CATTLE RANCH IS.
INVOLVED IN
LAW SUIT
MANAGER ASKS COURT
FOR APPOINTMENT OF
RECEIVER

Benjamin J.. Henley, as attorney
widely known cattle men of the
southern part of the state, has filed
suit in the district court against
John Salsberry and the Kawich Cat
tie company, asking that the part
nership between the plaintiff and
Salsberry be dissolved and that a
receiver be appointed for the pro-
perty and other assets of the COM
pany pending disposition of the ac-
ton.
Rumors regarding the possibility
Of this suit being filed have been
current for some time and in the
complaint Connolly asks that at the
conclusion of the action the receiver
be authorized to sell the property
of the company, on which a valua-
ton of 100000 is set, including ali
assets of the company.
Connolly claims an interest of at
least $4,000. The complaint states
that since June l of this year Sails
berry has excluded Connolly from
the management and operation of
the business and has himself con-
Quoted it. 1t further states that
Salsberry is not familiar with the
ranpe herds and general business
and that operation of the company's
affairs by him may result in loss to
the Kawich Cattle company and to
the plaintiff in the action.

Woman Works Ruse

A woman working in a cafe at

created excitement on the streets
by loud wailing. K~ind-hearted
men who investigated found she was
suffering from over-indulgence in
booze. and she was led away by
Constable McComb. On the way
to the Jail she apparently fell in a
faint, but when the officer turned
his back on her to start for help,
she came to in a hurry and, start
ing a sprint, outdistanced him in
short order. She was not found
again by the constable for some
time, but when discovered she went
to the Jail without further faint

HELP SOLDIERS
GET THEIR PAY
BANK BOOK SYSTEM ENABLES
THEM TO DRAW
MONEY

AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE,
July II. = Every American soldier
in France will receive a bank book"
enabling him to draw $3.50 a month
from any disbursing officer, If the
change in pay methods of the Amer
lean expeditionary force now under
consideration Is put into effect. The
purpose is to enable every soldier to
obtain promptly at least a part of
his monthly pay regardless of where
he may be, whether in a hospital or
with some organization other than
his own.
The pay book" system is in use
in the British army. The sum of
$3.50 a month has been fixed as the
minimum which a soldier should
have for his personal wants every
month and it would be given to him
on his demand.
Each three or four months there
would be a general accounting, at
which his total pay, his insurance
and other allotments. his Liberty
loan subscriptions and other items
would be cast up, together with his
monthly drafts. The balance then
due him would be put at his dis
posal.

vantage of being able at all times

SPANISH BELT TUNNEL
HAS ENTERED GRANITE

Developments of very favorable
character are expected to occur at
the Consolidated Spanish Belt Min
ing company with almost any round
of shots. The tunnel is now in a
distance of 1880 feet from its por-
tai, and has passed out of the soft
granite which has been showing
lately. After cutting through a g.
foot width of quartz, the tunnel
entered the hard granite formation.
Quite a flow of water is comtnS
into the tunnel, and the indications
are that the work is in close prox-
unity to the Ernst vein, the main
objective of the tunnel, this dovel-
opment occasioning a great deal OF
interest on the part of the mining

OF INFANTRY AT

From the cheerful optimism eX-

by Sergeant James WEIGH, no one
would credit the fact that the SER
geant, we'll known in Goldfield, was
known to his intimates while here

WEIGH, who is a rather youthful vet
eran of the Spanish-American war,

WEIGH had been stationed at Fort
Dodge, Iowa, where he had been en-
gagged in training and drilling

notonous he appealed to his captain
to send him across" where he could
get within reach of the Boches, and
his request was granted. Under the

writes:
"Well, old scout, l am feeling fine

AMERICAN FLYERS
LEARNING TO
Be ACES
AERO SCHOOL IN ENGLAND
TURNS OUT FINISHED
AVIATORS

AN AMERICAN AERODROME
IN ENGLAND, July II. This is
one of the numerous aviation camps
in England where Americans are
receiving their finishing touches as
flyers. When they leave here for
the battle front in France, they
know all that can be taught about
flying. Only the school of exper-
fence can supply the postgraduate
course that makes G~uynemers and
Lufburys.
1t is a peaceful place and very
quiet except for the droning of air
planes. At least a dozen are in the
air and others are preparing for
flight. Into one of these latter a
young Kentuckian has just climbed.
For the first time he is going up
alone.
For weeks the British instructor
has been with him constantly and
he has passed successfully the ma
jor tests. He can fly straight, the
instructor sitting beside him has
made sure, and he can work the con-
trolls without fear or nerves" He
knows how to stall, to glide and to
climb, and he has learned a good
deal too about the important art of
landing.
On one memorable occasion the
instructor had shouted to him above
the roaring of the engine, Shall
we loop" and they did. But
hitherto, of course, the instructor
had been the real pilot, explaining
maneuvers, encouraging the young
man to secure an accurate touch,
and to become, as he must if he is
to be successful, so perfect a master
of the machine that he can make it
fly of itself.
The fact that it is his first flight
In known at the aerOdrome and
many eyes are watching to see him
take off,"
On the first flight alone the
pupils performance is carefully
watched for any faults. Uusually
he is given a definite piece of man
euvering to carry out. A pupil is
| never sent into the air merely to
: fly about for a fixed time.

TROOPS PUNISHED
FOR SWIPING
A GOOSE
MEN Placed IN GUARD HOUSE
AND FORCED To
PAY

AMERICAN TROOPS WITH THE
BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July
16. - A ~pur1oined goose was the
cause of so much trouble for a few
soldiers of the American army re-
Gently that they consider that
the bird would have been cheap
even at the high wal prices that
prevail in these regions.
The complaint from the woman
who lost the goose was the only one
received at the headquarters OF the
division to which the men belonged;
she promptly received satisfaction
in the coin of the country and the
men were obliged to digest their
feast in the guard house while they
reflected upon the rules regarding
"foraging."
"Of course there are worse things
a soldier can do than to swipe a
goose" said an officer of the divis-
ion in question, but even that is
more than shall be permitted in
this force. We came owe here to
do a laudable thing and we are go
ing to do it clearly. Whatever we
draw from this country is going to
be paid for in due form and the few
men in our ranks who dare try any
other system will pay dearly for
their experience"
Other units of the American army
in this zone have not had a single
case of this kind. The men behave
even better than at home; they are
getting on splendidly with the in
habitants and with their allies.
Guard house cases are rare and are
generally for insignificant m~iscon-
duct.
Characterization" said one Off
Ger, lis often the consequence of a
crouch. Our men have few griev-
ances and we have little trouble
with them"
