IN THE DISTRICT COURT

The suit for $4,880 for alleged
breach of contract brought by

Wines & Flynn, of Halleck, was
resumed in District Court this
morning before Judge B. w. Cole

Flynn, the defendants in this &C.
ton.

alleged that on October 80, 1912,
they made a contract for 500 tons
of hay at Sc a ton and also that
the hay was to be taken from two
fields called the Thoroughbreds and
Sheridan Fields and the pasturage
was to be in the Murphy field. all
in Elko County.
O'Neil & CapeII allege d they
paid $500 on account but the next
day Wines & Flynn refused to abide
by the agreement and returned the
$500. The plaintiffs further al
lege that they had to buy hay of
Hunter & Banks in Elko at an
advance of $1,000. They claim
they had 308 cattle which have
went without feed for 10 days and
the shrinage alone will be $30sO.

pasture 1900 cattle on their own
property because they had no ac-
cess to Murphy Field which they

lay in feeding has caused serious
damage and loss. A judgment
for $4S80 is asked.

SOCIAL DANCE

Another evidence that Elko is

livery within the city limits. On

quest is granted a civil service ex.
animation will be held and the two
highest candidates appointed at 6
salary of $500 a year each. 1t il

authorities will consent to the
granting Of free delivery of mail ir

ernment requires all houses withir

WASHINGTON LETTER


Statuary Hall, as all visitors to
Washington know, is rather small
in dimensions, and as each state is
allowed to place images of two Of
her great men in this national hall
of fame, the place is getting pretty
we'll filled.
Having a limited space and to-
tai roster of 90 marble people to
dispose of, the Capitol employees
could do nothing else than place
the statues shoulder to shoulder
around the entire circumference of
the room so that the general effect
is that of a. giant ring of famous,
dignified, heroic-size statesmen en-
gagged in a perpetual game of Drop
the Handkerchief.
But one day this week to add to
the indignitIes that have already
been heaped upon the helpless
images the!e was great creaking
and painting and heaving heard at
the door, and presently the new
marble statue of Zacari;.L Chand-
Ter, of Michigan, inched its way
into the hall on rollers, urged by
sweating men with crowbars. The
statue is to be formally dedicated
this week.
Once the big piece of stone was
in the nall the question, was where
to place it. The capitol workmen
figured it out. By changing a sta
tue or two about. and jamming
them all up little closer togeth-
er, a space was created for the late
MIR Chandler.

ing the steamboat model held or

Of these old statues at being dis

direction of Chandler, who after al

RED SOx WILLING
 TO TRADE STEVE YERKES

Boston, Aug. 7-Another- break in the ranks of the Red Sox regulars who won She championship of the baseball world last October is pretty clearly in dicated by recent developments. If President MeAleer follows the advice of certain baseball men who have the right to offer suggestions to him. Steve Yerkes, the big-hearted and hard-hit- ting second baseman, will be traded.
 Wood, Bedient, Collins, Carrigan, Wagner, Gardiner, Hooper, Lewis, Speaker and Henriksen of the. men who made history at F>enway park and the Polo Grounds will probably be re- tained as the nucelus of the team for 1914 It is understood that Cady, Hall, Nunamaker and ,Engle are likely to figure Tn trades before next season.
 President McAIeera would undoubt- 5edly part from Yerkes with special re- luctance, as he considers him one of the finest men he has ever met and a great and game ball player as well. the fault of the rest of the team as his own, although 1t is admitted that de cidedIy- Steve has had an off year.
 As the situation has presented itself to McA1eer, the Red Sox must have more speed. Carrigan, Wagner, Gard ner, Lewis and also Engle are all of them, comparatively speaking, slow runners, and their speed will not tend to increase from year to year. Lack of lightning speed is in addition the one and only permanent objection to erkes, who, it is believed, would be a. success as one of the heavy hitters of a generally faster ball club than the Red Sox.

Four schooners, incfud- ing two of the largest, the Elena and the Irolita and the two smallest, the EIemah and the Ahmakola, and 10 sIoops were entered for the racing. Among the sloops were seven of the new 50-footers. Nearly all the yachts had to be lowed out to the start, which was fixed for 1o:3O a. n., at Brenton's Reef Lightship.
 / The Goelet-Astor cup race, because of its long and interesting history, IS now held to be one of the yachtins classics, had it's inception during the annual cruise of 1882 when Captain Ogden Goelet offered two trophies for schooners and s1oops for a race off Newport The race became so popu- lar and the cups were won by so many of the famous yachts that upon the death of Captain Goelet in 1898, the late Col. John Jacob Astor became a prize donator and for 3 years con tributed many valuable prizes of sill yer and gold. Through a provision in his will, the Astor cup race is per petuated, although the trophies this year are contributed by his son, Vim cent Astor.
