SCOTT GR|SWOLD IS
CLEARED OF CHARGE

1t took a jury in Elko less than an
hour Saturday night to arrive at a
verdict of acquittal in the Scott Gris-
void case, In which the defendant was
charged with branding another mans
calf with intentions to steal the same.
The first ballot stood eight to four.
the second eleven to one, and the third
and last ballot Immediately following
was unanimous.
This case has excited a great deal
of interest throughout, not only EIko
county, but the whole state, as the
question of the ownership of unbrand-
ed calves, on the range. came up for
the first time in the courts of the
state. and on the ruling of Judge
Taber. evidence was admitted show
ing the custom among stockmen re-
garding the branding of calves on the
range, viz. that an unbranded calf
belonged to the man on whose range
or premises it was found. provided it
was not following its mother.
The defendant was placed on the
witness stand and testified that he
and his men branded the calf In ques-
ton on April IA. following the custom
of the stockmen in branding an un-
marked and unknown calf found on
their range or premises when they
branded. He said that he was in
doubt about the calf, whether it be-
longed to bunch that his father had
bought from Fred White, or whether
it belonged to the Drown boys; that
he spoke to the Drown hired man
about the calf, and that the browns
saw the calf ev,ry day for more than
La week before he started to brand.
and he suppos ed that If they owned it
they would say SO; that, no owner
showing up. ne came to the conclusion
that it was one that his father had
bought, his father being in California
when the branding was done; he tes-
titled that he owned cattle of his own
and that his father before leaving for
the coast had requested that he brand
all the cattle.
1t was nearly IL o'clock when the
evidence was concluded, and the at
torneys in the case consented to let
it go to the jury without argument, in
order to clear up the docket for
Monday.
1t was generally expressed on the
street Saturday night that an acquittal
would be foun1, and the verdict was
not a surprise. Mr.. Griswold i'm
mediately drove out to his home in
the South Fork valley, where he was
met by his friends and neighbors, who
held an impromptu reception in honor
of his vindication.-[ Elko Free Press.

TUSCARORA BOOMS
WITH RISE IN SILVER

With the high price of silver. min
ing men are looking for the rejuven-
alton of the famous old camp of
Tuscarora, which is about 60 miles
west of Elko. This ca-p made over
a score of millionaires. Well informed
mining men state that the mines of
Tuscarora have turned out, for The
depth of their workings, more mineral
than all the mines of Nevada.
Before the demonetization of silver,
lack of feul and power forced the
mines to shut down. The mines of
Tuscarora had turned out, at con-
servative estimate, over $4,000 900.
The mines have not been worked to
any great extent for 80 years.
During the old days, the principal
source of fuel was sage brush. All
supplies and machinery had to be
hauled so miles over a desert road
from the nearest railroad point, Elko.
The Grand Prize mine, which is said
to be the deepest mine in this camp,
is only $50 fee. below the surface.
The average depth of the mines in
Tuscarora is 300 feet
The Old Commonwealth mine, from
which s5,400,O00 was taken, is said to
have gone only 231 feet below the sur
face. Later development work has
shown that the mine has fat vein,
rs feet thick, averaging in value over
SIS per ton, and ii is said to have
proved to have more than 100000 tons
CT ore. This mine produced 100000
during the last six months of opera
tion.
Operations in this mine will be be-
gun soon by the Stewart Mining COM
pany of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Un-
derground mining will be directed by
David j. Cook. This company will
have a mill running, it is said within
As days, and as soon as the maximum
capacity can be determined, a mill of
sufficient capacity to care for the
maximum product will be constructed
Colonel William A Parish, noted
geologist and mineralogist, after max
ing $3.50 assays and maps on the Old
Dexter, one of the 54 properties in
Tuscarora, reported 3.S0O.000 tons oi
sold and silver ore on this one prop
erty which would assay over $40 per
ton.
At present, reports state that shafts
are being sunk to catch the faulted
vein of the famous Grand Prize mine.
This vein is said to be four feet wide
and contains 500 ounces of silver to
the ton
Among the men who made fortunes
in this camp in the early days are !:
George w. Peltier. who now lives at
Sacramento, Cal; W. T. Smith of San
Francisco and Robert M. Catlin, man.
ager of the New Jersey Zinc company
Mr.. Catlin has erected within the last
year at Elko, the first shale plant in
America If this plant is a success
and an economical process is discov-
cred for the reduction of shale to oil,
mining men prophesy that the shale
ir dustry will become one of the lead
ing industries of the United States.

