Would Annul Decree

Florence E. Ballet cf Tonopah
has served through her attorney, T.
X. Chambers, notice upon Letson
Ballet, her former husband, that
she will present a motion in the dis
trict court at Tonopah asking for an
order vacating and setting aside the
judgment made last November in
which Ballet was granted a divorce
from her. The motion will be made
on the ground of excusable neglect
on her part of not filing an answer
to the complaint, the neglect being
caused by deceit and fraud on the
part of Ballet. Since the decree of
divorce was granted last November
Ballet has been married to Rene
Jenkins, who is also mentioned in
the complaint.

1t is highly probable that the

burned to the ground several weeks
ago, contain the body of a man. A

of tie town. The salesman whose
name has not been given out, is said
to have engaged a room at the hotel
the night of the fire, and it is not
positively known that he was ever
seen after the conflagration. The
fact that important mail addressed
to the missing man has never been
called for and that no trace of him
has been found since, leads many
to believe that he persisted in the
fire.

VINCENT RIVAS AGAIN
GETS INTO TROUBLE

Vincent Rivas, a Mexican railroad
laborer who stabbed and nearly
killed a fellow workman during an
alteration in Millers several weeks
ago, and who was recently released
from the county Jail because Of in
sufficient evidence to convict, the
victim of the assault refusing to
appear against him, has again got
himself into hot water, this time
with the Nye county authorities. Ac-
cording to the story, Rivas left Gold
field several days ago and walked in
to Beatty where he proceeded to
let his presence be known to the
authorities of that town. 1t is
said that Rivas entered the cabin of
a resident of hat camp and robbed
the owner of an overcoat, groceries
and other articles. He was appre-
hended in the cabin of a fellow coun-
tryman, with whom he had sought
shelter and brought to Goldfield last
night and lodged in the county Jail
for safe keeping. Deputy Sheriff
Norris of Beatty took him to Tono-
pah this morning.

NOT TO STARvE
ISSUES STATEMENT THAT is
REASSURING

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 49,
Assurances that the United States is
in no danger of a shortage of food,
despite the enormous exports to Eu-
rope, were given last night by the de-
partment OF agriculture in a state
ment to the public. The surplus
wheat above the domestic needs on
hand Feb. l, the statement said,
would permit the expectation of
nearly a million bushels daily, about
the recent average, until the new
crop is available.
Moreover, there were larger sup
plies of corn and other grains, meat
animals, dairy products, potatoes
and fruit at the opening of 1915 than
for many years. Incidentally it was
pointed out that the average price Of
meat animals was seven per cen
lower in January than a year ago,
butter two per cent. potatoes 35 per
cent, apples 81 per cent and the
price of chickens slightly lower.

MINERS
SUFFER DEATH
GAS EXPLOSION PROVES FATAL
TO EMPLOYEES OF COAL
COMPANY

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 49,
Eight mine workers were killed and
six others seriously injured in an
explosion of gas at the Prospect
colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company yesterday. Two of the in
iured will probably die. The acct
dent occurred at n point nearly two
miles from the shaft. A heavy peck
1T of feeder gas that accumulated
behind a wall of coal forced the coal
out and leaping to the naked lights
of the miners, ignited, causing a
terrific explosion.
The blast swept out through the
chamber into a gangway where a
group of miners and boys were eat
ing lunch. 1t was here that most of
the killed and injured were found
by a rescue party formed by two
score men who escaped injury. Aid
from the surface and from other
workings was summoned and 3y
dark all the victims had been
brought out of the mine. The fire
caused by the explosion was ex-
tinguished before it gained D.uch
Roadway. The damage to the
workings was slight.

SLIGHT FIRE IN
BELMONT MINE
FLAMES QUICKLY EXTINGUISH-
ED BY VARIOUS NINE RES
CUE CREWS

A fire which, fortunately, was
quickly extinguished, broke out
about 1880 O'Clock last evening in an
old stope between the 1850 and
1100-foot levels of the Belmont mine
in Tonopah. No casualties result
ed and there was no interruption to
operations in the mine, as was the
case four years ago February IT,
when a fire in the property resulted
in the death of seventeen miners.
The cause of the fire last night is
unknown. Soon after the discovery
Of the fire calls for the rescue crews
of other properties were sent out and
they quickly responded. Mean
while, eighty miners working in the
property at the time were brought to
the surface through the main shaft.
Under the leadership of Superin-
tendent Fitzgerald the mine crews,
equipped with their helmets, de-
scended the shaft and put out the
flames.

