WEST ENO-J|M BUTLER
DECISION IS RENDERED
LONG CONTESTED CASE WILL
PROBABLY GO TO HIGHEST
COURT

The supreme court has handed
down it's decision in the West End
Jim Butler case, which occupied the
attention of the court for several
days in the first part of February.
Tie case was tried by some of the
leading legal talent of the west, and
the trial before the supreme court
attracted much attention in mining
circles. Many maps and models of
the mines were introduced in evil
dence, and the giants of the law
had a great battle of words. 1t is
the apex question, with many vari-
ations, and takes in points of law
never before adjudicated. The de-
cision of the supreme court sustainS
TIE lower court, giving damages to
the amount of $1,600,00 to the
West End company. 1t is probable
that the case will be carried to the
supreme court of the United States
for final settlement.
During the trial last February the
West End company was represented
Downer, James F. Peck, H. H. At
kinson, Walter d. Cole, while the
Jim Butler company was represent
ed by Judges Curtis H. Lindlev,
Hugh H. Brown and Everett Culby.
The opinion is by Judge N%orcross.
and %concurred in by Judges McCar-
ran and Coleman.-Carson News.

Killed i'm Auto Accident

Jacob S.. Satler, a partner OF
John Ross in mines at Unionvilln,
was fatally injured in an auto
mobile accident a few days ago
and died the next day. He was
an inexperienced driver and was re-
turning to Unionville from INLAY
when the machine ran off an I'M
bankment and fell about Is feet,
pinning him beneath it. John
Ross, who was at a mill nearby
saw the accident and summoned
help. The car was lifted and Sat-
tier, who was still conscious, was
taken from beneath it. He said
that he had become confused and
turned on the gas instead of shut
ting it off.

P. Gonzales, a Mexican who was
arrested in Reno by Patrolman Fife
on a charge of carrying a conceal
ed weapon, was fined $40 for the
offense. According to the pat
ROMANS account Of the trouble,
Gonzales made an effort to draw
his gun when the officer went to
make the arrest. Fife gave it as
his opinion that Gonzales would
have used the gun on him a
he not held the Mexican's hands
when he attempted to get the wea-
pom. Gonzales and another Mexi-
can had trouble with a laborer and
Gonzales partner tried to carve
the laborer with a knife, but only

GHOST IS
CAUSE Of EXCITEMENT
IAST-FLYING APPARITION PER
FORMS STUNTS ON EAST
CROOK STREET

A galloping, jumping will-o'-the-
East Crook street last night about
nine o'clock. 1t was first seen by
Billy Wilbur, a boy living in the
neighborhood, in the block between
Sundog and Blake. He describes
the mystery as being dressed in
white and wearing a white veil. 1t
collided with him while travelling at
high speed, bowled him over, ran
up on the sidewalk and cut across a
board platform on the south side of
the street, took a three-foot leap
off the end and proceeded south at
an astonishing gait.
Fred Moore, employed in the en-
%gineering department of the Con-
solidated Mines company, who was
sitting on a porch nearby, chased
the apparition as far south as the
Sundog school. He says that he be
lieves the wearer of the ghostly at
tire was a mar dressed in wOman's
clothers.
The what-is-it was seen by sew
eral persons, but no II knows
whence it came or whittier or why
il was travelling, but Moore states
that if it is still going at the sane
gait it was travelling when it brae@ed
past the Sundog school, it is now
in South America.

BOOMING

Louis Ferro and Peter Malherbe
were among the arrivals from Cling
house yesterday morning, and they
brought in a gold bar weighing Is
pounds and valued at $4,000 which
they deposited in the Washoe county
bank. The gold brick was the re-
suit of a recent cleanup at the
Texas No. 2 mine and it is reported
that Olinghouse is still on the map,
and that the camp is experiencing
a boom.-Reno Journal.

n GOLD CIRCLE
MONTH PRODUCTION OF MET
AIS WILL PROBABLY SHOW
BIG INCREASE

Last week Mr.. Tomlason and Mr..
Wason were in camp and spent
three days sampling the Grizzly
group of nine claims belonging to
Messrs. Noble and Stone, says the
Gold Circle correspondent of the
Humboldt Star. This group is sit
uated next to the Elko Prince and
in the heart of the mineral zone
and has three excellent showings,
namely, the Hillside, Lucky Boy
and Grizzly.
Work is being pushed forward on
the Water Witch tunnel and night
and day shifts are working. 1t
should be another 100 feet before
the tunnel begins to cut the regu-
lar north and south formations.
Paul Ehlers, one of the original
owners of the Elko Prince and leas-
ing at present on the June Bell, has
returned from San Diego. He will
start active work soon.
The Prince mill on Prince ore,
the Rex mill on tailings and the
Coots two-stamp mill on Queen ore.
are all working now, so the output
this month should be good. The
Prince has some very rich ore on
the 600-foot level and it should ma
terially increase the output.

