FORM ONE BIG ASSOCIATION
Chinese Family Of Wong in Montreal
Combine for Mutual Benefit and
Business Help.

We live and learn, and some Of our
learning comes from unexpected
sources. If all the Smiths and all the
JcneSes were to organize themselves
into n mutual benefit and charitable
society, it would at least be consid-
cred a somewhat novel proceeding, yet
that is exactly what is being done in
Montreal at the present moment by the
Chinese. Members of the Wong fam
lily OF China, who have left their ma
tive lane to seek their fortunes here,
a V formed themselves into the Wong
Wun Sun association of Montreal. the
object of which is to assist all Chi
neSe bearing the name Of Wong af-
fiicted by sickness, accidents or re-
verses of fortune. All the Wongs bear
some degree Of relationship to one an
other. land as the association already
has some 300 members and expects
more, 1t is probably one of the largest
faml1es on record. The association
does not confine itself to helping those
In sickness or distress, hut goes far
ther. If n Wong is DESTROYS of start
ing up q laundry or some other bust
ness and is not possessed Of the neces-
sary capital, he goes along TO the other
Wongs at the weekly Saturday meet
ing and presents his case and If he
proves his good faith the money Is
forthcoming. In fact, In every gen
uin case of a member of the family
business assistance is given. The idea

SEVENTY MEMBERS AT ELKO

Yesterday was the big day for the
Stray Elks of Elko. who played host
TO the Ogden delegation, who arrived
thirty strong TO confer the degree on
a class of seventy Elko members, says
the Elko Free Press.
The new grammar school building
was turned over to the Elks for
their installation, and the big audi
torium was the scene of the goat
riding experiences of the new class.
Some of the new members were given
taste of what was going TO happen
when they were caught and tied TO
convenient poles on the main busi-
ness street before the formal cere-
monies took place. and some of the
poles contained as many as three can
didates.
Practically every business house in
Elko was decorated in the colors of
the order. purple and white, and some
of the displays were especially strik-
ing.

from gall stones. The information
came to l.. G. Campbell in telephone
conversation with Judge Norcross.
l.. A. Gibbons was one of the lead
ing lawyers of Nevada and was well
known in Winnemucca, having had a
large practice in this court the past
years of age and began the practice
of law in San Francisco when but
nineteen years of age. He went to
Tonopah during the boom and prac-
tised there until until he went to
Reno, about ten years ago, when the
firm of Hoyt, Gibbons & French was
formed. Recently the firm was
changed to Gibbons, French & Stod-
dard.
Mr.. Gibbons is survived by a wife
and two children.
He was a Mason in all branches
and was also a member of the Elks.
He had been connected with much
of the most important litigation of
the west and had taken part in some
of the greatest legal battles in Hum
boldt county during his residence in
Reno, a few of the more important
cases being those of Moore & Young
vs.. the Rochester Weaver Mining Co.

|MPASS|ONED PLEA
SECURES ACQU|TAL

Sing Lee was acquitted by the jury
yesterday after being out about thirty
minutes, and the defendant was dis
charged from custody.
L. G.. Wilson, who had been ap-
pointed by the court to defend the
accused, made an impassioned plea
to the jury. He vehemently denounced
the prohibition law, admitted that
prohibition was good thing and was
glad the saloon was abolished, but
said some of the provisions of the law
provisions were SO drastic that man
could be sent to the penitentiary for
giving his grandmother a spoonful of
whisky in order to save her life. The
people did not konw of these fanatic
provisions when they were voting for
the law. In effect, he asked why don't
they" get some influential person,
and not pick on poor, harmless
Chinaman "a years old. And he turned
and looked at Sing Lee, and the jury
looked at him, and sure enough he
was the very picture of innocence and
harmlessness, as he sat smiling.
The old mans face was beaming
with smiles when told that he was ac-
quilted and that he was free. 1t was
the same smile he had worn when
giving away Chinese lilies or silk
handkerchiefs for Christmas presents
to white people for the last fifty years.
and the same smile he wore while
serving a Jail sentence last year.
A short time before. while sitting
around during an intermission of
court, the old man became remi-
niscent and in a few words told of
some of the good old times at Union
vile.
"Splinger-I know him when he so
high" said Sing Lee. and he held his
hand up about foot above the table
According to that the sheriff of Hum
boldt county has grown just five feet
and three inches since that time.
"Organ--I know he papa when he
fifteen years old" said the old China
man. referring to A. +. Organ, the
assessor. as the son. and Peter Organ
of Mill City as the father, who at
that time lived in Unionville

BIG GAME SET FOR
TOMORROW EVENING

The game which was to have been
played with the Elko High school
girls on January 81, will be played
tomorrow night in the high school
gymnasium.
This promises to be a good contest
as Elko has fast, snappy team and
is out to ayenge their defeat at the
hands of the local girls last month.
The last game was very close and
although Elko was the loser, it re-
quired the best efforts of the Winnie
mucca champions to keep on the long
end of the score.
This will probably be the last game
of the season at home and as the To-
girls are going to Reno on March 4.
they won two years ago, and which
was not contested for last year, the
town people are expected to turn out
to show them that they are really
behind them in their efforts to keep
Winnemucca on the map, from an
athletic standpoint.
The game will begin promptly at
eight o'clock and the gymnasium will
be well heated and ventilated Town
people will be given the seats in the
auditorium and the high school and
grammar school students will be
seated on the stage, so that all who
attend will be sure of a good seat
to witness the game which will be
over in plenty of time to afford every
one a chance to attend the jazz dance
at the Nixon.
The Winnemucca team will be as
follows: Helen Rose, captain, and
Basha Callahan. guards; Marguerite
Otis, jumping center; Louise Ruck-
teschler, running center; Mabel Reil
and Doris Cooney, forwards. The
Elko team will be met at the depot
by the student body of the high school
and committee has been appointed
from the students to entertain them
during their stay here.
Don't forget the date, tomorrow,
Friday night; time, eight o'clock;
place, high school gymnasium. The
