ENJOYED The
FIRST CHRISTMAS
IN TONOPAH
THREE OF THE ORIGINAL OLD
TIMERS CONTINUE TO
RESIDE HERE

Eleven years ago tomorrow, the
camp of Tonopah, then known as
Butler, contained approximately
twenty-five inhabitants. The first
Christmas was not joyous affair,
for delicacies were unknown and
the common means of subsistence
consisted principally of beans, bacon
and occasionally little whisky.
The day before Christmas there was
not a drop of whisky in the camp
but that evening two teams, loaded
with the first supplies for the 10th
rop & Davis store, arrived and in
the consignment were several cases
of firewater. 1t was the real fire.
water at that, and before long every
man in the camp was supplied with
one or two of the quart bottles. In
bunch dined on the bottle and every
resident of the camp joined in the,
celebration.
Today, out of the original bunch,
but three are in Tonopah and to-
morrow afternoon it is possible that
the three will meet in front of some
polished bar, and over a quiet glass
recount the experiences of the old
days when the camp was young.
The three are Dick Davis, w. j.
Sinclair and Eli Schweiger And of
this number Dick Davis enjoys the
distinction of having spent every
following Christmas in Tonopah, a
custom he desires to follow to the
end of his days.
The others who were present on
the first celebration were Governor
elect T. l.. Oddie, S. A. Knapp,
Shaef Hanger, Robert Stewart. Eu-
gene Grassi, Jeff Ketting, Harry
Ramsey, Dan Fitzpatrick, Sam Case,
Gilbert and Thompson. Steve Pow
ers, Matt Devine, William Marsh,

tphrey, Dad Gleason, Harry Bonner,
and probably one or two others. OF

GIVES REASONS
CONTESTING SEAT
IN LEGISLATURE
BRANCH H. SMITH FILES CON.
TEST ON THE ADVICE OF
FELLOW WORKERS

In last evenings Bonanza it was
stated that Branch H. Smith would
contest the seat of d. j. Fitzgerald
in the Nevada legislature, and in
reply Mr.. Smith has addressed the
following letter to this paper, ex-
planning his side of the story:
Editor Tonopah Bonanza
Dear Sir:-Having read an ac-
count with reference to my contest
ing the seat of D. j. Fitzgerald in
the coming assembly, | desire to
state that I filed my petition in re
contest at the solicitation and upon
the advice of my fellow workers;
hence ! venture to suggest that the
second paragraph of the mentioned
article is somewhat erroneous.
wherein it states:
1T is the concensus of opinion of
those in a position to know that
should recount take place it will
be to the advantage of Henry G.
Schmidt, for it is more than likely
that Smith received credit for votes
cast for the first named person."
The opinion of those with whom
the undersigned conversed is quite
the contrary. However, the ballots
are the best evidence, notwithstand-
ing the "concensus of opinion of
those who know"
According to my Interpretation of
the law with reference to contests
of assemblymen, and l believe | un-
derstand it in this particular in
stance, this contest affects no one
except Mr.. Fitzgerald and myself; !;
therefore the nosing in or out of
any other individual for seventh
|place is entirely out of the ques-
ton.
In conclusion, | desire to state
that this contest was instituted sole
ly upon my rights as a citizen, and
duty | owe to the S57 recorded
voters who bestowed their suffrage
upon me. My petition does not,
nor will this contest reflect upon
the integrity of my opponent, or
any of the clerks of the recent cleo
ton. 1t is strictly a business prop
osition, and if upon true and
correct count it is found that | was
legally elected, I desire the honor of
again representing the taxpayers of
Nye county at the coming session
On the contrary, if recount does
not result in my favor, | shall glad
ly congratulate my opponent.
BRANCH H. SMITH.
