From the Appeal of yesterday

lEI'AA AAN -hIlNtA
OuR unsettled weather still continues.
Rain in the valley and suow on the
mountains. The oldest inhabitnnt 3"
is nouplusscd. Great season for cotton
woods and young ducks.
WuAr ARE We COMING To ?-Wc yes.
terday saw three boys u playing horse"
\ white boy and u little darkey were
hitched up together, aud u China boy
was holding the reins and driving them.
What will become of our constitutional
rights if this thing is suffered to con-
tinue?
PERsoSAL.-Hon. John Mnyhugh is in
town. We hear whispers of his iuten-
tious. But Dame Rumor tells so many
lies that we makes no confidence"
John is pleasantly and pr0sperouSly To-
Gated in Elko County and feels ut peace
with the world. Glad to see him, and
wish him success in his designs and un-
dertakings.
ELEo County is in II fair why to be
soon organized. On the 18th instant
there was over the requisite 1000 votes
registered, aud several days margin
vet to 90 on. 1t is probable that within
n few weeks the. special election pro-
vidcd for in the bill creating the new
county will be held for the various Of
fcers. The prosperity of Elko is one Of
the gratifying fruits Of the great railroad.
\ PgEsEYrArioN.-Capt. Wallace, Of
the Warm Springs Hotel, was the
recipient Of u fine set Of bar tools,
presented by Mart Reese, yesterday, in
u pathetic and unique speech, which
was replied to by n friend Of the Cap
tain's. in an original speech, who said,
" BOYS. take n drink" Everybody
stood in. The fixtures consist Of q
corkscrew, IL lemon squeezcr and lime
knife, all Silyer.plated, aud taken all
together would make n fue ornament
for a family sideboard.
\ TERRIFIC dog fight occurred at the
Warm Springs yesterday between the
bulldogs Rather" and "Crib,"
owned by TWO gentlemen residing in
shat vicinity. The meeting of the dogs
was purely accidental, but when they
did meet, u thunder storm would be no
comparison to the noise made. Legs,
Jaw bones and blood flew in every
direction the air was alive with dust
and small rocks, aud the encouraging
voices of their owners OF Go for him,
Crib" aud "Snail him, Rather" \
crowd gathered, and bets were offered
on each favorite and freely taken, but
the dogs after fighting u full half hour
threw up the sponge, and SUNK away
to their separate kennels. Strange to
say, 40 man fight occurred.
HANK Monk go; ii last spike" YES
terday. II was presented to him by
some apprcciative cuss ut Elko. This
beautiful and appreciativc gilt was
accompanied by II heightened letter
from nm authorized proxy for the c. p.
L. L. and U. p. Il r. combined. This
spike was evidently stolen from II Chi
uese r%aiiroadcr and coated with silver
of the tin foil variety by somebody who
had used up II paper Of s%olnce, and
wisely employed the wrapper in the
artistic mahaer indicated. Hank de-
serves a bushel or two of spikes of pure
bullion; and in this connection it is
not inappropriate to say that the rail
road companies, having used up the
staging business, ought to provide cm-
ploymeut for the old drivers. We don't
know whether Hank would have such
q place, but We speak for the fraternity Of
which be isH member IN good Standing. |
