Joseph Holland, hearing of the rich |
strike which had been made on that
part of the Trade Dollar Extension |
property which had formerly belonged |
to him, came over from his Haley
home Wednesday, just to take look
at the vein which had eluded his search |
for so many years He has not yet ex-
planned why he had never thought of
prospecting just there to f1nd it. Mr..
Holland says that all the former Owy-
hee people now residing at HALEY are
well and prospering.
Miss Alice Connors, only daughter
of Mrs. Sam Drollinger, was taken sud-
denly and violently i'll, last Friday,
with appendicitis. Her snfferings we're
extreme and Dr.s Woodward and Far
rer decided that her condition was too
critical to permit of her removal to
Boise or to have an operation per-
formed here, and treated her case ac-
cordingly- Happily she is now much
better and in a fair way to recovery
Miss Alice. who is an especial favorite
here on account of her bright and win
some manner, was to have started for
Portland, Tuesday, to resume her
studies at st. Mary's school, which she
attended last year.
Mrs. Fred Crete. mother of Mis-. S.
| N. Moe of Caldwell, who has been vis-
iting her parents for several weeks,

Mrs. Branch Smith, who was presented
with fine cut glass dish; second, Mrs.
j. M. Brunzell, who received fancy

got something tied in dainty hand
kerchief for the BOBBY prize. The win

prizes to the guest in whose honor the

was served. 1t was pleasant social
gathering.
The people of Tonopah and Gold
field, Ney., may hereby be put wise
against party starting from here with
the intention of swooping down upon
them bye and bye. Messrs. Marcus
White, Tom Harland, Billy Lacharity
and John Stout, quartet of good fell
lows with hearts in them as big and
warm as a Nevada desert, left here
Tuesday with team and camp and
hunting equipments, for an overland
trip to that gold mines Mecca They
started by the way of Duck valley and
Tuscarora, and have of course planned
out their route. They are all cd
miners and Mr.. White is an accom-
plished metalurgist and mining en-
gineer. If they don't strike something
good before reaching their. destination,
Tonopah may look for them-after a
while.
Jes' to try the sheriff and have lit
tie fun, the sports opened a little game
of stud poker in one of the thirst stu
dios, Labor Day night. They wer'n't
playin' for nothin', jes' chips. If any
money was paid for them it didn't go
into the Dealers table drawer, but into
his pocket. But the boys found that
Deputy Sheriff ST Tullis was Johnny
on-the-Spot. While discussing the
question of calling $4 bet the dealer
heard Sis gentle voice saying quietly,
You'd better cash them chips and all
go along with me.n The dealer looked
up, pulled out the table drawer and
said, cash them yourself; we aint
playin' for nothin'.n Then the gang
there were nine of them-rose up and
went With 81 across the street to the
sheriff, and the sheriff and prosecuting
attorney parolled the bunch until
morning. In the morning, there being
no evidence that they we're really gam
bling, the sheriff told them all to go.
The incident taught them that gam
bling will not go in this town during
the incumbency of the present prose-
cutting attorney, no more than with
jerome in New York or Folk in st
Louis.
