Reno Beat ElkO

The game of basketball between the
Reno and Elko teams Saturday after
noon resulted in a decisive victory for
the Reno team. The Elko girls did their
best, but it was plainly evident from
the start that they were outclassed.
At the end of the first half, the score
stood thirteen to two in favor of Reno.
In the second half, the Ellko girls warm
ed up to their work and made six points
to the Reno girls two, leaving the final
score fifteen to eight in favor of Reno.
Seven of the points made by Elko stand
to the credit of Miss Martha Noble.
The game was good natured test of
skill throughout and nothing occurred to
mar the good feeling existing between
the teams. The girls took their defeat
gracefully and not a trifle of. bitterness
lurked ir their hearts against the victors.
Miss Evans the coach of the Reno
team, refereed the game and her decis-
ions were fair and just. She held the
scales evenly and neither team had any
complaint to make of her work.
Saturday night the visitors attended
the social given by the Guild at Leonard
hall, and had the best there was going.
Sunday they were given drive to Mr.
Dewar's ranch east of town and had
lunch. They returned to town about
B o'clock in the afternoon and took No.
5 last night for home.
They left Elko in good spirits and
well satisfied with the treatment they
had received. The INDEPENDENT con-
graduates the Reno girls on their victory
and hopes they will visit us again.
The Elko girls have no reason to be
downcast over the result of the game
Each and all of them did their best and,
though defeated, they are still our girls
This defeat should only nerve them to
better efforts in the future. You are all
right, girls.

Winnemucca Defeats EIkO

The game of base ball at Win
nemucca yesterday between the team
of that town and the Elko team
resulted in victory for Winnemucca
by score Of 8 to2. The first inning
was a whitewash for both teams. In
the second inning Winnemucca made
one tally and EllSo gathered another
goose egg In the third, Elko made
two TALES and Winnemucca got goose
egg. In the fourth, Winnemucca made
another tally and Elko took the goose
egg. This left the teams with two
TALES each. a..
The game stood this way until the
seventh inning when Winnemucca
rolled up six tallies to Elko none. The
eighth inning was whitewash for both
teams. In the ninth, Winnemucce
scored one tally and Ell1o failed to score,
leaving the score stand, nine to two
in favor of Winnemucca.
! The Elko boys speak highly of the
treatment given them and hope to wipe
out the defeat next Sunday, when the
return game is played. They will show
the Winnemuccans how to play ball
and will also do their best to make their
stay pleasant.

It was an honorable title. Buffalo had
long been in the grip of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians.
Grown arrogant from power and rich
from graft, they had come to regard
rule wholly to their interest as a
settled right. Mayor Cleveland dis
abused their minds. Raids on the
treasury were blocked by his veto.
Omceholders were warned that their
allegiance was due the people. Claims
of friendship and the pressure of pow
erful influence were without effect up
on him. His sturdy fights in the inter-
est of his employer" were widely pub
lished and attracted attention through
out the state.
Governor Of New York.
So it happened that when the Dem
ocrats in 1882 cast about for can.
didate for governor their eye .natur-
ally turned toward Buffalo. Grover
Cleveland was placed at the head of
their ticket He was elected over
Charles J. Folger, then secretary of
the treasury, by 100000 plurality.
Cleveland's record as mayor and his
overwhelming victory in the election
made him a national figure. There was
widespread curiosity as to the course
he would pursue as governor. He
gained new celebrity through his We
toes. He refrained from discourses
on public affairs and framed no theory

tice of law. He also maintained a
keen interest in politics. In 1866 he
was chairman of the county commit
tee. He had few intimate friends,
but was favored by strong follow
ing of men attracted by his power of
leadership. In 1870 he was elected
sheriff and filed the Office for three
years.
Then he returned to law. Success
was gained by hard, faithful work. He
had never been accused of being bril-
liant, but he was thorough, and gained
by conscientious digging the victory
that came to others by so-called gen.
ius.
In 1881 he was elected mayor of Buff
falO, as a Democrat, by a plurality
of $500. The candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket carried the city by
1000. After the election Cleveland
said in letter to his brother that he
proposed to stand in the relation of an
employe to the people of the city. His
one aim would be to render faithful
service to his employer.
In carrying out this resolution he
became known as the veto mayor"

Cleveland's message was prepared.
The Olney note was drafted after a
consultation between the secretary of
state and Mr.. Cleveland during the
summer at Great Gables on Buzzard' s
bay. Mr.. Olney went there to confer
with the president about the Venezue-
Ian question. The note was submitted
to every member of the cabinet.
War Was Not Feared.
