ELECTION CONTEST
RUNS ON AND ON.
Counsel for Wilson is of Opinion
That Supreme Court Has No
lssue Before II To Justify
Granting Re-hearine

In answer to the petition of
Harry Warren, presented to the
state supreme court, praying for a
re-hearihg or an order making IL
mandatory that a new trial be held
in the district court of the election
contest instituted by Harry Warren
against L. G. Wilson, for the pur-
pose of determining which of the
two was actually voted the nomina-
tion of district attorney, on the
Democratic ticket, at the last elec-
tion, counsel for Wilson-Judge ].
A. Langwith and others associated
with him in the first trial held in
the district court here, with Judge
Taber of Elko presiding, in which
the latter ruled that Warren was
rightfully entitled to the nomina-
tion--have forwarded a reply to
Warren's petition in which they set
forth their views concerning the
prayer for a re-hearing or the grant
ing of new trial, which substan-
TALLY consists of the citation that
it is a rule of law that a request
for re-hearing is without leg to
stand upon if those upon which the
original hearing was granted, and
its rejoinder, have been fully anal
yzed; and counsel for Wilson seem
unalterably persuaded that that very
thing transpired during the course
of the hearing granted Wilson, on
appeal to the supreme court, from
the decision of Judge Taber.
Attorney Dignon, who just re-
Gently associated himself with Harry
Warren, and is now the junior men,
Der of the law firm of Warren &
Dignon, left here yesterday for
Carson City, to attend to some pro-
fessional matters and before his
departure he said that he has care
fully gone over every phase Of the
election controversy, overlooking
none of the legal angles, and that
when the supreme court gives time
to enter into the matter, without
being hurried off It's feet in an at
tempt to do speedy justice to the
voters-who were, of course, eager
to be given the opportunity to cast
their ballots for some one for the
place of district attorney, that they
might escape the costs attending
special election to make known
their choice-there isn't doubt, in
his mind, but that Harry Warren,
as the result of a re-hearing granted
by the supreme court will be held
to be legally nominated district at
torney, else the court will remand
the case for new trial, on its
merits; and in either event, says
Mr.. Dignon, Harry Warren will,
eventually, take his place, to which
he was rightfully elected. That is
that!

COURT CONTEMPT
DRAWS FINES
Quinn River Men Who Violated
Court Injunction are Given
Lesson That They Have
Learned and Paid For

Jaun Legarza, w. o. Baber, Jr.,
I. B. English and Giacometto Bros,
ranch men residing in the Quinn
river district, were assessed punish
ment in the form of fines, in the
district court, Judge Hart of Fall
lon presiding, for violation of an
injunction issued by another judge,
which placed the defendants in the
position of plainly telling the judge
that issued the injunction that, to
their minds, he was entitled to no
consideration that could, by any
manner of means, be construed as
anything else but contemptuous.
"a mighty good way to show con-
tmpt for the average court is to
stay outside of its reach.)
The Pacific Land and Livestock
company interposed, as jealous
guardians of the dignity of the
court, and filed complaint setting
forth that Messrs. Legarza, Baber,
English, ct al, were malicious viola
tors of the dignity that hedges
lbout the judicial ermine, in that
they were in contempt of court,
having violated an injunction pre-
scribing their limitations relative to
the use of water, in the section of
he country within which they have
heir being.
Defendants craved trial by jury,
rs they seemed obsessed with the
thought that a jury of their peers
would probably assist in extricating
hem from the meshes in which they
had involved themselves, without
hiding it necessary to resort to
harsh measures, and counsel in the
matter argued to great lengths con-
,erning that phase of the matter,
he trial judge finally deciding that
he case was one that merited
taught more than the careful, dis
passionate, unprejudiced ruling of
the court, upon the law covering
the subject, to assure to all parties
interested equity and justice to all
Judge Hart gave to the case his
close and undivided attention and
after hearing the evidence of both
sides reached the conclusion that
the defendants had willfully re-
fused to abide by the rules of the
injunction issued by another judge
and he assessed Legarza with a
ine of 800, and made the other
defendants feel quite thankful by
exacting from each of them only
$25.
The case is one arising from
friction regarding rights to the
waters of Quinn river, for irriga-
tion purposes, and while this may
for time, quell the controversial
issue, its complete subsidence will
not be attained until proper con.
servation methods are inaugurated

