MINNEMUCCA BANK FILES AN
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT

Yesterday there was filed in the
Supreme court the appeal of the Win
nemucca State Bank and Trust Com
pany versus ]. b. Corbeil. says the
Carson Appeal. This case may be OF
more than passing interest in that il
grew out of a transaction with the
defunct Interstate Life Insurance
Company.
In December, 1915. the company.
during the course of its business, bor-
rowed from the State Bank and Trust
Company of Winnemucca the sum Of
$1,000, and gave as security note they
had received from Mr.. Corbeil for the
amount of $500 In the meantime the
insurance company defaunted in the
payment of their loan and went out
of business. The banking company
then sued Corbeil for the amount OF
his note, in this way hoping TO re
trieve, in measure, their loss of the
$1,000 loan to the insurance company.
Corbeil. in the district court, demurred
to the complaint on the ground that
the note was not negotiable and that
the insurance company therefore had
no right to assign same to the banking
company as security. The district
court sustained the demurrer and the
banking company appeals to the su-
preme court against that ruling.

3 DEMOCRATS TO
EACH REPUBLICAN

Not surprising at all is the fact that
the registration of voters in this
county for the primary election shows
a great preponderance of Democrats
over other parties. The cards so far
received by the county clerk were tab
ulated last night and ii was found
that 1879 voters in this county had
registered as Democrats and 352 as
republicans trife over three to
one in favor of the Democrats.
The reason for this state of affairs
is not hard to find. There is not one
contest in Humboldt county wherein
two Republicans are running for the
same office. and the same condition
applies in state contests with the ex-
ception of perhaps two or three offices.
II is only natural, therefore, that the
Republicans of this county, seeing
that their votes would go for naught
at the primary desire to have some
say in the men picked on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Many instances are
known of where Republicans, after
registering as such, went to the
county clerks office and changed their
party afflliation to Democrat. 1t is
certainly not hard to see, such being
the facts, that the number of voters
casting a Republican ticket at the
general election will be far in excess
of one to three.
In passing it may be information to
readers. to state that County Clerk
Davey returned last night from the
two new precincts of Toulon and
Majuba, after having delivered cleo
tion supplies. Registration cards, of
course, have not yet been received
from these two places and conse-
quently are not included in the above
numbers 1t is estimated the two new
precincts contain something over 200
voters Toulon is located west of
Lovelock, a tungsten mill providing
employment for most of the voters
here, while Majuba is a copper camp
located between Inlay and Mill City.
