Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-08-22
AT THE PORT AND ELSEWHERE.

The readers Of the MoRNING APPEAL are
once more indebted tn Mr. S. L. Jones OF
Empire. They have been frequently in his
debt before We have pumped more items
out OF him than any man who was ever nursed
by the cooling nlurmurs of the babbling Car
son. He informs that that buggy team,
buggy and all, whose runaway on Monday
night, we noted; belong to him. A fellow -cltl-
zen from the Port had come to town Herewith
and some huttering of ladies dresses and the
laugh and chatter of children had set them
off, and so they steered in their somewhat
wild and irregular way, for home. The horses
got home in pretty god condition consider
ing the time made and the excitement under
gone. AS to the hu 10y, it WAS not rs much
damaged as ono would suppose it would be.
1t made one or two unfortunate and ill-reg
ulated caroms, here ou u post and there OIL an
old wagon bod, and c,psz9d time or two,
but got on its wheels az ain and fetched
through all right, with che exception Of Il few
missing spoI,es Whc it first upset, I'll tn,
cushions. robes, lap cloths, whip and other
paraphernalia split ont; and there
nothing los, these BON; all i'll heap and
easily gathered together. When the trouble
began the top WAS TUNED down. When the
Journey was finished the top was all up, with
studdng sails allow anl alo;t and everything
III ship-shape Surprising smart team that.
From Mr.. Jones we also learn that the
Empire school will be opened on the first
Monday in September, with Ms. Webster
as principal and Miss Minnie Blackburn as
assistant. The E nplre school district is in a
fourishing condition; the school-house is
greatly enlarged; and the tuition impaired
promises to DO first rate.
Yesterday we learned for the first that the
FreemasOns had purchased and set apart some
two acres and half of land for a cemetery.
The same lies Just north of Mr.. Wright
grounds, under the shadow of the rocky
mountain there Burlingame and Cheney of
the committee went out there yesterday to do
something about a fence and to see about
spring, etc. This is very commendable
enterprise.
Yesterday mornings train fetched good |
packages of choice cigars for Dir. Jacob |
Tobriner The cigars are in superior con-
dition The arriving citizens looked fresh
and hearty Johnny Skae, the Sierra Nevada
man, Lon Hamilton, the mining Superinten-
dent, Hon. James F. Lewis, the well known
lawyer; and Frank Bell, the telegraph man,
were among the arrivals alluded to. Also
among the arrivals were two boxes of the
fairest, handsomest and most thoroughly bred
white Leghorn chickens ever seen in all these
parts They were consigned to Mr., Geoage
Chedic Uncle Brad Moore intimated that
i1e was in with the import.
The barometer is way down, down, down!
The looks of the clouds yesterday afternoon
indicated business Are we going to have a
water spout} Is three days rain upon usl
Are we on the eve of convulsion of nature?
Indians in squads of unusual numbers, es-
pecially about Kitzmeyer's furniture house
forebode something. Maybe it's buscuits
Sure enough it does mean the noble red mans
game of cards and lively gamble in such
small stocks as Mister Indian affects withal.
Speaking of Empire, Tom Beer was in from
there yesterday. His sails were set for home
when we last saw him.
The boys who galIop their mustangs so rapid
ly thro' our main streets are not reckless
enoughto be astounding noryet carefulensugh {
to be admired. They will, we fear, hurt
big or little, one Of these days; :
and then somebody will feel very sorry--and
II wont be the horse
The Good Templars Picnic will take place
next Saturday-at Bowers Mansion. We
notice tickets for sale at Fox's
