s|sNEY DIVORCE
DENIED BY JUDGE
Contested Divorce Action Results in
No Decree to Either Party and
Sisneys Still Are Married
in Eyes of the Law

A decision in the divorce case of
Thos. L. Sisney VS.. Sarah L. Sisney,
which has been occupying attention
in district court here for some time,
was filed last night by Judge J. A.
Callahan, the decision being a denial
of the divorce decree.
Sisney was an arrival in this city
over a year ago and instituted di-
vorce proceedings against his wife,
who was then residing in Pennsyl-
vania. She contested the action and
the trial was set for the 10th of this
month, at which time she made her
appearance in this city. She had
engaged T. A. Brandon as her at
torney and Sisney had engaged
Warren & Hawkins to represent
him. During the trial great deal
of evidence of non-complimentary
character was offered by both plain
tiff and defendant, each alleging ac-
tions of unprintable character on
the part of the opponent. The re-
markable feature of the proceedings
was that in spite Of allegations
made by defendant, she desired to
keep her husband at all costs, not
asking for a divorce decree or all
mony or property settlement.
In the judges decision he declared
that plaintiff had furnished testi-
mony without sufficient preponder-
ance of fact and that in view Of the
fact that plaintiff had declared that
defendant had at one time struck
him with a road of a Morris chair,
when in truth the rod was from a
window curtain, and that upon an
other occasion she had locked him
in the cellar but unknown to her,
and that upon many occasions she
had accused him of drunkenness,
which allegation the Judge was in
clined to believe to be the prob
able case, and upon testimony be-
lieved upon sufficient evidence that
plaintiff had abandoned defendant
in depot leaving her only $3.50,
saying that he was going to see a
tailor, and thereafter failing to
show up-he saw fit to deny the
granting of the divorce.

SHEEHAN NAMED
FOR CONF FERENCE
Local Banker Selected as One of 81,
to Meet in Washington to Plan
Method of Stablizing Farm
and Livestock Industries

A definite step looking to the
stablization of finances of the farm.
ing and livestock industries of the
United States was taken when O
committee of six men from western
states, headed by Senator ]. Shee-
han of this city, was named at the
convention held by the American
National Livestock Association in
Denver, August 25 and &c, attended
by representatives of the livestock
industry from all portions of the
country.
This committee is to meet in
Washington, d. c., some time dur
ing November, the exact date to be
set later, to discuss financial mat
ters pertaining particularly to the
livestock and farming industries and
to perfect some permanent plan
for caring for financial and market
ing needs of those engaged in the
industries. It may be possible that
amendments will be made to the
federal reserve act permitting hand
ling of livestock loans on broader
margins than at present, with
longer maturity dates, and perhaps
enlarging the scope of joint land
banks. No definite program has
been mapped out and the committee
will be free to devise any other
plans to accomplish the end de-
sired.
The committee to meet in Wash
ington is composed Of Senator J..
Sheehan of this city, representing
Nevada; c. d. Carey of Wyoming,
w. d. Johnson Of Arizona, d. A..
Mile of New Mexico and Victor
Culberson of Colorado.
The appointment of Senator Shee-
han was somewhat of a surprise in
livestock circles, he not being a
member of the American National
Livestock Association and urged
to attend the convention in Denver
only at the solicitation of officers
OF tae ei san.za..oa. Upon arrival
there he was given n prominent
place in the speaking program of
the national body and his appoint
nent followed, probably because of
his intimate knowledge of western
livestock and farming needs as well
as his recognized ability in financial
and banking matters. He. returned
to his home here Sunday night.

