represent the county in the Legis-
lature. The men were sent, and
at once Reno began to hold weekly
mass-meetings for the purpose OF
instructing said best men how to
vote, and what to do in that great
assemblage of the solons Of Ne
vada, the Legislature.
One thing was noted in those
meetings and that was, that no
two of the participants could agree
upon any question under discus
sion.
Itbecame evident however, from
expressions let drop by an indi-
vidual who is celebrated for loot
ing everything that he can lay his
hands on, that a job was up, and
as the fellow waxed warm in the
advocacy Of his plan (for the benefit
Of Reno of course) from time to
time the good people of Reno saw

a job fer a Public Park in Reno.
