VIRGINIA STOCK GOES
BACK TO LLOYD ESTATE

The suit instituted some time aro
by Ruth Lloyd, administratrix of the
estate of VIM. Lloyd, deceased,
against the Prince Con. M. e s. Co
was settled yesterday. The con
troversy arose over the return
of a controlling number of shares in
the Virginia-Louise Mining company
to the estate after the latter com
pany having failed to exercise its
option on the stock in question. The
defendant company has returned the
stock and it's representatives will re-
tire from the board of directors of
the Virginia company and as far
as the Prince company is concerned,
it has no connection with the Vir-
ginia-Louise at all
F. R, McNamee, one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff, arrived in
town yesterday when the matter was
finally disposed of in court before
Judge Averill. w. e. Orr and A. L.

the plaintiffs.
According to II. w Rand, who
was interested in the plaintiffs side
of the controversy and who arrived
here Wednesday, says steps will be
taken to organize the new board and
in the near future He was accom-
panied by II. w. Lohman, a New
ork mining engineer, who will CON
duet an examination of the property

Shtrlf's Office Bags
a Bold, Bad Burglar

Sheriff j. A. Nesbitt and his dep-
uty, John Ewing, bagged their first
game last Wednesday at Bullion
VILE, to which point they trailed a
fellow who gave his name as John
Henley, who was wanted in Phoebe
on charge of burgalry. The par
tlcular case in which the prisoner
was implicated and in which the Of
i1cers have him with the goods" is
the ransacking of rooms at the Ne
vada House and with getting away
with an overcoat, coat and vest and
other wearing apparel belonging to
DR.. w. w. Stockham.
1t appears that Henley met Edwin
Price on the street early in the eve
ming and asked the latter for a he'd
for the night. Mr.. Price thought
that the fellow had played in hard
luck and the night being intensely
cold, took compassion on the strang-
er by inviting him to go to the Ne
vada House with him where he told
DR.. Stockham to give him a bed
Henley was shown the room that he
was TO occupy, but he did not retire.
he Informed DR.. Stockham that he
wanted to go down town and that
he would return later He did re-
turn-about three o'clock in the
morning; but instead of going m
stairs to the room assigned to him.
passed down the hallway on the first
noor, entered a room near the kitch-
en- and began to rig himself out with
some of the Doctors clothes. Mean
while the latter heard the fellow
pass by his room and afterwards
enter the place where he committed
the theft DR.. Stockham began to
investigate and caught Henley in the
the room, who almost instantly
brushed by DR.. Stockham and made
race for the front door-the doc
tor in pursuit The latter landed
on the intruder with a strong blow
from his fist, knocking him down:
he then grabbed a chair and broke
1t over the burglars head, but the
weapon was not sufficient to do eff
fective work. Meanwhile Henley

ham could not very take Up the
chase.
When daylight came it was -a,sy
covered that Dorothys barber \shSp
had been broken into and some
money taken from the cash regiAter
also Dorothy's fine collection of raz-
ors. No doubt some cigars were
taken from the case, but more of
the best grade Havanas were found
dumped onto the floor and DESTROYED
by being stepped on Entrance was
open the front door. When the re-
port of the two burglaries became
known, it was naturally assumed
that they were committed by the
same person and the officers are in
possession of evidence that this was
the case. 1t is believed that the
barber shop was entered before the
excitement occurred at the Nevada
house, for the next morning nearly
all or the razors taken from Doro-
thy's place were found scattered
down the street, indicating that they
were lost while Henley was trying
to make his getaway.
1t may be that Henley had an ac-
complice in the barber shop burgla-
ry; and it may be that he had some
thlng to do with the burglarizing of
the Clark saloon early Tuesday
morning, when all the prizes were
stripped from punch board, the
value of which was about $50, the
till tapped for several dollars in
cash and several bottles of whiskev
taken. The officers, however. have
been unable thusfar to find any evil
dence that Henley was in any way
connected with the breaking into
the Clark place.
1t is probable that Henley will be
arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Thomas today or tomorrow.
The defendant is a hard looking
character and officials connected
with the sheriffs office believe that
he is hardened criminal.

IL DiSINCORPORATE-
BAD BLOW TO CITY

Talk of disincorporating Las We
gas as a city and returning to the
less centralized county and state gov
ernment is again circulating around
certain quarters. and the talk goes
so far as to say that a movement
is being pushed to bring the subject
before the coming legislature by
those most interested in loose gov
ernment.
AS the Clark County Review point
ed out two years ago when a similar
move was on foot, disincorporation
would be blow to the prestige of
Las Vegas, as it would advertise to
the state and to all interested in
municipal government everywhere
that Las Vegas was too weak to
maintain city government The
blow would be especially heavy in
asmuch as the Las Vegas city char
ter has been used as model by
many communities all over the coun-
try and is said to be on the whole
an unusually good one.
In Nevada particularly the disin-
corporation would brand Las Vegas
as being of uncertain foundation, in
asmuch as Las Vegas was the first
city to incorporate as a commission
governed municiDality and at tbot
time it received notice and more or
less commendation from other cities
and from newspapers of the state.
70 have a city of 1000 or 5000 dis
incorporate after a period of five
years would be a blow in the back
to those who have the greatest faith

DAWSON ACQUITTED
OF MURDER CHARGE

1t was the judgement of the jury
which heard the trial of the Dawson
murder case that the defendant.
Chas. E. Dawson, was justified in
killing Tim Mahoney, the Salt Lake
Route engineer, at Caliente last Sep
tember. The jury consisted of the
following residents of Lincoln coun-
ty: A. d. Geer, John Richard, w. E..
Hammond, James e. Price, George
Hanson. Ernest Gentry, D. L. Stewart
Ray Stewart, Paul Succetti, Chas.
Castles, L. w. Lee and c. L. Blad.
The case was brought to a eonclus-
ion last Saturday evening after the
jury had been out about an hour
and half
The fact that Mahoney was a mar
ried man himself, that he at
tempted to interfere in the do
nestle relations between Dawson and
his wife, and testimony to the effect
that he had endeavored to induce
Dawsons wife to leave her husband
for him, no doubt were weighty
things in the minds of the jurors
who brought in verdict of acauittal.
Dawson's wife and three little
children were here during the trial
of the case The acouitted man and
his family returned to Caliente Mon
day afternoon
The prosecution of the case was
conducted by District Attorney w.
E. Orr, while the interests of the de-
fendant were looked after by Attor-
ney Leo. A. McNamee of Las Vegas.

A Communication
Caliente, Jan. II, 1917

Caliente, Jan. IT, 1917.
To The Editor of The Record:
1t has been proposed by a number
OF the prominent citizens of our town
that we invite the people of the coun-
ty to hold county fair in Caliente
some time in September or October
of the present year, the date to be
agreed upon later.
We think that the most effective
way to advertise and bring before
the public the wonderful resources
of our county, the wonderful fer
tility of our soil, and the adaptabili-
ty of the same to a great variety of
products, is by holding annual fairs.
We suggest that if this PROPOSE
ton meets the approval of the citi-
zens, that committees be appointed
in each town or precinct to promote
the same, and that all hands lend
their support in order that a suit
able and creditable exhibit may be
made from all parts of the county
and from all the various industries.
Such as mining, stock raising, poul-
try, agriculture, manufacturing, etc.
We should like. to hear from those
interested in the matter through the
Record.
Very respectfully,
