SNOWBOUND ATTORNEYS.
FILE BRIEFS

The Reno Gazette has the following
relative to Attorneys Van Fleet and
Badt and the famous potato case in
which they are engaged on opposing
sides:
"The recent blockade on the Vir-
ginia C Truckee road failed to intere-
fere with the supreme court at Carson
City, in one case at least, despite the
fact that the storm held one of the
attorneys at the capital and stranded
the other in Reno. With Carey Van
Fleet of Elko, representing one side
OF the controversy between H. Agee
and the district court of Elko county,
and Mel Badt on the other, they
agreed TO submit the matter on briefs.
1t was an application for a writ of GER
tiorari to compel the district court to
dismiss an appeal from the justice

Attorney Van Fleet left Carson
City yesterday and reached Reno last
night on the first train out of the
snow-beleaguered capital. He expects
to go to Winnemucca tonight where
he has business to transact and to go
thence to his home at Elko.

RAILROAD OPENED
TO CARSON CITY

The first regular passenger train to
leave Reno on the Virginia and
Truckee railroad since Sunday started
for Carson City yesterday morning at
nine o'clock. It consisted of a mail
car, completely filed with sacks OF
mail; baggage car, and an express
car loaded to overflowing with pro-
visions and packages, and one pas.
senger coach. The passenger coach
was crowded with Carson City and
Carson Valley residents who have
been stranded in Reno for three days.
The train was preceded by two en-
gines and snow ploy, and trainmen
expected to make the trip to Carson
City In good time.
After bucking the snow all aay yes
terday, the snow plow, pushed by
three engines, managed to get to Reno
at 6:15 o'clock last night, and at 1880
o'clock returned to Carson City with
one passenger coach.
Today, trainmen said, the work of
clearing the road from Moundhouse
to Virginia City was in progress. and.
although snow is drifted TO great
depth in many places. 1t is expected
the train will get to the Comstock by
noon tomorrow.
The road from Carson City to Min
den was opened yesterday and regular
service resumed between the two
cities.
The local train due in Reno from
Carson City at 11:20 today was annul-
led, but the regular service will be put
on tomorrow. II the road to Virginia

II will thus be seen that neither of
the three men would have enough
votes to nominate, and one of the
prettiest fights ever held in a Repub-
lican state convention in this state
would be staged. Political manipu-
lation of the finesse of a Matt Quay
would be necessary to nominate the
one man upon whom all the Repub)i-
cans could support and without any
outward violence of a hatchet in the
hands of the friends of the DEBATED
ones. This forecast of the vote each
candidate may have in the convention
is based upon the opinion and feeling
as expressed by friends of each can
didate, but 1t must be borne in mind
that in the election of delegates at
the primary, the personal popularity
of delegate in his county and the
campaign he makes is going to cut n
big figure, and 1t is possible that the
entire result would depend largely
upon that very feature. Speculation
Is also rife as to the outcome In the
state if Norcross and Pittman are op-
ponents. Friends of Norcross say that
in Washoe county he would have a
majority of from 1900 to 1900 over
P!ttman and with the normal Republi-
car vote he is cure to receive through
out the state will wipe out the pos
sible majority the junior senator
might have when he reaches the banks
.cf the TrucKee. Senator Pittman's
friends laugh at these figures and say
that Senator Pittanm beat as strong
4 man as Norcro9s when he made ia. /.
race against the late Senator Massey.
Other political wiseacres predict that
It will be close and tough fight
should Platt be nominated against
I'iltman, and would be toss up and
a good guesser who could name tie
winner. But the nagain looms up tie
rC sibility of Oddie, the Roosevelt of
the Republicans of Nevada. who,
friends of his in both parties say, is
the most dangerous man TO cope with
in politics in this state and he Is yet
10 be heard from. Friends of Judge
McCarran, who Is also a native SON.
insist that in the event Of his secur-
ing the nomination for senator on the
Democratic ticket, he will defeat any
Republican that can be named; they
play no favorites to speak of, only
saying that 1t Is n cinch he will beat
Platt by big majority, beating him
even in the stronghold of the Repub-
lican party, Washoe county by from
200 to 800. That is between McCar-
ran and Norcross he will about break
even in Washoe and will carry the
balance of the state by from 800 to
1900. With Oddie 1t is figured 1t viii
be little closer, as McCarrGn and
Oddie are somewhat alike in their
vote getting proclivities, but those be-
ing equal and the normal DeT ocratic
majority in the state being betweea
700 and 500, McCarran's friends say
he would be sure winner, no matter
what Republican is nominated. So
there you are, rather interesting
political situation--with the women
still to be heard from.
