law enforcement. We are not native
sons of Nevada, or anything in par
ticular. but we are OF one mind on
the subject that We are all especially
fitted for the great responsibilities
about TO be reposed in US. As to re-
Enumeration I can only speak for my
self, but I would not let that stand
in the way. If Mr.. Springmeyer puts
rs on the county payroll, with a nod
crate per diem of twenty or so. all
well and good. OF course it is not
expected that men of extraordinary
qualifications can work for the hun
dred and fifty that ordinary deputy
sheriffs get, but for appearance sake
IL he wants to have it published that
way in the bills allow ed we'll not
object as long as we get the maZuma
and make White Pine county like a
powder house.
Give me four more deputy sher-
IFS in White Pine county, a%i,propri-
ate $4,000 and pass the Volstead
act as a state law for Nevada and l
will show that ! can ave mems souls
by legal enactment says Mr. Spring
meyer. That's the point exactly Sal
walton is our forte-our long suit.
Give us the jobs and Wei guarantee
to depopulate the lad place. George.
You never knew that ALI Tamblyn
was a doctor. dill you
AaTIiI ,1Nrar ala astIEa AfaF I
know of a place where a Let Of poo
pie call him Doc and have paid
him for d~oetoring Them the same ~
any other doctor. That Is not ir
Ely but he has been several other
places besides Ely and has had all
sorts of yicissitudes and experiences.
In the palmy days of Tcnopah
Tambiyn was a sort of business man
ager for the late DIR. c. L. Hammond.
He kept Hammond's looks. collected
his accounts and rode the doctors
brown charger around the streets
when Hammond was not riding the
beautiful animal. This horse would
make a fine story himself. They
used to tell it, but I never saw
the proof-although ] didn't doubt
it. knowing the horse as I did-that
he used to be the leader Of n band
of wild horses on the Ralston desert,
a stallion and a holy terror. He sure
looked il and kesides his looks he
was some stopper. In that connec-
tion, in addition to the horses good
looks and wonderful gait, was the
great figure cut by Hammond. Peo-
pie who knew him will keep you up
all night to tell you he was the finest
physician and surgeon in Nevada,
either then. before or after. / can
testify to a lot of that and to the
further fact that he was positively
the finest physical specimen in the
state, that he put up the best appear
anee, especially as he sat on that
horse-this was before the day when
doctors rode in fiyvers.
Hammond had a good deal of con
tempt for most Of mis- competitors in
Tonopah. He had a way of sending
Tamblyn around to look after his
patients when he was away or lin
disposed. Once a Goldfield miner
was in the Tonopah hospital and
Hammond was about 10 leave for
San Francisco. lie told the miner
he would send a man to look after
him. TamDlyn had helped at many
operations and had been operated on
himself. Hammond told his assistant
to make his calls in the morning
when Cowden. the hospital doctor.
was not there. Tamblyn pulled the
patient through and when the latter
was leaving he said:
We'll, Doc. how much is your
billes
ALI was equal TO the occasion. He
knew 1t would not do to make no
charge and uncove himself, so he
cut II In about half. The miner paid
II and said he was the most reason
able doctor he had ever employed.
To show his gratitude he gave Tam
blyn n fine specimen of Mohawk high
grade. which Doc kept for several
years until it finally was stolen.
Another time when Hammond was
"indisposed he had in his care n new
born infant suffering from blood
poisoning. He sent Tamblyn up that
day to make his call for him. A new
pus gathering showed itself. Tam
blyn Immediately used the knife and
relieved the infant. Going back to
the Office Hammond asked how the
child was, etc When Tamblyn told
him he had to use the knife IL
brought Hammond out of his indis-
position, so great was the shock. But
there was no for fright. Tam
blyn had used the surgeons knife
many times before and had 1t used
on him every day for ninety days,
while under a surgeons care when
he got hurt in Wyoming years before.
Seems strange that New Jersey
should be eager to get the Dempsey
Willard fight. Hasn't II had enough
murders lately?'