with depth and is a huge body of

TONOPAH ITALIAN
GETS INTO TROUBLE
STARTED MORE THAN HE
FIGURED ON WHEN HE OBJ
TANNED WARRANT

Yesterday morning Ed Benuzzi,
an Italian, entered the sheriff's
office and told Sheriff Ingalls, that
ne had come from Tonopah TO
search for his intended bride, who
mad left him in Tonopah, taking
with her $50 of his money. A
warrant was issued for her ar
rest charging here with grand
larceny and Deputy Sheriff Bo-
gard went forth to round her up.
He returned with the women,
one Lillian Robinson, and took her
before District Attorney Diskin,
who was startled to find that the
sweetheart of Benuzzi was color
ed. She told her story with the
result that Bogard vas sent after
Benuzzi, armed with a warrant
charging him with threatening to
stab the colored woman.
On the return of Bogard with
his prisoner, Benuzzi and his
dusky affinity were closely ques-
toned by the district attorney, with
the result that another charge,
that of c%ohabiting with a black
female, was placed against the
italian and Bogard went through
the formality of placing him under
arrest on the second charge and
proceeded to the Las, Chance sa-
loon on North Main street, where
Benuzzi and the colored woman
said they had been living, and
there placed under arrest Mrs.
Marguerite Barra, proprietor of the
saloon, on a charge of keeping a
disorderly house, whereby the peace
and decency of the neighborhOod
were disturbed
Mrs. Barra was tried in the JUS
tice court this morning and found
guilty of the charge alleged i'll
the complaint. She will be SEN
fenced tomorrow at 10 a. m. She
is liable to a fine of not to ex-
ceed $500 of 60 days in Jail. The
trials of Benuzzi and the Robinson
woman have been set for tomorrow
at 10 a. m. The Tonopah au-
thorities are said to want Benuzzi
or another charge.

Carlin Man Shot

Thomas McKenna, Jr., of Car
lin met with a serious accident
while hunting so miles north of
that place. With several others
he motored to the hunting ground
and while taking his shotgun from
the ear, he drew it toward him.
The gun went off and tore away
a part of the little finger of one
hand and badly ~lacerated the palm
of the other. 1t is probable that
the injury is of permanent nature,
but the functions of the hand YER
not permanently destroyed. The
charge passed through the hat
of another member of the party.

FINED So AND COSTS

paid a portion of her fine. and al
though Maud is suffering from the
effects of the clever use of the
razor in the hands of Flossy, sister
ly love and affection now reign be-
tween the pair. Judge Arnold had
a h~eart-to-heart talk with F1ossy
when he sentenced her, endeavoring
to impress upon her the evil of an
injudicious use of a razor.

ANOTHER SACRIFICE
FOR HARMONY.

The noble part played by Colonel
Rorer A. James in stepping aside and
leaving Representative Carter Glass
a clear field for a position on the
National Democratic Committee was
referred to in yesterdays Gazette.
But little, however, was said concern
ing the equally able sacrifice made
by Congressman Hal Flood in the in
terests of the democratic party.
The latter appears from this angle
to be the leader in self sacrifice in
the effort to assure harmony in the
Democratic convention at Roanoke
next Friday.
Mr.. Flood was regarded as prom
inent possibility for national COM
mitteeman before he eliminated HIM
self from the field as to that honor
bv declaring for Congressman Car
ter Glass. That was sacrifice No. l.,
in the plan to give the position to
Glass. without opposition.
When Mr.. James Of Danville got
into the field for national commit
teeman a condition of affairs was
treated which promised an unfortu-
nate struggle, at Roanoke.
All this time Mr.. Flood was the
one best guess for state chairman to
succeed j. Taylor Ellyson, if the
latter withdrew, because of his can
didacy for the gubernatorial noIn;-
nation. Now Flood stands aside to
make way for james to be chairman
when James retires as candidate
for national committeeman. This is
sacrifice No. 2.
There is no doubt that Flood could
have had the state craftsmanship.
The course of the Tenth district
Congressman in overlooking himself
in order to compose the general sit
uation for the good of his party in
the state commands admiration.
Flood has made his reputation fully
as a fighter; this year he has been
demonstrating that he can do just
as much as a peacemaker, and he is
decidedly bigger figure in Virginia
democracy today that he ever was
before

ter arrival Of the Puritans at Ply
mouth Rock, Jews settled in New
York, then New Amsterdam. On
April 80, 1892, the decree was made
public which expelled the Jews from
Spain. On the same day Columbus
was ordered to equip a Aeet for his
voyage to The Indies, which led to
|this; discovery of America.
at least five Jews accompanied
Columbus on lis voyage. One Of
them, Torres, was the first to set
foot on the new soil. One. year later,
in 1893, Jewish children were in the

the Island Of st. Thomas from Spain.
In 1921 the sugar plant was trans
planted by Portuguese Jews from
Madeira to Brazil, And it was from
Brazil that the first Jews came to
New York.
The history of the Jewish race
from the destruction Of Jerusalem
up to the time Columbus discovered
America and for many subsequent
years is a dark blot upon the annals
Of the world. 1t is impossible in a
newspaper article to give even
synopsis, as the subject is too vast.
II took Senator Zeb Vance over an
hour in the Opera I1ouse in this city
about twenty years ago to give
short. summary, and Rabbi Calisch,
Of Richmond, on another occasion
consumed equally as much time in
presenting a brief summary OF some
of the darker chapters of mediaeval
days. They, said many things, how
ever which showed the sufferings OF
the race during most of the present
Christian era. Rabbi Calisch told OF
the Portuguese forcing thousands OF
Jews upon RATS and turning them
adrift upon the ocean. Those who
were not drowned persisted from
hungar and thirst. 1t was at this
critical time when Columbus started
for the new world and opened up an
asylum for the prosecuted race as

suffering from the overcrowding OF
