and swellings. Trib does not blister.
JAS Townsend, the well-known Ne
vada humorist and newspaper man,
died August 10th, at the home of his
brother at Lake Forrest, Ill.
According to a report from Bonner
Lake, a catfish crawled out of the
Truekee river the other day with tin
cup in his mouth. He was looking for
drink. If this thing keeps up Won
Schmidt's scheme to tap Lake Tahoe
will have to be abandoned.
One of the most instructive and in
teresting entertainments now touring
the State is Prof Montague's wonder
fully trained Australian cockatoos.
The show is highly spoken of all along
the line, as something marvellous in
the way of bird education, and is, in
fact, bird hippodrome and circus
combined. We advise every one to
see these birds at Valhalla Hall to-
night and tomorrow night. Matinee
Saturday afternoon at 2:30.
1t was remarked in town yesterday
that it is probable that when candi-
dates for Office in this county desire to
have their political aspirations gener-
ally known they will publish their
respective announcements over their
own signatures. Thus men who have
no political aspirations will not be ac-
cused of desire to run for office, and
will be permitted to look after their
business interests undisturbed by the
roar of politics.
A. @. Pratt passed through Gardner
vile Saturday last on his way to the
Par Value Mine, is miles west of Bridge
port, where his company have the
contract to install cotton Ideal Stamp
mill, with water power, rockbreaker,
concentrates, etc. The contract is to
have the mill in operation on or before
the 18th of next month. If he succeeds
in completing plant of that size in
the time specified he will have broken
the record; but the COURIER predicts
that Pratt will not be far behind when
the time arrives to start the machinery.
This is the company that purchased
the first experimental Ideal mill, built
in Carson about year ago.
A family jar at Genoa last Monday
separated Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Hawk
ms, who have lived together great
many years and raised large family
of children. No one was seriously
hurt in the melee although the atmos-
phere was extremely torpid for a
while, and a friendly neighbor who
rushed to the scene at the urgent re-
quest of the children, received blow
in the face from a dubbed rife in the
hands of the angry husband. Mrs.
Hawkins shook the dust of the home
stead from her feet and, taking one of
the children with her, took up her
abode at the house of neighbor. The
affair is deplored by the friends of the
couple in Genoa and vicinity where
they have resided a great many years
and are held in high esteem.
