Another Coal Prospect.

Frank Simpson was exhibiting in
Carson this week several specimens of
coal that he claims came from find
about a mile and half south of the
Simpson desert ranch. Mr.. Simpson
has several men on the claims engag-
ed in developing the seam which at
last reports was about eight inches
wide, with the prospect shaft down
about ten feet. A close observation of
the coal showed distinct woody struc-
ture, leading us to pronounce it a va
riety of Ignite. II is variety coal
that is generally high in ash and cap
able of absorbing great deal of water.
Attached to one of the pieces was a
little limestone, from this fact it is
barely possible that on depth the seam
might widen out to considerable
of deposit.

A FIEND
AT RENO
Mrs. J. E. Harper Bru-
tally Attacted by
a Negro.

Last Friday morning negro fiend
broke into the sleeping apartments
OF Mrs j. L. Harper of Reno, and
dealt the lady blow on the head with
a handaxe that came near ending her
existance. After dealing her the
murderous blow, he carried her down
into the the wood shed where he laid
her on block of wood with the evil
dent purpose of serving her head from
her body. BY this time the screams
of the children attracted the attention
of the neighbors and also served to
scarce away the murderous brute, who
made his escape about the time the
police arrived on the scene. As
quick as possible a physician was
summoned and immediate attention
given to the injured woman, she be-
ing removed later to the Whitaker
hospital where an operation was per-
formed, lifting the fractured skull
from the brain. AS soon as the opera
tion was finished Mrs. Harper gradu-
ally recovered consciousness and AT
latest reports was slowly recovering.
In the meantime the police, assisted
by the citizens, instituted a search for
the murderer. Every outgoing train
was watched and as far as possible
every other avenue of escape was
guarded. Toward evening negro
by the name of Eli Reeves or Webber
was captured by two Truckee Meadow
farmers ana taken to Reno and placed
in jail. When the people of Reno be-
came aware that a man purporting to
De the murderer, a mob of at least a
thousand gathered at the Court house
ond demanded of the officers the
murderer. But owing to the GOODNESS
of Sheriff Ferrel and his deputies the
purpose of the mob was frustrated.
ihe officers by the use of the telegraph
got special train from Carson and
about p. IN. spirited the prisoner,
with two other murderers awaiting
trial, to the State Prison, where they
are now safely lodged awaiting sub
sistence Of the excitement in Reno to
dbate, when they will be taken back
for trial.
On the way 10 Carson the fiendish
eur confessed to the sheriff that it was
le who attempted to kill the defense
.ess woman, giving no motive for the
.rime.
Mrs. Harper is well known in this
Valley, she frequently accompanying
her husband, f. j. Harper, who travel
ed for Baker & Hamilton.

NOT SO BAD

Genos seems to have taken on new
life, judging from the numerous i'm
provements now going on there.
Hansen's hall is being thoroughly
renovated, it is being disguised with
new coat of paint on the outside and
new coat of paper on the inside.
County Clerk Jepsen is putting his
newly acquired property into con.
dition- Some of the cottonwoods are
being cut down and made into fire
wood, while the dwelling house is be-
ing disguised in the same manner as
the hail.
Genoa some time passes as a dead
town, but such an epitath can not
with justice be applied to it. The
old town in summer is a vertible
garden spot, its stately trees and well
arranged orchards with the Sierras
rising as watchers back of the town
makes Genoa doubly distinctive, be-
ing the Oldest, and perhaps the pref
tiest town in the State.

OLD TIMER HERE
Reviews the Many Changes in the
Valley.

Tom Sylvester and j. A. Thompson
of Mono Lake, drove into town We'd
nesday. This is the first time that
MIR. Sylvester has been in Gardner
willie for the past sixteen years. He
evidenced great surprise at the growth
ofthe town and valley and noted par
ticularily the improvement in resi-
dences. During the time he was here
such fine homes as now exist were not
thought of. The lot of the farmer at
that time WAS not the easiest in the
world, no market for produce
such as we have today.
The only business houses in town
then were the old Krummes black
smith shop and the Gardnerville
hotel, then owned by Victor Lunder-
green. Out side the public road there
were no streets and what is now
streets were the garden spots and
alfalfa fields of L. Gilman and Victor
Lundergreen.
Mr.. Sylvester spent n few days in
town and then departed for Carson.

What California Business
College is Doin


California Business College, in San
Francisco, is putting bigger brains,
more intense energy, and a higher
enthusiasm into its teaching; giving
its students more personal and sympa-
thetic attention: looking more care
fully after their moral and physical
welfare; and pushing more rapidly to
the front rank of the great business
colleges of the country than any other
College in the West The remark
able success of this college,
aving grown from one student to
over $50 in six years, is ample proof of
the truth of the above rather strong
claims made for it. 1t is not the only
business college in San Francisco, but
it is the only one of its kind, and that
kind is so different from, and SO
superior to, the traditional business
college that there is no comparison.
Parents should see this great college,
so beautifully located in the finest
residence portion of the City, entirely
removed from the noise, strife and
temptations of the City, with its 1s-
900 square feet of floor surface all
divided off with glass partitions so
that one can stand.in the center and
see throughout the whole school, be-
fore they ever send their children to
any other business college. A visit
there will be a CONSTANT surprise and
pleasure.
