In the furniture line M. Norman &

equal those Of last year. but because
OF the lower priced articles demanded

200 NEW NAMES ON
REGISTRATION BOOKS
BY Charles Sughroe
Q Western Newspapsr uaco

The registration books for the city
election closed Friday with nearly
two hundred new names added to the
list OF registered voters for the three
wards in the city of Ely. The total
number OF registered voters on the
city books is over two thousand, but
1t is hard to estimate the number OF
votes that will be cast at the coming
city election, as the election law does
not require a new registration for a
municipal election and the names OF
all those who voted at the general
election last fall remain on the list
as eligible to vote.
Considerable controversy has been
had over the question as 10 which
regulations govern the city election
the general election laws or the
city ordinance providing for cleo
tons. The question of fling petit
lions for offices has caused some con
fusion, as several of the candidates
fled their petitions under the gen.
eral election laws and others claim
that the city ordinance should gov
ern such filings. Under the general
laws a petition must be filed thirty
days prior 10 an election and under
n city the ptlitioho muo'
be filed not less than five days be-
fore the election nor more than III
teen days prior thereto. In some
cases the candidate has filed two pc.
%tstions, one to comply with the gen.
eral law and another under the city
ordinance. The registration was car
ried on under the general law, which
provides that the county clerk shall
be the registrar. The closing of the
time for registration was regulated
by the city ordinance.
There Is a rumor thai the election
may spring some surprises, as injunc-
tions may be filed when the time
comes TO print the ballots.
What at first appeared TO be a
prospect for a quiet election has de
yeloped almost as much interest as a
hotly contested general election. and
few political prophets are willing to
give an opinion as to who will be the
successful candidates.
In the last two days of registration
there were enough new names PLACED
ON the books to swing the election
and the man who could judge how
these electors will vote would have
tn be more than a politician; III
would have to be a mind reader.

LEGAL RATT[EI0vER
PROM|SSORY NOTE

The suit for recovery on a promls-
sorry note brought by Max Herman OF
McGill against John Engleke of Cen.
trail Ely was tried in the district
court last Thursday and Friday and
submitted TO Judge c. J. McFadden
for his decision.
From testimony introduced at the
trial 1t appears that John Engleke
purchased from Max Herman $1,000
worth of stock in the Inspiration Min
ing Company, with claims at Arrow
head. The purchase was made in
February Of last year and when the
note became due the maker refused
to pay it, claiming that the sale was
made through fraud on the part Of
Herman.
The answer of the defendant to the
complaint fled set forth that the
plaintiff misrepresented the mining
company to Engleke when the sale OF
stock was made; that the Defendant
had never received the stock and was
not bound to pay the note, as the
contract was based on fraudulent
statements made by the plaintiff at
the time the note was signed.
Mr.. Herman in his testimony on
the witness stand told of showing the
reports of the engineers who exam.
ined the property, A. J.. Sales and
DR. Gilman, to Mr.. Engleke and that
Mr.. E,ngleke replied that he had read
the reports before in the newspaper
He also testified that he did not mis-.
represent the property to the pros.
pectiye purchaser and denied that he
had told the defendant that the min
ing property was a steam shovel prop
osition, rs claimed in the answer 10
the complaint.
Attorney B. L. Quayle appeared
for the plaintiff Max Herman and
Attorney q. F. Foreman for the de-
PENDANT. During the direct and cross
examinations OF the witnesses there
was not a legal point overlooked by
the two attorneys in their objections
and fine points OF law were repeat
eddy argued by counsel.
The points brought out in the ar.
guments by the attorneys covered the
statutes OF fraud and also the fine
distinction of the law as to whether
mining stocks were personal prop
erty or chooses or things in action.
Attorney Foreman cited the Nevada
statute on sales of goods and the war
ranty of such, showing that II the
warranty was false the party con.
tracing for the goods had the right
to refuse to receive them. Attorney
Ouayle %contended that mining stocks
we're not goods and that the statute
of sales did not apply and that the
boosting of stocks was trade talk and
not a warranty.
The matter was submitted to the
court and was taken under advise.
ment by the court to rendr a decision
later.
