automatic, double jointed liar, As can
be judged from the following. In
case he returns to Reno for his man,
as he threatens, he might grant the
Reno papers an interview, as they
will most likely enjoy such a love
feast:
They are lighting for the .lils o.
the state. That is practically what
the whole thing means
This declaration was made by
County Detective George w. Ryan
yesterday, when he returned empty
handed from Reno, New, where he
had gone with a requsition to bring
back Albert Lewis, former chauffeur
