On the 9TH day OF September, this
year, in accordance with a notice
calling for bids for the reconstruct
ion of the court house, the COM
mlssioners met at Genoa to exam
inc the bids. Two sealed bids were
filed before the expiration OF the
time named in the notice and one
after, the latter not being consider
ed at all. One of the sealed bids
was from George King, and nam
ing $16,99O as his price and was
accompanied by certified check
In the amount named in the notice.
The second bid was filed by Fried
hoff & Heffel, calling for less
amount. The firm name was
signed to the contract with a type
writer and other Irregularities in
validating the contract were de-
tected. Not wishing to act in
haste, the commissioners adjourn
ed for one week. On September
14th the commissioners met and
after carefully considering all
things, awarded the contract to
King. In their action the COM
missioners did nothing but what
will stand the acid test of the law,
this fact being we'll known to those
who yelled graft the loudest. As
stated above, the commissioners
as body were not assailed, but
one n lividual member of 1.-THE
board was singled out heaped with
false accusations.

Christmas Dance.

The young people of Genoa have
decided to give whooping big
dance on Friday evening, Decem-
Der 23rd and already are making
arrangements for the affair. They
have already engaged the Litchen-
berg orchestra, which fact alone
insures that the dance will have
a large attendance. Genoa has
always held reputation for her
dances and there will be no ex-
ception to the case. Further an
nouncement will appear later.

WERE MARRIED
THIS WEEK

It. is always a pleasure for a
newspaper to chronicle the mar
riage OF couple whose courtship
is closely woven into the daily and
social life of every community.
A kindly feeling exists among
their friends when cupid's pranks
begin and slowly draw two lives
together.
Wm. Maule and Miss Rose Todo
were married in Reno Wednesday
morning and departed for Cali
fornia on their honeymoon. The
marriage was strictly private.
The bride was accompanied to
Reno by her mother, there meeting
the groom, the ceremony being
performed by Father Tuban Of
the Catholic church.
The bride is the daughter and
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
III. A. N. Todd, well known and
respected residents vi Gardner

Stanford and Is we'll educated.

be pleased TO hear Of her marriage.

If there are any citizens or tax
payer who still believe that there
is any graft connected with the
building of the court house it Is
their duty to bring the matter to
the attention of the grand jury,
but before they place themselves
in an unenviabls position we
would suggest that they first go 10
the clerks Office in Genoa and
carefully examine the records we
are absolutely certain that they
will be convinced that no bigt er
falsehood was ever directed toward
an official of Douglas county.
The residents of Genoa are ex-
cesdingly jubilant that the court
house in all its splendor has risen
from the ashes of the recent dis
aster. Not one straw was laid in
the path by the East Forkers to
prevent Genoa from retaining the
court house. 1t would have taken
very little effort to have changed
the entire proceedings, but no one
is more satisfied with the location
of the court house than the Record
Courier, contrary to the reports
Notwithstanding.

WILL NELSON
CLAIMS BRIDE

1t requires the strictest secrecy
to keep close friends from getting
wise to wedding when two young
people wed, but VIM. Nelson and
Miss Emma Hussman had little
difficulty in battling their friends,
and Thanksgiving day when the
relatives of the pair made known
the marriage, the young couple
were speeding away as fast as a
train could carry them. Their
friends had been saving up old
shoes for year and to have the
bridal couple get away So easy was
somewhat of disappointment.
They were married by Rev.
Msnzel at the Lutheran parsonage
on Wednesday evening. Thanks
giving morning he was at the store
as usual, the clerks and members
of ithe firm never once guessing
that he was a benedict. He and
his bride took the afternoon motor
for California.
The bride is sister of the Huss-
man family and is one of the lmost
thought of little misses in this Val
ley. Since the death OF her parents
some years ago, she has been
little mother to her big brothers
and younger sister, thus endearing
herself into the hearts of every
o . who knows her.
Mr.. Nelson is one of the fore
most young business men of this
community, being ons of the firm
of the Meyers Mercantile company
with large merchandise bust
ness at Minden. He has sterling
character and the only bad habit
he possesses is his good nature.
With their many friends, this
paper waits to them its heartiest
congratulations.

THE NEW COURT HOUSE

No less than four counties of Ne.
vada are building court houses or
have the matter under considera-
ton. Washoe county is Just com.
pletlng the finest county building
In the state, Elko county has a
magnificent building under con-
struction, Lyon county has need
Tor one and will build it when the
place OF location is finally selected,
and Douglas county is just COM
pleting reconstructed building
at Genoa. In the first two coun.
ties the new buildings have been
made necessary by increased busi-
ness while in the last two, the
county buildings were destroyed
by fire.
The new court house in this
county, or to speak correctly, the
reconstructed court house, becau use
the greater portion of the old walls
were used, will be completed this
week according to reports brought
from Genoa. The building is al
most identical with the old build
ing which was originally built by
l.. Gilman, save for a wing that
was added to the south side of the
building. This gives more room
In the recorders Office and at the
same time makes the grand Jury
room on the upper floor a little
more spacious.
Although the building is about
ready for occupancy, it will be
some little time before the needed
furniture and office fixtures can be
secured. Last week the Com
missioners met to examine the bids
for furnishing the court house.
The lowest bid filed called far an
expenditure of 5000, little
more than had been figured on for
this work. The bids wers rejected
and new ones were ordered adver-

tised for. If the court house is
is equipped and furnished as it
should be, it will, in our judgment,
cost not less than $1,000.
Shortly after the County Com
missioners let the contract to Geo.
King for The reconstruction of the
building, all kinds of charges were
circulated broadcast throughout
the county. 1t was openly charg-
ed that one of the commissioners
had received $1,000 to give the
contract to King, whose bid was
not the lowest but was the only
legal one filed. Prior to election
much capital was made out of this
charge for obvious reasons although
fagrant on very face of it. Every
document and a record of every
transaction connected with the
letting of the contract and building
Of the court house, are on file in
county clerks office. They are
public records and can be examin-
ed at any time by any person who
so desires. The clerk is obliging
and will explain every point to
your utmost satisfaction, because
every act connected with the let
ting of this contract was open and
above board and the real intent of
the scurelous is quite obvious.
To those who are not familiar
with the circumstances of the let
ting OF the contract it vo1ld be
we'll to make a few facts known.
