MISS EDNA HAZELTON
DIES IN CANADA

L. b. Hazelton, manager of the Elko
Mercantile Co., received telegram
today announcing the death of his
sister, Miss Edna Hazelton, at Bran.
ford, Oregon, yesterday.
Miss Hazelton will be remembered
by many in Elko. She visited here
several times, the last time about
three years ago, and she made many
warm friends and admirers. She was
a most charming young lady, bright,
vivacious. and OF a happy disposition.
All who knew her will most sincerely
grieve when they learn that her spirit
has departed.
Miss Hazeiton had been in poor
health for number of months. and
lately her ailment was complicated
with heart trouble. She was given the
best medical attention, but the hand
of death could not be stayed. Her
passing is particularly sad for she
had not yet reached her twenty-fourth
birthday.
The sincere sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. HaZ.
elton in their bereavement.
AS mark of respect to the memory
of the deceased, the Elko Mercantile
store will be closed all day tomorrow.

win back their laurcls, so they say.
They are going to take day off and
practice up, and then what they will do
to the bunch from the railroad town
will be something awful. And when
