 CLASS TO MEET First Session of Organization Will
 Be Held Wednesday MUST PRESENT PETITIONS

 Remaining Week.

The first meeting of the newly or sanized union teachers tra timing class will be held Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the chapel of the Bap- tist church on East Main street. The class will be under the direct super vision of Mrs. Cora Davis Stevens, a member of the force of the Connecti- cut Sunday School association. The teachers and officers of all Sunday schools of PlainYille churches will be present
 The union teachers training class was organized about two weeks ago to train teachers for the task of instruc- tion in the Sunday schools ill local churches. The plan is being carried out. in many other towns of the state and has worked out successfully in the majority of. cases, hence the formation of a training class for Sunday school instructors in this town.
 Mrs. Stevens, the supervisor of the class, has had much experience in a wide field and has thorough knowl- edge of the proper manner of con- ducting such class. The class will meet on Wednesday evening of each week.

 Property owners who have received
 
 property are reminded that only week remains in which to present to , the board. of relief petitions for re- duction in the assessments. The pe- titionS must be presented within this time to remain within the prescribed limit of 20 days after the first m eet- ing of the board. The assessors will have the remainder of the month of February in which to complete the work and the board of relief will be allowed the same length of time to act on appeals for reduction of valua,- tions and file their decisions Thus far only few petitions for reductions have been presented.

 Protection Not Discussed.
 The predicted discussion of the matter of protection at the East street railroad crossing did not take place at the meeting of the Plainville Bus mess and ImproVem ent associatio according to a statement made this morning by Ralph Seymour, secre- tary of the organization. It was said that the principal business to be transacted at the meeting would be the agitation for the placing of gates, f1agman or some sort of protection at the crossing. The topic was not even m mentioned at the meeting. It is probable, however, MT. Seymour stated. that the question will be dis cussed at a future meeting of the association.
 The East street railroad crossing. which was a topic for discussion at the time of the proposed improve ment of East street by the town, is unprotected by gates or fagmen, and Louis and Nathan Hartman were in- jured, the latter fatally, at the cross ing on Wednesday, February 4, when a motor truck on which they were riding, was struck by a train The

In an opinion handed down in the
open court at Lovelock Judge j. A.
Callahan granted The motion of Thorn
as sutton for a new trial in the case
of NJ NJ. Page VS.. Thomas Sutton,
which was tried there last June and
resulted in a verdict of $40. 7S4.60 IN
favor of Page.
The case, which was tried before a
ury. lasted several days and was
probably the most bitterly contested
case which has been tried in the
county Of Pershing, says the Gazette
The action was for a commission
which Page claimed was due him up
on a sale Of mining property made by
Sutton and his associates to W. }
.Loring. a mining operator OF Sar
Francisco.
The motion for a new trial was
based upon numerous grounds. IL il
probable that Page will appeal from
the courts order. Page is represented
in the action by X. NJ. Hardy of Love
lock and Luther Elt.ns of San Fran
cisco. and the defense has been taken
care by Booth b. Goodman of Love
lock.

YOUNG RANCH HAND KILLED
ON ELKO COUNTY RANGE

Tuesday the remains of T. r. Jud-
son, aged nineteen years were
brought to Elko from the Spanish
ranch, near T~uscarora, and are now
awaiting the arrival of the young
mans father from Sunnyvale, Cal,
according to the Elko Free Press. The
young man had been employed on the
Spanish ranch and some days ago
went riding. When he did not return
a search was made for him, and his
hocy was found on the Cornucopia
divide. He had been dead for several
Gavs, and a coIrorer's jury found that
lie had met with an accidental death,
The top of his head was crushed in,
and judging from the surroundings,
it is supposed that the horse he was
riding, became ~entangled in a tele-
phone wire. and after throwing its
rider. kicked him in the head. The
body, when found. was in an advanced
state Of decomposition, and it was al
most impossible to learn the extent
of his injuries.
