ATTORNEYS IN DIVORCE CASE

Reports from Los Angeles that the
claim of the law firm of Ayers and
Gardner against Owen Moore for SER
vices in his wife's suit for divorce has
been placed in the hands of a Los
Angeles attorney for collection were
confirmed today by Albert ID. Ayers.
Ayers had charge of Moore's case
when his wife. known as Mary Pick
ford, got divorce at Minden last
, spring
Our firm never has been paid a
cent for our services as Owen Moore's
attorney in the Pickord case" said
Ayers. Il never have seen Moore
since the day of the trial at Minden.
At that time he assured me that my
claim for legal services would be
promptly paid by Arthur Graham, his
New York attorney. At the ouset |
demanded a fee of $4,000 but later.
when | learned from Graham that
Moore did not receive any financial
settlement as a result OF the suit, |
reduced that amount very substan-
TALLY.
Failing to get any satisfaction from
Moore or Graham We placed our
dlaim in tse hands of Fairfax Cosby,
formerly Reno attorney but now
practicing in Los Angeles, instruct
ing him to bring suit against Moore
unless payment was made. l pre-
sumo the report from Los Angeles
that he intends to bring suit to re-
cover might be taken as indication
that he believes there is no chance OF
getting the money out of Moore in any
other way" reports the Gazette.
The report from Los Angeles says
that the suit against Moore will be
! filed there and that Douglas Fair.

wife, will be called as witnesses

OFFICIALS HAVE
SALARIES RAISED

Under a law which was passed by
the last legislature, the county COM
missioners are invested with the
power to fix the salaries of township
officers. At a recent meeting of the
Board of Douglas county. this matter
was taken up and owing to the fact
that one justice of the peace serves
for the entire county, the salary for
that official was raised from $50 to
s7o per month, beginning on the first
day of January. The salary of the
constable of the East Fork precinct
was ais raised from $40 to so per
month.
In years gone by very few have
aspired to these offices owing to the
small salaries paid. However, since
the office of justice of the peace can
be handled without interfering to any
great extent with other means of
liylihood, and since the salary has
been raised. no less that four candi-
dates aspire to that office and will
have their names on the primary
ballot, if all reports be true. C. M
krummes, the present justic of the
peace, Norman Winder, J. N. Ander-
son and Louis Nelson have signified
their declaration as candidates for
that office.

The horses are small and unbroken

sequently more money to be spent for

struction of the concrete highway be-

from Bishop & Griscom, of Reno for
the price of $3S,219 and one from F. III.
Richie of San Jose, Cal, for SAL
S512O. The bid of Bishop G Griscom
was accepted.
The state highway department will
furnish all of the material going into
the highway including cement crush
ed rock and the like, which is to cost
approximately s3S,09340. This to-
gether with the cost of of engineering
will bring the total cost of the new
highway. 1.S miles in length and twen-
ty feet wide. up to $s4O59. The fed
eral government will give aid to the
exten of $4,000. while the states
share of the construction will cost
1880. The balance will be paid by
Douglas counuty through the sale of
highway bonds. authorized by an act
OF the legislature.
The road will be concrete, six

When this road project was first
brought up for consideration, it met
with considerable opposition, but

sition was met and by logical argu-

took the matter up with the federal
highway department and was able to
secure much more substantion sum
for the construction of the road, than
was first offered.
The state highway department has
taken the matter of furnishing crush

board of county commissioners and 1t
seems quite probable that they will
put the rock crusher and highway
trucks to work getting the desired ma
terial on the ground. It is also un-
derstood that the contractors will
start construction work as soon as
their equipment can be shipped in this
locality.

Harvey Payne, State Commander of
the American Legion, was the first
speaker. and gave a brief outline of
the purposes and work of the orgaiza-
ton, strictly denying that it was of
a military nature, but alone for the
fostering of Americanism and the
high ideals of American citizenship
He was followed by Mrs. A Y. Wer-
ner who presented the flags to the
Post on behalf of the Reading Room
Association. The flags were brought
onto the stage by soldiers in uniform
accompanied by guard. John Brown
accepted the flags from Mrs. Werner
on behalf of the Legion, and bugle
call was sounded.
Major Sanbourn, who served in the
world war for five years, first with the
British and then with American, and
who is minister, but enlisted as a
lighting man and not a chaplin, was
the principal speaker on the pro-
gram. He gave one of the most
forceful and clear cut talks on Amer
icanism yet heard in this community.
He spoke from the viewpoint of one
OF those who fought for democracy
but returned home and found that the
people did not know what democracy
was. He declared that the boys in
the trenches dreamed of a League of
Nations years before Wilson or any
other statesmen thought OF it. He de-
clared that he and other Americans
fought that war might be no more. but
pointed to the fact that war still rag
ed In Europe. He declared that with
in our own country there was a move
ment under way for the overthrow of
the present form of free government,
but the people were too busy with
pleasure to heed the dangers. 1t is
