Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-12-20
FROM THE FRONT.

All the old residents of Carson known Sam
Tanovich. Sam for many years let his face
shine among the bottles and demiions and
barrels of Uncle George Flyers down town
house: and he has been restaurant man, and
a caterer and general utilitarian in many
ways and places, nobody knows how many
years. Wen, Sam slipped away quietly a few
months ago to take a look at the old home on
the frontier of Sclavic Austria. While he was
about it, he thought he would run over into
Montenegro and take look at the war We
respect our spelling book and adore our geo.
graphy, and so for fear Of getting the names
wrong we won't attempt to describe the tour
OF his adventures. We know all about it but
we might possibly get a name out of joint and
so refrain from attempting We are non
commital about everything but Rutschuck
Sam went there, of course, for it was there,
with his priestly robes about him and his
sword in his good right hand Sans father
went forth to battle in the three weeLs
bloody war-work between Austria and Ger
many. Sam says he was under fire on the
border there-somewhere toward Bulgaria,
we take it. He is glad to get back to the days
and ways Of peace; and he is to be found at
Clescovich's popular restaurant, where he will
tell his short but exciting narrative.
WEEK BEFORE CHRIsTMAs.-The last week
before Christmas seems to be the longest one
in the fifty two to most children, and espec-
I'll, 10 H. 10 Ill,
that Santa Claus will deal literally with them
We are confident that in many household in
this city, during this week, the first cry heard
in the morning is, Mamma, how many more
days before Christmas?" And when told that |
so and so many days are yet wanting before |
the arrival of the eventful day, murmur of
disgust at the hardness of the yearly visitor
can be heard issuing from under the bed
clothes. The youngsters sole topic of talk,
at the present time, on the street, at home
and in the school yard during recess, is
Christmas. 1t is the happiest era in life when
one can look forward to Christmas with such
a.degree of expectancy and joyful anticipations
as the little ones of Carson.
A LITTLE FIRE-A spark from the chin
ney ignited the roof of the card-room of
Decker & Co.'S saloon yesterday. The fire
was discovered by a party of pedro players,
ere it made much Roadway. The damage is
but would have been greater had
not that game of pedro been feurishing. In
this case cards saved property-thereby over
throwing the orthodox theory that card play
ing is destructive.
THE KIDNAPPING CASE. Officers Stern and |
Duncan yesterday arrested three Cinnamon
implicated in the kidnapping of China girl i
lew days since A fourth Romeo is still at +
arge, and there is a strong probability that 1
ne will be Gagged to-day. The girl, as yet, is
ION est i1auentus, but as soon as the amorous
Iuartette is concentrated, there is no doubt /
hat Juliet will be forthcoming s
THE New SEwER.-The new sewer running
rom the State Capitol to Willis corner, which
s being constructed under the supervision of I
Street Commissioner st. Clair, is being pushed .
onward as fast as muscle and skill will do it.
t is creditable piece of work. All hail to n
ur worthy Street Commissioner. Fl
