THE MORNING APPEAL, CARSON ON CITY, NEVADA, JANUARY 3, 1906. NEW YEAR WEDDING. SOLD WHISKEY TO INDIANS. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Miss Ida Piatt Becomes the Wife of Dr. W. H. Cavell. Monday, the first day of 1906 wit nessed the wedding of Dr. W. H. Cav ell and Miss Ida Piatt, which was one of the social events in the history of this city. Both of the contracting parties, being popular and residents of the city, and by their popularity numbered scores of intimate friendi, the wedding naturally excited more than common interest. On account of the many invitations Masonic Hall was used for the pu--pose, Rev. H. H. Ramsey of the Epis copal Church performing the prei:y church wedding ceremony. T'.ie church was decorated in a most taste ful and beautiful manner for the occa sion. Dr. J. W. Likens of San Cisco acted as best man, coming 10 this city for that purpose. The bride is one of the best known and popular young ladies of this city where she grew to womanhood. Sli? is accomplished in many ways an i has taken a leading part in Eastern Star work, which has helped add to her popularity. Dr. Cavell came to this city a num-1 ber of years ago and in fact has made ; it his home since he started in nis j professional engagements. He, by hi"? skill and knowledge of his profession. has built up an enviable practice and i$ considered c-e cf Carson's staum-h business men. The bride was attended by tno Misse Woodbury, Murphy. Thompson and Cowing, while Miss Bessie Flait, sister to the bride, was the Maid of Honor. The flower girls were Miss Neva and Amy Piatt. After the ceremony a weddh'g breakfast followed which was a most happy repast as toasts aid good wish es followed in rapid succession, li J was half past three before the hapny j event came to a close and the newly) wedded people left their friends, '.n j the evening they departed for Southern j California where they will spend sev-; eral weeks when thye will return to take up their residence in this city. STOCK ON THE BOOM. Cash Boy Hits .the Ledge .and thj Prices Move Up. Yesterday word was received in this city that a ledge had been cut in the Cash Boy mine at Tonopah. The result of the News was the stirring tip of prices and the stock jumped ten points before the stock board closed. Carsonites are deeply interested in the property and a number of large blocks of the stock are held here. Cash Boy is a very favorably sit uated claim as it is in line with all the big mines and is considered "in side" ground. The shaft is equipped wTth a steam hoist capable of sink ing over a thousand feet and arrange ments to that end have been made The stock is all held by Nevada peo ple, and the fact that it is only ir- corporatde for five hundred thousand shares makes it doubly valuable. It certainly looks like aboom in this line. North Star was also awake yester day and the prices are gradually re covering from the late dull market. North Star is held by the thousands, of shares in this city and should it boom there will be several forutnes cleaned up. ., O-O "Vy Fine Ice. r Harry Millard is filling Andy Todd' ice house with some elegant ice. it is nearly a foot thick and as clear i s a crystal.
