A 35-year-old Minden man was arrested early Saturday for suspicion of felony third DUI and eluding while under the influence, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

Anna Harris was the first woman in the County of Douglas who was granted a Sole Proprietorship License. A Chautauquan since the age of 13, Debilynn Smith, who portrays Anna Harris, is a "Living Historian" and also makes her own period correct attire for the several characters she depicts.

Some years ago I was invited to participate in a Chautauqua out in Warrensburg, Missouri, alongside Harry Truman and George Washington Carver. We had a grand time of it, and enjoyed each other’s company ever more when we were off duty. In our Warrensburg wanderings I happened to notice a statue of a dog, a hound dog named, “Old Drum.” I thought it quaint to have a statue of a hunting dog in the town square, and attributed it to the soft hearts of the good citizens of Warrensburg. They even sent me home with a pin of Old Drum, dated 1870.
