Since the census talk has started.
and especially at this time when the
enumerators are busiiy engaged in
all parts of the United States ask
ing questions and securing the

people, many estimates have been
made as to the population of the

seems to be the figure that meets
with the greatest approval, and by
those who r in a position to know,
the claim is made that the popula-
tion will at least reach this figure.

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, sufici-
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 SAC
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.

county hospital Sunday night. He
had been a resident of Elko county
for owe forty years and was well
and favorably known by old timers.
he was born in Ohio over rs years
ago. The hardships he underwent
in teaming broke down his rugged
constitution and a few weeks ago
he became an inmate of the county
hospital.
Mr.. Billiards. many friends will
regret to learn that he accumulated
no property during his lifetime and
that he will be buried at the expense
of the county if some one does not
take up a collection sufficient to
defray the expenses of a proper
burial Those who knew Kit
Billiard so long will doubtless
contribute ~checrfully to the fund.
His remains have been embalmed

funeral will be held at 4 o'clock
