JUDGE EMMETT WALSH TAKES
BLUSHING G0LDFIELD BRIDE

Judge Emmett Walsh of Goldfield
put one over on his friends this week
by slipping away from his home in
the southern camp and going to Tono-
pah to be married. The bride, Mrs.
Mclean of Goldfield, was escorted to
the apartments of Judge Mark r.
Averill in the Bank building shortly
after seven o'clock in the evening and
there the knot was tied, and the prin-
cipals in the romance vanished from
sight and thus escaped the attentions
of several hundred admirers who
wished to express their joy with the
usual accompaniment of tin kettles.
Judge Walsh had always been regard
ed as hopeless bachelor, but it is
understood that the present marriage
is the elimination of an old romance.

SCALP BECAUSE OF MISTAKE

Little Shirley Schmidt, son of City
Clerk Carl Schmidt, writes to The
Silver State to complain that his name
did not appear in the list of charac-

as Grandpa Wright took such pains
to rig him up as an Indian, with bow

We wish to say that the list was
handed in at almost the last minute
by Miss Genevieve Lying and several
of the children had been overlooked
