In Genoa

Yesterday in Genoa before Judge

sen VS. Jensen, was taken up. On
motion for alimony and expenses
made by the plaintiff, Mrs. Jensen,
the Court ordered the payment Of
5000 as lump sum, to begin wltns
and further arguments will be heard
for the fixing of a regular allowance

One of the active reasons for the
order of the payment of the provis
ional sum was the statement that
Mrs. Jensen, the plaintiff. had given
birth to a child in Reno on the pre-;
vious day.
The complaint in the case alleged
cruelty, and it was stated that at the
time OF filing it that the cruelty was
greatly aggravated by her condition.

ed before Judge Langan that he was
employed as bank clerk and receiv-
ed but SIS per month.

pensive furnishings in those days.
Then beyond the bar would be a
broad fight of steps heavily earpeted.
There was never more than three
or iour steps and they led up to the
broad expanse where the gaming ia

These steps and the vista Of the ele.

somehow an impression oi magnltl

But the funny thing was that thist
wonderful front, as the gambler
would put il, was purely accidental
When gambling was at its height
aighly moral legislature passed a law
that no licensed gambling should be
permitted on the Main floor of any
building. So as soon as the law was
passed every gambling place in Ne

bar and installed its loyout on this
elevated platform. thereby complying

SNOWSHOE THOMPSON'S
RELICS ARE SHIPPED
Famous Runners go to Decorate
a California Home

I are relic worth having in any one 5
home.
That Thompson was an adept in
riding the shoes goes without say
/ ing, and it is matter OF record in
Alpine County. where At one time
while riding down a rough, steep
| rrg-mtain side he made a clear jump
oi 50 feet with the snowshoes.
After the railroads were III run

Crt ttock and other camps by rail
and last service, the terror OF the
winter departed Thompson was out
of i job The long shoes we're hung
up and only used for pro pccting or
other work that he could place them
To- lie carried some messages to
the camps of Marklccville Silver
Mountain, Monitor and other snow
bound regions. but the big contract
was over.
During one Of his trips from Silver
Mountain to his home in Diamond
Valley Thompson discovered what
appeared to be very rich deposit of
silver and gold He said little to any
one about it, Snow was on the ground
and he was quietly making trips to
the place The last trip he made to
The ground ne worked until he was
nearly exhausted. and on reaching
home developed a cold 'Lhis was
followed hy pneumonia. Thompson
realized that he could not live. He
called his vile to him and as best he
could described the location Of the
ground to her Just before he died
lie pointed ont oi the window to a
place toward Silver Mountain and
told his wife that if she could go
there in the summer She would find
where he had worked and there W.
a fo, tune for her ia sight. This was
his estate
Thompson died His widow Ell
dcavored in quiet way TO locate the
rich property, without success. Sam
pies Oi the ore were found ~ the cab
in. and her description was handed
down TO neighbors and Others. Since
that time hundreds OF men have worn
out boot leather seeking the treasure
house that Snowshoe Thompson dis
covered before he died in the little
cabin in Diamond Valley
Every summer some enthusiastic
prospector comes to this city with
the story that he has found Ihomp
sons lost mine, but like the descrip-
tion given by the dying man-lt van
ishes like the phanotm OF the mirage
The real relic OF the past is the pair
of shoes that are being sent over the
hill They are the real article and
performed a duty that went into the
early history of this city and the
Comstock and the fortunes of Alpine.
