Nevada Officials Chronicle Local Weddings Swindles and Industry
The Nevada Representative reports the June wedding of Howard Sowers and Pearl Gretsinger at the Gretsinger home in Nevada with Rev. W. B. Sanford officiating. The groom and bride plan a farm home north of town. The issue recounts a string of incidents including Logan Olinger’s severe thumb injury, Alderman and Simser’s gold panning demonstration on a North and South Slide Placer claim near Yrekta California, and a suspected swindle involving G. W. Dyer and con men using Ames bank checks. Also covered are community boilerplate notices, a warning about doorstep swindlers, and a summary of the Bement Users Convention proceedings and cement industry papers in Ames with a call for state funding for testing laboratories.
