Thatcher Has
Liking for Ely
SENATOR FROM EUREKA COUN-
TY WHO HAS BEEN PRODUCING
LEAD NINE SPEAKS WE'LL OF
PROGRESSIVE TENDENCIES.

One of these quiet but unannounc-
ed movements that has brought the
old camp of Union, near Palisade out
of the slough of dependency has
been insigated by Senator L. r.
Thatcher of Eureka county, who
motored in from Elko last Thursday
to consummate deal for the pur-
chase of machinery from the Ely
Consolidated Copper Co. Mr.. Thatch
er made the trip in eight hours.
The solon from the base range is
not of the sphinx-like type. There is
an absolute lack of mystery in his
makeup. Mr.. Thatcher states that
he is shipping a carload of lead ore
a day from his properties at Union to
Salt Lake smelters, and has forty
men on the payroll. He conveys the
information that the ore which is
being extracted under his supervision
is marked by an almost entire abb
sence of silver values.
THE properties are ten miles from
the railroad" said Mr.. Thatcher.
1.-TWO auto trucks are being used in
transporting the ore to point where
it can be loaded on cars. The way
things are shaping in the lead mark
ct bids fair for an activity unknown
for many years. There are many
good lead prospects in this state
worthy of consideration by anyone
who has an inclination to invest in a
mining venture.

with the arrest three barrels of beer
we're seized which will be used as evil

Stray Ely Elks
Want a Home
ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE AT
GRAND LODGE MEETING TO
AMEND BYLAWS SO LOCAL
LODGE MAY BE ORGANIZED.

Two hundred Elks in the Ely dis
trict. gathered from every corner of
the country. will make a determined
effort at the grand lodge of Elks
which meets In Los Angeles, to OBJ
tain charter for an Elks lodge in
Ely.
Attorney j. M. Lockhart leaves
next Wednesday morning for Los
Angeles to represent the homeless
ones In this locality and will en-
deavor to secure dispensation sane
tioning the institution of lodge In
this city.
lie will submit a plan to have the
laws of the order amended to provide
for zones in Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico and Idaho, instead of limit
ing the granting of charters to cities
of 5000 inhabitants in those states.
A committee from this locality will
go to Los Angeles for the big gather
irg, and will distribute booklets to
all delegates, advancing reasons why
the stray Elks of the Ely district
should have a home.
Arguments are advanced in the
booklet showing Ely is different
from ordinary mining camps, which
are OF an evanescent character. and
apt to dwindle after the mines are
worked out 1t is asserted that Ely
is a strong, substantial community
and is supporting large population
with no dwindling of vitality.
1t is contended that ely is not de-
pendent on the copper industry for
its present or future prosperity, that
il is a natural center and supply point
for vast territory extending seven
ty-five miles in every direction and in
clnding many fertile valleys which
with the Improvement of irrigation
and dry farming methods will be
made TO support a large farming and
stock raising population.
The fact that Ely has also gained
national advertising rs an important
stopping place on the Lincoln High
way, and the junction point of that
route with the Midland Trail which
diverges to Los Angeles will also be
impressed upon the Elks when they
gather for their annual conclave.

ARNOLOSON TRYING
TO COLLECT DAMAGES

Claiming that the defendants
made false representations as to the
number of cattle they had on hand
Fl. S. Arnoldson, formerly bishop of
the Mormon church at Preston
brought suit in the district court last
Thursday against Edward and
George w. Fawcett, Jr., to enforce
the collection of s2695.4S alleged to
be due on cattle not returned after
the termination of a lease between
the parties involved in the litigation.
The complaint alleges that Arnold
son turned over to Fawcett Brothers
1s6 head of cattle in Decembe 1912.
The plaintiff at that time preparing
to spend several years in the southern
states on mission for the religious
sect. with which he is affiliated.
Under the terms of the agreement
the defendants were allowed the
privilege of selling all steers, it be-
ing understood that the profits would
be divided equally. The lease was
terminated February 1. 1915.
Arnoldson claims that the defend
ant agreed to return the original
number, with the exception of eleven
head that were lost and nine that
were sold with the consent of
plaintiff.
1t is alleged by Arnoldson that
there remained to be divided 140
head and that defendants took the
amount claimed. He seeks to collect
$3.50, because the Fawcett Brothers
delivered SO less old cattle than they
agreed to. He seeks judgment for
1860 for the reason that defendants
turned in only 3S new cattle when
70 was the amount to which he was
entitled
At the time the agreement was
entered into, Fawcett Brothers leased
The Moon River ranch in Nye county
fom Arno'dson for 500 year. He
claims that there is still $500 due
from that source. He also contends
that the leasers agreed to pay half
of the taxes on the ranch, their
share being $2523
Plaintiff also claims he is entitled
to $3.50 on nine head of old stock,
and demands 1872, which represents
half the proceeds on the sale of
steers. Arnoldson admits that the
defendant paid s1311.75 on the

BY |RATE IRENE HURD

William Bailey, colored man
com monty known. as Bill Bailey. is
at the county hospital in a critical
condition as the result of a bullet
wound inflicted by Irene Hurd, a
colored woman, who occupies a cabin
in the red light district The weapon

the shot penetrating Baileys back.
near the spine. The shooting occur
red Friday afternoon, about
o'clock. and the Hurd woman was
arrested a few minutes later by
Sheriff Grain and lodged in the coun-
ty jail. Further action in her case
will depend on the condition of
Bailey.
Bailey. who was employed at the
smelter, has been boarding with
Irene Hurd. and Friday told her he
had decided to take quarters else
where. In company with Frenchy
Vautrin. the truckman. he went to
the cabin for the purpose of remov-
ing his trunk Acco ding TO reports
the Hurd woman didn't have much tn
say at the proceedings. and the two
men started down the steps from the
cabin, Frenchy on the lower end of
the trunk and Bailey holding the
ether. 1t was then the irate land
lady commenced her fusillade and
fred five shots. only one of which
took effect.
Truckman Nautrin was taken as

