The system of carrying mail to

The next day it was again started
on its journeylvis Genoa. 1t reach
ed its destination, less than three
miles from it's starting point, after
enroute some As hours. Had the
letter been addressed to San

delivered sooner.
Until such time as tho govern

ommend that all the depositors of

and the State Bank and Trust
Company sign the agreement al
lowing the banks three, six, nine
and twelve months to pay them.
The bank examiner 3states that
both institutions are solvent and
able to meet all creditors of the in
stitution ifIallowed time. The re-
port shows that at the present time
the Nye and Ormsby county bank
has something over $4,000 cash
on hand in its various institutions
and that the deposits amount to
about $l,606,000. The resources
and liabilities show that the bank
now shows assests which total some
thing like 100000 greater than all
liabilities and before the bank
could be considered bankrupt it
would have to lose this amount.
The report which was given out
Wednesday to the public for the
first time, Immediately after the
meeting, the total resources and
liabilities OF the Nye ond Ormsby
was set forth.
The examiners report on the
State Bank and Trust company

Indians Hold d
Bio Pow
Wow.

Every fall and shortly after tho
appearance of the first real cold
weather, the Indians hold their
annual rabbit drive and the long
cared Inhabitants of the sagsbrush
fats are slaughtered in large num-
bers. The meat is dried and that,
with bread made from pinenuts,
comprise the chief diet of the alb
origines during the winter sea-
son. This year the rabbits are
more numerous than they
have been for several seasons. A
Zig slaughter was effected and as
a consequence a big dance WAS
held Saturday night. After the
young bucks and squaws and
danced about the fire chanting
their queer dialect until they sank
to the ground from exhaustion,
Captain Jim, chief OF the Washoes
for the past fifty years, took his
position in front of the young
warriors, and in a high pitched
voice denounced "Pets Mayo"
as an adventurer after a title that
had been handed down to
him from his fathers father. He
wound up by asking his tribesmen
if they would stand by him or the
intruder. The Indians jumped to
their feet and yelled "bushai!
bushaiw which means "for ysu,
for you" This greatly delighted
the old chief and when approached
by our reporter few moments later
he was in very happy mood.
We did not know just what ques-
tion to ask him first but as all big
men were giving their opinion Oh
financial question, we thought that
the chief might offer some sug-
gestion, 50 after being seated We
quizzsd him on:thelmoney business.
He meditated a moment and then
said: "plsnty good; young buck
make hay all summer for white
man, catch 'um 81 all day. Now
he hunt 'em rabbit, shot plenty.
Rabbit belly fat. Now injun eat
heap lots and play card like HI.
The reporter then asked him if he
liked paper money to which he
answered: Paper money all
same: no can eat 'em." We then
started to leave and the old chief
exclaimed, "Teddy Loosvelt damn
good chief" and the old withered
Indian motioned young buck to
stir up the fire which probably
meant to "turn on the light" We
made our escape from his presence
like Santa Claus up chimney.

and opposite Carrara marble nantes and watch
the mice play upon the floor. Dave thought to
live by writing fiction. Now and then he sold a
story. He submitted many to Westbrook. The
Minerva printed one two of them; the rest were
returned. Westbrook sent a careful and conscien-

pointing out in detail his reasons for considering
it unavailable. Editor Westbrook had his own
clear conception of what constituted good fiction.
So had Dave. Mrs. Dave was mainly concerned
about the constituents of the scanty dishes of food
that she managed to scrape together. One day
Dave had been spouting to her about the excel
lencies of certain French writer's. At dinner they
sat down to dish that hungry schoolboy could
have encompassed at gulp. Dave commented.
