HER COSTUME is SNAPPY
Simply Frank. Says Mrs. Olga Won
Nilsson, but so Is a Bathing
Suit.

New York, Nov. S.-This is the story
Of an elastic gown. The gown belongs
to Mrs. Olga Won Nilsson Of Chicago It
is made of broad, yellow bands of
elastic similar to that used in the art

Manager c. c. Mobiles refused to
stretch a point and permit it TO re-
main in the dining room OF the Hotel

adorned lovingly, not TO say adhesive

Mrs. Won Nilsson would not consider
abandoning a creation which, though
It leaves no room for the Imagination,
has the more practical advantage Of
allowing her an extra course or two
at dinner
However, Manager Mobiles voiced his
decision in the matter. Then Mrs. Won
Nilsson voiced hers. The dining room
belonged to the gentleman. The elias

FIGHTING FOR RELEASE

Oscar J. Smith is in the district
court before Judge Moran again
today fighting an attempt to take
him to Eureka county to stand a
preliminary hcaril e on a charge
of having consented to the ac-
cartsrce IF deposits in the Eureka
County bank when the same was in
an insolvent condition. He is being
represented by Judge Glynn, and
today he is arguing a motion to
quash the return of the sheriff of
+ ureka county to his petition for
writ Of habeas corpus, sued out
when he was arrested by the sheriff
of Eureka county on January l4th.
Attorney Glynn this morning
argued that the return to the writ
is not sufficient as it does not state
positively that a crime was COM
mitted, and that it fails to state
when the alleged crime was COM
mitted, if one was committed.
He further states that their return
is not complete enough. He spent
nearly two hours arguing, and This
morning to quash, and then Judge
Brown. formcly district judge of
Elko, took up the argument for
the sheriff. He argued until the
noon hour. This afternoon At
torncy Levers and the district at
torey of Eureka county will argue
for the sheriff of Eureka and Judge
Glynn will make his cl sing argu-
ment. The matter will then be in
Judge Moran's hands to decide.
If he sustains the motion to quash
the sheriff Eureka will have to
make new return, and if he denies
the motion the matter will be
taken up on its merits.-Gazette.