Lightly to say that Frenchy went
rapidly away from that locality. It
is said that he left so suddenly that
he failed to loosen his hold OH the
trunk and thereby carried the handle
along with him. BE that as 1t may,
the popular driver of the auto truck
gave a splendid exhibition of safety
first, and broke all speed records in
getting to a more congenial part OF
the city. According to reports the
trunk handle carried away by the
fleeing Vautrin has not been found,

The incident naturally created

ST ort time before medical help was
summoned for the unfortunate Bailey
while his summary assailant was led
away to the county bastile.
II is not definitely known what
caused the Hurd woman to shoot her
former boarder. Bailey's condition
is considered critical, so much SO
that the authorities thought 1t ad-
visable yesterday to take his deposi-
ton. which was done by Sheriff
Grain, District Attorney Zurich and
Court Stenographer Collins.

Land Was His
MRS. JANE ZUBIRI Is ATTEMPT
ING no GAIN POSSESSION OF
FORTY ACRES OF LAND PUR-
CHASED BY FORMER HUSBAND

Things have certainly been run
mig Sweeny for George Young, q
rancher in Butte valley. After spend
ing thousand dollars proving title
to water rights In that locality. he
again had occasion to become consoI-
ate when he was made defendant In
an action to the title of forty acres of
land, forming part of the Young
ranch
The suit which was started by
Lazaro and Jane Zubiri and the
children of the late w. J. Griswold.
was heard in the district court last
Monday. The taking of testimony
was concluded during the day. The
litigants were given additional time
to offer further documentary evil
dence, and submit arguments.
The tract involved in controversy
formed part of a parcel purchased by
the late w. j. Griswold from John
r. Wright of Elko for considera-
tion of $1,000. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the land was part of the
Young ranch, and portion of 1t had
been planted in alfalfa. Antoine
Young. father of the defendant, had
cultivated the tract since he settled
in Butte valley more than forty
years ago.
Griswold has purchased the land
as range for his sheep, and without
delay had the ground surveyed in
order that he might be in a position
| to determine the boundaries of his
newly acquired holdings. When the
task had been completed, it was
found that forty acres. included
among those recently acquired by
Griswod, really were embraced with
in the Young ranch.
Young in his answer contends that
zubiri never objected to the farming
of the land until about year pre-
ceding the beginning of the action.
A letter was introduced in evidence
at the hearing of the case in which
Young said that he had just found
out that Mrs. Zubiri owned the forty
acres in dispute. and would like to
purchase it.

Mcdonald
Title to Ranch
ATTEMPT OF G. HERMANSEN TO
HAVE DEED DECLARED MORT
GAGE FAILS AND EAST ELY
MAN WINS TRACT.

The whirlwind of litigation affect
ing the Hermansen ranch in the
White River valley dwindled away
yesterday, when Judge McFadden
handed down a decision declaring
that the agricultural tract in contro-
versy was the property of A. B. Nc
Donald of East Ely.
c. Hermansen brought suit about
six months ago In a court of equity
to have certain deed absolute and
in force declared to be mortgage
and praying for necessary equitable
relief.
Mcdonald, who was made a defen-
dant in the action. contonded that 1t
was an absolute conveyance deciding
property and water rights.
The court says that the only ques-
tion involved in the entire case is
whether a deed to land and water
constituted a mortgage or was an in
strument pnrporting to be absolute
transfer of ownership.
Judge McFad1en saii in his opin-
ion there could be only one judg-
ment in the case. He says the testi-
mony was fixed and that there was
nothing confused or undetermined in
his mind The court intimates that
even by widest Imagination and
stretching every point there could be
but one conclusion.
1t is the contention of the court
that every opportunity was afforded
and that the defendant was allowed
the greatest latitude. but he says he
cannot see where case had been
made out.
The parties to the action had been
acquainted for II years. Hermansen
borrowed $4,000 in November 1909
on a note secured by mortgage
with interest at 10 per cent The
loan was to be paid in three years.
Hermansen made an attempt to
sell the ranch in Ely and Salt Lake
to pay the money that was due Nc
Donald, and keep the difference. but
his efforts were doomed to failure.
According to the court. Mcdonald
was positive in the belief that he
didn't want the ranch, he simply de-
sired the mony that Hermansen owed
him
Affairs pursued the even tenor of
their way until the time for the mort
gage matured. Then Mcdonald be-
came anxious about the money that
was hanging in the balance. Ii was
at this time that Hermansen and his
wife signed conveyance deciding
their agricultural holdings to Nc
Donald.
Mrs. Hermansen testified at the
trial that she understood 1t was an
extension of the mortgage. Judge
McFadden. says. there was no chance
for Hermansen to be confused as he
was engaged in the real estate busi-
ness in Ely. had considerable legal
experience. and was familiar with all
kinds of legal instruments, besides
knowing the difference between a
deed and mortgage.

1t is stated that Bailey said that

Meaning Of Yanksa.

ThDre are several conflicting the.
cries regarding the origin of the
word Yankee. The most probable is
that II came from corrupt pronun-
citation by the Indians of the word
English. or its French from Anglais.
The term Yankee was originally ap-
piled only to the natives OF the New
England states but foreigners have
extended It to all the natives OF the
United States and during the Ameri-
can Civil war the southerners used II
as term of reproach for all the In
habitants OF the North.
