SAN FRANCISCO
BANK WANTS MONEY
FROM COUNTY
OID NYE AND 0RlfSBY COUNTY
BANK NOTE PRESENTED TO
COMMISSIONERS

Nothing doing was the unan-
imous decision of County Commits
sioners Sam F. Lindsay and W. 7.
Cuddy yesterday when a note for
$74S5.05, formerly held. by the Nye
and Ormsby County bank, was pre-
scented for payment.
The commissioners secured the
above sum from the bank on De
cember Z, 1908, with interest at u
per cent? per annum The local in
stitution, now defunct. transferred
the note to the First National bank
of Goldfeld, which in turn endorsed
it over to the American National
bank Of San Francisco. Yesterday
the note was received by the Nevada
First National bank, with a letter
asking that it be presented to the
commissioners for payment.
This is the self-same note which
the county commissioners. rendered
check to redeem prior to the clos
ing of the bank. The cashier at the
bank stated that the note was in
Carson but would be returned in 4
few days. Incesant demands were
made for the note and each time
the bank officials stated that it
would be returned shortly. After
the bank closed its doors it was
| learned that the note had been n.y.
! pothecated to the First National
bank of San Francisco, and all the
time had been in the keeping of that
/ institution, instead of in Carson
The hypothecating was done at the
order of Frank Golden, who after.
wards stated that the notes would
be turned over to Nye county il
George Hall was appointed receiver
of the defunct bank. Hall was ap
pointed but the notes have never
been turned over and there is ;
likelihood that they never will b.
voluntarily.
The board contends that as tn
Nye and Ormsby County bank hal
: on deposit some 100000 of tn
: county's money at the time tn
, doors were closed, the banks in
t debtedness to the county is off-se
by the notes.
r 1t is not known what action tn
: San Francisco institution will TAX
t in an endeavor to recover the fac
: value of the note, but it is prof.
able that legal proceedings will re
i suit.

things to put before the public, yes

Fitting TRIBUTE
PAID BY ELKS TO
ABSENT MEMBERS
IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL DAY TX
ERCISES CONDUCTED sun
DAY AFTERNOON

For time Sunday afternoon it
appeared that the elements had con-
spired in an attempt to keep the |
people away from the Elks memorial
services at the Nevada opera house,
but shortly before the members OF
the lodge started to march from
the club rooms of the order to the
opera house, the snow ceased to
fall and even Old Sol emerged from
his hiding place and smiled acquies-
cence to the occasion.
Had the snow continued to fall,
it is doubtful if the inclemency of
the weather would have had any eff
feet in keeping the Tonopah people
within doors, for when the services
started the interior of the theatre
was filled to overlooking. A corps
of ushers, members of the Elks,
were on hand and there was no de-
lay in securing seats.
A very pretty and also impressive
feature of the affair was the opening
ceremonies, conducted with Acting
Exalted Ruler j. j. Owens presid
ing. The ritualistic part of the pro-
gram was indeed solemn and in
keeping with the sadness of the oc-
casion.
Since the inception of Tonopah
lodge No. 1862, death has made no
inroads on the membership of the
order, and when the presiding officer
ordered the secretary to call the
roll of the honored dead, ]. A.
Digges responded as follows:
1.-The grim reaper has not yet in
For this blessing we are truly CRATE
full to the Grand Exalted Ruler of
the universe. May the first sum-
mons be long delayed"
The eulogy was rendered by Sher-
iff j. j. Owens and in the address
the speaker referred to the binding
ties of the order, not only in life
but in death. The sheriff was nevel
more eloquent and it was early ap
parent that he was voicing his in
nermost sentiments. 1t was TIL
unanimous sentiment of all presen
that the eulogy delivered by Actin
Exalted Ruler j. ]. owens had neve
been equalled in Nevada. The 30
nanza is sorry, space forbids that
cannot reproduce his eulogy verba
tim.
Judge r. L. Hubbard of Goldfiel
delivered the Grafton. He gave
very thoughtful address, appropriate
to the solemn occasion. Judge HUI
bard declared that in view of tn
purposes and aspirations of the OF
der he considered that he was
natural Elk. Declaring that he be
lieved' usefulness to humanity a
the great purpose of creation, h
expressed the hope that in som
form or other he might be use
many times throughout the ages {
eternity for the amelioration of hi
human happiness, and in this d.
sire he thought he expressed til
will of every good Elk.
Mrs. P. E. Keeler was exceeding
pleasing with her vocal selection
ooh, Dry Those Tears" She WI
accompanied by Miss Mae Kin
Frank P. Mannix is no mean e
tertainer himself and his renditiC
of "Thanatopsis" proved a surpri
to the gathering. A special stai
setting was used for this portion
the program.
The musical program as render
was very beautiful and was appre,
ated by the audience.
In keeping with the object of t
affair, the stage had been decorat
with the colors of the order and t
American flag in the background
relief of huge elk's head.
