AN ADVENTURE IN "CHILI"
Several Varieties of Weather Encoun-
tered by Two Local Men; 'Drive''
and Other Reflections;M MIR. John
Troup Still "Hot."

No he hadn't frijoles! He won't
be hungry for chilli till manana.
Perhaps not then. 1t did not hap

American hacienda in the hills but

days pilgrimage made by John
Troup, the we'll known breeder of
fine Clydesdales, and Joe Currey of
this city.
At sunup last Wednesday these
gentlemen. longing "to travel in
strange lands" left on a long drive
Tuscarora. Next Edgemont was
visited, for here Joe is interested,
the mine having commenced opera
tions. Leaving this they treked to
White Rock. Growing homesick for
Elko they commenced homeward
trip. For 25 miles the rain descend
ed and the wind blew and fell up
on John and Joe. This was be-
tween Deep Creek and Edgemont.
John cried "On-on." and onward
they went but John being used to

tremely cold. They diEmounted
and entered "The Dew Drop Inn"
Joe advised John to eat an innocent
bean or two, which John had never
tasted before, saying it would warm
him up. He was chilly, and chill
would do him good, and it came to
pass that John Troup did eat Of the
chill that wise men refused and
hath been ''hot'' ever sin ee. He
murmured no ''gracias" but some

A Rich Gold Strike
Found In ElkO Cellar
Tremendous Excitement in this City; Values Run
High; the Assays Show $4,000 to the
Ton; Information Suppressed
---Has Leaked Out.

Saturday at 1870 a. m. whilst
hundreds of busy feet passed along,
one of the richest gold strikes ever
known, was discovered in Elko
The modesty and reticence of the
discoverer, has prevented the glad
tidings from reaching the reading
public before. Any how this is
our first opportunity for there is
no Sunday paper issued in this
classic city.
Like a whisper from the Spirit,
land, almost mystic, the word
rea ached, us, and at once our ennui
vanished, and we felt like our
primitive ancestors who lived in
the ,Atlantaen orchards milleniums
ago for We are as poor as they,
unless.
The masonry of sensation leaped
through our veins; we were no
longer cold like piece of Etruscan
glass from the tomb. The Elko pub
lie must know Elko county must
realize it; Battle born Nevada
must learn it; United States; yea
the world, that gold is at our
doors, in our cellars under the
dirt and debris So this filled us
with galvanic desire to give the
news, to eyes that may laugh and
turn away. Approach and read
of Elko's gold s.rika.
Last Saturday at 10 a m in the
Great Quiet of his cellar, in a
secluded corner of the said cellar
located under the pavement of his
clothing store, the discovery was
made by Seymour Jacobs. 1t
was discovery of free gold, that if
it had held out would have made
Elko more famous than the Klon-
dyke; would have reduced the cost
Of living, would have caused rush
Of "the maddening crowd" 10 this
busy town, but it didn't hold out.
The mystery was solved by the
explanation that while Seymour

Two Verdicts
(Author Lewis TubbS)

She was woman, worn and thin,
Whom the world condemned for a
single sin:
They cast her out on the Kings
highway
And passed her by as they went to
pray.
He was a man and more to blame,
But the world spared him q breath
Of shame,
Beneath his feet he saw her lie, :
But raised his head and passed her
by,
There were people who went to pray
At the temple of God on the holy
They scorned the woman,
Forgave the man;
1t was ever thus since the world be-
gan.
Time passed on and the woman died
On the cross of shame she was
crucified;
But the world was stern and would
not yield,
Aud they buried her in a potter
field,
The man died too, and they buried
him
In casket of cloth with a silver
rim,
And said as they turned from his
grave away, .'
eve have buried an honest man to-
day"

HE IS JUST AWAY"
Hundreds of Citizens of All Ages
Do Honor to Memory of Elko's
Well Beloved Floyd Clark.

