fills column and half space in recount
ing what purports to be "reminiscences Of
the life and character of the Delosses. who
figured at Elko recently rather conspicu-
ously. Not being familiar with the biog-

we are not in position to vouch for ma
jority of the lively episodes in their event
full lives recorded by the Examiner his
torian, and were it not for an abiding
faith in the answering fidelity of the
entire corps of newspaper reporters, the
suspicion might be harbored that this
particularly vivacious chronicler had
drawn quite generously upon vivid i'm
agination for the bulk of his facts. The
name of Turry, applied to the lady in the
case. is strange sound in this vicinity
and were it not associated with that Of the
famous fire extinguisher, the sensational
events recorded by the Examiner scribe
with Elko as the stage upon which they

The wiId Parsnip.

This plant, the fatal eating of which
WAS noted in yesterdays SENTINEL, has
been the death OF at least half q dozen
persons in this region. In the early times
three men cooked and ate mess Of wild
parsnip in Ruby Valley and all died of the
poison. We hear that an Italian several
years ago in this neighborhood had
brought into camp lot OF the roots and
was cooking them to eat when well
known gentleman of Eureka warned him
not to do so. He thought the warning
was only josh and ate up the wholelot. He
died, it is said. horrible death within q
half hour afterwards. 1t is the impress
sion that the tops of the plant are poison
ous to cattle, but we are assured that this
idea is incorrect. II is only the root that
Is poisonous to stock. In the Spring
when the ground is soft cattle in tugging
at the tops Of the parsnip pull them out
OF the ground and eat the roots, dying in
consequence. The parsnip tops are said
TO be harmless as food for cattle.
