Humboldt Wins Suit Over County Care Costs in 1892 Case
The Elko district court awarded Humboldt about $1,000 for care and funeral expenses of a pauper in Humboldt care. Lander appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court, which affirmed. Lander Commissioners then refused payment, prompting Humboldt to seek a mandamus from the Supreme Court to compel funding. The court ordered the writ to issue, with a likely non-appeal by Lander. The piece includes a satirical gossip description and notes on Nevada mining production and local items.
