almost unanimous vote of the people, who
elected their representatives from this and
Storey County on the issue limited at, and
With the understanding that they should sup
port bill authorizing the counties to sub
scribe to the undertaking. In the meantime
there was, in Carson, show Of opposition.
Among its opponents was eX-Attorney Cen

emphasizing his unwillingness to accede to
the railway peoples plans, made a proposition
County (after the $500, 900 had been sub
scribed), to obtain, in consideration of fee of
$50 600, decision from the Supreme Court

r.ected Old BroadhorIs.
Among others who voted for Bradley was
b. H. Meder, the present Dolly Warden
Senator from this county Also he voted (aS
he stated during the recent canvass) fol
Greeley in 1872.
In 1874 MIR. Meder again bolted the Re
