Contempt Charge Aaginst
J. c. Tognoni Is Dismissed
District Judge Mark A. Averl Renders Important Decision
in Duck Creek Water Litigation of Long Duration

An important case was decided in
the District court in Tonopah during
the week, when j. C. Tognini was dis
missed on a charge of contempt filed
by Ralph Irwin as the agent OF F. C.
Vanover, last July. The contempt
charge arose out of litigation over
the waters of Duck Creek, which oc-
cupied the attention of the courts for
many years and was eventually dis
posed of by decree entered in 1909
defining the rights of the various
parties to the water. The claim
made against Mr.. Tognini was that
he was holding and using water to
which he was not entitled under the
decree and therefore In contempt.
The matter was taken into court
and resulted in a judgment OF guilty

SAM PLATT ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY

Samuel Platt yesterday formal,
announced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for United
States Senator. according to a tele
gram received by the News.
This announcement will not come
as surprise because IL has been
quite generally known that Mr.
Plat was being urged by great
number of his friends all over the
state to enter the race.
The Republican party is to be con
graduated upon having such excel
lent timber from which to make its
selection for the high Office of United
States senator this year.
Mr.. Platt is a native Nevadan and
is generally conceded to be one OF
the most able men the state has yet
produced, aside from which he is in
the prime OF life and has an in
exhaustible fund of energy. He was
defeated by Senator Newlansd In the
last election by margin so narrow
that the result could not be deter
mined until the last precinct, nc
matter how small. had been heard
from. Mr.. Platt enjoys an enviabls
record In this state. and with him
no voter can make a mistake, fol
the reason that any office entrusted
to HIS care would be In safe and COM
petcnt hands.

being endered against Tognini. He
later procured the seyices of Messrs
Chandler G Quayle OF Ely. and Mr..
Chandler, after looking into the mat
ter, moved for a reopening of the
case. He was successful with his
motion which was based upon the
ground that Mr.. Tognini has been
adjudged guilty upon a hearing for
which he had not proper time to pre-
pare or be represented by counsel.
On January the third the matter
was again brough up and the case
tried upon its merits with the result
that by a lengthy opinion filed by
Judge Mark A. Averill the charge of
contempt filed against Mr.. Tognini
is adjudged not to have been sus-
tanned and he is dismissed.

Sutton all starred for Elko, while
Fernald and Griswold play extraor-
binary ball. The final score was 23
to Is. Had the game lasted three
minutes longer Ely would most sure
ly have won for they were travel
ing like limited passenger trains and
hardly seemed heated at the end of
the contest. The second game on
Friday brought Wells and Winnie
mucca together. The Winnemucca
boys were a bit overconfident from
the night before and Wells outplay-
ed them in the first half, the score
standing 9 to 4. But the second half
found Winnemucca fighting desper-
ately for the lead The Wells lads
played out and Winnemucca romped
away with the game, the score be-
ing 49 to 20.
The fastest and hardest fought
contest of the whole tournament was
played by Ely and Winnemucca on
Saturday morning. This game
eclipsed anything of the kind ever
played in Elko. Both teams started
out at a heart-breaking pace. which
was kept up until the end Marvel
Gus passing. clever shooting and rap
Id dribbling featured throughout.
First one team would gain an ad-
vantage of one or two points and
then the other desperately gainst the
lead. The large audience howled like
demons and urged on the struggling 6
players. The score at the end of the
first half stood 16 to Is, favoring
Winnemucca. The second half was
more terrific than the first. Time
and again Ely swept the ball down
the field, using all five players to
turn the clever trick At times the
local boys played the champions to a
standstill. but they were not to be
denied. A few minutes before time
Ely was in the lead by three
points. Someone in the crowd fran
tieally pleaded with Winnemucca to
get ahead By several very lucky
field baskets at the very last min
ute Winnemueca forged aheod and
won by score of 29 to "a All the
young players are to be congratulate
ed on their playing. Ely came with
in an ace of being champion and
with another months practice would
be able to defeat both Elko and Win
nemucca.
The tournament was a great sue
cess and Professor Jensen of Elko
deserves great praise for his clever
management. Lloyd McCuffin, of the
University of Nevada, was selected as
umpire. and very skilfully handled
the games. Coach Oakley of Ely was
quite pleased with our showing and
puts Elko down in his diary as a real
live town. The lads enjoyed the hos
pitality of tn eElko people and also
have great praise for that town. The
boys who made the trip were: Ben
son and Simon, forwards; Mangum,
center; Frost and Larsen, guards;

