to Sacramento and worked eight
years for the S. p. During the

Of Goldfcld in early days.
To be precise he came to Elko,
on May 9Th, 1909 and purchased
the Walter Kline Saddlery bust

the early '70s by Plugoff & Brain.

did not even know he was shot un-
til he returned home and undress-

had entered his leg and was firmly
imbedded in the flesh.

Joseph Nenzel, the discoverer of
the mining camp of Rochester. He
is now in a precarious condition
and under medical attent. N,

when the pistol was accidentally
discharged as he put it in his
pocket. He paid no real atten-
tion to it and went to the dance.

THE DIVINE ALCHEMY"
A Sunday Evening Address

A rare intellectual treat was
offered the people Of Elko at the
Presbyterian Church Sunday night
when Mr.. W. A. Laughlin addressed
the congregation on "The Divine AL
chemy'. A good attendance en-
couraged the speaker and the rapt
attention Of the audience called
forth a response of word pictures
and SMILES such as we seldom hear
in pulpit oratory.
In his introduction of the speak
er Mr. Greenfield stated that he
would rather have a layman give
good message than an ordained
clergymen poor message and he
had no apology to make to the
people in presenting a layman who
had made such a record in the
Chantauqua lecture bureaus as Mr.
Laughlin has made.
The speaker took as his text
All things work together for
good" His analysis of the text. his
references to art and literature, his
ready word pictures and the manner
with which he handled the subject
made a deep impression upon his
hearers. The scientific analogy
between the alchemy of the old
school, when men sought the phil
osopher's stone that would turn all
things into gold and the divine
economy which makes everything
conspire to the good of humanity
and the glory of God was very
clearly presented.
Mr. Laughlin is a graduate of
an Eastern University. This,
of course was followed by a
years work in Theology. Follow
ing this preparation he has filled
many important engagements with
Chatsuqua Lecture Bureaus. He
is always ready and willing
to give to the people the result of
his education and service.
We hope that we may again have
the pleasure of hearing Mr. Laugh
lin from the pulpit of the Elko
Church and that he will have al
opportunity of trying out here his
idea of the Childrens' Church
which has met with eminent SUCCESS
at other places where he has at
tempted it. Elko is very fortunate
in having in her midst a man Of
his ability and learning.

the fact that there is lot of fun
to be got out of the High School.
