Grading on Valley Railroad
Commonwealth Men TO
be Employed.

The first shove'ful of earth was
turned on the Carson valley railroad
yesterday morning and now all doubt
as to its construction must be dis
pensed.
Shattuck & Desmond, the contract
ors, landed their outfits in Carson
Tuesday evening and yesterday morn
ing three crews of men were put to
work. In the Kirman field a crew is
working on the bridges, another is
is grading near the old flume at Car
son while the third crew is reported to
be in the neighborhood of the Sheep
camp. More men will be put to work
as soon as their services can be secur-
ed and in few days at least four hun
dred men and teams will be rushing
ing the road to completion. The
terminus of the road for the road at
present is generally conceded to be at
or near Gardnerville.
The move means much to Douglas
county. 1t means that one of the
richest sections of Nevada will be
brought right to front seat in the
dress circle of civilization. When

GOOD Mine FOUND
NEAR VALLEYS

A Tonopah mining man, whose name
we were unable to secure, accompan-
led by Tony, an old Swede who is en-
ployed at the Valley Springs recently
took prospecting trip over the hills
near the resort and discovered ledge
of good looking rock but little was
thougl of it at the time. Upon their
return the Springs the mining man
proposed that they play game of
cards the winner to take the mine
while the one less fortunate should
pay for the necessary location papers
and for the first assay. Tony accept
ed the challenge and succeeded in
winning the game. The sample of
ore was sent to a Carson assayer and
when the returns were received the
parties concerned were much surpris-
ed to learn that the rock carried
values to the extent of ss7 per ton.
1t is quite probable that extensive
work will be done on this claim dur
ing the coming winter which may de-
velop the fact that these two men were
playing game of chance for much
larger stakes than they had ever i'm
apined

GEO. SPRlNGMEYER
BID FAREWELL

TT farewell party given in honor
Of go. w. Springmeyer last Friday
night, was, without exception, the
enjoyable and largest attended party
fyiven in Gardnerville during the past
two years. "What large and jolly
C.rowdn and ''where did they all come
frorn7'' was the first words which
vent 10 break the ice to pleasantcon-
versat n M one glided around the
hall wit-A his partner to the sweet
strains of mnlic OF the Gardneryille
orchestra. For the time being, every
one forgot their cares and troubles
and attended this party to make
Geo. springmeyer's last night in
Gardnerville one not to be forgotten.
During the evening, VIM. Dang
berg, whose duty it was to make
every one happy, called upon MIR.
Springmeyer for few remarks, who
responded with a few we'll chosen
words, bade his friends good-by and
stated that although leaving home
and friends was always very sad oc-
currance to him, he always looked
forward to the time he would return
and renew the friendship Of those
who are SO dear to him. His words
greatly touched his assembled friends,
as by the sparkle of the speakers tear
stained eyes ana quivering voice,
told too plainly that every word came
from the bottom of an honest heart.
A dainty lunch was served in the
hall by Mr.. Brown and was pronounc-
ed as being the "best ever" After
a few old time songs by a number lof
young ladies, dancing was again taken
up which concluded by all present
biding the young man good-by with
hearty hand shake, and wishing him
untold success while pursuing his
studies at the Harvard university for
which place he departed the next
morning.

WORK HAS STARTED =
Called Out By
Fire.

Wednesday evening shortly before
seven O'Clock the words fret fire! fire!
coming from dozens of throats threw
our citizens into state of great ex-
element. Pete Rahbeck' residence on
School street was reported to be on
fire and everyone was rushing madly
to the scene of the fire without one
thought of the fire-fghting apparatus.
However, five men, two of which have
not one dollar invested in Gardner
vile property, but by their act show
ed they had the interest of our town
at heart, tugged at the engine and
hose cart and did manage to land it
where it would be of some service.
Rahbeck's chimney was on fire and
a heavy wind was blowing, carrying
the burning embers in all directions.
The hay stack belonging to M. Krum-
es was covered with sparks and was
only prevented from bursting out in
flames by timely help. 1t required
considerable effort on the part of r.
q. Ward to keep the dry grass in his
yard from catching fire. The fire in
Rahbeck's chimney was finally put out
with no damage resulting.
Had the fire got start in that end
of town, the heavy wind would have
carried the flames into the very heart
of our little town and then it could
be truly said that the fire en-
gine is an expensive luxury''
We have stated from time to time
through these columns of the needs
of a well organized fire company.
The cause of lack of interest in this
question which is of vital importance
to each and every property holder
within the borders of this village,
is not known to the writer,
but we do know that every citizen is
only too well aware OF the needs of
a fire organization with System to
battle with the flames which may
break forth at any moment.

