WE DEFEATED The LAW
A Race For the Border Between
Sheriff and the Engineer of a
Steam Thresher.

Copyright, 1897, the S. S. Mcclure Coz
1t was in the fall of 1893 that the
western wheat crop was so unusually
abundant, especially so in eastern Kan
sas and western Missouri, and along
the fertile river valleys of this region,
where perhaps the drouth of that sum-
mer was the least felt OF anywhere in
that section, while still further east, as
far almost as Indiana, the wheat crop
was almost a failure in comparison.
The incident which am about TO re-
late happened early in October of that
fall, just after my twenty-first birth
day. Clayton Fisk a young man about
my own age, and myself, had resolved
TO start west with the intention of in
vesting our little savings in the wheat
business in some way that would pay
us a good interest on our investment.
We were full OF pluck and enthusiasm,
determined to venture our last dollar III
our enterprise. Kansas was just about
this time developing some immense
wheat sections along its border, and
ii was in this direction we took our
course. We had little over $500 be-
tween us, and after more or less care
full consideration of the matter and
the outlook ahead, we concluded to pur-
chase a traction engine and threshing
machine, and with this outfit strike off
directly westward through the wheat
regions. We went by rail to Jefferson
City, where we stopped over and went

the request of his aged mother that he
leaves US.
Miss Sadie Wood was called to the
sick bed Of her little niece. the daughter
of Mr.. Loar of Ogden. She dismissed
her school on the 23rd for the rest of
the week.
There is a young man by the name of
Moore who halls from Pennsylvania
and poses as a school teacher. He
made a good impression in Hooper,
where he was for only a short time.
He said that he had spent the winter
at a Mr.. Pierce's, in American Fork,
and that Mr.. Pierce owed him con-
siderable money. 1t is proven since he
left that he is a falsifier.
The death of Miss Cathis Parker. the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ERIN Parker,
has thrown a gloom over the entire
settlement. While the death was very
sudden it was not entirely unexpected.
She was taken sick about two years
ago with heart disease.

Cherry-red her mouth was,
Morning blue her eye.
Lady-slim her little waist,
Rounded prettily:
And her sweet smile of gladness
Made every heart rejoice:
But Sweeter even than her smile
The tones were of her voice.
Sometimes she spoke, sometimes she
sang;
And evermore the sound
F11ated, dreamy melody,
Upon the air around:
AS though 3, wind were singing
Far uD beside the sun,
Till sound and warmth and glory
Were blended all in one.

Death Of D. P. Gregory.

Mr.. p. 7. Gregory, an Old resident of
the State, diel Saturday afternoon alter
an illness OF three or four days. Mr..
Gregory came to Elko county about four
years ago AMI purchased the }. ID. Abel
ranch ut Fort Hallock. He lived there
untila few months ago when he sold out
and took a trip to Missouri. On his re-
turn he went to Lamoille Valley where
he lived with the his brotller-in-law,
Mr.. HAMMOND. During the fore part
OF last week he was around the valley
negotiating for the purchase of ranch.
About four days before his death. he was
taken with pneumonia and DR.. Mellow
ell WAS summoned. Though all that
tender nursing and medical science
could do was done, nothing could
stay the messenger OF death. Sat-
urday afternoon the summons came and
his spirit took its fight to the unseen
world.
The deceased leaves widow and one
daughter, about seven years old, to
mourn his loss.
Mr.. Gregory was a man universally
esteemed by all who knew him and his
untimely death will be mourned by a
large circle of friends.
May he sleep peacefully beneath the
sods OF the State he loved so well. l.-Elko
Independent.
The deceased was an uncle of AL
Gregory and brother of jim Gregory,
and was best known in this vicinity as
81 ud." He had owned various ranches
few miles down the river, the John
LIE. river ranch and the Proctor ranch,
and having sold them went back to Mis-
II j where he stayed but short time
and returning to Nevada located in Elko
c ,untv.
Wadsworth claims him as an old time
resident and he is well-known through
out this part OF the State. He visited
Wadsworth a few weeks ago intending
to purchase property here and make this
section his home but the deal could not
be made. He told John Lee and VIM.
Donaldson at that time that he was not
feeling very well and was afflicted with
bad cold. The day before he left for
for Elko he inspected the Fellnagle ranch
with the reporter, travelling on foot for
half day through the sodden snow and
wading through water, and it probably
hastened his death.
"Bud" was hard, earnest worker, a
good trader, and man of spotless rep
utation. The news of his death was a
great surprise here and was heard by
his old friends with great sorrow.

The Ernst Bill.

The bill introduced in the State Sem
ate by George Ernst, which has for its
object the taking of the Union label
from all State printing, is menace to
organized labor in Nevada, and if it
meets its just desserts. it may receive
one vote-that of the man who intro
duced the measure. Senator Ernst is
not the friend OF labor, and when he is
pointed OFT to inquirers as the sleek,
round, well-fed, well-clothed individual
that he is, people will cease to wonder
that he should be the only Nevadan at
Carson to whom such thought should
occur. The laboring printer is worth
his hire the same as any other labor, r
and the State Printing Office is run as
we'll and as economically today as it
ever was run in the past. The legisla-
ton proposed by Senator Ernst could
result in no good and very much har n.
If the Silver Party fathers the response
bility of taking a stand against the
Union it can take the consequences also.
We hope, however, that no Republican
representative will vote for it and that
each and every one OF them will opp ose
it to the very best OF their ability.
