COUNTY IN
COURT FIGHT AGAIN

Since the legislature created Per
shing county 1t Aas been rue TO the
name as ii has been fighting ever
since its birth. No sooner did the
new county start on its own hook,
than the mother county, from which
1t was carved out, set up a cry as
soon as the anesthetic lost its eff
feet, SAYS the Elko Free Press.
An injunction was issued prevent
ing Pershing county from gathering
in its quota of county funds, and
then another was issued forbidding
the holding of an election FOR coun-
ty officers and other matters. like a
court house and bonds. The supreme
court modified the injunction and
brought all hands into cours.
The hearing on the prohibition
was argued before the court. At
torneys Treadwell and Brandon ap-
peafed for Humboldt county, while
former Chief Justice Noreross end
X. Hardy and Bert Mcintosh were on

the case. The case occupied the en-
1t is the contention of the Hum
boldters that the act is u~nconstiIu-
tional in that it was not the will of
the people. and that 1t is doubly so,
as the application of the law of ref
erendum, as applied in Nevada, was
not invoked to get the sentiment of
the people on the division.
The answer is that the law was
legally enacted. that the referendum
could not have been applied owing TO
lack of time and that IL was unnee-
essary. as any section of the state
has the right to withdraw through
legislative enactment. Rods of

A feature of this hearing is that
Edward +. Treadwell. counsel for
the Miller estate, VINO has been iden-
tined with the Miller & Lux hold
ings in Nevada for many years, is
appearing for the Humboldt end of
the tight. 1t is evident that the big
corporation is taking a hand in the
division, although the principals live
without the state and the estate
proper is fighting the proposition of
OF paying inheritance tax following
the death of Henry Miller.
