WOULD REMOVE
DAMAGE SUIT.
ToNoPAH MINING COMPANY
SEEKS TO THROW CASE
INTO FEDERAL COURT.

The fight to remove the 100
damage suit filed a short time ago
by Mike kodak against the Tonopah
Mining company to the federal court
was opened in Judge Moran's depart
ment of the district court this morn
ing when the motion for removal
filed last week by counsel for the
company was argued and submitted.
The motion for removal was resisted
by the attorneys for Kolak.
Kolak was machine drller EN-
ployed in the Tonopah mine and was
injured last February. He claims his
injuries resulted from carelessness on
the part of the mining company and
filed his suit in the district court
here.
The mining company asserts that
the district court has no jurisdiction
because it is an action to adjudicate
the rights of two foreign residents Of
the state. 1t is alleged in their peti
tion that kodak, the plaintiff, is
subject of the emperor of Austria anC
resident of Nevada, and that th'
Tonopah Mining company is citizei
of the state Of Delaware because
is incorporated under the laws o
that state
Counsel for kodak asserted that tn
petition was not signed or yerifie
by any officer Of the company as re
quired by law; that by filing a dc
murrer to the complaint the minin
company waived its right to ask fo
removal and that the bond for r.
, moval is not in proper form.

VETERAN OF NEVADA PIONEER DAYS
SUBMITS TO A MAJOR OPERATION

jolly and pleasant greeting was so
well known and appreciated by his /
friends that an Invitation to
"Pearly's" place Of business was
hailed as a treat indeed,
Many game of poker and big
Indian" was played in Pearly's old
time resort by Jim Butler and his
close friends, and the genial proprie-
tor never failed to snap out" his bit
of the kitty" to the great amuse-
ment Of Butler who found many
ways to tease "old Pearly" on this
thrifty Characteristic, and to banter
him goodnaturedly in that inimitable
manner for which the Father Of Tono-
pah is so famous.
The old gentleman, now nearly 20,
occasioned more mirth and good-fel-
lowship than it is the lot Of many in
this life to cause
His charity and magnanimity were
as well-known as his smile All over
the state his old friends will be
sorry to hear the news Of Pearly's
misfortune.
After several years IN Tonopah he
went to Beatty as one of its initial
business men, and after the decline
OF that camp he journeyed on TO the
oil excitements Of California, only in
the end to be lured back to Nevada
TO the Rochester boom He returned
to Tonopah some months ago ant
was Immediately attacked by rheuma
| tism, as it was believed He Wen
to the hot springs at Beatty for re
lief. but the malady was aggravated
so that II became necessary to re
move him to the county hospital herr
for skilled treatment. One operation
was performed some two weeks age
when a small toe was removed. bu
lthe dread disease appeared agai
above the amputated part, so the SUI
geons decided yesterday, in order t
give him another chance for his life
that the removal of the foot and pc
haps the leg was absolutely necei
sary. Hence we said his earnin
period Of life was ended this morI
ing.
His old-time friends are rallyin
around his bedside and extendin
such sympathy and succor to him
they can, in order TO soften, If poss

fallen him.

see Willie on the streets playing with
his schoolmates before very long.
I Little Willie has had to hobble to and

became interested in seeing if some
thing could not be done to soften the
i life burden of Willie and the result
was that he found Dr. O'Neal ready

"ChaSe is a mighty clever second
baseman and d shortstop and an ideal
outfielder. Also the writer recalls hav-
ing seen Chase in a marvellous play
behind the bat on the campus of
Santa Clara university. Chase was
catching that day for the collegians in
a game against Ireland's Independ-
ents. The score was tied in the ninth
inning with one man down and three
of IrelandS men on the paths. A
young fellow named knburn was
pitching for Santa Clara, and Art
Schafer, now of the Giants, was at
short for the college. Chase, behind
the bat, evidently saw the signal for
a squeeze play, for he ordered Kilburn
to waste the ball.
Kilburn apparently got ratified, for
he served up a straight fast one that
seemed about to cut the plate. The
latter was left handed, and as he
dropped his bat for the bunt, and shap-
ed himself for a quick getaway, Chase
threw off his mask and leaped from
his position. Just as Hal had OWNED
the bunt was perfect and the ball rolled
down the first base line Just a wee
bit faster than the runner, but not so
fast as the cat-like Chase. The latter,
starting six feet from behind the batter
and the ball. actually beat them both
before they had gone 20 feet Like a
flash Chase grabbed up the ball, block
ed the runner to first and shot the ball
to second in time to head off the rum
