Prominent Reno Banker

c.. T. Bender. banker. capitalist and
pioneer business man of Reno, died
at the family residence. BAT Ralston
street. at $50 Monday morning

cause of his death.
Mr.. Bender was seized with the
attack, which proved fatal, as he sat
at his desk in the Washoe County
bank. He was removed to his home

Sunday he recognized the voice of a
co-worker in the bank, with whom
he had been associated for many
years. then he gradually fell asleep,
the end coming peacefully in the
morning hours as his family gathered
about the bedside. hoping for a final
word or look of recognition.

afternoon when installed a new rope
on the flagstaff on top of the Court
House building. The pole on top Of
the so foot building is 80 feet in

tapering to three inches at the top.
He was 10 feet in the air when he

the work and drew a large crowd to

TREATING COYOTES VICTIM
Carlin Section Foreman Was Bitten in
Leg By Rabid Animal


Peter Taswles, section foreman for
the Southern Pacific Company at Car
lin and the latest victim of a rabid
coyote, is in Reno taking the Pasteur
treatment. Taswles says conditions
in Elko and Humboldt Counties on
account of the rabies among dogs
and coyotes are alarming and dan
gerous. Taswles was walking along
the railroad track near Carlin when
a rabid coyote, which was evidently
lying in wait for some living thing
to attack, leaped on him ana sunk
its fangs in the calf of his right leg.
Two dogs which accompanied Tas-
wles attacked the coyote. Both were
muzzled and both were bitten by
the rabid animal. One was killed
and the other is at Elko. Taswles
believes the coyote would have killed
him but for the dogs. The coyote
escaped.
Taswles began taking the Pasteur
treatment Wednesday night. He
says the injection made him "a little
SICK" but outside of that is all right.
The treatment requires 81 days.

AUSTIN BOY LOSES An EYE

Splinter From Burstins Soda Water Cuts
Eyebsll and Nsesssitates Operation
Hervey Hoskins, on the eve of his
graduation from the eight grade of
the Austin public school. met with
an accident that will make him per-
manently blind in one eye.
In a booth temporarily prepared
for the service of ice cream and soda
water, says the Reveille, a number
of boys were refreshing themselves.
As Hervey started in at the door he
was struck between the eyes by a
soda water bottle which Dean Pres
ton, a classmate. had at that moment
innocently tossed toward the street.
The bottle was shattered and a
silver of glass penetrated the right
eyeball of young Hoskins.
An examination of the eye by DR..
Belanger showed that the fluid Of
the eyeball had been let out and that
an operation would be necessary.
The boy was taken to Salt Lake City
last Saturday morning accompanied
by his brother. Donald, and sister,
Mrs. Louie Dyer.
Reports from Salt Lake state that
he is doing well and that only one
eye was injured.

Che Gift Month.

December-the gift month! "Give; IT
is like Cod" says an old proverb.
Christmas is a happy time because
then the best feelings of the heart are
elected and allowed full play. What
would otherwise be smothered down as
suggestive of sentimentality, as un-
seemly, as indicative of a too dear
dream, may venture forth in the good
congeniality of the Christmas season
and, quickly attaining unto beautiful
gift-fulness, blossom out in good will,
gladness, Christ-like kindliness, bless
ing and blessed.
1t is well that there should be such
a season. We are all kinder than we
seem. Life as it comes to us with its
imperative pressure of duty demands,
its brain racking cares for the immedi.
ate future, its pitifu misunderstood
ings leading unto arrangements, cold
ness, forgetfuness-life, even as 1t Is
and ever must be unto us mortals, ere.
ates, as it We're, an Icy film over what
is the kindliest and best in all our
hearts.
Then comes the Christmas season,
with its memories of other years, of
better, happier hours, and the hand of
a little child brushes away that ice
film, and there rise up silently into
our busy day those gentler, kindlier
feelings which, though dormant, We're
not dead.
AT home we are loved best; there, too,
We love best. In the genial Christian
home, as in no other place on earth,
there are full meaning, full apprecia-
ton, full enjoyment of the God given
gift, Christmas.

The baclilog's flame has died away;
The embers into ashes drift.
Outside the SHOWS are eddying. gray,
And piling fast in many a rift
White robed is now the cedar tree
Where once the catbird nightly sang,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicles like arrows hang.
The shadows on the somber wall
Flit cross and dance amid the gloom.
And streaks of ghostly color fall
In changing hues about the room.
The spiders In the corners dim
Within their webs the closer cling.
And from the mantel's oaken rim
A pair of childrens stockings swing
Ger field and forest, lane and road
Fast and still faster swirl the SHOWS,
And in the barn loft snugly slowed
drowsy rooster wakes and crows.
The clock strikes twelve. and midnight
wanes.
While winter skies stretch cold and
dr.ar
Frost flowers blossom on the panes.
The SHOWS float by and disappear.
And then across the rooftree swells,
Borne by the winds that fall and rise,
sound of many hurryins bells,
A sound that GIBBS and peals and dies.
And next adown the chimney creeps

And. true to all the trysts he keeps.
