The performance will be presented

for once it must be conceded that at
least one show not only exhibits all
it advertises, but ten times more.
Mr.. ]. c. Tracy, the veteran show
agent, was in the city some ten days
ago and made all contracts and ar
rangements, and record breaking
crowds may be expected on Wednes-

FRIEDMAN TAKES
WITNESS STAND

A vigorous and telling defense is
oelng put up in the 100000 libel suit
OF January Jones VS.. l.. A. Friedman,
on trial before a jury in the District
Court Defendant Friedman was on
the stand all of the forenoon, and tes-
tlhed, in substance, that he came to
Nevada in 1905, and had resided in
Goidheld, Fairview and Lovelock since
that time. During these years he had
been prominently identified with the
Seven Troughs Coalition, Seven
froughs Mining, Rochester Mines and
Rochester Combined Mines companies.
Defendant first became acquainted
with plaintiff Jones at Goldfield, but
lost track of him until 1915, when
plaintiff came to Reno and started a
mining paper. in May of that year
He had paid Jones various sums OF
money for work until the latter part
of 1915, when plaintiff commenced
demanding money, stating that he
could publish damaging maps, If de-
fendant didn't come through" In
February, 1916, defendant severed all
relations with plaintiff, on account of
these unreasonable demands. During
the first part of April of that year
Jones called up defendant by tele-
phone and stated that if defendant
failed to come through" with a cash
payment of $500, with additional pay-
ments of 800 a week, plaintiff would
go after him in his paper. Defendant
refused to comply with the demand,

there were published a. map and ar
tiele which defendant claimed were
misleading. To protect his stock
holders and save his company, Fried
man testified he was forced to send
out the telegram which was made the
basis for the present suit. Defendant
claimed there was no ill-feeling or
malice connected with the sending OF
the telegram and that he was only
actuated by the best of motives.
The cross-examination of defendant
IS being conducted this afternoon.
