ENTERTAIN MANY FRIENDS
AT A MASQUERADE BALL
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Il. Williams Give
Farewell Party in Honor of Miss
Suzette Chadbourne.

Oats Park assembly hall was the
scene last Wednesday night of one of
the most enjoyable social functions
that have taken place in Fallon in
many moons The occasion was a
masquerade dancing party given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B. Williams in
honor of Miss Suzette Chadbourne of
San Francisco, a cousin of Mr.. G. J..
and Miss Elizabeth Kenny, to which
about seventy of their friends were
bidden.
Rarely, if ever, has such an array
of rich and beautiful costumes been
displayed at a similar affair in Fal-
Ion. BY singular coincidence, many
of the maskers selected their cos
tunes from the Oriental designs and
as a result the ball room presented
the appearance of a Turkish bazaar,
as pictured in the Arabian Nights.
However, there we're many other,
quaint, elegant and dainty charac-
ters represented, ranging from the
negro nanny" to the stately CO.
lonial dame, while pirates and
clowns, milkmaids and princesses
mingled and gave a delightful touch
of cosmopolitanism to the scene.
Many of the costumes and the
manner in which the characters were
sustained are worthy of particular
mention, except that the list would
he too long for the limits of a news
paper article. Until the unmasking
the host and hostess contrived to
conceal their identity from their
guests although many curious eyes
were endeavoring to single them
out from the motley throng.
Altogether it was one of the
pleasantest social functions ever car
ried out in this city and will be long
remembered by the participants, as
being perfect in every detail.
Tables were spread in the domes-
tic science department of the build
ing and an elaborate repast was
served to the guests. The tables
were handsomely decorated in pink
carnations and in this as in every
feature of the affair no detail was
overlooked that would contribute to
the comfort and pleasure of the
guests.

FRANK BUTTS IS FOUND
GUILTY OF HORSE STEALING

The criminal case of the State of
Nevada versus Frank Butts was
called for trial in the District court
on Monday, and such rapid progress
was made that only one day was
consumed in the entire trial. At six
o'clock the jury returned into court
with a verdict of Guilty as charged
in the information" and Judge
Hart then set November 14th, at 10
o'clock as the time for pronouncing
judgment and passing sentence, al
lowing the statutory two days to in
tervene.
Butts was charged with grand
larceny in taking a horse from Fallon
belonging to E. G. Norton, and was
arrested in Winnemucca and brought
back for trial. Eli Cam District
Attorney prosecuted the case while
Attorney G. j. Kenny represented
the defendant.

NEVADA WOOL Is BEING
CONTRACTED AT 20 CENTS

The sheepmen of this section of
the state are feeling pretty good over
the report that has been received
from the Botson wool market. A
sale of territorial wool has just been
sold on the open market, bringing
81 to Al cents per pound in the
grease. This means that Nevada
wool will bring around 80 cents, and
we have it on good authority that the
1917 clips of the w. T. Jenkins com
pauy, and the George Williams clip
of John G. Taylor have already been
contracted for from 26 to % cents
per pound. This year there were
nearly three million pounds of wool
shipped from Elko county, and from
present indications there will be an
increase next year.-Elko Free Press

WILL SOON RETURN TO HIS
OCCUPATION IN old MEXICO
II. J. Coverston, After Spending Sew
eral Months in L. S., Will Return
TO Duties In Guanaiuato.

r. j. Coverston. son of G.. W. Gov
erston of Fallon and who was a yisi-
tor here for couple of months this
fall, will shortly return to Guiana
juato, Mexico, to resume his work
with the Guanajuato Power & Elec-
trio Co. and the. Central Mexican
Light e Power Co.
Mr. Coyerston has been connected
with these two big companies for the
past fourteen years, the greater part
of which has been spent in the south
ern republic. The headquarters of
the company is at Colorado Springs
and Mr.. Coverston is the field sec
retary and treasurer of the company.
At the time of the Columbus raid and
the ordering of the U. S. troops to
the border Mr.. Coverston was in
Guanajuato and with practically ev-
cry American in the country was
placed under arrest awaiting the
outcome of the break which was
threatened when Pershings troops
crossed into Mexico in pursuit of
villa. He was finally liberated and
permitted to return to the United
States.
During his sojourn in the United
States Mr.. Coverston maintained
discreet silence as to his views of the
international difficulties and abso-
lutely refused to be quoted on any
phase of the Mexican question. He
has lived so long in Mexico that he
has become attached to the people
and the country in which he has
made many warm friends and feels
no hesitancy whatever in committing
his future to their hands.
The fact that Mr. Coyerston's
company has decided to again re-
sumo business is a strong indication
that the peace negotiations now
pending between this country and
our southern neighbor are in a fair
way TO reach an amicable adjust
ment and that we may shortly see
general exodus of Americans return
ing to the scene of their former ac-
tivities.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL DANCE

The pupils and teachers of the To-
cal grammar schools have completed
arrangements for the big dance to
be given at the Oats Park School
Friday evening. Fred Steinbrook
and his aids who managed the Fair
dances, will be there to direct the
dancing. The best of music available
in the city has been secured for the
occasion. 1t is expected that this
dance will eclipse anything of its
kind ever given in Fallon
Lunch will be served in the domes-
tice science department of the high
school. There will be all sorts of
good things to be bought for a
dime,
The funds secured will be used to
improve the Fairgrounds. This is a
worthy cause and should have the
patronage of the general public.
The tickets are on sale now; 10c
each; for Csc; Z for soc and Is
for 81. There has already been a
large number sold. The seventh
grade and the eighth grade are en-
deavoring to outsell each other. The
grade winning the contest will be
the guests of honor of the losing
grade, at a party to be given within
the near future. At this writing the
seventh grade is leading by zoe.
Remember the date, Friday even
ing, December 15.
