RECEIVER REYNOLDS
SELLS BANK STOCK

Last Thursday Judge Breen
ordered Receiver Reynolds to sell
455 shares of the First National
Bank of Elko to Frank Gedney for
the sum of $4,000 cash, or at the
rate of $50 per share. The COM
ptroller of the currency has ordered
an assessment ON the capital stock
of the First National Bank, suffici-
ent sum per share to make good its
capital stock. 1t is estimated that
this assessment will be $40 per share.
If the assessment is less than $40
per share, Mr.. Gedney agrees to pay
the difference between the as
sessment and $40.
The stock ordered sold belonged
to Oscar j., Bert L. and Minnie D.
Smith and it was held by the Eureka
County Bank as security for some
Of the loans made to the Smiths by
that bank. The stock was attached
by the First National Bank, but
under the terms of the sale to Mr..
Gedney the attachment is released.

The American Vocabulary.

The Americans Of the lowest intel.
lectual class probably use more words
to express their ideas than the similar
class OF any other people; but this
prodjgality OF words is partially bal.
anced by the parsImony OF words in
some higher regions. in which a few
phrases OF current slang are made to
do the whole duty Of exchange iot
ideas; II that can be called exchange
of ideas when one intellect flashes
forth to another the remark, concern
