SMOKER AND TRIMMINGS

session Of the Eastern Nevada Cattle
and Sheep Growers Association We'd
nesday afternoon an adjournment
was taken until 1870 o'clock. when
the hall wes crowded to the doors by
the delegates and Ely business men
to enjoy the smoker which had been
arranged by County Agent King and
Forest Supervisor Mcqueen These
two gentlemen demonstrated ability
along the line of theatrical managers
which came as surprise to the large
audience.
BY way of n sober and sedate start
five reels OF moving pictures on sheep
raising were exhibited by J. e. Scott.

den, Utah. The entertainment then
began to assume @ livelier air when
Johnny Dunn and Bud Bodeli step

all heads lucky enough 10 possess
such adornment. These two we'll
known artists OF the fstic arena went
four smashing rounds. 1t was give

not only ability but willingness to
take as well as to give. Tex Rickard
missed something when he neglected
to show these two amateurs at least

greatest number OF bald heads and
tortoise-rim glasses were in evidence
They had some OF the pitchers who
distinguished themselves in the re-

Interesting team gave a wonderful
demonstration Of their skill at the
piano, and being the possessors OF
magnificent voices they furnished en-
ltertainment which brought forth
storms OF applause. One OF the girls
earnestly endeayored 10 induce a GER

the audience 10 tell a story The
bishop declined and the young lady
was so pesistent as TO attempt to en-
brace the bishop IN her appeals 10