NEW CITY DADS OFF tn
GOOD START LAST NIGHT

Constitutional oath of office was
token by Winnemucca's new mayor
and city councilmen last night. The
incoming officers are Mayor Brandon
and City Councilmen Sites, Akin and
Hoskins. Those who retired last
night are Carl Haviland, mayor; w. l..
Wilkinson. b. J. Loinaz and Felix
Poulin, councilmen.
The retiring council cleaned up all
outstanding business last night before
. the new members were sworn in, such
business consisting of approving min
utes of previous meetings, allowing
bills contracted. The appointment of
Delbert Baker as night policeman at
a salary OF $125 per month. and his
bonds of $1,000, were confirmed.
1t had been found that the city
council members are required to fur
nish bonds, and these were fixed at
$500 for each of the gentlemen. After
these had been approved and the men
elected May s had been sworn in. the
old council members bade the new
body good luck and turned the city's
business over to them. The swearing
In OF the new officers was the last
official act of City Attorney Langwith,
he having rendered his resignation,
effective last night, at a previous
meeting.
Before leaving the council cham
bers. however, data was turned over
by the former members concerning
the protest ordered filed against the
asked-for increase in rates of the
Winnemucca Water & Light Company.
In this data was telegram from the
Public Service Commission of Nevada
stating that a public hearing would be
held in the matter next Saturday and
requesting the council to secure a
suitable place for this hearing to be
held.
Consequently the first discussion by
the new council was concerning this
public meeting. They agreed that
Saturday was a bad day and Mayor
Brandon was delegated to send a
telegram requesting postponement,
giving several good reasons. A reply
was received by the mayor today stat
ing the new rates have been sus-
pended until June 8 and that the hear
ing has been postponed until Monday,
June 2. Mayor Brandon said today a
definite place for the public hearing
has not yet been decided upon, but he
believed it would be held in the Nixon.
Applications for appointment to
city positions were next read. B. S.
Roberts applied for a position as po-
liceman; Joseph Rougon and A. Crotto
want the appointment OF sewer in
spector and fire warden; l.. ID. Hub
bard applied for the city clerkship;
Clyde Welshons, driver of city truck
and fire truck. Councilmen said they
had several verbal applications for
appointment and thought it would be
best If all applicants put their desires
in writing. So ii was decided to then
and there recess until next Monday
night. May 26. at s o'clock, when final
action will be taken concerning appli-
cations. II was so ordered and City
Cs-rk Frank Case allowed to go home.

USED M0LAssES TO OIL CAR
Chauffeur Takes Wrong JUG When
His Machine Needs
lubrcatins.

Dover, Me.-Dover people had the
laugh on the driver of an able-looking
motor truck which was being toweA
through the town recently, not because
there had been "engine trouble" bu,
because the driver had applied the con-
tents of the wrong jug to the lubri-
eating system.
IT seems that when the machine
needed liberal dose of oil, the owner
had picked up familiar jug and in a
selnilight had poured into the oil well
the viscous contents of the jug. Then
he set about preparations for his mo-.
tor business and tried to start his car.
The harder he worked the worse the
engine ran.
Finally the secret came out when
engine inspection revealed the fact
that the oil had been mysterously con-
verted into mOlasses, which had been
pumped thoroughly through the lubri-
eating system. The truck was towed
to the garage men for a de-sweetening
process.

who knows but what it is of such stuff

England that fairy tales are made; and
IN more imaginative age than this
that Princess Pat might not soon have
been metamorphosed into heroine like
the Sleeping Beauty Of Rapunzel Of the

Accident Of birth made Patricia of
Connaught princess, but nature made
her woman, and she refused to become
pawn in the game Of international

Of reigning houses. Twice definitely,
and possibly third time, a crown was

aside for the very human consideration
that no love was offered with it. Seldom

A Trial Arch

II is Il relief to have Mr.. Thomas
Hastings put in clear words the status Of
the memorial arch now being constructed
at Madison Square. Money has been
solicited for a permanent arch and much
confusion of mind has prevailed. 1t
seemed inconceivable that permanent
arch could be here and now finally re-
solved upon, yet stranger things have
happened. Mr.. Hastings's words remove
all doubt:
1t should first be understood that this
arch is merely temporary one Before
any decision is made regarding the per
manent memorial to our brave men it has
been agreed that a free and general ex-
preston of opinion should be made by all
OF the art societies of the city as we'll as
other societies interested in the project
10 give permanent memorial to so great
an event as the victory is a serious mat
ter.
permanent arch is, indeed, serious
matter. 1t is a most difficult task to
beautify a completed city architecturally.
Blunders are easy to fall into and almost
impossible to remove. Far better bare
and empty city than streets crowded with
inappropriate and inartistic monuments.
Considered as a trial arch, the victory
structure at Madison Square presents ex-
actly the right method of going about the
question. When we see the plaster
structure we can be far surer whether or
no permanent arch is the right thing at
this particular spot
Already doubts have arisen in many
minds. The ideal site for an arch is an
open one With ample park space on
either hand. The Washington Arch is
well placed, for example. The objection
that the eye finds to the mass at present
IN course Of erection at Madison Square
is that open space is available only on the
park side; to the west there is bad jun
BILE whereby the granite obelisk to Gen
eral Worth is already overshadowed by
high buildings
If we should ever take our future in
our hands and construct great diagonal
avenues connecting series of municipal
squares we should have the space and the
vlstas needed for many arches. At pres
ent, with almost all our spare room con-
centrated in Central Park, there are few
other spots where monuments are fitting.
1t is exceedingly doubtful whether the
site Of the victory arch will prove to be
such a point

price of liquor, it would seem, according
to the views of experts in such things.
When a cocktail or a high-ball spoils
dollar bill even spendthrift Broadway
purses up it's lips and hesitatcs. Or the
pocket-book coNapses-if the flesh is
strong. The economic basis Of thirst is
one of those things which no amount of
faith or hope can elude.
Therefore it may be taken that coming
events of next July did cast their shadow
before them across New Years Eve.
Drink undoubtedly has direct bearing
upon the most hilarious celebrations and
it is only natural to expect decline in
the extremes of gay doings when alcohol
is subtracted. Will compensations ap-
pear? There is certainty Of some, at any
rate. Hlarity based on drink has its
limtations--and its aftermath. The
gayety of cold sobriety is more elusive
it may or may not come when wanted.
But there is much to be said for it, The
experiment of next summer will offer our
topers, not too detected by their depriva
TONS chance to live and learn. Will
fun be more or less? That is one Of the
many questions all of US will be able to
approach in the sober light of truth.