Two Years Fer
Gillette.

The Jury in the Gillette case re-
turned verdict of guilty as charged
last Friday and Judge Murphy senten-
ced the accused man to two years in
the Nevada State prison.
The case came up for hearing in
the District court at Genoa last Thurs
day afternoon and as the defendant
did not possess the necessary funds to
secure the services of an attorney he
was furnished one by the State. At
torney Woodburn was employed by
Mrs. Montague to assist District At
torney Brockliss in the prosecution.
Difficulty was experienced in secur-
ing jury, as ID. W. Virgin, attorney
for the defendant, endeavored to dis
qualify each trial juror on the ground
that the reading of the article appear
ing in the Record-Courier in a pre-
vious issue, relating to the crime, that
he, (the juror must have a fixed
opinion as to the guilt of the accused
man. Judge Murphy informed the
venerable attorney that the fact of
having read newspaper article rela-
ting to a crime, did not exempt him
from jury duty on said case.
The required number of jurymen
were finally secured and the trial pro-
ceeded. The few witnesses told their
story af how Gillette had entered the
Owl saloon and made threats against
the life of Mrs. Montague and how he
locked her in q room and with a
pistol attempted to shoot her.
Tho defense claimed that Gillette
was incompetent to use the gun that
was in his possession, owing to its
complicated mechanism, it being a late
style automatic gun, and he could not
get shell into the main chamber.
With this fiimsy plea, he tried to
convince the jury that his client did
not intend to commit crime.
On cross examination, attorney
Woodburn had little trouble in draw
ing from the lips of the prisoner the
true facts of the case. He also told
the story OF how he had taken the
young girl from a respectable home
and forced, or allowed, her to lead a
life of shame. The manner in which
he told the story showed that he was
lacking of even one spark of manhood
and that the brute instinct had fully
asserted itself in his wrstchsd make
up.
The Jury, after listening to the
evidence introduced in the case and
by the idiosyncrasies displayed by the
accused man, lost little time in bring
ing. in their charge of guilt.

ESCAPED

Sunday morning John Reid, a pris-
oner confined in the pententiary and
sent there for an attempt to murder,
scaled the walls of the prison.
Read, who was employed in the
bakery, selected an opportune time
and about o'clock Sunday made
his way clear. Re evidently left the
bake shop and then scaled a pipe
leading to the roof, where he erept
along and went through the back
yard and there into Smiths field, tax
ing a course toward Clear Creek can
yon, as his tracks were found in that
locality.
Trailers were Immediately put out
and the man was followed as far as
Pedrolli's ranch, when darkness came
on and the search had to be given
up for a time. Monday additional
trailers were put out.
He is fourteen-year man, sent up
from Washoe county for shooting a
man with whom he was travelling in
a box car. He was arrested in Reno
and identified as the man who commit
ed the crime by a third occupant of
the car.

one stops to think that one of the
finest railroad propositions ever con-
eeived has been open for 25 years and
the field not occupied, it seems like a
dream and as if capital was not so
keen for paying investments as it has
the reputation of being. Ultimately
the road will be undoubtedly be ex-
tended across the mountains, via AL
pine and connect with the Santa Fe at
Stockton. In passing through tie
country it will tap one of the richest
timber sections on the coast. Such a
road will put the Southern Pacific out
of commission as for as doing business
with western Nevada goes. 1t would
haul nearly all the supplies for the
south as well as the north and if the
V. & T. would pool issues with the
N. G. & o.. running north from Reno
it would make the property the best
piece of railway in the west. Such a
combination would control all the
traffic between Sacramento and Reno
and Carson and south and north of
those towns for a distance of over 800
miles.
