
for the S p in Nevada was in Car
lin yesterday and after sizing up
the situation said that the possess
ion of the property Of which Mr.
Puett had taken possession on last
Sunday was without flaw and he
asked as favor that Mr. Puett re.
lease the freight cars which he had
seized in order that they might be
used by the X. r. Co. Judge Brown
further promised that on looking
up the title deeds he would send an
adjuster to Carlin at an early date
to adjudicate the whole matter md
that in the meantime Puett's right
to the land in question would not
be disputed and employees of the
Company would not enter on said
land or interfere in any way until
the whole matter was settled in a
legal and satisfactory manner.

FIND CHARLTON RECORD

NHS LihO lnQepenQ-
eht Tor the year 1872 form one of
the most important records to be
had in the trial of Porter Charlton
now on trial in Italy for the murd-
er OF his wife at Lake Como, Italy
some years ago. Mary C Scott
Charlton was murdered by her hus-
band and he is now being tried for
his crime. The trial hHs been in
progress for some weeks and re.
Gently the prosecuting attorney
called for all the records in the life
OF the young woman. The Consul
General at San Francisco wrote to
County Recorder GrPathouse for n
certified copy of the record of the
blrth OF Mary CrittCndon Scott wko
was the murdered wife of Charlton.
A thorough search of the birth re-
cords of the county failed to reveal
any record of the woman's birth.
The Consul General was so inform
ed.
This morning Recorder Great
house received another letter from
the Italian Consul who said the
woman was born in July, 1872. The
old records were again searched
but no birth records were found
prior to 1875. But in the Record
er's office are the files of the Elko
papers and Mr. Greathouse found
the following paid birth notice in
the EIko Weekly Independent of
Saturday. July I3, 1872:
"BoRN-In Elko, July 7, 1872
to the wife Of H. II. Scott, a
daughter"
1t will be observed that in this
notice the name Of the daughter is
not given, but without a doubt this
daughter was the Mary C Scott
whose bir:h record the Italian au-
thorities are so anxious to obtain.
The Italian Consul at San Francisco
was today informed by Mr. Great
house that there was no official
county record of the woman's birth
and that the only possible record
was the birth notice in the Inde-
pendent, which of course is not
official. in a legal sense.
II is probable that the Italian
Consul General will have a photo
graprr take a picture of the page
Of the Independent containing the
5 Oft girls birth notice and that
this notice will be forwarded to
Italy to form a part of the evidence
in the great trial now in progress.
In all its long career the Indc-
pendent has been Elko's one big
and best newspaper and il anything
ever happened the public was sure
to get ALL the news if they read
the Independent. When great gov
crnments like Italy have to rely
on the Independent for their in
Formation as they have to do in the
Porter Charlton case il shows in
what confidence this paper is held
throughout the whole world. Other
papers have come and gone in Elko
but the Independent goes on for
ever, live, progressive and leading
all the papers in this end Of Nevs.

causes of tight money, Mr.. Levy said,
was this absorption Of huge sums

He pointed out that there now is a
balance of $4,000, 600 in the Treas
ury, and there arc iu addition $40
600. 0Ou of Panama bonds that should
have been sold months ago.
This would create q surplus of
$4,000. 900. Mr. Levy argued that a
working balance Of $4,000, 000 was
sufficient and all other funds should
be put i'm the banks for the benefit OF
the people.
