Leaving san Antonio at $3.50 a. NJ.
Dawson set out over a comparatively
strange road and checked In at Dallas

eter registered exactly 303 miles
regardless OF ell existing obstacles the
run was made In the remarkable rec
ord time OF ak hours. fltty-flve minutes

sumption averaged thirteen and one

The average time Of the fastest train
between these two cities Is seven hours

Save your hairl Double its
beauty in just q
few moments.
" Danderine" m akes hair
thick, glossy, wavy
and beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
ration Of Danderine you can not find
a single trace Of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be after
few weeks' use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at frst-yes-
but really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
Danderine Is TO the hair what fresh
showers Of rain and sunshine arc to
vegetation. II goes right to the roots,
invigoratcs and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty Of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw IL
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect Is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.

RENO BANK WINS
SUIT IN RAlNE CASE

The jury in the case OF the Farmers
and Merchants National Bank of Reno.
against the estate OF J. i. Rainc
brought in verdict for the plaintiff
for the sum of $3.50 at three min
utes after eight Sunday morning. The
suit was brought to recover on two
notes, each for $3.50. One note, II
seems, had reached maturity before 1t
was taken by the bank. The plain
tiffs were represented by Judge Mack
and Attorney Green of Reno, and the
defendants were represented by the
| law firm of Curler & Castle.
! A peculiar thing happened after the
/ Jury had retired to deliberate upon
/ their verdict a straw vote was taken
as a sort of test of the jury's leaning,
and the result was nine to three in
I favor of defendant. II there had been
no understanding that the vote was
merely a test and not to be decisive
! the verdict would have been absolute
! in defendants favor whereas subsc'
quent ballots changed matter so that
plaintiffs were given judgment. The
case is interesting also because OF the
presence of the first lady juror in Elkc
county upon the jury panel. Mrs
Fannie Moody holds the honor and
the gentlemen members showed theil
chivalry by making her their fore
man or "forewoman," whichever th'
lawyers may later decide proper

last Friday night at which twelve
were present and FIVE others duly ac
