M'FADOEN DS|AD0PTS PO[|CYO
COURT IN ELK0 WATCHFUL WAIT.

Robert b. cowan believes that ev-
erything comes to him who waits. At
ter being buffeted about western
mining camps for more than twenty
years, he is confident that he at last
has come to place with the word
Welcome" on the doormat.
King Tungsten has opened the
doors OF his realm at Lexington Can
yon for MIR. Cowan and his associate,
s. w. Carl, and they both took a peek
to see what the place looks like. The
result of their investigations was the
location of six claims. The entire
group is mineralized. Assays running
as high as Is per cent tungstic acid
have been taken. The properties are
located fourteen miles northeast of
Garrison.
Mr.. Cowan is possessed of the idea
that he has made a strike with the
uncompromising punch of pile dri-
yer. Things are looking mighty pros
porous to the two wayfarers.

Faced by q beetling fortress OF
facts In one of the most sensational
attempts at murder in the history OF
the state. Joseph A. Bishop. charged
with poisoning M. b. Connel at Elko,
was sentenced Wednesday afternoon
by Judge c. j. McFadden to term
in the penitentiary ranging from ten
years to life. The local jurist re-
turned Thursday.
The wife, who was the Lady Mac
beth in the murder plot. received ten
years behind jail bars, which may be
increased to life. The culprits at
tempted to murder the old man for
his money, but their effort were
doomed to failure. The scene was
well staged. Although the defend
ants arranged their plans with the
skill of a master of tragedy, the plans
of the conspirators came to naught.
The story is one of compelling In
terest, and II Is believed that more
light will be shed on the affair which
will form a complete chain OF evi-
dence against certain prominent per-
sons in Elko county, who played a
part In the famous case. The author
tiles intend to weave a net around
every accessory before and after thk
fact.
Startling developments are antici'
pated By those who have followed the
case closely. The entering OF a plea
of guilty by Bishop has caused con-
sternation among those who are sus.
pected of having an intimate knowl.
edge of the attempt to obtain the
money from Connell.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT Is
PAID TO NOTED MILL NAN

AS a silent token of esteem to the
memory of one of the men who first
conceived the idea of commercializ-
ing the vast deposits Of low grade
copper porphyries. the wheels
OF industry at McGill and Copper
Flat were stilled last Tuesday after
noon. between the hours of 2 and
$3.50 o'clock.
The brief suspension of operations
was sanctioned by General Manager
C. b. Lakenan in honor of Frank g.
Janney. whose funeral occurred at
Los Angeles during that period. Mr..
Janney died nine days ago in Los
Angeles following an operation for
appendicitis.
His association with ID. c. Jackling
began at Mercur, Utah in the latter
nineties, and his connection with the
Utah Copper company dates from It's
Incorporation.

Referee Farley Smoot called the
ten-round bout between Eddie Duffy
and Perry Lewis at the Bio hall last
night a draw, and many claimed that
he did not work an injustice to either
lad when he did SO. For that matter
1t might be said that Smoot did not
have the endorsement of all tho fight
fans, while he was hosting the glow
ed hand of each of the welterweights
aloft, as there were a number in that
monster crowd yelling for Lewis.
II was their contention that Lewis
had slight shade in the majority of
the ten rounds, and that as he scor-
ed clean knockdown, he was enti-
tied to the decision Both lads were
as busy as beavers from the first bell
to the last, and there were those who
contended that it was eminently fair
to let them divide the honors. They
both carried themselves like Trojans
and fought their way into the affec-
tion of the district fight fans.
George Pappas, the Greek, was q

The suit brought by Max Herman
of McGill against e. w. Hulse. the
Salt Lake broker, resulted in a VIC
tory for Herman and the jury assess
ed the damages at $500 and total
costs of court. A conclusion was
reached at 1920 o'clock last night
and after the verdict was announced,
1t was agreed that all proceedings be
stayed ten days.
The trial has occupied the atten-
tion of the court and jury for the
entire week. and has attracted more
attention than any civil case tried in
this county In many years. Numer-
Gus witnesses were examined and the
legal battle between counsel for the
opposing sides was spirited in the
extreme. The plaintiff, Herman, was
represented by Messrs. Chandler &
Quayle and ]. NJ. Lockhart, while
the interests of Mr.. Hulse we're cared
for by G.. F. Boreman and District
Attorney Zurich.
Herman claimed damages in the
sum of $4,000 for injuries alleged
to have been received as the result
of a beating administered by Hulse
at the railroad depot In Ely on March
s. 1915. His contention was that
he had been unable to attend to his
business in the regular manner for
some twenty days following the as
sault, and that he had found 1t nee
essary to consult a specialist in Salt

were anxious to be enrolled on the

Max Herman Is Awarded
Damages by Jury 1ria]

