MANHATTAN GETS
WORST OF AN
ELECTRIC
STORM
POWER STATION CRIPPLED BY
THE FRANKS or HEAVY
LIGHTNING.

Tonopah was on the edge of a
cloudburst last evening but escaped
with a good drenching that settled
the dust and washed the streets
Between here and Diamondfield the
rain came down in torrents that tore
huge gaps in the roadway.
The precipitation in Tonopah was
only sixteen one hundredths Of an
inch The country north of here
suffered greatly and the roads which
had been repaired since the previ-
GUS storm have all been filled with
|ruts and hollows.
The electric display in Tonopah
was fierce and tested the capacity
of the new lightning arresters, which
stood the shock for three different
times when the current flew through
the building without inflicting any
harm.
AT Manhattan the case was differ
ent as the power company suffered a
Toss Of at least $1,000 and the sery-
ice was placed ont of commission for
several hours. At 12;15 in the at.
ternoon the big 300 kilowat trans
former was crippled and the light,
ming jumped around the building at
rate that kept the electricians
busy. After the storm was over il
was found that two small series
transformers and the oil switch had
been disabled, Power had to be
shut off three times to make repairs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S Foreign
governments, some of which have
recognized Huerta, are exerting such
pressure to yield to the demands of
the United States that developments
may cause the president to defer
reading his message to congress.
Dispatches of Lind describe a more
conciliatory disposition on the part
of Huerta with the result that the
senate almost unanimously endorsed
the presidents efforts toward peace.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
CASE WILL Be
SUBMITTED
TODAY
JUDGE DIXON OF SALT LAKE
USES DIAGRAM TO HELP
UNDERSTANDING.

With the cross examination of ].
P. Sweeney, representing the Sphinx
company, yesterday the case was fin
ished as far as introducing testi-
mony was concerned.
In the afternoon Judge Dixon OF
Salt Lake city, representing the
Round Mountain Mining company,
commenced the argument for that
side. Several local attorneys lis.
tened to Judge Dixon's argument, as
Judge Dixon's reputation for being
one Of the leading extra-lateral right
attorneys on the Pacific coast had
preceded him. the last case won by
the Judge being the famous Ma
tional Mammoth mining case of
Humboldt county.
The contention of the Sphinx com
pany for extra-lateral rights under
what is known as the Stemwinder
decision in the Occur d. Alene coun-
try was the main feature of Judge
Dixon's talk. 1t is difficult in a
short newspaper statement to suf-
ficiently describe Judge Dixon's
main point, illustrated by map:
but map was produced showing
two mining claims, both on the same
lode vein. but the north end of one
mining claim was not identical with
the south end line of the other
the locator of the Justice mining
claim locating his stakes northeast
and the southwest, the locator of
the Pirate mining claim locating his
stakes northwest and southeast, so
that there was an X left at the
intersection Of their end lines, leav-
ing a small fraction of less than 10
feet unappropriated public property
which was afterward located by a
third person, the Judge contending
that under the decision of the
/ Stemwinder case, in depth as the
segment line Of the Justice ran the
reverse line of the Pirate. In other
words. ON the top of the vein one
would follow one line of the X in
its depth and the other would fol
low the other line of the X in its
depth, so that the fraction of 40
feet in its dip would increase in
depth like the shade of a lamp. OF
bell shape in depth, SO that at S00
feet the man with 10 feet fraction on
top of the ground would really have
more territory than either the JUS
tice or the Pirate on the surface

In taking up the question of ex

ines these rights, but priority of ap
preparation. That prior location
on one ledge or vein does not meal

CARSON CITY, Aug. 23.-George
B. Thatcher and p. M. Bowler, at
torneys for Nye county in the suit
of the First National bank of San
Francisco against this county seeking
recovery Of moneys alleged to be
due on promissoFy notes aggregat-
ing $22 ,7O3.O9. filed their brief today
in the supreme court.
This is an action based on three
promissory notes given by Nye eoun-
~ to the Nye a. 0rmsby County bank
10 secure a loan for the amount stat
ed The bank assigned those notes
TO the First National bank Of San
Francisco as collateral to secure 9th.
er obligations contracted by the Nye
& Ormsby County bank. The notes
were never presented to the county
commissioners within six months of
the date OF their maturity or at any
time.
Plenty Of Money In Bank.
The Nye & Ormsby County bank
was depository of Nye county and
the county treasurer had at various
times subsequent to the transfer Of
the notes on deposit funds more than
enough TO have liqudated the in
debtedness. When the bank became
insolyent and closed Its doors on
February 20, 1909. Nye county had
on deposit the sum of s666S636. no
part of which has been repaid. The
defendant had no knowledge of the
Francisco bank which failed to noti.
fy the commissioners of the fact
until long after the Tonopah bank
had closed it's doors. Furthermore
on the 31st day of December, 1908,
the date of maturity Nye county had
on deposit with the Nye & Ormsby
County bank, $7I75379, including
the $22,70309. the emergency tax
fund which had been collected against
the taxable property Of Nye county
for the express purpose of paying the
Indebtedness represented by these
notes.
It is alleged that the plaintiff con
trived with the officers of the Nyt
& 0rmsby County bank to take un
due advantage of the depositors b,
having transferred collateral as Sc
cmty for pre-existent obligations
rendered full amount.
That on January 5, 1909, the coun
ty auditor rendered the bank at To
nopah the full amount of the obi
cation and that the bank informed
the auditor that the notes involvet
were in the branch bank at Car
son City and that they would sent
and get them. Nothing further wa
head from the bank which failed +
make any demand and it was no
learned until the bank closed It
doors on February 20, 1909, tha
the collateral was held by the Firs
National bank OF San Francisco.
is further averred that the plaintiff
conspired to deceive and defrau
the defendant by Withholding PR
sentation of the notes in the hop
that by reason of the large deposit
being continuously made by Ny
county that the Nye & Ormsby com
ty bank could continue and renal
for a considerable length of tim
and thus liquidate its indebtedness
to the First National bank of Sa
