The long drawn out suit Of Dee
Clark against the Fletcher CLARK
Mining and Milling Company and
the North Star Mining Company Of
Jarbidge is still in the courts and
may be for a while yet, Some time

1887 against the property by de-
fault on the part Of the company.
Other claims aggregated about
sI3.0 900 it is said and the Sheriff
sold the properties to salty the

Clark Company is corporation
foreign to this state and none of
it officials were served in the pre-
vious suit. The company now en-
tiers court and asks that the de-
fault be re-opened. The hearing
will be before Judge Taber next
Monday and a settlement or COM
promise may be reached.

STORIES OF THE PAST

When Lou Henderson was sheriff
OF Elko County he took the midday
train for the coast to bring back a
fugitive from justice, who had been
arrested in the big town down by
the Sounding Sea. He was well
known to the railroad men and was
a jolly good fellow in those days.
as he is today. He was the cynosure
OF all eyes because, perhaps. he was
the unconscious recipient Of various
little attentions from the train
crew.
\ party of convivial English
men of a~ristocratic mein were en-
route to Japan from New York.
Lou was an object of much curios-
ity to them. After he had lunch
in the diner he repaired to the
smoking compartment for his after
dinner Havana.
About a dozen of the Engishmen
had preempted the smoker. Lou,
however managed to slide into a
seat when the most important look
ing parsonage in the car approach
ed and said Pardon me Sir, but
we are told you are high constable
Of a p~rincipality in the eastern part
of the state. We have read in the
papers of the wild and woody
west; OF the de~speradnes and bad
men in the west and as you are a
small man we are curious to know
how you manage to cope with such
terocious characters" At first Lou
was not not disposed TO give them
any information. However they
grew insistent as they crowded
around him he said: Muscle
does not count for much in this
country. a sharp eye and a quick
hand is all that is required. He
quickly and deity drew his six
shooter with the remark lone OF
you throw your pencil to the CELL
ing and see me cut it in two before
it reaches the floor" There was a
wild scramble to the door and the
way those Englishmen fell over
each other in getting out was q
sight worth seeing. Needless to
say they admired the man of nerve
from a safe distance the rest OF
the journey.

ed. Then the Tuscarora Mines
Company filed an adverse claiming
that some of the land which Wheel

the Tuscarora Company. Today
the plaintiff through Attorne, S
James Dysart and Otto Williams

murrer to the complaint. One of
the main grounds on which the
demurrer is based is that the Tus-

Puzzling Relies Of Ancient Ways Of
Living In ireland.
Curious underground passages called
"souterrains'' exist in many parts OF
Ulster. They are built or dug a few
feet below the ground and laid out
with chambers and possible hiding
places or boiling holes, according TO
more OF less well defined plans. They
are no large enough for n man TO
stand upright in. He would have to
crawl on his hands and knees to ex.
plore them or to make $ of them in
any way.
Some districts are |honeycombed with
them. What could they have been
used for? Not for living in, though
primitive pottery has been found In
them; not for the dead. though some
Etrrscan burial places were not dis.
similar, because no bones have been
found; possibly for refugees. Some Of
the souterrains are hfty to seventy feet
long.
Irish and local tradition attribute
them TO the fairies. the good people.
