DECISION GIVEN /.
IN KENNEDY CASE
Tonopah Judge Rules That Jacob
Leick Cannot Claim Title to
Patented Mining Property
Owned by c. Kennedy

A decision given by Judge Mark
R. Averill in the case of Jacob
Leick VS.. C. E. Kennedy ct al, the
decision being in favor of defend
ants and granting plaintiff only
right to explore the grounds in
question for minerals, with due con-
sideration for the rights of defend
ant, the plaintiff to pay costs of
suit.
The suit has been pending for
several years and arose out of
dispute over the alleged rights of
plaintiff in mining property in the
Kennedy district in which both men
were interested. Leick claimed
ownership of five mining properties
composing group of the Lone Gold
Star, Bell, Wild Dutchman, Town.
site and Iron Rock. The five claims
are located almost wholly in the
area of land held under United
States patent by the defendant,
c. E. Kennedy of this city, and of
which Leick owned one-third. The
controversy arose when Leick at
tempted to establish a paramount
title in the area of his mining claims
over the patented area, thus chang
ing his interest from one-third to
total interest of the gretaer part
of the townsite of Kennedy, includ-
ing the home and garden of de-
fendant and family.
The case was first tried in May,
1917, before Judge E. A. Ducker,
with c. E. Robins as attorney for
Leick. The case was continued for
some time and finally, on account
of Judge Ducker's being appointed
to the supreme bench it was SUBJ
mitted to Judge Averill of Tonopah.
j. A. Langwith and L. G. Campbell
represented the defendants as at
torneys.

F UNE RAJ Of CARR
FELTS HELD TODAY
Body of Young Man Drowned ir
Humboldt River Found Yester-
day Miles Down Stream
From Bathing Place

The funeral of Carr Felts, young
man 25 years of age who so tragi-
cally met his death in the Humboldt
river three miles northeast of this
city, Tuesday evening, while in
swimming with others of the sur
veying crew of which he was a
member, was held this afternoon in
the Methodist church, Mrs. l.. Media
Hostetter having charge of the cere-
mony.
Pallbearers, at the request of
Felts' mother, Mrs. L. Felts, were
Leroy d. Murray, Charles Fishburn
and four American Legion members,
these latter being George Mccarthy,
A. 7. English, w. T. Anderson and
Loring Hanson. Guards were Leo
Truro and AIRY Rowan.
The body will be shipped tomor-
row morning to Orlindo, Tenn, the
old family home, for burial, and
will be accompanied as far as Fort
Collins, Colo, by Joe Felts of this
city, brother, and will be accom-
panied from that place by the
mother, Mrs. Felts, and Rufus Felts,
another brother.
Felts' body was discovered yes
terday during the noon hour by
Mrs, S. T. Edwards as she was
crossing the bridge, the body being
afioat in the river at that place.
She Immediately notified Ed Tre-
gaskis, who arrived on the scene,
and the alarm was given to the
sheriff's office. Help was soon Sc
cured and the body removed to the
bank of the river through the eff
forts of Sheriff Brady and helpers,
row boat tied under the bridge
being used for reaching the center
of the stream. The body was over
taken at the foot of Lay street and
there taken ashore, when it was
taken in charge by Funeral Direc-
tor w. w. Grayson.
A continuous search had been
kept up for the body since Tuesday
evening, when the tragedy occurred,
until the time of the discovery of
the body, the volunteer searchers
stopping only after dark and to
take time to eat. Every conceiv-
able device had been employed for
the dragging of the river and no
turn of the river within great dis
tance was overlooked. Members of
the surveying gang of which Felts
was a member discontinued work,
along with many others who left
their jobs to aid in the search.
Coroner James Ritchie and a
party Of men had gone to Golconda
to get a gasoline launch belonging
to Joe Fayant as a further means
of searching the river, and were
only on their way there when the
body was found. They were noti-
fled by phone of the discovery.
An inquest was held last night
over the body and a jury impaneled
by Coroner Richie and consisting
of VIM. Hoyt, J. Nelson and Dave
Christen returned verdict of acci-
dental drowning. Felts was iden-
titled by the initials on his signet
ring which he wore on his left hand.

TODAY is LAST DAY FOR
LIBERTY GODDESS CAMPAIGN

Results of the Goddess of Liberty
contest as flashed on the screen at
the American theatre last night
showed Lillian Pearce to be in the
lead with 800 votes to- her credit
and Anita Reed with 1876. Today
is the final windup of vote selling
and the winner will be announced
this evening at the theatre after all
votes have been counted. That the
numbers will be much greater than
those given last night is certain, on
account of the fact that the sums
of money turned in by the two con-
testants already more than over
balances the number of votes that
have been turned in.

