FANOANGO
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The annual fandango held by the
Indians of eastern Nevada took place
at Duckwater from the 10th to the
18th of September. About 100 Indians
were in attendance coming from Aus
tin. Smoky Valley, Elko, Pharanagat
Valley, Ely and other places. Many
of them came in automobiles, some
in wagons and some on horseback.
Some who came with teams from re-
mote localities were as much as a
week on the road, says the Ely Rec
ord.
Mrs. A. f. Birch, who runs the
store at Duckwater, established a
lunch counter which she ran day and
night for the entire seven days. She
sold 400 pies at sixty cents APIECE and
a great quantity of bread for which
she received twenty-five cents a loaf.
The Indians were apparently well
supplied with money and spent it free
ly. A number of raffles wae held
for brides and other articles. One
bride heavily mounted in silver
brought $50 in a rattle. Another
headstall and reins, hair work done
by the prisoners at the state peniten-
tiary, brought $50.
Gambling games of various kinds
are said to have been running free
ly, and Billy Behank, a well-known
indian of Ely, is reported to have
been a heavy winner. Another In
dian, Frank Murphy, of Elko, was al
so lucky.
During the day the Indians amused
themselves with horse races, buck
ing contests, foot races and bal
games, and at night they danced
Baseball games between Austin and
Duckwater teams. all Indians, was a
feature of the occasion.
In spite of the fact that bootlegger
are said to have been present an6
freely plying their trade there wer
0 fights and the entire occasion wa
pleasant and harmonious. Chic

Eastern tourists travelling over
Midland Trail were intensely intor
ested spectators at a number of t.
dances and will no doubt have soee
great tales to tell when they retur'
to their homes.
