necks of the four men executed at
Carson were dislocated. Even hang
ing has its drawbacks.
Prospecting outfits are leaving Bull
frog and Rhyolite daily for the Funer-
al and Panamint mountain ranges
The temperature il those ranges at
this season is about the average of
that in the region in midsummer.
Old 1905 will Don be history. In
many respects it has been a remark
able year, but like everything in this
life, it will come to a close. History
has been faster throughout the Union
this year than ever hefore. What has
the new year in store for US? We
must all wait and see.

The ice man goes about the street
And wears a look OF woe
In Old Soils rays there is no heat;
The mountains clad with snow.
The maj who but yesterday
Gave him the welcome smile,
Has now got ice to melt, and wears
A "horse laugh" all the while.
Two tons of Thanksgiving turkeys
were shipped out of Lovelock this
season, according to an estimate of
Tribune. AS to whether the Love
lockers saved any birds for home CON
sumption, or whether they bought
roast beef with turkey money, the
Tribune does not say. There's no
doubt however, but that the turkey
grower who got 25c a pound for his
birds had the best to be had at his
own celebration.
A dining car on No. 3. caught fire
near Lovelock Saturday night, and
by the time the train reached that
town and the car had been siietrack-
ed damage to the amount OF several
thousand dollars had been done. The
blaze is supposed to have caught from
the heater. The dishes and silver
ware were lost and one end of the car
totally destroyed. A Lovelock bucket
brigade extinguished the blaze.
The editor received n letter rom
our old friend Frank Muncey from
Denver a few days ago, in which he
states that Denver does not agree
with him, the altitude being too high,
which affects his head and also his
heart. He says that it is only a ques-
ton OF time before he will return to
Nevada and probably take up his resi-
dence. He wishes to be kindly remem-
bered to all his old friends through
out the county.
A great many people wonder what
will become of the country when they
die. They forget that other people
have lived and died and the country
has survived the shock. Ii a man is
rich when he dies, he is remembered
as long as his heirs keep his name be-
fore the public in contesting his will
II he is poor, his wife mourns his loss
until she finds a better II If he
dies young, a few people speculate as
to what he might have accomplished
had he lived longer. If he lives to be
old. his friends give a sigh of relief az
