terday at the rooms of Mrs. Thomas
Hunter and Mrs. NJ. H. Wallace at the

trouble, which news viii be gladly re-
ceived by her many Elko friends. Mrs.

the pleasure OF also meeting Mrs. Keith

face around the Russ House on Mont
gomery street. He is always pleased II

rel. Uncle Dick recently had IA cancer
removed from his lips but has now en-.
tirely recovered from the treatment and

When yon want to locate Mr.. S. &.
Weston, just find where the horses are
racing and he is never far away. He
says he likes TO see the horses run, but
thinks they travel faster when he has n
few dollars ON his choice. He is still
ahead OF the game, however, which goes
to show ne knows something about
horsefi ash. Mrs. Weston arrived from
Reno this eTening, where she has been
visiting friends since her departure from
EIko. They are stopping at the St.
