Goldwater originally ordered them out by noon Saturday, but River Inn owner Charles Schlegal won the residents a reprieve until Monday, and the weekend's heavy snowstorm extended the deadline another day. "I'm staying until I finish paying off my people. I'm staying until they tell me I have to leave, even though I wish I was home for Christmas," said Mrs.

Beedon, who has spent most of the last week trying to find new homes for the River Inn residents. "The check was a very welcome Christmas present. But it is still very sad. This is Christmas, but it hasn't been a very happy Christmas for the people that used to live here." To make matters worse in the final days of the hotel, employees did not receive their final paychecks. Mrs.

Beedon has been scrounging during the last few days to pay off her employees. "I collected $1,000 from one man settling his bill. I also sold about $1,000 worth of meat back to the meat company for $500. I just about got everything settled except for $160. 1 haven't accepted any pay, and I won't until everyone is settled.

Offers of help and assistance have been coming into the resort hotel during the past few days, Mrs. Beedon said. MGM Grand Hotel has offered spaces in their recreational vehicle park at a cut rate. Others have supplied groceries and opened their homes to the displaced River Inn residents. Residents have been leaving the park gradually as Mrs.

Beedon placed them with persons offering rental spaces elsewhere. "The MGM has been very helpful," she said. "We've had lots and lots of phone calls offering to help locate my people. "A man from The Trap bar came by with tears in his eyes and invited everyone to a buffet Christmas dinner at The Trap. It was a very nice gesture.

We're all going to be able to stay together at Christmas." The Christmas crisis for the dozen or so residents remaining at the bankrupt River Inn hotel-casino spa west of Reno apparently has a happy ending, at least until New Year's Day. The residents of the picturesque hotel and adjacent recreational vehicle park had been faced with eviction from their homes for last two days. But Wednesday former River Inn bartender Paul Corban wrote a $500 check to Valley Bank guaranteeing payment of sewage and power bills at the River Inn through Jan. 1. The payment, according to Corban and former River Inn manager Lorri Beedon, will allow the people still living at the hotel on the Truckee River to stay on the property until after Christmas.

Reno attorney Steve Harris, the court appointed trustee of the property, issued an ultimatum Tuesday to employees plus a score of non-employees living semi-permanently in the park to vacate the premises by noon. But the electricity and sewage had not been shut off Wednesday night as had been feared, and a dozen or so families were still there early this morning, according to Mary De Lisle, recreational vehicle park manager. An additional half-dozen or so employees remained in hotel rooms or their own trailers. At least eight of the remaining residents are children, Corban said. And it was because of those children that Corban offered to pay the $500 to give them a place to stay until after Christmas.

"I did what I could for the kids," Corban, 55, said Wednesday. "A lot of people are worried about themselves. A lot of people don't worry about the kids. But what kind of Christmas is it going to be for them without any hot water or heat. I'm worried about what's going to happen to those little ones.

That's why I wrote the check. I don't care about the money." Corban quit his job at the River Inn when Federal Judge Bert Goldwater ordered the hotel to shut its doors at 5 p.m. Friday. The River Inn was home to about 35 employees who lived in hotel rooms or Li Two Minimus' -7 Two-Way Speaker Systems in Tis" Cast Aluminum Enclosures LAB 53 Three-Speed Changer with Base.
