Ely Enthused
Over Baseball
SEVEN STAR DIAMOND ARTISTS
FORM NUCLEUS OF NINE IN
ELY THAT WILL FEAR NO
TEAM IN DISTRICT.

Ely will not be off the baseball
map this season. but will take the
field with a strong aggregation that
will be capable of coping on the
diamond with any nine in the dis
trict as soon as the national pastime
demands its share of attention.
Considerable interest was display
ed at the baseball melting last night
at city hall. and the prospects for
signing up some fast players are ex-
tremely favorable. Seven stars who
have cavorted around the different
local diamonds during the last four
years were In attendance and sig
nified their willingness to don an Ely
uniform.
What kind of team Is the county
seat going TO have anyway? This
interrogatory has been going the
rounds of the district for the last
three weeks, and without any at
tempt at fattery it is believed that
the prospects for gathering together
as good bunch of diamond artists
as any of the other aggregations can
not be excelled.
valuable acquisition to district
baseball is T.. Bronson. who played
with Salt Lake In the Union Asso
citation. Bronson was also affiliated
with the Midvale Club. when it was
the fastest aggregation of baseball
artists in Utah. He was a member
of the LeGrande Club. when il won
the pennant in the Tri-State league
His latest experience on the diamond
was with the Oxnard team in the
Winter League In southern califor-
MIA. Bronson has been piacticina
every night at the Ely baseball park.
and may be induced to don on Ely
uniform at the opening of the sea-
son.
II Is quite likely that there Will be
only two clubs at McGill, the Con-
centrator and the Shops. Now that
the last tinge of winter has appar-
emily disappeared. the players will he
getting into shape for the clang OF
the gong.
The territory around the mines
must not be neglected when the ma
tional pastime is under consideration.
George Murphy and "All Star" Hicks
are already busy getting together a
bunch of players that they expect to
round into form at the opening of
the league. They are not making
any sensational statements with re-
spect to the material they have on
hand, but their handiwork will be
much III evidence when the official
umpire utters for the first time
play Ball" Then what Murphy and
Hicks have accomplished will be a
matter of history.

rendered its decision in favor OF
Henry NJ. Fulmer, counter-claimant,

and appellant, VS.. Richard A. Riepe.

doing business under the firm name
and style of Fulmer & Ives, Bertha
Ives and Z. W. Hulse, defendants and
respondents. The remititur from the
supreme court affirming the order
of former District Judge George s.
Brown denying the Robinson Mining
Company's motion for new tria.
on the counter claim of Henry NJ
Fulmer was filed with the county
clerk on Thursday of this week
This decision is of interest to the
many holders of Robinson Mining
company's stock of this district. The
company owned group of mining
claims situated north of the Giroux
company's ground. The claims are
considered as having good prospect
i've value and the stock was quite
actively traded in during the boom
days. having sold as high as fifty
cents per share. Ii is thought that
the claims will now be sold to satisfy
the Fulmer judgment.
The following is brief history oil
the case which the supreme court has
now decided:
The Robinson company purchased
its mining claims from Richard A.
Riepe and Hermann Bress, each of
whom received in exchange for the
conveyance 114,2S5 shares of the
capital stock of the Robinson COM
pany Subsequently o. II. Paulson,
claiming that the loeators had failed
to comply with the law, relocated
the ground A controversy then arose
between Paulson and the Robinson
company concerning the title TO the
mining claims. The officers of the
mining company represented to Riepe
and Bress that they were legally
bound to make the title good. Riepe
|thereupon authorized the company to
settle with Paulson by giving him
Robinson stock and promised that he
would make good to the company any
stock which it might give to Paulson
in settlement. A settlement was
thereafter made with Panlson by the
terms of which he was given fifty
thousand shares of stock This set
tlement was ratified by Riepe who
promised that he would make the
fifty thousand shares good to the
company subsequently Riepe sold
to Fulmer & Ives 102.7S5 shares OF
the capital stock of the Robinson
company and endorsed and delivered
to them a certificate therefor. the
stock standing In Riepe's name. Mr..
Ives had previously been secretary
of the Robinson company and knew
of the settlement between that COM
pany and Paulson and of Rlepe'a
promise to make the fifty thousand
shares OF stock good. but It seems
that Mr.. Fulmer had no knowledge
of the settlement or of the promise
of Riepe. After purchasing Riepe's
stock Fulmer q Ives sold to Thomas
O'Neill. ID. S. Dickerson and ID. w.
Ellis 225.000 shares of Robinson
stock, among which was the certifi-
cate for the Riepe stock. still stand
ing In the name of Riepe. This gave
to O'Neill. Dickerson and Ellis the
rontrol of the company. The court
found that at the time OF the pun
chase of the certificate for the Riepe
stock O'Neill. Dickerson and Ellis
knew OF Riepe's promise to make

WASHINGTON. December o5-Dr.
Constantin Theodor Dumba, ambassa-
dor from Austria Hungary, issued a
statement tonight. emphatically con-
trndicting reports that Austria has
made orertures to the allies for peace.
DR.. Dumba's statement follows:
The Paris press spreads from time
TO time news of Austria Hungary, or
Hungary alone being tired of the war
and longing for peace. The latest re-
port in Washington paper alleges
that Austria has made unofficial peace
overtures TO the allies through Vienna
bankers upon the basis of the cession
of Galicia TO RUSSIA and Bosnia to
Serv.n.
The Austro- Hungarian ambassador
wishes to contradict these rumors rs
absolutely unfounded and misleading
public opinion in the United States.
Without speaking of tho article OF the
treaty OF the dual alliance Of 1879, nc
cording to which Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary engage themselves to
support each other with their whole
armies against Russia and to conclude
only conformity peace, every considera-
ton OF honor and self-interest pre-
vents Austria Hungary from breaking
from her ally and entering into nego-
uations FOR separate peace. The
cesSion OF Galicia and Bosnia could
only be agreed upon after n crushing
defeat OF the dual monarchy, an even
tunlity which happily does not CORE
spond to the actual situation on the
hattlcfelds. 1t is not improbable that
with the authors of these rumors the
wish Is father to the thought"
