RENO
THE HOLY BIBLE I quote the following:
"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it came to pass
that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some
uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and
give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
"And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another
man's wife."
From the fifth book of Moses, Deuteronomy, Chapter XXIV.

INTRODUCTORY
The magic little word "Reno" makes a smile creep over the face of

learned to understand its deeper meaning, and it is therefore that I am
able to uphold my intimate conviction in an attempt to change the
world's opinion of Reno and its laws from ridicule to admiration. And
if my book has any reason for being, it lies in this attempt.
Those whom fate forces to visit "the big little city on the Truckee
River" will find in this book a great deal of carefully gathered
