game is TO be played. the ground has
been looked at and found suitable.
This was big job and took lot OF
careful effort.
George Sanford went down to Reno
yesterday and came back this morn
ing with a lot of bulky PACKAGES so
that it is almost cinch that he has
annexed base ball suit OF some de-
scription or other. 1t is also reported
that some Carson City Eiks went
down to the Elks Home and swiped
the suit that Frank Nicholas wore
when he was initiated as an Elk and
that he is to wear il tomorrow. IL
he does there will be a sensation.

City will be here, as will another
from Gardnerville and Mnden. Both
these delegations will carry chal

fined for contempt in taking up the

ease without prejudice.
