TRAGEDY NEAR RENO
Four Persons Drowned While Croes;ro
Truckee River at Lauahtons,

RENO, New. May ia shocking
tragedy occurred at Laughtons about
five miles west Of Reno about O'CLOCK
Sunday afternoon in which four PEI
sons lost their lives by drowning in
the Truckee river.
The four victims were Morris j.
cobs, Mrs. Eide, Miss Meta McMil.aa
and commercial traveller for an cas-
tern firm. The party attempted TO
cross the Truckee in a car suspendc
from a wire. rope spanning the river
at that point. The car sped rapidly
down the incline of the cable from the
north side of the river which is boom
ing bank fufi and when it reached the
middle of the stream, the weight Of
the four occupants bent the wire rope
to an extent that submerged the ca:
and they were carried rapidly down
the river by the swift current Morris
Jacobs made heroic effort to save
Miss Mcmillan and succeeded in get
| ting her within fifteen feet of the
| shore when she grasped him around
| the neck and arms and both went to
the river bottom. The body of Mrs
Eide was found last evening a half
mile below the place where the car
with it's occupants was submerged.
| Miss Meta Mcmillan was a native Of
Virginia, where she was a general
| favorite and resided in that city 10
to few years ago. 1t is said she was
the fiancee of Morris Jacobs, who ma,ie
such a gallant attempt to save her
life.
The body of Mrs. EIDE was recovered
a half hour later about half a mile
from the scene of the tragedy. The
body of Miss Mcmillan was seen to
owe the Riverside dam yesterday az
ternoon but has not yet been recoy-
cred. HUNDREDS are searching for the
bodies of three other unfortunates anil
nets and dynamite are being used in
the hopes of bringing them to the
surface A reward of 5000 has been
offered for the parties recovering the
bodies.
The city is in a general state II
mourning, business being practically
suspended; flags are flying at hall
mast and all are aiding in the scarf
for the unfortunate victims.
