SHOT HIMSELF
WHILE DELIRIOUS
at Verdi=-= Well Known
i'm GdrdnerViIIe.

Michael Nicholson, aged % years
well known man of Gardnerville, shot
and killed himself at Verdi last Mon
day evening, death following almost
instantly. The act, it is believed, was
the result of dependency, Nicholson
having been in poor health for several
months.
Nicholson had been in America
about year, having settled at Gard
nerville, where he worked as laborer
until several months ago, when he
went to Reno and took a position at
the Monarch lunch counter, working
for his uncle, Hans Andersen. He left
two weeks ago for Verdi, and was liv-
ing there with his aunt at the time he
took his life He worked as laborer.
The dead man was unmarried and
belonged to the local Danish Lodge.
He was known to nearly all the Dan
ish residents of this city and vicinity
and was quite popular with them, as
he was a youth of good habits, indus

BUILDING ANOTHER
RESERVOIR.
East Fork Farmers Increasing
Their System of Storing
Water.

1t is evident that the East Fork
farmers have given up all hope of
Uncle Sam ever installing the much
talked of storage reservoirs at the
head of the Carson river and have
started the work on their own accord.
A large force of men is now employed
constructing a reservoir in the Car
son watersheds az well as enlarging
the capacity of the smaller reservoirs
that were built several years ago
When this work is completed it will
furnish an ample supply of water for
the land now under cultivation during
dry seasons.
This year, the second and third
crops were irrigated almost entirely
with storage water, and now the farm
ers are more determined than ever to
build a reservoir that will supply the
required amount of water to insure
good crops during dry seasons.
The farmers interested do not make
much noise, but in quite way they
accomplish much.

was found on the street last Sunday

She WAS FROM ARIZONA

\ Miss Kahn arrived in Reno recent
ly from Arizona and became a student
at the state University. Thursday
evening she was elected a member lof
one of the college societies and during
the initiation she was told to sing She
refused and was thrown into pond
and then allowed to scramble out. She
was again ordered to sing, and on re-
fnsing was again thrown into the wa
ter. On being taken ont she still re-
fused and was again showed into the
water Miss Kain was in a terrible
rage, and freeing herself from her tor
mentors, rushed down town. She pro-
cured a ~ calibre revolver and went
back to the University. She again ap-
peared among the society members
while they were enjoying a laugh at
her expense. Waving the revolver in
the air she shouted, you gang OF
towards, throw me in the water now'
No one seemed anxious to undertake
the job, but every one made hurried
getaway, leaving the gun fighter from
Arizona master of the situation. The
episode created intense excitement at
the University.

Thrown From His Horse.

In an attempt to teach his horse
some automobile sense, Harry
Martin narrowly escaped serious in
jury this week. Harry urged his
horse up to the machine, and without
warning the animal reared and fell
backward, pinning the rider under
meath and strange to say, he came out
of the mixnp unhurt. This same
horse was caught in the milk flood at
the Hidelburg ranch as reported by
Sam Davis, and now it is impossible
to get him near anything that makes
a noise like a skimery.

Last Monday John Farrell was found
dead in the Gardnerville jail by Off

This press prints on both sides,

BAD INDIAN GETS HURT

A young Indian know as Johnson
filled up on fighting dope last Satur-
day night and started out to annilhi-
late the noble Washoe tribe. The first
red man he bumped into was a huskey
but that did not stop Johnson, who
made a noise like bad injun and
sailed into his man with both feet.
After lively mixup that sounded
like Battle mountain cyclone, John
son was discovered in bad condition.
The Indians believe he will die from
his injuries.

A Mystery.

Parts of the horribly mutilated re-
mains of woman were found near
near Tonopah recently. 1t is said the
manner in which the arms and head
were separated from the body would
indicate that the work had been done
by some person with skill equal to a
surgeon.
A rude attempt at burial ofithe re-
mains had been made. A shallow de
preston had been scooped in the
earth and the corpse, minus the head
and arms, placed in the depression
and covered with sew inches of
earth The affair is still a mystery. -

trious and of excellent disposition.
There is no doubt that Nicholson
was delirious from fever when he fired
the bullet into his brain. On September
10 he consulted DIR. Wood of Reno,
in regard to his condition. The ply
sician made a diagnosis of his case
and gave it as his opinion that Mich
elsen was suffering from typhoid fe-
yer. He was advised to go to the home
of one of his friends or to hospital
and take course of treatment, but the
young man seemed TO think that his
trouble was only of passing nature.
He went to Verdi, however, stopping
at the home of his cousin, Latta
Christensen, but did not remain in bed
Several days later one. of his relatives
went to Reno and stated that his
condition might be serious and that
he should be kept in bed and medical
advice secured. Whether or not this
advice was followed is not known.
1.-THE chances are that Nicholson
killed himself while delirious," said
DIR. Wood this morning by last
night his fever must have been high
and while temporarily insane he shot
himselfn

the night. The fact that he was GOV

the report to be muffied and prevented
the household from being aroused.
In addition to his cousin, at whose
house he stayed, Nicholson leaves an
uncle at Verdi, Sorensen Andersen.

al of the unfortunate young man
