KEARNEY OUT FOR
THE GOVERNORSHIP

William M. Kearney, one Of the
most prominent republicans in Ne
vada, has announced himself can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor of Nevada.
Mr.. Kearney is one of the best
known men in the state and has been
one of the staunchest supporters the
republican party has had. He was for
nearly seven years state engineer, a
position he filled with marked ability.
He was appointed by former Cover
nor Tasker l.. Oddie and was retain
ed by Governor Boyle until near the
close of the last legislative session
when he resigned and took up the
practice of the law, opening Offices In
Reno.
AS state engineer, Mr.. Kearney
came into contact with most Of the
large users Of water in the state. He
was born in Iowa and came to Nevada
when year old. Most Of his life was
spent at Empire, Ormsby county. He
graduated from the mining school Of
the University of Nevada in 1904
ranking among the highest In his
class. Immediately after his gradua
tion he became connected with the
state engineers Office. The announce
ment Of his candidacy confirms the
rumors that have been prevalent fol
some time, that he would seek the
governorship.

VIRGINIA-LOUISE
GETS BIG AWARD
Prince Consolidated Must Pay
s27,O00.0O Damages Says
Judge Averill

A case of much interest was decid-
ed last week when District Judge
Mark r. Averill, of Tonopah, handed
down a decision giving the Virginia
Louise Mining Company a Judgment
for 5 27,334.3S and court costs against
the Prince Consolidated Mining and
Smelling Company. The costs are
more than $4,000.
The Virginia-Louise charged the
Prince Consolidated with trespass
and the taking of several thousand
dollars worth of ore from its prop
erty which adjoins the Prince mine.
Judge Averill decided that the Prince
was guilty of taking 1886 tons of
ore valued at $9,111.46. The court
states that the Prince extracted the
ore from plaintiffs property without
making proper surveys and in award
ing damages multiplied the value of
the ore actually taken by three. This
action is justified by the statutes.
Much Local Interest.
News OF the decision reached the
Phoebe Record Saturday morning.
Judge Charles Lee Horsey, president
of the Virginia-Louise, and General
Manager M. c. Godbe, of the Prince
Consolidated, were Immediately no
titled of the matter by the Record.
Judge Horsey stated that he was
not surprised. 1t could be seen that
the judge was highly pleased with
the courts decision.
Mr.. Godbe was at the mine when
notified by telephone of the decision.
He Immediately came to town and
after hurried conference with his
company's local attorney, A. L. Scott
left for Salt Lake City to conselt
with Dickson, Ellis and Lucas and
Edwards and Wasson, general attor-
neys for the Prince Consolidated
While no definite statement was OBJ
tainable from Mr.. Godbe, it was in
ferred that the Prince would ask
for new trial on account of newly
discovered evidence. Failing in this
an appeal will, no doubt, be taken
to higher courts.
Other Cases Pending.
The Prince Consolidated has pend
ing in the Federal court an apex
suit against the Virginia-Louise

DEFENSE SOCIETY
REPRESENTATIVE

The American Defense Society. in
widening the scope of its activities
throughout the nation has appointed
Mrs. E. A. Mitchell as a mem Der of
the Womans National CoMmittee to
represent this district.
In speaking of the society's aims
and the conten plated campaign in
this city, Mrs. Mitchell, in her first
communication as the society's rep
resentative, brings home with decided
force the the need for immediate ac-
tion.
German agents in our midst are
not a figment of the imagination but
very real danger" states Mrs. Nit.
chell.
An this war, il you cannot 20 to
the front you will want to serve at
home. Germany is mobilizing to the
last man and woman, and il America
is to win this war, we must also mo-
bilize those at home-every man and
woman. Service at home does not
necessarily mean that you must
give up your family obligations or the
time necessary for earning your live
lihood. Such service can and should
be given in your spare time.
Immediate Action Necessary
The first thing you can do is ia
concern yourself with the desperate
activities of the German Empire in
this country. Some Of these activities
are political; others are Industrial
attempts at dynamiting our wal
plants and burning buildings. Still
others are In the realm Of propaganda
spreading propaganda under the
guise of peace talk.
I'VE propose to hold a series Of
meetings to gain members In the neal
future, and among other things w,
hope to bring to this county tht
greatest patriotic photoplay which
has ever been produced, as q mean,
Of adding to the national fund fol
the prosecution of enemy activities
and the spreading of pro-Americal
propaganda.
