Brown of Winnemucca. Judge Brown heard the lengthy trial here several weeks ago after it had been pending in the district court since the complaint was filed in October, 1923.

In addition to $952.70 in wages awarded to Mr. Incaby, Judge Brown granted him a penalty of $150vfrom Mr. Sario, interest on the salary sum at 7 per cent, $500 attorney fees and costs. Mr. Sario in a counter claim had charged that Mr.

Incaby had been responsible for a loss of sheep and had failed to do this work properly and that nothing was due him. Sparks during the two years by SPPCo. Talk concerning the franchise under which Sierra Pacific operates in the western Nevada area was another feature of Thursday's meeting. William Forman, attorney for the utility firm, said the franchise was granted by state legislative act in 1901, has been amended several times since and is in effect until at least 1954. Power officials said that figures listed quoted to the Sparks representatives as the cost of generat-, ing electricity by diesel engines, when compared with actual costs incurred by SPPCo.

in operating its diesel generators at Battle Mountain showed that the Sparks quotations are probably considerably lower than what the actual expenses would be. Mr. Foote said that the Sparks group is to continue to assemble data on the subject and has slated another meeting with Sierra Pacific representatives Monday. He added that the Sparks officials intend to meet soon with the Nevada public service commission for discussion of the rail city's power problems. Further discussions of the electric power shortage as it affects Sparks were conducted Thursday by members of the rail city administration and Sierra Pacific Power co.

officials. Sparks authorities Friday met with representatives of manufacturers of diesel engine generators in efforts to obtain information towards possibly installing them as at least a supplemental power source. Harry S. Foote, Sparks councilman and chairman of a special council committee investigating the power situation there, said today that Thursday's meeting centered around needs of the rail city community insofar as electricity is concerned and the possibility of the needs being filled within the near future. Power company spokesmen today said they had been asked to supply the Sparks officials with figures as to power delivered to Sparks in 1942 and 1947.

Including the mount generated by Sierra Pacific itself and the amount purchased from Pacific Gas and Electric. They said the figures would be furnished along with listings as to the amount of water furnished Seeks Control Of Flamingo CARSON, April 3. UP The Nevada supreme court heard arguments Thursday on a New York real estate man's attempt to gain control of Las Vegas' swanky Flamingo hotel, formerly owned by the late Bugsy Siegel. Morris Rosen, New York and Las Vegas real estate man, told the court he purchased 7500 shares of stock in the hotel, but that the corporation refused to issue him the stock. He alleged it has "peculiar and special value" because it carries sufficient voting power to control the $3,900,000 establishment.

Sanford Adler, president of the hotel firm, contended the stock never was sold to Rosen, that Rosen previously had agreed, if the stock was transferred, control of the firm would remain with Adler. Adler took over the hotel after Siegel was shot to death in a gangland assassination at Beverly Hills, Calif. The court took the case under advisement.

Phone 2-1323 Dim-Out is Eased On Business Signs SVadsworth High School Problem Decision Asked Attorney General To be Asked to Rule on Matter With less money available than be needed to finish out the school term, Wadsworth school trustees have asked a determination of the status of the town's high school. I Because of questions, as to the district's authority to operate the high school during the current school year, Wadsworth school of i-' cials say that tax money ordinarily available to them is not now available. Wadsworth officials and their attorney, E. C. Carville, and Gordon Thompson of the district attorney's office have asked a conference on the matter with Attorney General Alan Bible.

They asked Mr. Bible to invite Mildred Bray, state superintendent of public instruction and Byron Stettler, deputy superintendent for this area, to attend. O. The high school's financial troubles originated during the 1945-46 school year. It began the term with more than the minimum of eight students, but ended it with two.

During 1946-47, Wadsworth students attended nearby Fernley high school. At the beginning of the current term last fall there again were more than eight students, Wadsworth school officials say, so the high school was resumed, Acting on a decision of attorney general which, however, was not requested specifically to cover the Wadsworth case, Miss Bray reportedly has held the view that the Wadsworth high school had ceased to exist in that its average daily attendance fell below eight and it was discontinued one year. Another state law, it was stated, provides that schools which cease to exist shall not be revived if another high School is available within 40 miles. How the Wadsworth district was able to start its school again last fall in the face of the ruling and the statute was not explained. However, a budget for the school was approved by the Washoe county commissioners.

Some funds which formerly were available to the district were transferred when the school ceased and have not been restored, leading to the present deficit. Teacher pay and other bills are reportedly overdue. Mr. Thompson said today that the conference with Mr. Bible will ex- Oplore the Wadsworth casa specifically to determine whether the attorney general's former opinion applies, or whether the revival of the Wadsworth high school is legal.

If the revival of the high school Js determined to have been legal, enough money reportedly will be available to enable the district to meet its expenses for the remainder of the year. Aocompanied by Mr. Carville, Joseph Goss, chairman of the Wadsworth trustees, and Joseph Ceresola, former chairman, brought the problem Thursday to Mr. Thompson.

(JP) Heiress Ann Cooper Hewitt Nicholson, 33, central figure in a sensational sterilization case in 1936, was fined $1000 Friday for perjury. Her radio disc jockey husband, whom she married less than 24 hours his previous wife committed suicide, also was fined $1000 for the same offense. Mrs.

Nicholson, heiress daughter of the late millionaire inventor, Peter Cooper Hewitt, and Frank Nicholson, her fourth husband, were convicted recently of perjuring themselves at a previous trial. At that trial, ending in a hung were accused of conspiring to violate state laws requiring pre-marital blood tests. Superior Judge J. O. Moncur placed the two on five-year probation and granted them permission to go to Portland, where Nicholson said he had a disc jockey job.

The heiress sued two physicians in 1936, charging that they conspired with her mother to sterilize her and prevent her from bearing heirs to her father's fortune. The charges were dismissed for lack of evidence after physicians testified they did sterilize her but there was no conspiracy. The charge against her mother was never pressed.

Allard, chairman of the commission. The modifications were made as the result of a strong request for such action from Reno and Sparks area businessmen.

Instead, he explained, they will simply alter the ways in which allotted power may be used. The seven modifications: 1.
