OLD PROSPECTOR HAS
A LEG AMPUTATED
LARRY HoGUE STANDS ORDEAL
WELL AND SAYS HE'LL SOON
BE BACK ON JOB

Larry Hogue, one of the best known
OF the oldtimers in the Tonopah dis
trict, underwent an operation yester-
day at the county hospital, his left
leg being amputated at the knee.
Mr.. Hogue had his feet frozen last
winter and as result gangrene set
in. Despite his advanced age and
frailty, there is excellent assurance
that he will recover. Mr.. Hogue with.
stood the shock splendidly.
The old prospector has been fam
iliar figure on the streets of Tonopah
ever since the town was established.
In the early days he acquired a large
acreage seven miles north of town
and has been keeping up the assess
ment work ever since. Each time he
come to town II was with bigger
hopes and more assured than ever be-
fore. II was his dream to acquire
riches and then expend his money
on public improvements for Tonopah,
where he determined to remain He
has been staked for years by people
OF rather limited means in this city
more for the assistance they could
give him than for any hope of reward
although he has some properties OF
real merit and some small deals have
been made. Mr.. Hogue's GONZALES
cence is hoped for by all who know
the genial old gentleman.

commissioners of Elko county. held
yesterday, the recommendations of
the Winnemucca conference were
carried out and tax levied. The tax
