Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-06-14
JUNE IA. 1879
A LITTLE OFF.

the mass meeting that was held in Virginia
on Thursday evening, as kind of counter
movement against our Fourth of July celebra-
ton, winds up an inyective against our city
as follows:
The whole business was looked upon
Carson dodge, and d species of attempted
coercion, else why should they raise money to
purchase uniforms for the Governors staff and
to carry the military companies to Carson
when he made the excuse of lack in this re-
spect on being invited to join in their celebra-
ton and hold a reviewl They say it looks as
if the Carsonites think that by getting review
ordered for the Fourth and taking away all
the military, they will be able to prevent a
celebration this year the ComstOck.
AS general thing the Enterprise pursues a
more generous course and confines itself more
strictly within the bounds of facts than is
shown in the above extract from its columns
This city took the initiative steps for a Fourth
of July celebration this year, before ever the
Comstockers intimated that they intended
to have parade on that day. 1t was agreed
that if the militia of the Comstock came here
on the coming Fourth of July, we would
forego celebrating next year, and all go to
Virginia. Even after these facts were made |
public no objections were heard from above. |
But SO soon as it is known that sufficient
money has been subscribed to carry the pro-
posed celebration to successful issue, a growl
is heard from an interested quarter on the
Comstock, and the Enterprise ungenerously
champions the cause of the malcontents. We
have it direct from IAN indisputable source,
that the Storey county militia are not the par
ties who are clicking up the row" but, on the
contrary, they are rather delighted with the
contemplated visit to this city. The proposed
celebration here is not Carson dodge, as it
is called by the Enterprise, as the money col
lected is for the purpose of paying for the
and subsistence of the Sto-
reg county militia, and not to buy uniforms
for the Governors staff; the gentlemen of
the staff are abundantly able and willing to
buy their own soldier clothes.
IT is reported that Mr.. James Duffy claims
title to the springs purchased by the State
few days since. Upon what he bases his t
claim has not been learned yet. The State is t
experiencing the greatest difficulties
in getting water for the Capitol '
building and Orphans Home No sooner is a
| purchase decided upon than it is ascer- a
aimed that there is not an adequate supply of S
water in the spring, the seller has no good 9
title to the property, or some other difficulty
rises whereby the State is deprived of the
greatly desired element What's going to be

On the top of the flag staff in front of the P
Monarch saloon, opposite the railroad depot, t
here is gilt eagle. Last evening at the o
ime when the usual hustle attendant upon Il
he arrival and departure of the train was in "
rogress, little martin perched on that "
7ooden eagle, making wild attack upon it,
ecking away as if for dear life. After the u
title aggressor found that the image would II
lot defend itself, the martin few off as if
realty disguised. 1t was indeed, an odd and
nusual sight
