WANTED IN THIS COUNTY.
John Curtain After Serving Out Uncle
Sans Sentence Will be Brought
Here.

Special Deputy Sheriff William NJ.
Erskine leaves to-day for Columbus, O.,
with requisition papers for an inmate of
the Government penitentiary, named
John Curtain, whose time of incarcera-
ton expires on the Oath.
Judging from the history of Curtains
career the past few years, he is destined
to be continuous occupant of PRISONS
cell for some time to come. He is just
finishing a sentence of Is months received
at the hands of Uncle Sans court at
Sparta, S. G.. being convicted for passing
as U. s. Inspector and under this guise
he made visits and examinations through
post offices all over the country.
Curtain is wanted in this county to an
swer an indictment charging him with
burglary. Nearly two years ago he
broke in the depot at Gurley and in addi-
tion to this offense committed other dep
relations in that little town, but before
our county authorities could get hold
of him he was arrested by Deputy
Marshal and carried to South Carolina,
where he was tried and convicted of the
above mentioned crime.
Curtains case is a plain and conclusive
one, and no doubt he will plead guilty
when arraigned before the February
term OF county court to answer to the
charge Of burglary.

Elko Produce May be Needed for
Eastern Markers.

r. Il. Fiiton, of the Board of Trade,
is in Elko and thinks business
could be built up in tine way of ship
ping brewing barley To the East.
There Is no better barley raised than
that from here, and this county could
produce immense quantities. Mr..
Fulton is going TO San Francisco, and
viii see what rates could be obtained.
The demand is something vast, and is
growing all the time. If rates could
be made similar to those on other
heavy fceights an outlet would be
given for barley by the trajn-load.
A great deal of barley is stored in
this county, and thousands of tons
could be raised yearly. Something
is necessary to help to market crops.
A four mill would be an advantage,
and a creamery could 6nd markets
for everything it made. The natural
grasses of Elko are far better for but
ter and cheese than alfalfa. Every
one of the valleys has feed quail 10
sustaining creamery in each. 1t
might be well for the farmers to cor
respond with the Board Of Trade aud
give an idea OF what crops can be
raised and what rates they could
stand.

railroad Co. will make rate on bar
ley FROM Elko by which the barley
raised in thIs county can be shipped
to Eastern markets at profit to the
ranchers. Ii this can be done,
1T will open the markets OF
the East to our surplus
proauots and our ranchers will not be
compelled TO sell their grain to the
cormorants of California at COST what

use its influence to secure this rate
from the Railroad Co. Our columns

The cbildren,s Christmas.

The children OF Elko have had
glorious Christmas. On Thursday
night Freeman Hall was filled To over
flowing by the older people drswn
there to witness the ehiIdren's dance.
Young America was out in all his
glory,-tbe monarch of all he sur
veyed bent upon showing the older
people that he knew a tbipg or two
about dancing. Miss America, toc,
was there in all her queeply pride
keeping watchful eye on tbe young
gallant by her side just as her older
sisters do.
TIE fun commenced with the grand
march led by Mr.. Ray Harris and
Miss Cora Taber in which forty four
couples took part Polkas, quadrilles
and waltzes followed fast to the vol
unteer music of Messers Hull, Eggers
and Mayer and Mrs. Mayer.
The skirt dance by z couples,
drilled by Miss Ruth Russell brought
down the house aud deserved the
hearty encore it received. More dane
ing by the future men and women
followed and then came the fan drill
by 16 rosy faced maidens marshaled
by Miss Marlett. They marched and
cuntermarched, formed stars and did
many other pretty things with the
precision of veterans and were reward
! cd by the hearty applause of the spec
tators. Then came more dancing till
supper was announced and each gal :
liant with his partner went to the De-
pot Hotel and feasted on the good
things provided by Elko's kind ladies.
The tables loaded with sweets and
dainties OF all kinds in the beginning
looked as If a cyclone had struck it
when the little ones bad finished.
After the children left the hall the
music again struck up and dancing
was continued by the older people
until late 10 the morning.
! Last night the church bell rang at
g o'clock summoning old and young
to the Christmas tree loaded down
with gifts bought by the Committee
with the fund 30 generously con-
tributed by our citizens.
Young America, male and female,
was out in full force and filed the
church in every nook and corner.
The program as published 10 Thurs
day % lEDgPENDENr was carried out
and then the noise aud din from q
hundred throats made merry music
TO all while the presents were being
distributed. After the distribution
the people, young and old, retired to
their homes well satisfied With the
