tiER SCREAMS SAVED HER LIFE
Another Attempt at Murder
in Reno

. The screams of a woman is all that
prevented what would have undoubted-
ly been a cruel murder in the red
light district Saturday night. says the
Reno Journal To that scream wo-
man calling herself Bertha can as
ascribe the fact that her dead body is
not found in little crib in the ten
derloin district this morning.
The woman was attacked by an un-
known man last night. He entered
her room. grabbed her by the throat
and threw her against red hot stove.
The woman in falling screamed. This
attracted two women from adjoin- -ng
cribs
They rushed into the house in time
to see Bertha lying across the stove,
her clothing afire. The dly ruff
fan holding her released his grasp
made an attempt to hold him. and fail
ing blew their police whistles. officers
Tatum and Berry responded twenty
minutes afterward and after the fell
low had made good his escape.
The woman who was attacked was
not seriously injured. Her burning
clothing was extinguished without
much trouble. Her throat is slightly
marked. but oeyond this she is un-
hurt
1t is generally conceded that the
fellow. who was sober appa rently. in
tended to murder her.

Built Through This Place

A special dispatch to the Ogden Jour-
says:
1t is not generally known that the
Western Pacific has made two surveys
from California across the Black Rock
desert in Nevada, but such is the fact.
One line runs from Susanvilie, ealifor-
mia, within about ten miles of Chico
over the Sierrras at a point about 5000
feet elevation and in direct line TO
Winnemucca. The other route is by
way of Beckwithl pass and has It's en-
trance into Winnemucca.
\ Last fall a corps of engineers under
Assistant Engineer HARLOW started
from Winnemucca and ran a line west
ward to Susanville. When it was
completed the party came back over
the same route under the leadership
of ]. C. Arnold. Changes were made
in the first line run. The surveyors
completed their work yesterday, drove
to the Humboldt House and departed
on No. for San Francisco
Assistant Engineer Arnold was seen
in this city and. speaking of the new
proposed road, said that 1t certainly
would be built: that George Gould was
the power behind the throne. and when
he undertook anything it would be nm
ished and not in a halfway manner.
AS to the route, it is not settled. but
everything is favorabl e to the Susan
villel line.
Active operations will be begun In
the spring throughout Nevada on con-
struction work.
