July 4th, 1918 will never be for
gotten by the editor of the Inde-
pendent. He spent the glorious
4th at Deeth and Star Valley. He
arrived at Deeth via the Southern
Pacific and whisked out to Star
Valley in Frank Smiley's elegant
touring car. Senatv. Jones was in
the party and he enjoyed the day
shaking hands and renewing old
acquaintance. Star Valley is d
veritable diadem of green set
among hills of brown. There
were about 800 people on the
grounds; basket ball played by two
teams of girls in bloomers was a
sight enjoyed by all. Foot races
and basket ball constituted the
sports. 1t was more like an old
fashioned family reunion. The
less we say about the ball game
the better for the feelings of Elko
fans. A second nine went out to
hold up Elko honor on the dia-
mond and fell by the waysida. The
score was 25 to 8 at the end of the
fifth or sixth and the way the
"Haymakers" played rag with the
Elko boys was enough to make the
angels weep.
The grounds was not good but
the playing of the boys from the
city was more than execrahle.
Never again will that bunch from
Elko talk ball, much less try to
play it without practice and a
different line up. Some-of the Ell.
ko boys had not played for years.
After the races came dinner

Sumptuous dinner is rarely served

MRS. ]. ". PUETT

The light of another home went
out Thursday afternoon when Mrs.
j. w. Puett crossed over the Great
Divide at her Carlin home.
Mrs. Puett was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Bruce who passed
away in Elko few years ago. She
was born in Yanktown, South Da,
kota, August 81, 1874. At an early
age she came to Elko with her par
ents and resided here until her
marriage to Mr.. John w. Puett of
Carlin on September 2, 1896. Ten
children were the fruits of this un-
ion. Seven boys and girls ranging
in age from sixteen years to eigh-
teen months, are hereft of moth
er's love and mothers care.
Mrs. Puett was devoted to her
home and family. She lived Only
for them. Now that she is gone
from them, may the memory Of
her self sacrifice and her devotion
to her home be to the children and
father more precious than gold and
more enduring than brass. May
God guard and protect the mother
less children.
Beside Mr.. Puett and children,
three brothers, Alfred, George
and Harry, and two sisters, Miss
Pearl and Mrs. M. H. Cooper, sur
Vive her. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of a large circle OF
friends in their great sorrow.
The funeral took place at Carlin
this forenoon and was largely at
tended. After the services, the
remains of this loving mother were
hidden from mortal sight in the
Carlin cemetery. There may her
body rest while her pure spirit finds
eternal peace on the Evergreen
Shore.

GRAND LARCENY
CASE DISMISSED
Warrants Issued Saturday for Hal
lowe eners Who Moved Walkers
Auto From Main Street
PRANK NOT APPRECIATED
Matter Settled Before Time of Prelim-
mary Hearing Wednesday

A Hallowe' zen prank that worked
out little different than was ex-
pected was pulled off last Friday
night when Ted Vaughan, F. c..
Chambers and Amos Myers pushed
Byron Walker auto from the
placeawhere the owner had left it
in front of Reid S store to the John
Mulfeld carpenter shop.
When Walker found his car gone
there was a change in the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere and if the
air wasn't blue it was because
Byron only whispered for on
many occasions the car had been
spirited away and its owner would
find it far from home left in any
convenient place by the joy-riders
who had appropriated it. Walker
lost no time in finding Marshal
Morley and commissioned the
latter to find out who had taken
the car away giving him three
warrants for John, Richard and
other Does in which the selfsame
Does were charged with grand
larceny.
When the guilty Hallowe eners
learned that there had been war
rants issued for their arrest they
went before Justice Wade and adj
mitted having moved the machine
but refused to plead to the charge
of grand larceny. The hearing in
the case was set for Wednesday.
When the case came up for trial
Wednesday the prosecuting witness
decided to drop the matter and the
case was dismissed.
