Rising River and Busy Town Ahead in Elko County
The river has risen steadily over the past days as Elko County towns anticipate a flood of visitors next week. Local businesses report activity with painters and tailors busy despite hard times while strangers arrive from Kennedy and Ogden. The Elko peace justice resigns amid civic humor, and plans to clean streets before visitors arrive are urged. The Plummer Leonard Perry shooting case proceeds, while cinnabar claims near Wadsworth attract attention. A Winnemucca drama on Henrietta is set for next week, and wildflowers bloom in canyons and sand hills. Joe Knowles recovers from a leg wound at the railroad hospital.
