NEW FILING SYSTEM
INSTALLED BY CLERK

Keeping up with the latest in
ovations in filing court records,
County Clerk Scott has recently
installed the flat filing system
Not only do the papers take mp
much less space than when folded
in envelopes. as have previously
been done. but much time is saved
by both the attorneys and clerk,
as the papers arc fastened flat TO
the covers of the filing folders
and do not have to be folded and
unfolded. The risk of loss Is also
greatly lessened as the papers are
fastened in and cannot drop ont
and become mived with the papers
of other files.

Mrs. Elizabeth Barndt Buys
Interests of Her NepheWs
Through Guardian; Keep
Up Old Homestead.
(Tonopah Times)

The long cherished desire OF
Mrs. Victor Barndt, daughter or
Mrs. Sophie Williams to consoli-
date the estate under one owner
ship and thus perpetuate the pio-
neer investment of her mother
was achieved yesterday when a
deed was signed by Helen VIII
Hams transferring TO Mrs. Eliza
El2th Barndt all her interest in
che Hot Creek Ranch.
The transact on inv-lved the
old Williams homestead ranch
which on the death OF Mrs. Sophie
Williams passed into possession
of Bob and Joe Williams, sons or
Mrs. Helen Williams, who was
named as guardian. Mrs. Barndt
received the upper part OF the
ranch and some outlying acreage.
This transaction places Mrs.
Darndt in the position of being
one of the largest owners OF I'M
proved land in Nye county which
with range holdings will aggre'
gate almost 1000 acres. The price
is said by Mrs. Barndt to have
been between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mrs. Barndt explained her ac-
tion by saying it was largely bas-
ed on sentiment as it was her de-
sire to maintain the family ranch
which her parents. Joseph T. and
Sophie Williams had reclaimed
from the sagebrush and converted
into one of the most attractive
homes In the western country.
Mrs. Helen w lliams and mel
two sons will make their home in

CITY STREET PAVING
INTERESTS COUNTY
Discussion of Tax Rates and
Valuations by Joint Meet
ing of County and City
Boards.

Aside from the regular routine
| of business, the regular meeting OF
/ the Board Of County Commission.
: ers which was held yesterday was
featured by an earnest d scussion
of tax rates and valuations. The
bduget for the year 1928 was dis
cuSsed and a tentative budget
was presented to the Board of
/ County Auditor Whitehead.
! At q joint meeting of the Board
Of County and City Commission
ers hell yesterday afternoon, the
fGuestion Of street paving within
iiho city was thoroughly thrashe1
ont. All agreed that the paving
was the solution Of many diff
cu1sias, and that it ought to be
done, but old man Finance enter
ed the discussion and threw the
proverbial monkey wrench into
the wheels of the proposition.
The City Fathers requested the
county fathers to chop twelve
cents off the county rate, in order
! that the city might add that
ameunt 10 their rate, but the
county fathers proceeded to point
on that they had already chopped
all the funds over which they had
any direct control to the point
where further chopping was i'm.
possible. That seemed to leave
! the question right at hte starting
point again, and as several OF the
fathers complained of headaches
as the result of so many figures,
he discussion was adjourned until
possible.
DR.. R. w. Martin and F. S. De-
Vmney, county assessor were also
present and worked with the two
boards in an effort to arrive at
solution of THE problem confront
ting them.
/ II was finally pointed out that
wdh an add tional increase in
valuations of $13O,00O00 over the
previous increase decided upoh,
and the cutting of five cents of
he County General Fund, the
city would then be able to finance
the cost of paving the street inter
sections.
! The board of county commits
! siners however. were not able at
yes. .erday's meeting to agree that
! the county general rate would
stand the five cent reduction.
I Chairman Stewart stated that in
! his opinion the rate as already
4 planned would not be more than
sufficient for the county needs.
I'VE must remember" said Mr..
Stewart, that we have been very
fortunate for some time. OF the
last forty or fifty criminal cases
not one has required a jury trial.
Just because we have been lucky
in the past, does not mean that
we can hope 10 be so indefinitely.
You Will remember that 1t cost
over seven THOUSAND dollars to try
one criminal case We had. There
IS nothing to insure us against
having another such case during
he next year, and if we do W"
will need every cent we have f1g-
ured on to pay our expenses"
Commissioner eastman was III
clined to take a more optimistic
view Of the situation and thought
that wjh the added increase in
valuation the county could stand
the five cent cut.
Commissioner Rice did pot ex-
rress himself on the proposition
a.. yesterdays meeting.
| The matter will be further con
sidered by the board in the near
future with a view to arriving at
som solution of the problem.

Lee Wcy in Blizzard and
Spend Night ii, Sight
Of Shelter.

Watertown, N. Y.-Within sight of
shelter but unable to reach it be-
cause of the BLIZZARD two little girls
froze to death in their mothers arms
The mother herself was unconscious
from the cold but she and two other
children, although suffering greatly,
are expected to recover.
The four children of Gilbert Dunn
a farmer near Chateaugay, had gone
to school as usual in the morning But
as the blizzard rose to a fury she had
never seen before, Mrs. Dunn decided
to fetch them home.
She hitched a pair of horses to a
bobsed and started for the school,
but half mile away realized she
could not hold the horses to the road
She struggled on little further to
the home of neighbor. He took the
team and after hard fight against
the blizzard got back to his house
with the children.

The neighbor protested. The snow
WIS driving so fast before the gale
that it stung like hail. the horses
were tired, the road could hardly be
seen.
1t was only mile, though, and
Mrs. Dunn insisted All four children
crowded close to her on the unpro.
tected sleigh, and for little way the
horses pulled bravely. But Mrs. Dunn
could not keep them on the road; soon
they were plungng and rearing in
drifts above their bellies, and at last
they quit, exhausted. No amount of
flashing could urge them on.
Another farmhouse was just visible
through the swirlng snow, and Mrs.
Dunn tried to reach it on foot She
stumbled and fell a few yards from
the sleigh and just managed to crawl
back to her children.

them. Long before morning it had
covered them completely, and the IA
ther searching for them until late az
night, could have passed close with
out seeing them.
In the morning Dunn aided by two
neighbors, renewed the search. The
blizzard had partly subsidized, and after
several hours the farmer found his
family. He had to dig them out of
the snow, and when they reached the
nearest house Ina and Lena were
dead. Eyelyn's feet were so badly
frozen that they may have to be
amputated. Mrs. Dunn was in seri-

Champagne island
Is Sinking Into Sea

North Wildwood, n. J.-Swept
by swirling currents, Champagne
island, once proposed as a site
for an American Lido, is slowly
sinking, as elusive as the bub-
bles CT the wine with which its
mysterious rising from the sea
was LIBERATED a score of years
ago.
This was revealed recently by
survey which has led engineers
to believe thai the isle may later
reappear off North Wildwood
and thus necesgitate recourse
to riparian laws two centuries
and Il half old to determine
new ownership.
The island received its name
through the quantity of wine
opened when it made its ap-
pearance and title was obtained
by Charles Mace A few years
later it was purchased by Will
