Lucky Ssvesie

Because John, the Swede, was of
an acrCoatic turn of mind and good
sprinter, he is richer today by $500
than he might have been.
John, the Swede,' is a laborer em-
ployed on the Miller & Lux ranch north
of Yerington. He is frugal fellow.
due to which fact he managed to ac-
cumulate snug sum. But there are
others who get money in other fashions,
not as polite, perhaps, but great deal
more easy.
For several days two unknown men
canped ON the Miller & Lux ranch and
on the trail of John. One evening this
week the two strangers stood the hired
hands up or rather made them sit on a
bench in one of the cabins using six
shooters as persuaders. Joe O'Keefe, also
an employc, was requested to 'frisk =
the bunch, while the liold-ups gave or
ders. Joe is an obliging fellow and
politely did as he was bid. John was
seated in front Of window and before
Joe could take an inventory of his po-
sessions. the "Swede' executed back
flip and landed on the outside, having
come through the window, and made to
Yerington, distance of FIVE miles in
record time. With lin, he carried his
$500, which he deposited in tile bank.

Birthday 2zgquet

Angus Mcleod, perhaps the oldest
settler III Mason valley, was rendered a
banquet at the Commercial hotel last
evening by G. I. Moore OF the Mason
Valley company Mr.. Moore and Mr.
Mcleod hail from the same State, Ark
ansas. and their birthdays fall on the
same day, October Is 1t was in COM
memoration of these notable events that
MIR. Moore remembered his friends and
a few other choice selections of the hu-
man family in Yerington. Those seated
at the table were: Angus Mcleod. G..
r. Moore and J. Dixon of the Mason
Valley, E. T. Campbell of the Kennedy
Consolidated, George Pringle Of the
Commercial hotel, Mr.. Grafan, an east
ern capitalist. Mark s. Lewis. superin-
tendent of the Goldfeld, Nevada, Min
ing, Milling and Smelling company, at
this place, and o. f. Lewis and X. Leslie
SMALL of the Times.
Mr.. Mark S. Lewis acted as toast
master, and in that strenuous position
covered himself with glory. Each gem
tleman present responded to toast,
each of which was received with APP
plause. Lack of space forbids detailed
description of the different little talks.
Those of Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Mcleod
were particularly strong. The former
spoke of the leading events of the day in
a most humorous vein. while Mr. Nc
Leod dwelt upon his residence in Mason
valley, and recalled many incidents that
were not only entertaining but edifying
in SO far as they were connected with the
history of Nevada
The Times trusts that both Mr. Moore
and Mr.. Mcleod will live to see many
more birthdays and that each year added
to their life's journey will be fraugtit
with as much pleasure as October Is, 1907.

It's wise man as we'll as a good
farmer who fights weeds when they
are small
Farm implements in operation
should be examined in every part at
least once day and the nuts thor

Attach the wrench to the plow or
other implement with good strap
or wire. Many wrenches are lost be-
cause they are not properly attached
or not even fastened at all.
How about sowing some rape? It
will come in pretty handy along about
July and August. Five pounds of seed
