IMPORTANT IF TRUE
A Correspondent Tells One on
Brother" Beck

Editor Bragg:-Please accept congrat-
ulations. 1t is undoubtedly due to your
effective missionary work that Brother
Beck was enabled to see the error of his
way and become devout member of one
of the leading religious denominations in
the United States.
An effort should be made to get our
converted brother to conduct revival
services at Carson City during the leg
islative session. He could act as one OF
the Chaplains to the Legislature and
make all necessary expenses in that way,
and could dispense with the taking up
of a collection at the revival services.
This feature of the revival would have
very beneficial effect, for it has been
the general experience at revivals that
those who are most easily converted are
usually short of ready cash.
Many ola rimers are taking keen in
terest in religious matters, and with a
little missionary work many of them will
follow their sanctified brother into the
fold.
Do not get discouraged at the small
financial receipts of the holy work. Many
of us will probably get our reward in the
next world. In the meantime let us hope
for the best and occasionally chant that
encouraging hymn:
There is happy land
Far, far away"
Relgiously yours,
EVANGELIST.

thusiastic meeting of townspeople In the

this place, says the Churchill Standard.
Senator Williams addressed the meet
ing and stated that during his recent
visit to San Francisco he called upon
Chief Engineer Hood of the Hartman
lines to learn if possible whether or not
the proposed cutoff from Hazen would
pass through Fallon. Mr.. Williams said
he was given some encouragement and
he believed that If some inducements
were offered the great corporation it
would favor our people.

right of way from Fallon to Hazen free
of expense to the company.
A committee was appointed to gather
data pertaining to this section and to
forward it to the company as soon as
possible.
The advisability of organizing a Cham
Der of Commerce was also discussed and
it was the unanimous opinion of the
meeting that such an organization would
be of great benefit to this section. The
Chair appointed committee to interview

SCATH|NG REPORT
OF GRAND JURY
Washoe County Officers Held
Responsible for Crimes
at Derby

The Washoe county Grand Jury, which
by making a report strongly condemning
the wide-open conditions that have pre-
vailed In the city of Reno and the terri
BILE frenzy of crime at Derby The jury
expressed its displeasure at the condition
of affairs In strong terms and has direct
ed the District Attorney to prefer charges
against all officers who hereafter refuse
to enforce the law. The jury also made
other important recommendations.
The jury says a reign of robbery and
murder at Derby is a reproach to the
county and the officials who are sup
posed to maintain order have grossly ig-
nored their duties. The Commissioners
are advised that the notorious dives are
closed. The failure OF the officers to en-
force the midnight closing law as applied
to saloons and gambling houses also
comes In for condemnation. The prac-
tice of conducting lotteries contrary to
the State and Federal laws is also con-
demned.
After devoting several hundred words
to scorching the officers the jurymen say
a plot is on foot to repeal the laws re-
stricting the gambling and saloon inter-
ests, and the members of the Washoe
county delegation are urged TO oppose
any such effort and to stand for the
OF the country. the home, the taxpayers
and the decent people of the community

DENTAL WORK
THE ONLY CLUE
Identity Of Murdered Woman
Probably Established-Her
Sisters Story

woman was found on a lonely mountain
near Colorado Springs. A murder had
evidently been committed, but no clue
to the identity of the murderer or his
victim was discovered, excepting the
dental work In the woman's mouth. This
work was exceptional and has led to the
probable discovery of the young womans
identity and may point out her murderer
A dispatch from Santa Barbara says:
Mrs. Bessie Bouton is probably the
name of the young woman who was so
mysterously murdered on Cutler noun
tain. near Colorado Springs, Col, more
than a week ago, and strong circumstan-
tial evidence points to her murderer as
Milton Franklin of New Hartford, Conn.
who is now said to be in England, his
motive for the crime being to recover
between $1,000 and 5000 worth of jewelry
given to Mrs. Bouton when the two were
engaged to be married
Mrs. Bouton's sister. Mrs Chas. Nell
son. resides in this city, and when seen
yesterday gave her version of the affair
as follows: Yes. l believe Bessie is the
woman murdered near Colorado Springs.
The description of the dental work in her
mouth is identical with that done for her.
Last August my sister and Milton Frank
lin made tour of the Pacific Coast and
spent month here with us. Mr.. Frank
lin paid all the expenses of the trip, be-
sides presenting Bessie with jewelry val
ued at from 5000 to 5000.
After leaving here they went to Cata-
lima islands, where they spent three
weeks, later returning East. About six
weeks ago / received a letter from my
sister from Colorado Springs telling me
she had quarreled with Mr.. Franklin and
that the engagement was broken off, and
that Mr.. Franklin would leave at once
for England. where he intended to re-
main.
Il believe that Milton Franklin muir
dered Bessie to obtain possession of the
valuables that he had given her. This
morning 1 received a letter from my
mother from Syracuse, N. Y, which stat
ed that she believed it was Mrs. Bouton
who was murdered and that she had
spoken to the police of her belief
The mother, in Syracuse N. Y, says:
Bessie was married four years ago to
Bouton, but only lived with him short
time. after which she secured employ
ment with the manufacturing chemists,
j. Parker Pry & Co., New York. Dur
ing her travels she became acquainted
with Milton Franklin, who was posing as
an invalid Englishman of wealth. Last
cuse. She told us she was engaged to
marry him and exhibited at least 5000
worth of diamonds and jewelry he had
given her.
"In August they went to California.
October I'd l had letter from Bessie at
Colorado Springs. She wrote that she
and Franklin had quarreled and that he
had gone back to England. Sire asked
for money. 1 telegraphed her 5000 and
received an answer. in which she said she
would repay it. 1 answered that letter,
but have not heard from her since.
Franklin was six feet three, about 2S
years old, and wore diamonds. I am
daughter. The dental work and other
descriptions tally exactly with that of
Bessie"

Probably No Chances.

The continuance of the stage routes
running from Cresco to Elma and
from Cresco to Riceviile are somewhat
In state OF uncertainty. 1t was at
one time announced that the Cresco.
Riceville route would be discontinued
owing to the road being already GOV.
cred by rural routes excspt for q short
distance, but such move was met
with such a storm Of protests that II
is now reported that the route will be
continued as at present and that the
course OF the ruralroute running from
Riceville to Saratoga will be changed
to another road. 1t was also ar,
n0unced that the Cresco- Elma route
would be discontinued and bids were
asked for carrying daily mail from
Lourdes to Elma and return, but We
are informed that the bids made was
rejected as unsatisfactory, and as this
change was also met with a petition
of remonstrance, the present arrange.
ment will doubtless continue.

NeN Invention.

Last Saturday We were shown the
latest product OF Lorens Swensons d
inventive genius. It is q new style
treadle for sewing machines, whereby
dead centers are entirely overcome,
making 1t unnecessary to touch the
wheel to start the machine, and en-.
abling 1T to run at any speed without
danger of sstopping on q dead center
when run slowly, and with an even
motion. This last feature will be ap-
preciated by every lady who has been
annoyed with the jerky motion of a
slowly run sewing machine when
doing the fancy work made possible
with the various attachments.
Mr.. Swenson has applied for a patent
on his invention and should make
some money out Of it. He tells us
that several years ago he was offered
sl00, 900 by the Singer Sewing Machine
Go. for an improvement over the old
style treadle, and when he sees the
simple little contrivance he now has,
he wonders why he did not think of it
before.