CLOUDbURsTs IN
NUMEROUS PLACES
Southern Pacific Trains Delayed
by Heavy Downpour of Rain
and Roads are Washed Out
in Different Places

Southern Pacific trains were tied
up here last night for several hours
on account of a near cloudburst
near Inlay, the deluge covering the
tracks in that vicinity and making
travel over them unsafe. Although
no tracks were washed out, water
and mud is said to have covered
them for considerable distance and
all traffic was suspended in that
vicinity. As result of this tieup,
trains are running on a belated
schedule through here today, No.
10 being nearly two and one half
hours late this evening.
That a veritable river of mud and
debris was washed down from Inlay
canyon and Humboldt canyon near
INLAY is reported by motorists who
passed through that city yesterday
evening making the road almost i'm
passible in several places, the water
cutting deep gullies and bitches at
various points along the highway.
The storm was more or less gen
eral, it is said by different persons
arriving in this city today from
various parts of the county, similar
deluges having occurred in many
places. In the Willow Point dis
trict the storm was particularly
ferocious and in this city the
streets were turned to mud for a
considerable length of time. AL
though thunder and lightning were
very much in evidence no reports
have been receiver of damage done
by the latter.

PROFESSIONAL TEMPERAMENT
CAUSE OF FISTIC BATTLE

Sheriff George Brady was called
onto the stage at the show tent in
this city last night to settle dis
pute which arose between two Of
the actors. AS nearly as can be
gotten at the truth of the matter
one of the combatants, who was the
stage manager, objected because one
of the male singers sang in the or
chestra pit instead of on the stage
as was his custom, resulting in q
calling down by the manager. Brady

ROGERS MATCHES
WITS WITH COBB

When a couple of humorists like
Irwin S. Cobb and Will Rogers COM
bine in the making of a motion pic
ture, as is the case with "Boys Will
Be Boys" which comes to the
American theatre tonight, bunch
of personal jokes is bound to result.
Rogers has one on Cobb which he
says he spent quite a while in dig
ging up. It seems that during a lee
ture tour, Cobb was introduced at
great length and with many flour
ishes by the local chairman of the
meeting. Finally the provincial ora
tory was ended with:
81 wish to introduce you teE Irwin
S. Cobb, the well-known huaeoxist
and writer"
At this a all, lanky figure un-
folded itself YEARLY from front
row seat, while a voice remarked
disgustedly, "Oh, Gosh! | thought
it was Tyl"
Boys and girls under 15 free
tonight.
Mr.. Atkinson is brilliant lawyer,
possessing a trained legal mind. He
is one of the most successful prac-
titioners before the courts of this
state, and enjoys lucrative prac-
tice, and his integrity has never
been questioned.
Chandler Also Confident
Chandler had rather rough time
coming to this city, being in Inlay
at the time the heavy downpour of
yesterday commenced which delayed
trains and washed out the highway
in places. Near Rose Creek he got
into soft spot in the road, which
is covered with soft material washed
down from the hills, but managed
to get his car out after a couple of
hours Of digging. He is confident
of nomination, but says a puzzling
matter is that his four opponents
for the Republican nomination are
similarly confident.
Chandler has been resident and
practicing attorney in Ely since
January, 1905, is recognized by both
bench and bar as one of the leading
lawyers of the state and has won
universal respect for his ability and
integrity. This was attested in no
small measure when he was elected
speaker of the 1921 Nevada assem-
bly,. He had served in the previous
session and although the lower house
was Democratic in its political com.
plexion that year, Mr.. Chandler be-
came recognized as the virtual lead
er of that body.
He was born on a ranch near
Baker, in eastern Oregon, forty-six
years ago, where conditions are
somewhat similar to those in Ne
vada. He grew up on the ranch,
attend country school, did general
farm work and rode the range after
cattle. He was graduated from the
Oregon Agricultural College in
1895. Then he taught school for
year. Next he was a student at
Stanford university, from which in
stitution he was graduated in 1899.
After his graduation he entered the
San Francisco law office of Curtis
II. Lindley, the eminent mining
lawyer.
Charles S. Chandler is a fluent
and convincing speaker and his
friends and supporters argue that
his ability and intimate knowledge
of the states conditions would make
him an excellent Nevada represen-
tative in the United States senate.
