Vetoed by the Auditor.

On account of the veto of the action
of the Board of County Commissioners
of Ormsby by the Auditor, the $500
appropriated by vote of 2 to 1 for
the Nevada exhibit will not be added
to the fund. If the vote of the Board
had been unanimous if favor of the
appropriation the Auditors veto would
not have been effective.

How it Came There.


One of the State exchanges last week
published an item to the effect that a
piece of quartz has been picked up on
an ore dump of mine in the western
part of the State which was pro-
nounced by several persons as being
an excellent likeness in profile of
Hon. Thomas Wren. Clay Simms, of
this place, who read the item above
referred to in the Sentinel, and who
is quite curiosity seeker, brought to
this office the other day apiece of rock
which was found at the Diamond
mine that is most perfect likeness in
profile of Major John III. Dennis.
County Clerk Harmon, after looking
at it remarked: ~ thing I can explain
how that likeness of the Major came
there. I've heard him say that along
in the fifteenth century somewhere,
when he and Balboa discovered the
Pacific Ocean, he gave Balboa the
shake and started across the continent.
When he reached the place where
prospect Mountain now stands he
found quite an Indian village located
there. He also found a lively poker
game in full blast. There being no
objection offered by the natives, the
Major took hand, and cleaned out
the aborigines as clean as a shot gun.
The last hand held in the game by
the Major was five aces. This being
considered sucha remarkable thing, one
of the native sculptors cut out of rock
a likeness of that spermaceti duck,
and this, no doubt, is the same one. :"
Sentinel
Ever since that not only seeming
but far-off time back in the sixties,
when the present County Clerk of
Eureka and Major Dennis resided in
Austin, the former has been trying to
get even on the latter. Harmon was
an owner in the Savage mine, Reese
River mining district, then, and the
Major was so well fixed that he might
have been called gentleman of leis-
ure. About that time the Walter
Bray theatrical troupe arrived in Aus
tin with Miss Flora Bray as the draw
ing card, and for several months
Bradford's Hall was filled to the
doors every night. To say that Miss
Flora was the center of attraction,
and that she had many intense but
distant admirers, is drawing it mild.
At length a piece of poetry appeared
in the Reveille headed thusly: ITO
F***# B***," followed by the love
lorn lay:
81 love her more
Than all the lore
That from the Grecians came,
But | will not breathe her name" etc.
The Major tumbled to the author
and in the next issue of the Reveille
got in as follows:
81 love her more
Than all the ore
That from the Savage came,
But will not breathe her name" etc.
f. III. came around to the Office
next day with welding heat on and
fatty accused the publisher with hav-
ing abused all the confidence vouch-
safed to contributor, which was
promptly denied in language quite as
forcible. Rufus may have for
given the publisher, but it is plain
that he has it in for the Major till yet.