Lake City. An X-ray picture BY
which the plaintiff claimed that q
broken rib was shown, was the sub
ject of considerable discussion. DR..
c.. E. Early explained the picture to
the jury and testified that in his opin-
lon the rib was broken. On the other
hand, Drs. I. Alexander and Lew Wal
lace testified that In their examina-
ton of Herman they were unable to
lind any fracture.
Defendant Hulse did not deny the
beating. but set up in mitigation the
fact that Herman had circulated ru-
mors calculated to injure the broker
age business of Hulse, as we'll as the
personal reputation of the defendant
himself. Herman did not deny cer-
tain damaging statements, but claim
ed that he had reason to and did be-
lieve them true. Hulse then brought
numerous witnesses to show that the
statements made were false.
The entire day yesterday was con-
sumed in argument by the respective
counsel. commencing at ten O'Clock
In the morning and concluding at
5. 80 last night. when the matter was
submitted to the following jurors for

Duffy and LeWis Fight Ten Round
DraW at Bio, Before Big audience

Rjo hall, Eddie johnson, the scrap
per from Pueblo, got out a special
haymaker edition on different parts
of the Greeks form.
johnson had no trouble In getting
what he sought, and managed 70 get
a little red ink in the headlines. The
press was stopped in the tenth John
son began to set type Immediately.
while his adversary demonstrated
that he was a novice at the printing
game. Johnson had each round by SO
wide a margin that the lad from the
Hellenes had but little to say in the
preparation of the sport edition.
The affair was mixture of the
comic and the tragic. Outweighing
johnson thirty-five pounds, and be-
ing utterly ignorant of the funda-
mental principles of boxing, Pappas
made a pitiable showing. Johnson
forced the fighting throughout the
ten rounds, and went after his adver-
sary with tiger-like ferocity and the
courage of a man who attends poll
tical meeting before dinner. Pappas
broke his left hand in the fifth, but
the ultimate outcome would never
have been the same II the accident
had not occurred.

CONSOLIDATION
RUMOR SOLVED

There have been quite recently
the frequently recurring rumors OF
the amalgamation of the CONSOLIDATE
ed Coppermines interests, with the
Nevada Consolidated or In other
words that the Nevada Con. had alb
sorbed the Consolidated Coppermines.
These rumors occur with the persist
ency with which fleas appear on a
dog, and Invariably result In q whole
lot of talk and conjecture. In the
last instance, the noticeable rise in
Con. Coppermines stock quotations
has been an argumentatiye feature.
The News has taken pains to run
down the rumors to their origin, and
can state that so far as any possibil-
ity of consolidation between the two
companies named is concerned, there
is nothing doing. The rumor is de-
MED In toto, as without the founda-
tion of fact.
In tracing the latest rumor to
some source. the News is of the opin-
ion that all the talk of consolidation
between the two companies Is attrib-
utable to the announcement which
appears elsewhere in this issue of the
News, of the engagement of Miss
Arvilla Vanderhoef, daughter of E. E.
Nanderhoef, the well known superin-
tendent of the Nevada Cons extern
sive operations at the mines, and
Mr.. John Nagls. chief clerk for the
Consolidated Coppermines company.

A[LENbRAGGO|ES
|COMM|TSSU|C|DE|A AT HOME IN RENO

Allen C. Bragg, editor of the White
Pine News, when Ely was genteely
agitating all sections of the country
ten years ago, through reports of
vast deposits of low grade copper
ores, died last Monday afternoon at
his home in Reno, following stroke
of apoplexy.
With his death Nevada loses a man
who was closely identified with jour-
nalistic enterprises aud politics for
more than fifty years. and the Ely
district mourns the death of one, who
as police judge in this locality. struck
terror into the hearts of all evil
doers. A tendency on his part to
mete out heavy fines to gun toters
gave him an unenviable reputation
among the criminally inclined in all
parts of the country.
Mr.. Bragg was born in Dover, Me-.
in 1S4S, and moved to Nevada with
his parents when he was Is years old.
During the height of the Comstock
excitement his father conducted =
lumber yard near Carson City. The
! Braggs moved to the Truckee Mead
ows shortly after the completion of
the Central Pacific railroad to that
point, and continued In the lumber
business in their new location.
| Always taking an active interest In
political affairs Mr. Bragg was APP
pointed chief clerk to Warden Bet
terman of the state penitentiary
when he was scarcely of age. 1t was
during this period that the deceased
accepted the business management
of the Reno Evening Gazette. After
engaging in agricultural pursuits In
Long valley for four years, Mr.. Bragg
and A. o. Porter purchased the Ga
zette. He assumed the management
OF that publication until 1903, when
he sold his interese to C. A. Norcross.
The management of the Silver
State at Winnemucca was offered to
Mr.. Bragg and he was unable to re-
sist the call. He conducted that pub
lication for several years, and moved
: to Ely in 1906 to assume the man
agement of the White Pine News.
He was nominated on the Republi-
can ticket against E. D. Kelley, but
the silver craze was predominant In
the state at that time, and he went
down to defeat with the rest of the
standard bearers. He was sergeant
at arms of the senate during the last
session of the legislature.
The deceased is survived by a Wild
ow, a son, Fred Allen Bragg. a step
| daughter, Mrs. Gladys Rowe OF Lund.
and two sisters, Mrs. r. L. Fulton Of
Reno, and Mrs. William R. Jevny Of
Piedmont, Cal.
Mrs. Rowe left last Monday for
Reno to attend the funeral. She
expects to remain with her mother
during the summer months.
