RETURNS FROM SAD MISSION.

G. s. Hoag returned from Los An
geles during the week, after being
with his father in his last illness.
Mr.. Hoag, Sr., reached the ripe
old age of eighty years. He was
one of the heroes who offered his
services during the civil war and
was connected with the medical
corps. He later made his home in
Denver, Colorado, until few years
ago, when he moved to California in
his declining years.
He is survived by his widow, one
daughter, Mrs. A G. Burton of Los

COUNTY IS SUED
BYO' NELL BROS.
FOR s|2S,000

A bin which will probably be the
subject of extended litigation and
occupy the attention OF the courts
for many months was presented to
the board of county commissioners
at their regular meeting during the
week.
The claim is made by O'NeilI
Brothers, OF Elko, who are among
the most extensive sheep owners in
the western country. The sum de-
manded is $12S, 100000 and is based
upon damages which it Is alleged re-
suited from the action of the county
officials about two years ago, when
at the request of large ranch and
stock owners in this county large
band S6f sheep belonging to the
O,Neill Brothers was held up for
some time and delayed on their
journey to the southern range. At
that time it was said that rabid
coyotes were following sheep coming
from the north and to prevent the
spread of the disease and consequent
loss to the ranchers and live stock
men OF this county an effort was
made to quarantine and prevent
sheep being driven from the north
through this county to the southern
range. The state authorities were
appealed to and finally the band Of
sheep after being held some days
was permitted to proceed When
they reached the Nye county line
they were again stopped by the
officials of that county and longer
delayed. 1t is claimed that the
action on the part of the officials 30
delayed the sheep that they were
overtaken by deep snow and great
loss thereby suffered before the
southern range was reached. At
the time of the attempted quaran-
time. there was considerable discus
sion between the owners Of the
sheep and the county officials who
were backed up and advised by Dis
trict Attorney Jurich who took q
determined stand in the matter. The
outcome OF the litigation which will
doubtless follow will be watched
with more than passing interest.

port fled three indictments two of
which are against Mike Basta, while

By the indictments Basta is charged
with two offenses. The first is
an accusation that the defendant at
tempted to obstruct the course of
justice by endeavoring to prevent
by persuasion one Mitar Perovich
from appearing as a witness before
the grand inquisitorial body in the
matter of an Investigation being SON
Quoted. The second indictment
charges Basta with having receiver
from one John Zakula a promise to
pay the SHIN of $4,000 as copmen-
sation, upon the representation by
Basta that he could successfully in

brought to trial which viii probably
be in the early fall
The report of the grand jury
deals with a variety of subjects. and
in the main is commendatory to the
city and county officials. 1t finds
that some of the recommendations
previously submitted have been
carried out or are in the way OF be-
ing complied with. while in other
instances recommendations have not
been met.
The grand jury has been n session
for several months sand has made a
thorough and conscientious inves-

Is presumed that eventually the de-
liberations of the inquisitoral body
will bear fruit through compliance
by those in charge of public affairs
with the suggestions and recommen-
dations made.

PRIZE FIGHT JULY 4TH
ENDS IN A DRAW

i, The two prize fights staged by Pro.
inoter Chambers in Bio hall on the
Fourth of July were we'll attended
but the crowd was not as large a.
was anticipted by the card presented
This may be somewhat accounted
for, however, by the fact that some
conditions surrounding the main
event were not satisfactory.
Before the fight Promoter Cham
bers, in his sportsmanlike manner,
stepped through the ropes and de-
Clared all bets off. When asked for
an explanation he plainly stated
that he was catering to the public
and so long as he was connected with
such affairs the public would be pro-
teeted. He said he had reason to
mistrust some things surrounding
the bout and therefore made the
open statement. 1t developed that
Bratton had gone to the promoter
before the fight and, claiming to be
sick, asked to have local man sub
stituted. This the promoter in just
ice to the public refused Upon hay-
ing physician examine Bratton, the
illness of which he complained was
not evident to the medical man. IL
Bratton was sick no one could see It.
To say the least the fight was not
Satisfactory. Bratton walked to the
center of the ring In each round and
presented his jaw to Julian without
the slightest attempt at protection.
Julian put his glove in Bratton's
face but there was not steam enough
behind his punch TO kiii q fly.
In the ninth round the Mexican
was out on the ropes. but as Bratton
whaled away Julian leaned against
the rope and took 1t. When Bratton
was out of steam the Mexican came
back and in the last few seconds OF
the round landed just as effective
blows as he did in any other round
of the fight. Referee Packey Nc.
Farlapd called the bout draw, un-
der an agreement between the nner
that II both were on their feet and
fighting at the end OF the tenth
round they should get draw. Sc
ended the first unsatisfactory battle
ever staged by Promoter Chambers
but for which he was In no way to
blame.
The six-round bout between Har-
ry Beecher and Young Brown. two
local boys, was well worth witness
ing. It was clearly a battle of sci
ence against strength. Brown. who
Ii known as the Greek athlete, Is
wonder for taking punishment.
AS for Beecher. he gave the pref
tiest exhibition of boxing ever wit
messed, and surprised his admirers
by has showing of strength.
Before the opening of the boxing,
little Weldy Mink of McGill, stand
ing about three feet high. gave a
marvellous exhibition of bag punch
ing. Money was showered into the
ring midst storms of applause.

A noticeable fact worthy of con-
