into communication with a sister who
lived In Placerville and the day be-
fore he died came a letter stating
that she had made arrangements to
send for him and place him in a pri-
vate s~anitarium just as soon as he
was paroled. The letter came too
late for during the weeks he had
been waiting to hear from the sister
he had grown weaker and weaker
and the day after the arrival of the
letter he passed way. 1t is under
stood that the man had always held
a good reputation and during a spree
furnished the liquor to an Indian
which placed him behind the bars.
The body was buried in the prison
plot on Sunday.

SUPREME COURT SUS-
SUSTAINS THATCHER

The supreme court handed down its
opinion Thursday in state bank cases.
The opinion is by Judge Talbot
and concurring opinion by Justice Nc
Carran. The court held that the act
of the legislature of 1913 authorizing
the attorney general to investigate
the State Bank and Trust company
and institute such proceedings as he
deemed necessary is within the police
power Of the state and that the state
under that power may continue to
protect the depositors even after the
bank has failed, instead of leaving
him to hire his own attorneys to pro-
tect his interests. says the Carson
City News. 1t holds that under this
statute the attorney general should
have been served with notice and
further that his motion to set aside
the order granting attorneys fees
and receivers fees should be granted.
The court holds that a publication of
notice is not sufficient notice in the

TEN cows COMMIT SUICIDE
WITH CYANIDE

Ten cows drank cyanide Sunday
night, says the Tonopah Bonanza,
and their bodies may be seen in the
slime pond west of the railroad
station. These animals were the
property of the Pioneer dairy and
have run the gauntlet of %washouts
and railroad wrecks. only to perish iii
their new home on the desert.
A herd of 40 milk cows, bought
by MCGEE & McKenna of the Pioneer
dairy. serving Tonopah and Goldfield
shipped from Reno last week. were
in the freight train that was wreck
ed near Schurz. The rest OF the
train was ditehed, but the cows came
through all right. Owing to the fine
weather, they were pastured on the
open range below the Tonopah Bon
anza mine. In the day time they
were in charge of a herder, but at
night they were left alone.
Saturday night the animals wan
dered up to the slime pond
fed by the big milling plants and
drank of the deadly mixture, which
killed them instantly. The loss is
placed at $1,000.

MAED KICKED AT
DOING UNDERGROUND WORK,

The Tonopah Bonanza of recent
date devotes nearly two columns to
a story describing in detail the in
tricate and hazardous feat performed
at the Belmont mine that day, when
a mule was lowered through the
shaft to serve as motive power for
ore transportation on the 1900 level.
1t seems that it required the entire
mechanical and engineering staff of
the mine to accomplish the task.
Maude, as the mule is called, was
roped up and placed On the cage, but
the engineering force had calculated
wrong, for Maude was 7 feet long.
and the clearance was only six feet.
While a consultation of war was be-
ing held, Maude resented the treat
ment, wiggled loose from her bonds
and two men had to climb the bell
rope to get out of the way of heels
and teeth. The mule was finally sub
dued and the engineers decided to
set Maude up on end and lower her
that way. This required a donkey
engine and block and tackle, but the
mule vas finally landed at the 1900.
without the loss of any wall plates
in the shaft. Maude is the first mule
to get a job underground in Tono-
pah or Goldfield.

AGRICULTURAL BOOM
IN DIXIE VALLEY

Nevada, which has had mining
rushes for half a century, is today
enjoying a new variety of rush, one
to secure agricultural lands, and 1t is
said that the enthusiasm and excite
ment are as keen as in the days OF
the gold fever. Dixie valley, sixty
miles from Fallon, Is the objective
point OF the pioneers and between
$4,000 and 10000 acres of home
stead have been filed upon, says a
Fallon dispatch in the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Most of the new residents of Dixie
valley have sufficient capital to as
sure the rapid development of that
district. Dixie valley is said to be
the lowest valley in the state except
Death valley, and is said to have a
much longer growing season than the
Lahontan valley. Experimental plants
have been farmed there for several
years by some of the farmers who are
going in, and they say there has
never been a failure in either grain
or potatoes.
1t is essentially a dry farming
proposition. The water is said to he
two to six feet from the surface. The
valley is 100 miles long, is surround
ed by high snow clad mountains and
is exceptionally level, sloping to the
north.
Eventually the new settlers plan to
sink wells for artesian water. At
this time they probably will rely on
dry farming. believing a supplement
tary supply, II needed, can be easily
secured by pumping. At present the
valley Is ~carpeted with rye and other
grasses, and II has been used for
many years as a stock range. Stock
is said to do well there through the
winter without care.

absence of such statute; personal
notice should have been served upon
the depositors or some n OF them
representing the class. The court
further held that 1t having appeared
as a matter of record that the court
had made a mistake in fixing the
compensation of the receiver that 1t
should have been corrected upon
motion or by the court of its own
yolition. Justice McCarran in his
concurrring opinion holds that the
state as a party plaintiff vas entitled
to notice of the proceedings for the
reason that the object of the litiga-
ton so far as the state was concerned
was primarily to prevent insolvent
institutions from conducting an un-
safe business where the public Nigh.
be the victim, and secondly, that 1t
was the duty of the state having in
stituted the action to see that the af-
fairs of the institution were wound
up equitably so that the creditors
might receive their just share of the
remaining assets of the institution.
That the order fixing the compensa-
ton having been made without notice
TO the state the order vas void.
Justice Norcross dissented and
filed a lengthy dissenting opinion.
