Opening Dance at
Valley Springs Hall

Tomorrow night, June 7th, is the
date of the opening dance to be
held in the new hall at Valley
Springs and judging from what is
heard on the streets, the Wyatts
will have some crowd at their open
ing dance. Ever since work was
started on the hall, the young peo-
pie have been anxiously awaiting
the announcement of the opening
dance.
Since assuming the management
of VALLEY Springs Mr.. and Mrs.
Wyatt have made a host of friends
by their untiring efforts to please
the public. Those who attend this
dance are assured the cordial treat
ment that has been in vogue at
Valley Springs by the Wyatts.
Litchenberg's orchestra will
furnish music for the dance.

Severe Thunder Storm
Visits This Section

One of the most severe electrical
storms that has visited this section
in fourteen years, occurred Sunday
afternoon. The deafening claps of
thunder were followed by a heavy
downpour of rain that fell in sheet
and within a few moments the
streets were like a lake. The storm
completely demoralized telephone
communication and put no less than
eighteen lines out of commission.
Two valuable horses belonging to
VIM. Hussman were struck by
lightning and instantly killed. The
animals were in a pasture and were
standing near a wire fence.
Sundays storm recalled to men,
ory the electrical disturbance that
occurred some fourteen years ago
when tightening tore the steeple
from the Gardnerville Methodist
Church and set the building on fire.

At the conclusion of the program In
the hall the winners of the field
events were presented with ribbons
and the championship pennant to
the Genoa School.
The audience adjourned to the
public square where the Gardner
nerville school presented a May
pole dance. The national anthem,
which was then sung, concluded the
exercises.
In behalf of the Teachers Associ-
alton of Douglas County | wish to
express our appreciation to those
who so kindly aided us in making
the meet success; to the Record
Courier which advertised it, to the
C. V. |. C. for the use of their hall,
to the judges and scorers for their
work, to the Carson Valley Band for
its music, and to the citizens of
Minden for their help especially to
H. F. Dangberg. We appreciate
the mutual cooperation upon the
part of the parents and trustees of
the several schools, and we wish to
thank the young athletes themselves
who competed in such clean
sportsmanlike manner.
Lastly we hope that this is but
beginning in the right direction,
that each year will see larger con-
vention of children and parents,
that keener rivalry and closer COM
petition may bo had, and that liter
ary and musical entertainments OF
greater magnitude may be produc-
ed. Very truly,

the Danish Society in Hussman's
Grove.

already assured. The beautiful

Sheridan People
Fight Forest Fire

What would have rapidly grown
into a serious forest fire, menacing
both the forest and ranches about
Sheridan, had it occurred later in
the season or even at this time if left
unattended, was reported to the
Forest office about noon on Wednes-
day by P. Thompson of Sheridan.
Within short time he and Super
visor Maule were speeding across
the valley toward it. At Sheridan
they were joined by Bert and
Geshom Russell, A. Brockliss, w.
Gansberg and F. Christensen who
were waiting with shovels and sad
die horses.
The fire which was probably start
ed by lightning, was located in the
mouth of Jobs Peak Canyon adjacent
to heavy stand of timber. 1t was
largely confined to the debris caused
by a snowslide, having covered
about ten acres when the fire fight
ers arrived. By five-thirty in the
evening it was we'll surrounded by
trenches and left in charge of an
Italian wood chopper who lived
near by. The public spirit shown
by the residents of Sheridan is to be
most highly commended.