pionship of eastern Nevada as a re-
suit of the basketball tournament
held in Elko on January 13 to Is.
The competing teams we're Winnie
mucca. Ely, Elko and Wells. The
first game of the tournament was
played on Thursday evening by Elko
and Winnemucca. 1t was a hard
fought contest from the first minute
until the last. The Winnemucca
boys were superior in basket shoot
ing. but the Elko lads displayed bet
ter teamwork and had not a little
hard luck shooting baskets. The
score was 29 to 16 in favor of Win
nemucca.
The Wells and Ely teams did not
arrive In Elko until o'clock on ac-
count of delayed trains, but both
teams we're anxious to play and the
game WAS started at 10 o'clock. The
Ely PLAYERS lost no time In scoring
and the score was Is to after five
minutes of play with Ely on the
large end The local boys were su-
perior in every department of the
game. Their rapid and smooth
teamwork attracted the attention of
the crowd and it was only a ques-
tion of how badly Wells would be
beaten. Too much cannot be said
of Benson and Simon. star forwards
and of Mangum. center. all of whom
played most exceptional ball. The
Ely guards outplayed the heavy
Wells forwards at every stage OF the
game and set up record by not al
lowing the opposing forwards one

The second night of the tourna-

Fast basketball was shown. which
greatly pleased the large crowd. The
Elko team slipped away from Ely and
at the end of the first half the score
stood 19 to Z. But the local boys
in the second half staged a
comeback that was little short of
phenomenal. They handled the ball
by excellent passing In the twenty
minutes of play they scored eleven
points while Elko was able to make
but four. Ely was handicapped by
the size and weight of the speedy
Elko boys Mayer. Clausen and

WHITE CAPS MINE
HAS GOOD SHOWING
ORE OF RICH GRADE is EN-
POSED IN SEVERAL
GOOD VEINS

A rich strike in Manhattan White
Caps a few days ago caused Al
active demand for the stock which
has more than doubled in price on
the San Francisco Exchange. The
strike was made in the east cross
cut, and is an independent ore
body from the one which brought
fame to the mine in the early
days. This orebody is west of the
Shaft and the west cross-cut now
being driven, should cut it in a few
feet.
White Caps ore is refractory and
during the leasing days of the camp
it was shipped direct to the smell
tiers. A few months ago the com
pany succeeded in working out a
process which it Is said will give
a very good extraction. At that
time, when development of the
mine was undertaken below the
22O-foot level, it vas stated that
the mill would be put in commits
sion as soon as the ore was cut
on the 315 level.
Describing conditions in the mine
the Tonopah Bonanza says:
"a general sample of all the
ore taken from the new strike in
the east cross-cut on the 315 level
of the White Caps returned 1915
in gold. There is now a dump of
about $50 tons from the find. This
ore has been subjected to the same
test as the dump ore extracted from
the second level and is found per-
fectly amenable to the proposed
treatment, yielding an extraction OF
91.6 per cent. The west cross-cut
is believed to be nearing the main
or shaft orebody."

PERRY LEWIS IS
TO FIGHT HERE
BIG SERBIAN AT CONSOLIDATED
MILL WANTS TO MEET
CARTER

Danny Mathews has matched Az
tone La Grave and Perry Lewis of
Ely for the Labor Day date.
Lewis arrived in Goldfeld yester-
day and will get busy at once con-
ditioning himself for the fight. He
is in fairly good condition nov as
he has been training at Ely with
Eddie Johnson, an Ely scrapper who
meets Leo Kelly of Salt Lake at
Ely on Labor Day.
Lewis has done most of his fight
ing the east, where he is said 70
and middleweights of the eastern
states. He is willing to bet that
he will stop La Grave in their COM
ing bout.
La Grave has been anxious TO
meet Lewis and now that the OPP
says that he will get into condition
to- provide a warm welcome for tho
Ely boy.
The preliminaries will be few,
but good and the contestants will
be announced later. Baxter is after
M%orrison's scalp and says he will
put Johnny away if he can coax
him into the ring again. Rec How
ard wants to meet Trounce and
Kid Carter may be seen in action
again.
Tom NAHUM, known as the "Ser-
hiao cJo.bo,y CONDITIONED IT.
Consolidated mill, is a white hope.
He wants to meet Carter. He
weighs 200 pounds stripped and
keeps in condition by juggling cans
of cyanide for eight hours daily.
He claims to have had considerable
experience in the ring, having fought
21 battle in British Columbia, los
ing only one. He saw Carter in
his last fight and since that time
has been anxious to get at him.
His only fault is hat he has ac-
CURED the normal American itchy
palm and asks 5000, win, lose or
draw, for his end of a 10-round
fight. He says he will bet the 5000
on himself, which will not benefit
the public, the contributors of the
$500. Jack Brown, also employed
at the mill, is his manager and If
the manager can whisper words of
reason to the man without a coun-
try and persuade him that the pro-
per thing would be a four-round
preliminary for a reasonable purse,
the millmen say that he will take
Carter's measure.
1t is said that he is a terror and
that the hordes of Hindenberg hest
tated OF the banks of the blue
Danube while the German intelli-
gence department ascertained the
w~hereabout of Tom and that on
finding he vas safe in the United
States, the great field marshall hest
tated no longer and led his legions
into Serbia.
