PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
OF INDIAN MURDERER.
Oscar Hudson Held on Charge of
Murder-Trial Soon.

The preliminary examination of Os-
car Hudson, the Piute boy charged
with the murder of Joe Matthias in
Gold Canyon couple of miles from
Dayton, on or about the 10th of March
was held in Yerington on Tuesday of
this week before Justice Blanchard.
w. ]. Thompson, Deputy Sheriff, testi-
fed concerning his visit to old Joe's
cabin and there finding him alive but
terribly beaten and unable to tell who
did the awful work. Thompson then
detailed how he took the tracks found
outside the cabin and after following
them few yards recognized them as
having been made by the defendant;
also of going to the Indian School,
where Hudson was known to be, and
finding him there. He obtained from
the Indian statement practically ad-
mitting his guilt. This statement was
objected to by attorney Hauser for
the defendant, but the objection was
overruled M J. King then told of
the death of Matthias and also identi-
fed some blood stained clothing. A.
J. Lotus then testified and introduced
a plat of the cabin. He identified
the iron bar that had evidently been
used in beating the old man The bar
still showed blood stains on the larger
end. John Hancock was the next wit
ness and testified substantially as had
Mr.. Thompson to statements made
by the Indian boy. The same objec-
ton was made by counsel for defend
ant but was overruled. The defend
ant was then informed of his right to
make statement but no testimony
was offered and Justice Blanchard
ordered him held to answer to the
charge of murder without bail. The
District Attorney will present the case
without having grand jury called and
it will probably come up for trial at
the next session of Court.

Prominent Young Couple Married.

On Tuesday noon of this week the
wedding of w. H. Churchyard and
Miss Lillian Webster took place at the
home of the brides parents in Yer
ington, the Rev. Frank Summers per
forming the ceremony which made the
young couple husband and wife. The
event was scheduled to take place on
the 9th instead of the 5th but the
had prepared to give them such a
warm reception that they thought it
best to disappoint thir ardent friends
by pulling off the stunt day sooner
than set for. Besides the family of
the bride there were present only 4
few intimate friends, Mr.. G w. Willis,
George Butler, Miss Brusso, Mrs. La
Mira Glenn (who had attended the
wedding of the brides parents on the
East Walker River in l884), and Mr.
Bena Franklin, of Thompson, boy
hood friend of the groom. A delicious
wedding repast was set by the mother
of the bride and on leaving the home
teachers and scholars of the schools
lined up along the driveway to the
house and strewed the pathway to the
waiting auto with flowers as the bride
and groom took their departure. An
auto took the young couple to Wabus-
ka, where the train was taken for
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where they
will make their future home. The
bride is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Webster. of this place, and is
bright. lovable and popular young
woman, who. up to the time of her
marriage held the position of clerk in
the Lyon County Bank, of which her
father is President. The groom has
been resident of Yerington for some
time and has been engaged as jeweler
by the Yerington Drug and Jewelry
Co. Both have been very popular
young folks of this community and
have hosts of friends who wish them
all the pleasure and prosperity that
can naturally come to them in life
time.

The Equal Franchise Parade.

The parade last Saturday of the
Lyon County Branch of the Equal
Franchise Society was quite an af-.
fair, some eight or ten autos being
loaded to their capacity with suffra
getts and their sympathizers. This is
the first thing of the kind that has
ever taken place in Yerington. The
parade formed at the old school house
and the route was along Pearl street
to Main and thence to Bridge street
and around the outside streets of the
city and back to point on Main in
front of the Lyon County Bank where
master of ceremonies, Dr. G.. E. Leav-
lit, introduced the different speakers.
B. H H.Reymers told us that equal fran
chise was bound to come, and was fol-
lowed by Mrs. West, who read an arti
Gle written by one of the pioneer wo-
men of Mason Valley, Mrs. Glenn,
which was listened to with much in
terest The next speaker was attorney
Warren Hauser, who made strong
plea for equal franchise. He was fol-
lowed by c. A. Steel, who claimed to
know little about it, but was for it.
Clark Guild, who was to have been
master of ceremonies, was reported to
be ndisposed, and some of the suf
fragetts say he had cold feet. Sam
Ebert, E. H. Walker, T. H. Hunter,
George Webster, B. H. Reymers, E.
J. Cooper and some other mere men
were conspicuous in the parade, es-
pecially Cooper, who was the only
man in an acknowledged of charm
ing women. The High School girls
sang some suffragette songs and, alto
gether- the parade was great credit
to the women, and the officers of the
Society particularly. The officers are:
Mrs. G. w. Webster, President; Mrs.
c. A. Steel, Vice President; Mrs. G.
F. West, Secretary; Mrs. ]. I. Wilson,
Treasurer,

