Example of Honesty

The following clipping from the
Gridley, Cal, paper, is of especial in
terest to Vegas people from the reason
that Theodore Arnold mentioned was a
brother of Mr.. W. E. Arnold of this
city and the lady who received the
check is his mother.
''An incident of the days work at
the Rdeout Bank of this place a day
or two ago was one of those cheering
occurrences which bolster ones faith in
human nature and in the integrity of
genuinely honest men whatever be their
race or religion.
'1n 1914, shortly before the death of
the late Theodore Arnold. who was
operating the Hefner orchard, he had
in his employ native of Afganistan.
a Mohammedan by religion, named
Nor Khan. Khan got through with his
job and was paid off by Arnold with a
check, the payment being made in the
evening and the tender being made at
the camp where there was but a dim
light Khan put the check in his
pocket and took train to Sacramento
/. here he cashcd tie check When he
received the money from the teller he
hesitated, and asked if mistake had
not been made. He was shown the
check, and it called for fifty dollars,
the amount given him. Khan then
went to Los Angeles, intending to re-
turn the ten dollars to Arnold, for
forty dollars was the amount due him.
His work and other circumstances pre-
vented him from returning, and his un-
familiarity with English as it is written
prevented him from sending the money
to Arnold, and perhaps he wanted the
satisfaction of personally handing it to
his former employer. Anyway, one
night this week Khan came to Gridley
and went to the home of E. f. Biggs,
the manager of the Rideout Bank, and
explained the matter, saying he had
walked out to the Hefner place. only to
find that Arnold was dead, and he
wished the money to be paid to Arnold 5
boy. Mr. Biggs explained that Arnold
had no children, and Khan then sug
gested that the money be given to his
mother if she survived her son. This
was agreed upon and Mr.. Biggs sent a
check to Mrs. Margaret Arnold, of this
place, which will be of value to her as
token of the honesty and single
mindedness of an employee of her dead
son."

A rich strike of zinc ore tcolamine)
has been made in the property in the
Yellow Pine district owned by M, M.
Riley and C. E. M. Beall and bonded
by them to the Valentine Mining Co