On account of no decision having
Ian made determining whether the
members of the maintenance Of way

workmen in that unit are uncertain
az To what the outcome Of their jobs
will be. They expect to know def
nitely within few days and are
expecting orders to walk out on
July 8. ;,
The depot at the Western Pacific
tracks in this city shortly after 10
o'clock this morning had a very
quiet and peaceful appearance, and
the various shops along the way had
an air Of desertion.
The outcome Of the difficulty is
anxiously looked forward to, not
only by workers effected by the
situation and those higher up in
railway circles, but also by many
families in this city who feel that
unless some amicable compromise
can be effected hardships are going
to be worked on a large number in
this city as well as every other vi
cinity.
The president of the maintenance
Of way organization, E. F. Cradle,
has announced from Detroit that
the strike vote of the members of
his craft carried by an overwhelm-
ing majority, but that he was with
holding the order to strike from
the men pending the result of the
conference called by the labor
board at Chicago. He stated that
he had received summons to this
meeting and that he would attend.
In announcing the strike vote and
the withholding of the strike order,
Cradle said that he interpreted "the
boards demand that conditions re-
main In status quo to mean that
the roads are required to maintain
the present wage rates in effect un-
til after the completion of this hear
ing, as well as ordering the chief
executives Of the various organiza-
tions to hold the men at work. "
Workers in Winnemucca expect to
have definite word from their leader
on July 8 Monday and if the
strike is ordered II will occur two
days later.

DENUDED TURKEY "CAME TO"
chIoroformed Bird, Minus Feathers,
Very Much Alive When the An
" esthetic Had Worn Off.

One of New Jerseys most con-
servative towns Is consumed with
mirth, and the objects Of said mirth
are young, kind-hearted bride and
bridegroom. The bridegroom, it ap-
pears, took chance on a turkey that
was being raffled Off In his New York
office and few days later was notified
that he had won the pompous bird
Highly delighted, he gave his address
and ordered the prize sent out to his
New Jersey home. f..
In the course Of time the bird ar
rived at its destination, and arrived,
much to the surprise Of the bride and
bridegroom, in wire crate very much
alive, remarks the New York Sun. AS
their experience in executing birds was
nil and the bride couldn't bear to
have it's pretty head chopped off, I"
they decided to chloroform it. Con-
seQuently, the next night, when the
bridegroom got home from the Office,
the anesthetic was administered on a
lovely lace handkerchief and then the
bird was plucked and put into the
ice box. About 9 o'clock that night
the peace and quiet around the library
lamp were disturbed by strange noises
in the kitchen.
Hand in hand the newlyweds bravely
descended upon the kitchen expecting
to find the ever-looked-for burglar.
But no burglar was to be seen. Lo-
eating the noise in the direction Of the
ice box the brave young bridegroom
swung open the doors and out stepped
a very naked turkey. After a few
rounds of the kitchen with consider
able Tapping Of wings he began pick
ing UP the crumbs on the floor. The
bride and bridegroom looked at each
other in horror and fed from the
kitchen. An hour or so later the
services Of neighbor were called
upon and this time the turkey was an
esthetized with an ak.

LONDON FOG BACK ON JOB
Citizen Of Big City Secretly Proud Of
What Visitors Universally Denom-
mate a Nuisance.

The London particular" the blind
ing, choking, solid, yellow fog. . the
LOndOner's pride and the visitors de-
spair, has come back into it's own.
London's fog is not the soft, moist,
gray mist that hangs over an American
city In wet weather. 1t may be abso-
lutely dry or as wet as rain itself. It
may envelop all of London, a blanket
that recedes unwillingly, step by step,
as a pedestrian advances.
1t may envelop one or dozen Sec
tions, when it may be seen in the dis
tance, and is stepped into as definitely
as one steps into doorway.
Whatever the real London particu-
: lars" character, it is a real fog; and
when it comes trains stop or slow to
nervous crawl and street traffic is all
but halted.
The London fog comes with the
autumn and early winter, when fires
are lighted in 100000 fireplaces and
the smoke is unable to penetrate the
clouds. For several years there had
not been much fog; last year there
was almost none. This year it is back,
and the Londoner, cursing it when it
makes him an hour late for work, Sc
cretly hugs it to his breast-he
couldn't help it if he wanted to-and
gloats over it as part of his heritage.
No one knows where it passed its va
cation.

Show Aero Development.

A remarkable collection Of pictures,
which will be more highly priced as
years go by, = the series Of American
aeronautical photographs which ex-
Major Ernest Jones, army air service,
has gathered during his fifteen years
in this work. They cover the develop
ment Of aeronautics, particularly ayia-
ton, from 1868 to 1917. The 1900
photographs visualize the successive
steps made by the Wright brothers,
Curtiss, Thomas, Wittemann and other
pioneers in this country. Some of these
are the only pictures in existence Of
certain machines and events. 1T is
probable" says United States Air Ser
vice, ''that this is the most complete
collection of air photographs in Amer
ica."
