Senior Class to Present
Play Friday, December 21st

One OF the leading events of the
holiday season in Gardnerville and
surrounding sections will be the de.
lightful comedy-farce presented by
the senior class of the Douglas
County High School. THE Arrival
of Kitty" will be staged at the school
auditorium Friday night, December
2lst, and 1t is an assumed fact that
the cast Will play to crowded
house, for the play has proven itself
a decided success where ever played
There can be no doubt as to the
unqualified success of the play when
the calibre of the cast, the talent
and general ability OF the players is
taken into account. Centered in the
senior class is found a group of
players with not only natural ability,
but with a world of latent powers
as players before the footlights.
The play centers about the trials
of William Winkler in his attempt to
get his ward, Jane. married off to
Benjamin More. which by a provis-
ion of the will of James father he
will receive $4,000 providing he has
his niece married of in the course
of given time. Bobby Baxter comes
in for his share of the fun, as well
as affording the uncle unlimited
trouble with his impersonation of the
naughty Kitty, the actress. Ting, a
product of Yale's brain factory also
adds spice to the comedy through
his clever take off of the part of the
hotel boss. and his deftly plotting to
help his college ehum win his covet
ed prize, the hand of his fiancee
Jane. Ting also plots in the seeur-
ing cf a husband for the old maid
OF Winkler, Aunt Jane.
wherein Winkler again receives
another cool $4,000. Then, but
really you shouldn't be told any
more. for that will spoil all the fun.
Let is be said that the play is in
tensely interesting. as 1t has the
spice of humor that the average play
fails In. The quicks and turns are
and surprising, keeping
he audience in suspence through
out tie time, until at the very end
when the solutions to the confusing

MYSTERY MAY
BE CLEARED UP

A couple of months ago Sparks
people spending Sunday In Hope Val
ley discovered a human hand which
appeared to be that of a woman. The
gruesome find was turned over to an
officer and an investigation that fail
ed to develop clues to foul play was
conducted.
A short time ago Salvation Army
officer scouting around on the noun
tain side near Tonopah discovered a
charred hand and other portions OF
"a human body. The bones were sent
to the state university for examin-
alton by chemists in the hope of dis
covering something that would aid in
unraveling the mystery.
The News has been informed that
officers interested in the Tonopah
find recalled the discovery of wom-
ans hand in Hope Valley and engag-
ed in an investigation to ascertain il
the hands found might have been
from the same person. 1t is argued
in some quarters that finding one
hand in Hope Valley lends support
to theory that the hand and bones
were secreted near Tonopah by part
les who were travelling by auto and
who made use of the Tonopah camp
ground.
Recently the sheriff of Alpine
county, it is reported, was requested
make further search and inyestiga-
ton in Hope Valley. The ground
where the hand was found was care
fully examined, but it was evident
that wherever the grass had been
disturbed it had been done by per-
sons digging for fish bait.
So far it is. said, the authorities
have failed to connect in one tragedy
the hands found in Tonopah and
Hope Valley. Neither have they been
able to unearth any tangible clue
in either case.-Carson News.
