HAzEN.c CHURCHILL CUTOFF
Utah Construction Company
Rushes Its Work

The Utah Construction company of Og-
den is rushing work on the Hazen-
Churchill cutoff of the Southern Pacific
as fast as men and teams can do it. The
first division out of Hazen is nearly COW
cred now with outfits, and as fast as
these contractors complete their jobs
they will be pushed ahead to the next d.
vision. A. E. Christensen is personally
looking after the work for the Utah Con-
struction Company.
The Southern Pacific is building good
line, and it seems to be the prevailing
opinion that eventually this will be made
the main line into Los Angeles. The COM
pany now has surveying parties working
out of Sodaville on the Colorado & Car
son, in the direction of Los Angeles, and
everything looks as if this was their m
tention. However. If the line is extended
no farther than Churchill it will accom-
plish wonders in handling eastern freight
to and from Tonopah. AS it is now all
freight has to go by way of Reno, but
when the cutoff is completed this town
will be left to the westward, and a saw
ing Of over 100 miles made.

DAN REGAIN FOUND GUILTY
Of Manslaughter Will be Sen
fenced May 18th

Dan Regan, charged with the murder
Of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Harriet
bfess. was found guilty of manslaughter
In the District court at Reno Saturday
afternoon.
The jury was out but an hour and
haf.
The punishment is Imprisonment from
three to fourteen years. He will be SEN
fenced May 18th
The argument began at 10 o'clock Sat
urday morning. e. e. Mcfarland opening
for the defense.
He was followed by Mr.. Pike for the
State and In the afternoon Sardis Sum-
merfield made a lengthy argument for
the defense.
District Attorney Craig closed for the
defense, completing his address about 8
o'clock
Strong speeches were made by all the
attorneys the State insisting that Regan
was guilty of murder and not merely
manslaughter.
The testimony of Nellie Hess was en-
phasized, the State claiming that Regan
had gone TO his home for the purpose of
making a rough house, and had started
out by making a brutal assault u,.on
three women particularly his mother-in-
law.
Won Kotsch was severely denounced
for the part he played and the way that
he had shifted in giving his testimony
Attorney SUNNI merfied said that the YER
dict should be either mans aughter or an
acquittal
lie said that the State itself did not
expect a decree of murder from the jury
and claimed that In all the testimony
even that OF Miss Hess, there was no
evidence that r gan had attempted muir
der. He said that Regan had suffered
abuse from women in his own home; that
his life had been made miserable by his
wife and mother-in-law ard in this con
nection he cited the sayings of So'o,nnl,
Socrates and Sam Houton regarding tsr-
menting and sco'ding women.
lie pointed to Regan's own story and
said that II had been strongly corroo1r-
ated In important details by Ernest Won
Kotsch. who fatty contradicted the state
ments of Miss Hess, In conc usion re
made a pathetic pea for mercy.
During the argument Regan sat at the
side OF his aged mother. who lists ed
with tears streaming down her face.

vegetables are grown. Straw-tatched
sheds serve as shelter for the horses used
on the place and two or three milch
cows. The other buildings don't amount
to much. Bottle creek has it's source IN
the snowbanks of Jackson mountain, and
in ordinary years affords water enough
to irrigate all the land now seeded. Mrs
Herschel has big field of sagebrush land
fenced in, which is used for winter pas
ture. She runs about $50 head of stock
cattle and quite bunch of horses. Mrs.
Herschel is a sister of Eu. Sherman
well known in Winnemucca and pioneer
of the old town of Unionville. Mrs
Herschel also lived in Winnemucca
quarter of a century ago and kept res
taurant. On the other side of Jackson

PRICE S CENTS
NOTHING In 1T
Southern Pacific Has Not Order
ed Miners off Their Ground

THE Southern Pacific has never ordered
any miner off of our land, said prom
inent railroad official the other day.
THE company has tried to be fair with
all people, and until recently mining land
could be bought from the railroad at
nominal figure. A few months ago every
bit of the railroads lands, from New Or
leans to San Francisco, and from Cali
fornia east, was withdrawn from entry.
The reason for this we do not know, as
1t is probably some deal of Harriman's.
This talk about the railroad setting up
claim to Olingnouse property is with
out foundation. We know where all those
mines are located, and many of them are
on railroad ground, but so far the COM
pany has not done anything about it.
The same is true of Peavine. Many of
the claims are on railroad ground. Some
are on Henry Anderson's property. No
steps toward ejectment have been taken.
but this idea of going on TO some other
persons property and mining it is all
wrong, just as much so as if they would
go into his back yard.
THE railroad wishes to be fair in the
matter. IT wants to treat the miners
right and has always been ready to make
them almost any concession.
