and ginger, being chiefly alcohol, gives
tho mixture zest and flavor that old
topers say is about the finest ever.
Besides, tho drink gets real action
right away. Two good drinks will
make man feel real funny and cute,
three will cause him to rob his own
trunk, and five are calculated to make
him prefer II bed Of shucks in the

Death OF Mrs. ReinleldI

Death, the harvester, has again visited
this community and one of it's prominent
young women have answered the call.
AT quarter tO u o'clock last evening,
Mrs. f. j. Reinfeldt, known To our peo-
pie from her early childhood rs Miss
Lilly Fee, passed the portals of the un-
seen world.
Mrs. Reinfeldt was born ut Butler,
Missouri, August II. 1899. She came
to this county when five years old and
lived few years with her mother in
Lamoille valley, but most of her life
was passed in Elko. She attended the
public school and completed the first
year of the high school course and be.
gan the second year. but was com.
PEELED to discontinue her school work on
account of her health.
On March 10Th of this year she was
married to Mr.. f. J. Reinfcldt, who
survives her. She was taken sick on
the 1th of July, but seemed to recover
from the attack and was around until
the l2th, when she was again taken
sick. Since then she had the best of care
and attention. but her disease was too
deep seated to yield to medical Skill
combined with tender nursing and low
ing care. Under the treatment of DIR.
Eby, she made Il brave fight for life, but
the odds were too great as3aiua- her.
The death of this splendid young
woman is inexprcssibly sad. Last
winter she joined tine Presbyterian
church and she then gave promises of II
long and useful life. In March, she
became the bride of the man of her
choice. The world to her looked bright
and rosy then. Little did she or her
friends think that in less than five
months she would bc sleeping with the
countless millioes, that have gone
before.
She has gone from us, hut her voice
from the other side brings, this message
to those who mourn: "Mourn not for
me. Free from pain and trouble my
weary spirit is ut rest in the arms of my
loving Savior. Weep not for me-"
A mother, step.father, Mr.. s. C.
Shirley. II husband and one brother,
Oliver, all of whom were ut her bedside
when the curtain dropped on her young
life. survive her. They have the sincere
sympathy of the entire community in
their bereavement. May God comfort
and console them in their great sorrow.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances
are respectfully requested to attend.

Seldom II week or Il day passed but
immigrants and mail carriers were
killed along this routc. In the fall of
1859 troop of cavalry was dispatched
from the westward to cross the state
along this trail and teach the Indians n
wholesome lesson. The troop WAS
under command Of Colonel Steptoe.
who had been on the frontier some
time, and whose opinion was that the
only good Indians were dead ones.
The command arrived at the stage
! station at Egun Pass i'll the evening,
and found that the two stock tenders
had been killed. the station plundered
and the stock run off. Without stop.
ping the Colonel took mp the trail and
ut daybreak OH the following murning
located the Indians at Hercules Gap,
on the west side of the valley few
miles from the present location of the
slnelter. This gap is II narrow canyon
which cuts off the southern point of the
mountain.
AS soon rs the commander was sure
of the location Of the Indians, he
divided his troops and sat a part Of
them around the mountain to the east
ern outlet of the pass, with orders to
advance through tho pass. When the
attack was made from the eastern end
of the pass the Indians fled to the west.
only to be met by the soldiers who
occupied advantageous positions, and
moved them down as they came. The
walls OF the pass were so PERCEPTIONS rs
to prevent escape, and all were slaugh-
tered with the exception of one who
several days afterward, made his
appearance mt Dave McQuiddy's ranch,
now known rs Georgetown. and asked
for food. He waI in furnishing con-
dition, but was succored, and remained
on the ranch for many years. This
Indian later became known rs Dave
McQuiddy and was trustworthy and
reliable i'll every respect. He passed to
tho happy hunting ground" OH ranch
in the eastern part of this county about
a year ago.
In all thero wero eighty.two Indians
killed in Hercules Gap, where their
skulls and skeletons can yet be found.
This massacre was n lesson to the In.

tasmina worked up to the point at
which he usually enters the ring.
Hyland has been training faithfully
for month. Dick did a good deal OF
work with Hugo Kelly. and in all his
workouts with the Italian he showed
rare form.
Jack Grace. who will have charge oil

ing that the Battler would be fit as q

He will do a deal of boxing with rough
opponents from now until a day or two

ball game OF the season last Sunday

The game was very exciting. The Jun

The Griffith people have looked forward
to a strong team supporting the White
Caps but the outlook is very poor al

of Cavanaugh, refereed the game. with
satisfaction to both teams. He spoke
very highly of the fine playing of the
Juniors
