3 A SPARKS LEGION OF On their way to Reno and "California points." Jack Dempsey and Hannah Williams stopped in Elko Inn. 11.1. to mir. vujj CUUUKU tills lllUi uutg rled and are expected to reach Reno late this afternoon. They will spend a few days here and at Calneva and; will then go to California before re- turning to Salt Lake City to visit Dempsey's mother.

The Elko wedding came as a surprise and waa not planned by Demp-sey and Miss Williams but an alert police officer, W. W. Cook, who has known Dempsey for twenty years, provided the inspiration for the early morning nuptials. Slipping Into the Mayer hotel early this morning after a night ride across the Salt Lake desert Dempsey registered as "Mike Costello" and Miss Williams algned the register as "Jane Gray." Maurice Cain, Dempsey's business representative, and Mike Cant-well, trainer for Max Baer, were in the party and they also used fictitious names. Officer Cook recognized Dempsey and, after they shook hands, the officer asked the ex-champion if he intended to be married.

Dempsey replied that he intended to wed in Reno or Calneva tonight. "Why not give Elko a break and. be married here?" Cook interjected. "We have had no celebrities here since President Hoover spoke here last November." "How about it, asked Miss Williams. Dempsey FOR WEDDING PROMINENT COUPLE NAMES ENVOYS DECLINES TO TALK ABOUT Divorced at Minden yesterday, Elliott Roosevelt, son of the president, dropped ln on Chicago with a good natured grin today, but wouldn't talk" about Miss Ruth Goo-gins, Texas society girl already here seeing the world's fair, say Associated Press dispatches.

"I'll be here for several days." young Roosevelt said, "but I can't talk about my personal affairs." Roosevelt said his sister, Anna Roosevelt Dall, would Join him in Chicago. He would not discuss the probability of seeing Miss Googlns, whose name has been linked with his since divorce proceedings were started between the Roosevelts. The divorce was granted yesterday to Mrs. Roosevelt, the former Elizabeth Donner of Philadelphia. She could not be located at the Chicago hotel where she and her mother had been staying since July 9, but she was quoted in the Herald and Examiner as having said yesterday to attaches of the place: "We won't be back tonight for we're going to meet Mr.

Elliott in the morning." "I've heard reports that I've already been married," Roosevelt said at the air field. "That is all wet." The broken marriage of young Roosevelt and Miss Donner was Just another "decree granted" in Neveda's court records. Hundreds of Reno residents, including many members of the divorce colony, were at the air field to watch the departure of Roosevelt last night, a few hours after the divorce was granted at Minden. Roosevelt was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.

Sam Piatt. Carrying Pistol Causes His Arrest Said to have been carrying an unloaded revolver, Basil Plccinlnl, twenty-eight years old, was arrested by the police last night. At first he i was charged with carrying a con- cealed weapon, but this morning the charge was changed to one of vag- rancy, and Picclninl was ordered to leave the city for at least a year, WEDDING FALLON, July 19. (Special) A meeting of the depositors of the Churchill County Bank, who are now the stockholders ln the Churchill County Bank Mortgage Corporation, which has taken over the bank's assets, will be held on August 11 to perfect the organization. By that time it Is hoped by the heads of the depositors' committee and the directors of the mortgage company, who were appointed by Judge Guild, that a plan for opening the bank will be ready to present to the depositors.

Whether sufficient new capital can be secured to open a bank and have it act as a liquidating agency for the mortgage company is one of the questions being considered. George Coverston, E. B. Loring, C. E.

Howard, Joseph Eason and H. Wendt were appointed by the courtJP" as directors of the corporation to act until the stockholders meet at which time a board will be elected and officers named. The Churchill County Bank has total deposits of approximately after deducting offsets of which about $170,000 is ln public funds. Although the state bank superintendent declined to recognize any preference claims, except for trust funds, and the supreme court ruled in the Lyon county case that deposits of the county treasurer are not preferred, the preference status of other public deposits in the Fallon bank is yet to be determined. The Truckee-Carson Irrigation district has a deposit of approximately $25,000 in the bankof which about $12,000 belongs to the federal government, it is contended.

The state treasurer's deposit in the Fallon bank was secured by tbonds and practically all of the deposit has been paid and the bonds returned to the bank. Delegates to the annual convention of the Nevada department of the American Legion were elected by Duby Reld post No. 30 of Sparks at a meeting held in the city hall last night. The convention is to be held ln Sparks next month. Sparks post chose the following delegates: Roy Schoffstoll, Everett R.