Smith Valley Locator Return

Smith Valley Locator Returns
George Warren, the veteran prospect
or arrived in Yerington Wednesday,
having spent the last six months in
San Francisco and other coast points.
He could not resist longer the call of
the wild. Civilization in crowded cit
les was to much for him. He longed
for the smell of the sagebrush and the
desert, where one has trout for break
fast and venison steak, pheasant or
grouse for dinner and enough elbow
room to eat comfortably. George is
the locator of the famous Smith Valley
Mines Co.'S property, which has indi-
cations of being the biggest thing in
the State, and is out in the field again
looking for another mine, but hardly
expects to find one just as good, as
such properties are only found about
once in liftime. He has prospected
all over Nevada and is just as en-
thusiastic at his present age as when
he first started out a young man.
With his "canaries" he has been a
familiar sight in many camps. And
his camp has always been open to
friend or stranger Many nice mess
of trout has been enjoyed at his ta-
bic by the traveller in the vicinity OF
the Walker River. George has only
the one bad habit of prospectors; he
smokes cigarettes.
Piute Flat-Chas. Bovard has just
shipped a small carload of ore from
his Piute Flat prospect that runs $50
per ton in gold. This is mine run
lust as it was broken down. He has
now adopted different method OF
taking the ore out, which will save
the high grade by itself and will soon
have another shipment ready which
he thinks will give better returns than
the above. The deeper the workings
the better the values seem to be, as
the ore in the lower level is much
richer than it is near the surface. AS
fast as he can make room he will add
TO his force and expects to have a
ull-hedged producer this summer.
Other properties in this section are
said to be looking better in values
and size of vein as depth is attained,
and there will probably be several

YERINGTON JUSTICE COURT
BUSY THIS WEEK.
Case of Emeral VS.. Warren Decided
in Favor of Plaintiff.

The case of Scotty Emeral VS.. A. W.
Warren, of Mason took up some time
in the Justice Court of Yerington
this week. The case was started Mon
day but defendant could not be pres
ent so it was postponed until yester-
day. The case involved a horse val
ued at about 500. Some time ago
Mrs. Pearl Brown contracted a debt
with A. w. Warren. Later on she mar
ried Mr., Emeral. Warren sued Mrs.
Emeral and attached horse she was
supposed to own, and the Sheriff took
possession of the horse. Emeral sued
the Sheriff for the recovery of the
horse, claiming that it belonged to
Kim. The case was tried before jury
and Mr.. Campbell, of Mason, repre-
sented the defendant and H. Pilking-
ton the plaintiff. 1t was shown that
Pearl Brown had sold the horse to
Emeral sometime last fall, before she
became Mrs. Emeral but that Emeral
had allowed her to use the animal on
numerous occasions. The jury was
out a couple of hours before return
ing a verdict in favor of plaintiff.
Counsel for defendant promptly gave
notice that the case would be ap-
pealed to the District Court.

BRIEF MINING NEWS OF THE DISTRICT FOR THE
WEEK JUST PAST.
hippers in the near future.

Empire-Nevada-A report came in
yesterday that VIM Dexheimer and
associates, who have lease on the
Empire Nevada property, have run
into four feet of high grade copper
ore. Our informant states that it is
the richest ore he has seen in the dis
trict. The ground, up to short time
ago, was under lease to other parties
who drifted some 100 feet or more,
and not finding what they were look
ing for, gave up the lease. The new
leasers were driving for drill hole
to get air connection when they ran
into four feet of high grade. They
have so far drifted both ways on the
vein about 10 feet and find it all the
same quality of ore. A strange thing
in this matter is that the big drill hole
had missed this ore by only short
distance. Along with this high-grade
stuff is plenty of lower grade ore
which makes this strike look like a
big thing.
Mohawk Group Brown Crosse and
associates have opened up nice vein
of ore on their Mohawk group of
claims located seven or eight miles
east of Yerington. They have just
shipped one carload of ore to the
smeter that is rich in copper content
and carrying some gold and silver.
This has been taken out in sinking
a shaft about rs feet deep. 1t is the
intention of the parties to keep on
sinking until considerable depth is at
tanned and the ore being taken out will
pay for the work and then some.
Nevada -Douglas-An experimental
teaching plant arrived at Ludwig this
week for the Nevada Douglas Com
pany and is being set up to make tests
of the ore by the process that the
company has been trying out for the
past several months. The little plant
is of sufficient size to demonstrate
whether or not the process will oper-
ate on large commercial scale, and
it will be put to the severest test be-
fore the large plnat is constructed.
Mason Pass-W L. Constantine,
the Mason Pass mine owner, spent a
few days in Yerington this week. He
says things are some quiet in that sec
ton at the present time, and the only
real work being done is that of the
Gunn-Thompson people, who are
sinking a shaft on the property they
recently took an option on.

Servia Was Once Great Nation

eastern Europe can hardly realize tina,
