The people of winnemucca in gem

news of the signing of the armistice
yesterday morning. the word being
passed from mouth to mouth. A little
after midnight yesterday morning the
fire bell was rung to announce the
coming of the official news. but only
few people were awakened and in
consequence the celebration did not
amount to much.
But by noon yesterday plans were
under way for celebration; the
mayor visited the stores and requested
them to close for the day and the
saloons were asked to close from one
to two o'clock. The small boys could
not wait to celebrate and they were
very much in evidence all through the
day. About one-thirty the fire truck
and many automobiles commenced to
parade the town, all of them well
supplied with noice makers. AS IL by
common consent they all finally
wound up at the Southern Pacific
depot to meet train number six at 3
o'clock, and a right hearty and loud
reception greeted travellers when they
arrived here on that train.
But the people here seemed to take
