TREASURER
OF LODGE CHARGED
JUDGE MACK FINDS EXCITE.
MENT AT HAWTHORNE
OVER MINING

According to Judge C. f.. Mack.
who returned from Hawthorne Satur-
day night. the district attorney Of
Mineral county will file in few days
direct information charging G..
Jochumsen. former treasurer of the
Aurora lodge of odd Fellows, with
embezzling funds of the order. 1t is
alleged that Joehumsen made way
with approximately $l,400 of the
lodges money, says the Gazette.
A civil suit has been filed against
.Iochumsen by the lodge TO recover
the money and it was to argue a de-
murrer to the complaint that Judge
Mack was called to Hawthorne. The
demurrer was overruled and Jochum-
sen allowed ten days to answer.
Judge Mack says that there is con-
siderable mining excitement at Haw-
thorne on account of activity at
Lucky Boy and Aurora, where big
forces of men are employed. He
says a rich strike was made in the
Lucky Boy mine last week, some
very rich ore being encountered in
one of the tunnels and also in a
raise being driven to meet the bot
tom of the main shaft The prop
erty is owned by j. II. Miller OF
Hawthorne, and Salt Lake parties.
Judge Mack reports unusual activity
at Aurora and says the Aurora mill
has been started again.