IS
SUPPLEMENTED
OWNERSHIP LITIGATION is
UNCERTAIN

RENO, Feb. IAN amended
complaint against the Goldfield
Merger Mines company in the re-
ownership proceedings inaugurated
in Seattle two weeks ago was filed
in the United States district court at
Carson City yesterday afternoon. 1t
was $4,000 words in length and was
telegraphed from Seattle.
The exact status of the Merger re-
ownership a not be a~scertained
here because the motion to quash
the original proceedings is pending
in Seattle.
c. o. Whittemore, president of
city, say he is not certain what the
status of the litigation is at the
present time but in his opinion the
motion of his company al Seattle to
have the receiver turn owe the
company's property to it's officials at
Goldfield should prevail. The hear
ing on the ~receivership is set for on.
ly two weeks hence, he says, and
nothing further will be done until
then. He says a delay of that short
a time will not hinder operations to
any extent.
Yesterdays Carson Appeal said:
Steps were taken yesterday by Of
ficials of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company to have vacated the order
for receivership recently made by
the United States district court at
Seattle, on the ground that the re-
ceiver had not complied with a re-
cent federal statute requiring the fill
ing of a report by the receiver with
in ten days in the state into which
the jurisdiction of the appointing
court has been extended. Instruc-
tions were sent to the Merger COM
pany's attorney in Seattle to file a
petition for the discharge of the re-
ceiver and that the property be i'm
mediately turned over to the Mer-
ger company.
The ten days following the ap-
pOintment of Receiver Johanson ex-
pired at midnight Tuesday night,
and it is said that as he failed to
comply with the federal statute, the
~receivership should be ended.

GOVERNOR HAS
DIVORCE BILL
EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY RUMOR
OF REFERENDUM BILL FAITH
Erred BY BOYLE

CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 49,
After the clock of the assembly had
been turned back half an hour
while a still hunt was made for Gov
eronor Boyle or his secretary, Speak
err Mcbride discovered the latter and
Chairman Beason of the enrolling
committee delivered to him assem-
bly, bill eleven, the divorce bill. The
governor has five days, not counting
today, in which to take action.
There was unusual excitement
about the capitol before the hour for
converting, caused by the fact that
neither the governor nor his Sec
rotary had appeared. This excite
ment vas augmented by the rumor
that the enrolment committee in
tended holding the divorce bill the
statutory period of ten days. Chair
man Beason said today, however,
hat such never was the intention of
the committee.
Another hustle of excitement was
caused this morning when it be-
came known that a bill is to be intro
duced, probably this afternoon, al
lowing a referendum vote on any
legislative act within ninety days af-
ter it is signed by the governor. The
bill is to be declared an emergency
measure and al attempt made to
rush it through both houses this
afternoon, according to present
plans. The bill, it is said, has it's
origin with Governor Boyle. Com
ment among members of both
houses this morning indicated that
the bill would not be passed.
Assemblyman White gave notice
this morning hat he will introduce
at some future date a bill establish
ing the term of office for members
of the assembly at four years.
Senator Kendall late today intro
duced a bill providing for a referen-
dunn election on any legislative act
within a minimum of ninety days
after the adjournment of the legis--
lature. Before the secretary had
read the title, Senator Balzar moved
that the bill be rejected because no
IIOLlCc Hdu DCCh SiNCh'
Sullivan decided that the bill be
read in order that the senators might
know what they were voting upon.
Kendall spoke for the bill, saying
it was the will of Governor Boyle.
Balzar, Buol and Fulmer objected to
the bill. Fulmer said it would bur
den the state and counties with an
unnecessary expense. The motion to
reject the bill was carried by a vote
of II to g., with Huskey and Arnold
not voting. Voting to reject the bill
were Balzar, Bradshaw, Buol, Cha
pin, Fernald, Gault, Hussman, Ked~
die, Stickney and Thatcher. Kendall
then gave notice that he would in
troduce the same bill at some flu
ture date.
