CAFETERIA SUIT
IS SETTLED BY
SELLING OUT
FOR CASH
GOLDFlELD MEN ADJUST A BUSl-
NESS QUARREL OF LONG
STANDING

The suit between Thomas Cline ct
al, known as the Crystal Cafeteria
Catering Company, against j F. Doug
las has been settled out Of court
after an acrimonious legal warfare
extending over period of four
years.
All parties involved are from Gold
field and ii is said that an investment
of $4,000 was involved in the settle
ment, which led to an exchange of
allegations of the most damaging
character between the partners. Cline
contended that after he had advanced
most of the money to establish the
cafeteria, which was the first i'll San
Francisco, he was led to believe that
the investment was total failure
stock under the impression that the
cafeteria was a losing proposition.
Afterwards it developed that the cafe
terra was a branch mint and making
money faster than one cashier could
take it in. This led to suit for
recovery of stock. In the course of
the proceedings it was brought out
that Douglas was interested only as
the agent of Mrs. Thomas Lands
borough. of Tonopah, who had ad-
yanced funds for the purchase of
stock in the concern.
The compromise was an agreement
by which Cline bought the disputed
stock and Douglas and Mrs. Lands
borough take cash for their holdings
Douglas says he is going to estab-
lish the finest cafeteria on the coast
in San Francisco, where he has rent
ed ground floor with space OF
70x150 feet where he is going to
install the new business. In order
to gain possession Douglas said he
had to pay the tenants total OF
| $4,000 for their four year leases. The
site is between the Pantages and EN-
press theaters and is one of the best
in San Francisco The company will
place $4,000 in the enterprise.
Douglas was formerly a partner OF
George Pyne in the law business and
/ later manager of the Goldfield hotel
which he organized after the second
Goldfield hotel was lost by fire
/ Tommy Cline was an early day ca
terer in Goldheld who put all his
money in improved real estate ant

suring Americans Safety.
United States Consul Canada has
been informed officially by the Bra.
lillian minister at Mexico City that
DR.. Edward w. Ryan has been re-
leased and is on his way to Mexico
City.
The orders for Ryan's release went
direct from General Huerta to General
Medipo Barron, military governor of
zac tecas, who had sentenced the
American physician to death as a spy.
They carried notice that Barron
himself would be held responsible for
the mans safety while in Zacatecas.
He was to be provided with an
adequate military guard Immediately
after his release from prison and this
escort was to accompany him to the
capital.
The city of zacatecas is about 439
miles north of Mexico City, but Ryan
will arrive some time today, it is un-
derstood. He will be allowed to de-
part Immediately either for Puerto
Mexico or Vera Cruz.
No details of the charge upon which
DR.. Ryan was seized and condemned
have reached Vera Cruz. 1t is only
known that he was convicted of being
a spy by a conrt-martial.

SOLDIERS TAKE VERA CRUZ

RIuelackets Made Good.

BlueJackets Made Good.
The United States navy turned Vera
Cruz over to the United States army
at o'clock last Thursday.
The ceremonies of transfer were
impressive. They took place in the
presence of paraded battalions OF
sailors and marines and paraded regi-
ments of infantrymen in the Plaza de
la Constitution.
The world knows now that the Unit.
ed States holds Vera Cruz. The ma.
rines and jackies have fought step by
step along the water front, up narrow,
tortuous streets, into plazas and ave.
nues, from the ground and from house.
tops without cessation.
The marines are spreading out as
outposts and the whereabouts of Gen.
eral Mass, federal commander, is not
known. Out in the harbor beyond the
long breakwater the ships of Great
Britain, Germany and Spain lie and
approve.
Yet all this work has been done by
American sailors and marines the
average age of whom is just twenty.

DEAD ON WAY TO NEW YORK
Bodies of Marines and Sailors Leave
Vera Cruz.

The armored cruiser Montana
sailed from Vera Cruz for New York
with the bodies of the marines and
sailors who were killed after the
American troops landed there.
All the bodies will be taken to New
York and shipped to the homes of the
dead heroes. The Montana will be
met by the three battleships Iowa,
Indiana and Massachusetts either out
side the Delaware breakwater or off
the New Jersey coast. The old battle
ships will then convoy the Montana
with the nations dead to New York.
Rear Admiral Badgers fleet OBJ
served the sailing Of the Montana in
solemn fashion. The flags were
placed at half mast, the crew dressed
ship and stood at attention while the
bands played dirges as the Montana
passed out.
Afterward the officers of the ships
and great crowd of people from the
city attended a bull fight. The num-
ber of street venders and English
signs are multiplying, showing that
the natives are doing thriving bust
ness.

Z Now that General Funston and his
soldiers are in control of Vera Cruz
the men of the navy wonder what will
be their next work.
A considerable force will be main.
tanned regularly in the harbor, but il
is the general impression that some
of the big ships will be sent to con.
venient points along the coast or
even through the Panama canal to be
able to reach any place where need
has arisen.
1t is believed that Admiral Fletcher
and his squadron will go to Tampico.
General Funston will have little
more to do than to confne himself to
the military control of the district.
The civil government under Mr.. Kerr
has taken hold and the prospects are
so bright that Washington is to be
asked to permit Mexicans to partici-
pate more extensively in the govern
ment.

AGED WAR HERO
ANSWERS CALL
General Daniel SiCkISS Dies in
New York. Home
SUFFERED FROM HEMORRAAGE
General Sickles Was Last Survivor
of the Great Commanders of the
Civil War-Rais ised Four Regiments.

General Daniel Edgar Sickles of
Civil war fame died at his home in
New York Sunday night. His wife
was at his bedside at the end. 1t is
said the general had become recon-
ciled with his family within the last
two weeks.
The general had been i'll in his
home here for some time. In March
he suffered a severe hemorrhage. A
week ago Thursday there was another
and after that the general gradually
sank until death came.
Daniel Edgar Sickles, major general
(retired), was the last of the great
commanders of the Civil war. He re
sponded to Lincoln's first call for vol.
unteers. He raised regiment after
regiment. He led them to battle, al
ways with consummate bravery and
distinction.
From his youth up he was active
and the changing years saw him en-
gaging with the same enthusiasm in
arms, diplomacy, politics and that
intercourse with his fellows which is
the privilege of a man who has seer
much of life and got honor through
merit.
A year ago when the veterans OF
Gettysburg gathered to renew Their
conflict by peaceful camp fires the
Blue and Gray acclaimed him as the
hero of that engagement. Wherever
they met his name ran through their
stories.
He was congressman from New
York when the war began. He was a
Democrat and had not voted for
Lincoln, but he went to the president
and offered his services.
The first regiment he raised was
composed mostly of Democrats. He
established Camp Scott on Staten
Island and began to train his voluB
teers. He enlisted them in the Unit
ed States army and subsequently
raised four other regiments. In Sep
tember of 1861 the president made
him brigadier general.
He saw his first engagement early
in 1862 when General Hooker chose
him to make a reconnaissance to un.
cover the position of General Long.
street. He took 1000 picked men and
came upon Longstreet's outposts at
Staffords courthouse on the way to
Fredericksburg. He was outnumbered
2 to 1 but he put the enemy to flight
and the fame of his exploit fired the
army of the Potomac.
He succeeded Hooker in the com.
mand of a division of the Third army
corps and led the division in the bat.
ties of Antietam and Fredericksburg.
In November of 1862 he was made a
major general of volunteers and had
command of the Third corps at Chan
cellorsville. Having defeated the
Union army there General Lee set
forth on his determined march to the
north, but was turned back at Gettys.
burg, where General Sickles was in
command of the Union army's left.
