old friend and correspondent of Susan b.,
knowing her Intention OF visiting the Pacific
and wishing to show her that attention upon
her arrival at Elko which her distinguished
ability merits, wrote to her requesting that

small children III the car. One of the little
ones, standing upon a seat near an open win

him, and he went out Of that car like a shot
out of gun. The railroad excursion party