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
AT SCHOOL YESTERDAY

/. In connection with its observance
of American Educational Week"
the ,Winnemucca grammar school
rendered most interesting and in
structive program yesterday after
noon. 1nterspersed with the ex-
ercises rendered by the pupils and
classes of the grammar school were
a musical selection by Mrs. L. G.
Campbell and addresses by Mrs. w.
G. Adamson, Mayor Brandon, L.
G. Campbell, II. H. Westervelt, Mrs.
w. C. Black, Mrs. Cora Watt rep
resenting the Winnemucca Parent
Teachers association. In their ad-
dresses, which were all deserving of
special commendation the speakers
sought to instill into the minds of
the grammar school pupils the fact
that all the fundamental principles
Of education and government begin
in the individual; that only as the
individual is true to self will he
prove Of worth to his neighbor and
his government.
Following the program a meeting
Of the Winnemucca Parent Teachers
association was held. Plans were
devised whereby either soup or
cocoa could be furnished to pupils
who are compelled to take their
loon lunch in the school building.
rhe cost of such an addition to the
pupils lunch will not exceed two
cents day to each scholar.

RED CROSS DRIVE MEETS
WITH SPLENDID RESULTS

The countrywide drive made for
the purpose of appreciably enlarg-
ing the membership of the Red
Cross ranks has attained a wonder
full success, absolutely proving
if proof were required-that the
people, throughout the country,
realize the Importance of the work
the Red Cross is devoted to and are
only too quick to respond when
ever it is brought to their attention
that assistance is imperatively de-
manded.
1t is a fact admitted and recog-
nized by an men and women who
have ever given to Red Cross work
their hearty support, that no other
organization, within the United
States, at least, meets with such
universal appreciation; and those
who have really devoted any of
their energy towards the upbuilding
of the organization are agreed that
no strenuous strain upon the men,
tality is experienced by those who
IRE the most successful promoters
# the work and that wholehearted
1elief in the inestimable humani-
.arian value of the cause and the
willingness to put forth some ener-
yetic efforts to bring tn ematter to
the attention of the people, always
gets results that workers in no other
similar cause can so easily bring
about.
The chairman of the local chapter,
makes the statement, it is reported,
that the total membership in the
country, since the completion of the
recent drive, is SIS, and when one
pauses to reflect upon the popula-
tion of the county, this is an ac-
credited membership that does
honor to the entire people of the
county, as it is tantamout to a we'll
phrased testimonial setting forth the
goodness of heart of the people who
dwell within the boundary lines of
Humboldt county.

JUDGE MAY NOT
Be THE DEsP0T
Trial by Jury Is Constitutional Right
Counsel for Farmers Say and
Men Fined May Have Just
Loaned the Fines

Judge Hart, who fined the farm
ers of the Quinn river district, for
their alleged violation of court
injunction issued in favor of the
plaintiff-the Pacific Live Stock
company-some years ago, is GO
ing to be required to set forth reas-
ons for his arbitrary refusal to
grant the defendants trial by jury.
1t is stated that the case was set
down for jury trial, demanded by
the defendants, who had entered
pleas of not guilty; and the case
was called for trial by jury before
Judge Hart during the current week.
On motion of counsel for plaintiff
that jury be dispensed with and
over the vehement protests and
strenuous objections of counsel for
the farmers, the court held that the
law of 1913, granting right Of jury
trial in cases of this nature was un-
constitutional and void and, so hold
ing, dismissed the jury and tried the
case himself, finding the farmers all
guilty and fining them in sums rang
ing from $25 to 500. The judg-
ment was entered Thursday night
last and Immediately following the
decision of Judge Hart, Attorney
]. w. Dignon, departed from here
for Carson City, to appear before
the supreme court for writ of
certiorari and, at noon today his
law partner, Harry Warren, re-
ceived a telegram from Attorney
Dignon that the supreme court had
granted the writ retugnable not
later than January 10, which re-
quires Judge Hart to defend the
legality of his judgment in denying
to the farmers trial by jury-a
right that is constitutionally theirs.
The result of this case will be
awaited with no little concern as
it will establish precedent of the
highest importance to the farmers
of not only Humboldt county but
the entire state, as it will determine
the right of trial by jury for such
alleged violations, as well as settle
the rights prior appropriators have.
