telephone Office. and owing to the
fact that a heavy windstorm was in
progress, the alarm caused much
anxiety to owners of town property.
However, 1t was found that the fire
was at the ranch OF Mrs. A. Radon,
about half mile beyond the Luther
an church. The Gardnerville fire de-
partment turned out and within very
few moments after the alarm was
given, the engine and hose cart were
being trailed to the scene of the fire
behind automobiles.
The blaze had gained good head

of the summer residences of the rich
Panamanians, Spanish girl, who is

desperately in love with her, and tries

The story of his making good, of his
