Nearly the whole town OF Elko was
out last night to welcome the high
school boys ON their return from Win
ucc A big bonfire blazed and
bombs and fire crackers popped as the
train rolled in. when the boys stepped
from the cars. they were given n rous-
ing cheer that made them feel good.
The boys were escorted to the fire by
the high school boys and girls, who
sang school songs and otherwise showed
their appreciation Of the work done at
Winnemuccn by the ir scLoolmates.
After some time spent around the fire
the crowd dispersed with nothing but
kindly thoughts toward the boys who
had so gullantly upheld the honor Of
the Elko county high school in the foot
ball and debating contests at Winnie
mucca.
While the INDEPENDENT is proud ~
the work done by the high school team
il urgesthe boys To greater effort in the
future. Their defeat in the debating
contest should not discourage them.
Great armies have won spler did victor
les after suffering terrible defeats.
So it will be with the boys OF the high
school il they make the proper use Of
their energies in the future.
All honor to you, boys and girls Of the
Elko county high school.

Gently discovered q mistake the fright
ened settlers OF the Wyoming valley
made in 177S, when, after. the mas
sacre, they returned to the valley and
erected grayestone over the spot
where the two settlers first killed by
the tories and Indians under Butler
were buried. It was found that the
gravestone which marked the spot
was some distance from where the
bodies were buried.
These men, Benjamin and Stuk1ey
Harding. had gone to work in the
fields above Wyoming in what is now
Exeter borough. They were attacked
and killed by the Indians on June 80,
177S. The next day a party of men
from Fort Wyoming buried the bodies.
The following day the massacre DC.
CURED. and r. was some weeks after.
ward when the survivors, returning to
the valley, erected a gravestone over
where they believed the bodies to be
buried. On 1t was the inscription,
which can be deciphered to this day,
Sweet be the sleep Of those who pre-.
ferred death to slavery" In time
other graves were dug about this head
stonesan q fence was erected.
A lineman digging in the road near
the fence for pole found several
bones and two skulls. These lay par.
