Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1911-05-15

one of the 81 persons who went
from Tonopah to Goldfield yester-
day upon the excursion of the Elks,
when they went over to take the
scalp" of the Goldfield crowd, who
unceremoniously took it from Tono-
pah three weeks ago. 1t was truly
a day of Elks in Goldfield yester-
day, and the Tonopah lodge carried
everything before it, In the num-
bers that they sent over upon the
invitation of the Goldfield lodge, the
appearance of the combatants in
the estimable baseball game that
later took place, in the showing of
the excellent band, and the general
enthusiasm of all the Elks and
their friends who went over.
Goldfield was most gracious in
the hospitality that she extended
to her visitors, meeting them at the
station with a very goodly number,
escorting them to the Elks hall
| and then seating at a table re-
piete with all the delicacies that
the most fastidious could desire
| Those of the Goldfield Elks who
/ were not at the train were at the
club rooms to meet not only the
members of the Tonopah lodge, but
| also all persons who availed them
| selves of the rates to go over there
and see the great sister city of tn,
mining industry in Southern Ne
vada.
| 1t was generally remarked b!
all the Elks that they could no
have been favored with more hos
pitaIity and could not have beel
better cared for by any one bette
than they were received and en-
tartained by the Goldfeld people
more especially the Elks.
Tonopah sprung it's great surpris
, in landing upon the community 2
men, who, the like of which be
fore that date had never been see
in Goldfield. Twenty Chiname
> dropped into that community, bu
the Goldfield people manacled theI
and marched them up the mai
+ street in pairs and ordered thel
to be taken to the bastile of Cole
field, which on that day was tn
Elks' club rooms. They had e,
pected the "hobble skirts to +,
, appear and this surprise was bl
i the first to be sprung upon then
as the rest of the day passing /
l. demonstrated.
. After the most excellent repa
indulged in by everyone, durir
u" which time they were treated
. the music of a splendid orchestr
which consisted of but a lady
. the piano and a man with drum
g and other instruments used by SUI
an artist, was really a treat an
'e had it been impossible to have SCI
- the performers, one would ha
thought an orchestra of sever
~ pieces was playing.
-, The band from Tonopah was al
i1 in evidence and gave the people
Goldfield their first treat of re
a. live music and made them of t
southern town envious of the pC
session of Tonopah of such Fl
musical organization.
Speaking of the baseball gan
N Tonopah recovered itself in splenc
style, surprising it's opponents, a

re game opened up in most stlrri
If style, each team having two ri

of inning. Excitement was intense a
ny the ardor of the people was
even dampened or chilled by the
20 pearance of the most discounted

ng the next two innings. The play
in manfully fought, and at the end
1e- the fourth inning the score was
to to 9 in favor of Goldfield. Peo

were wise enough not to flour
any coin and, of course, it is
our province to say whether any