Twas said of Homer the blind
Grecian poet Born at los, died
at Smyrna" Since his day seven
cities have claimed the honor of
being the birthplace of the famous
poet. who went from city to city
singing immortal songs.
1t is our duty to chronicle the
passing away, not of one who
touched an immortal Tyre with
magic touch but one who was
born in San Francisco Dec. 8, 1894
and who unmoored his frail bark,
in the same city few days ago.
His life, though short was prophetic
Of promise of noble manhood and
intrinsic character.
While we write these weak words
the bells from the church tower
toll in memory of the one who
went away. The dcep-toned organ
peals the funeral march, and all
classes of citizens, friends and ac-
quaintances have gathered in the
Presbyterian Church as q last tri-
butte of respect. He is surrounded
by wreaths of flowers from class
mates, Western Pacific employees,
fraternal societies and friends. Fit
ting tribute to his fiower-like life
that SO soon faded away. The or
gan peals and the quartette sings
in voices "sweet and low" we think
as they sing Ct what Longfellow
once wrote, and apply it to Floyd
He has moved little nearer,
To the master Of all music,
To the master of all singing"
The Rev. L L Tower, acting
pastor of the Presbyterian Church
conducted the preliminary services,
Judge E ] L Taber followed with a
most impressive address, for this
kind hearted Judge knew Floyd
and loved him.
1t reminded US of what Dickens
wrote on The Death of Little
Nell" May we change one word
and apply it to Floyd asleep amid
the flowers? "He Was dead, so
young. so beautiful, so good" We
cannot foget his dutiful obedience
to his parents; his sunshiny smile,
his noble qualities. Who knows
he may not forget US! If re could
speak today perhaps he would say
to the host of mourning friends:
"Sleep and forger, the night is
here,
Though il is dark, l am near;
Let me be all the world to you.
l will be faithful, yes and true;'
Fear not the shadows that round
you fall;
Speak and my heart shall hear
you call;
Ever Loves watchful vigils to
keep,
will be near you while you
sleep"
The service ended, the mourners
stood apart after they had viewed
for the last time his fair sweet fave
Then silently down to Gods acre
the beautiful l o o F cemetery,
they bore him, and placed him in
his tomb, amid the flowers. We
turned away and softly repeated
Riley's immortal poem 1t may COM
fort sad hearts in their Gethsemane
Of sorrow; it may change the cup
Of gall to one Of glory May the
poem do this for us-and all of us.
We cannot say and we will not
say
That he is dead--he is just away.

Former T Fargo Pastor
Has Withdrawn From
Methodist Conference

Lisbon, N. D., Oct. ia sensation
was sprung at the annual session Of
the North Dakota conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church which
closes here today, WTen the formal
resignation of Rev. Charles f. SeWrey,
pastor Of the church at Wahpeton, was
real, along with his withdrawal from
the church.
Rev. Mr.. Sewrey, formerly pastor Of
the Broadway Methodist church Of
Fargo, has been pastor Of the Meth
odist CONGREGATIONAL consolidated
church at Wahpeton during the past
year, having been assigned to that
charge at the conference a year ago
from his Fargo pastorate.
When the vera concluded the Meth
odist people of Wahpeton were disin-
clined to continue the consolidation
arrangement and sent request to the
Lisbon conference for new and sep
.arate pastor. Rev. Mr.. Sewrey was
rendered the charge at Edgeley, where
the living is $1,000 per year.
This he declined and announced his
withdrawal not only from the confer
ence but from the Methodist Episcopal
church. He will accept the pastorate
Of the Wahpeton CONGREGATIONAL
church, entering the ministry of that
church. ..
Rev. Mr.. Sewrey was pastor of the
Broadway Methodist church Of Fargo
for period of not more than two
years when he was suddenly changed
to Wahpeton. The change, it Is rum
ored, was at first not an agreeable one
to him. The change from Wahpeton
to Edgeley was also not agreeable.
Many members of the conference
seem to feel that Mr.. Sewrey has act
ed imprudently in this matter and that
his step is one that he will later regret.
= Closing Day. n"
The closing day of the conference
was filled with many important
events. In addition to the assignment
Of the pastors over the state, several
committees were appointed which will
handle the problems of the conference
during the coming year. 8
I Regarding the hospital matter, it
was decided to erect several Metflo-
dist hospitals In the state during the
coming year. A committee was ap-
