Frenzied Finance Has Setback.
Newton, May 10-Judge Willcock
son gave judgment of $3.50 against
George w: Fleming, A. II. Raymond
and Guy v. Raymond in favor of
George and William Adkins of Kel-
logg. The Adkins boys traded prop
erty at Kellogg, worth nearly $4,000,
for the Merchants Transfer line of
this city, then owned by Guy Ray
mond. After operating the business
for one day they sold it TO George w.
Fleming for $3.50 and later brought
action to recover the value of their
Kellogg property. The case furnish
ed some interesting data in business
juggling. Up to Nov Is, 1912, the
business of the Merchants Transfer
company was operated by George
Fleming and Oscar Efnor. About
that time Mr.. Fleming, for the pur-
pose, as he said, of stimulating the
deal, got a man who introduced him
self to Efnor as White of Des Moines
to look over the property and pretend
to want to buy it, He gave Efnor the
impression that he would pay about
$4,000 for the business. Without COM
municating this information to Flem-
ing, Efnor bought Fleming's half in
terest for $1.40O, then went to Des
Moines to find White. but was unable
to locate him. Five days later Efnor
traded the business to man named
Bake of Detroit. Mimi, for an undi-
vided half interest in a quarter Sec
ton of land on which there was a
$4,000 mortgage, and paid Bake $3.50
in cash. Later he procured the other
half of the quarter on a conditional
sale by paying $500 to A. H. Raymond.
A few days after this transfer Bake
is supposed to have sold the transfer
line to Guy " Raymond, who on Dec.
10, 1912, with the assistance of his
brother, A. H. Raymond, traded it
for the Adkins property, subject to a
mortgage of $575.

sentation was in the nature of pub
lie acknowledgement OF obligation.
Nor was this the only surprise OF
the evening. Mr.. Farmhouse and his
assistant, Clifford Perry. were re-
sponsible. Following the conclusion
of the concert, members of the or.
chestra and those participating in the
affair were summoned to the Presby-
terrain church where the loyal ladies
of the Congregational church had pre-
pared spread for the more or less
tired orchestra players. The mem
bers of the orchestra had worked
hard and had applied themselves in
of the event, with a dill
gence worthy OF commentator. The
luncheon was served as little ex-
preston of the appreciation felt by
the people of the church. But II was
no ordinary spread. The menu in
cluded almost everything in season,
from chicken sandwiches to straw
berries and cream. Opinion was ex-
pressed by the company participating
in the treat that the obligations were
all on their side.

SEARCHING THE RECORDS

The orce at the Office OF County
Recorder Johnson has been employed
or several days in getting up an alb
stract Of title that will be one OF the
longest prepared there for years. 1t
is required to go into the books and
documents filed as far back as the
time when the sea of Esmeralda
county was at Aurora. Afterwards
it was moved to Hawthorne, and the
search of title has already reached
the Hawthorne era.
1t is necessary to go back to 1879
to learn the title to the springs that
were the original basis OF the water
line that supplied Candelaria with
water. The rights OF way for pipe
lines and the titles to reservoir sites
have also to be gone into. From
seventy-five to a hundred documents
have to be CANNED closely to get the
information resired.-Goldheld Tri-

OLD CAMP
MAY REVIVE

The old silver camp OF Candelaria
seems to be on the verge of a sub
Stantial revival. lie is rumored that
the old Mt. Diablo mine has been
taken over by new parties or is to be
taken over. The fact that records
concerning the property and its hold
ings are being looked up would lead
to the belief that there is something
more than rumor in the air.
1t is known that the Mt. Diablo
left considerable ore that was not
stopped out. With the new railroad
rates, the new treatment charges and
the modern electric equipment, it
seems more than possible that Can
delaria and Pick Handle Gulch will
again be a zone OF activity.
Several new owners are now in the
camp and leasers are busy on some
of the old properties. resulting in the
uncovering of new ore bodies and
quite substantial shipments being
made from what was considered a
deserted mining camp. 1t sounds
good to hear of this wonderful old
section coming to light again.

THE AMATEURS

The show at the Grand last night,
featuring the farce comedy, How the
Vote was Won," and rendered by
University Students. was we'll re-
ceived by a large audience, and that ii
vas appreciated was testified to by
the frequent applause. As rendered
by amateurs the plot was we'll pre-
scented and although the acting was
not up to the standard OF professions
ais, nor was it expected as such, the
participants each handled their parts
we'll, and young Frank Golden was
especially good. and his wife. Miss
Elvina O'Brien, acted her part as
nicely as anybody's wife.
The natural occurrences of college
misses. tended to cause the actresses
to be somewhat shy and kept their
voices subdued. otherwise the play
was we'll rendered and was appreciate
ed by the audience.
The University Glee Club was also
we'll received and appreciated in the
rendition OF several catchy selections
and received enCOres after each. The
dance which followed was enjoyed

enlievned the affair.
