The Tuscarora Guards, Again

Our only reply to the editorial phi.
lippic published in Wednesday 3
Times-Review is the following squib
from the columns of that paper dated
Friday, January 9, 1891, which was
supposed to be true:
"a number of the Tuscarora Guards,
doubtless affected by the Indian
scare, have sent in their designations
Of late. They remind one OF the Home
Guard described by the late Lieu
peace and invisible in war" Brave
boysl"
Also the following taken from the
advertising columns of the Times
Review of the same date:
:, Attention, Company E!
You are hereby ordered to deliver
your guns, bayonets, boxes, belts and
scabbards, at the Armory on Friday
and Saturday evenings, January 9th

Tuscarora, Jan. 9th, 1890.
If the members of the Company feel
aggrieved they should pitch into the
Times-Review for publishing the
above "slanderous and Injurious
statement" concerning the military
organization, and not vent their
spleen on one at distance who con-
strues plain English to mean what it
says.
But, says the T.-R., "By the organi-
cation Of the military company, Elkc
county is and has been benefited just
SIS per month";" but how, or when, OF
in what manner the county has been
benefited the crusty scribe fails to in.
form us.
1t will be news to the people OF
Elko county TO know that what is
paid from the State treasury does not
come from the pockets of the people
for the same authority informs us
that Elko county itself does not put
up "single bean" for the payment OF
armory rent. The tax levy last year
was s1.35 on the 500 for county pur,
poses, and 80 cents for State purposes
and the taxpayers of Elko county pay
directly to the State that sum, which
amounts annually to a number Of
beans in the aggregate.
We have no feeling whatever
against the Tuscarora or any Other
military organization in tho State
nor any member thereof; and had i
not been for the ad. and the sarcastic
squib published in last Friday
Times-Review the INDEPENDENT
would not have thought of publishing
anything rejecting on the patriotism
or bravery Of the Tuscarora Guards.
