among the students, were the only two
contestants for President, the other nom
inees having drawn out during the past
week. The entire number of ballots cast

DANIEL REGAIN
TRIAL BEGUN
Is q Man Ever Justified in Kill.
ing His Mother
in-law2

The trial of Dan Regan for the murder
Sparks a few months ago Is attracting
much attention In Reno. A jury has
been secured and the taking of testi-
mony began yesterday.
The prosecution contends that Regan
went home in a drunken condition one
night last fall and without provocation
became angered at his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Hess. who was staying at his home.
That when she attempted to quiet him
he struck her several times, finally
knocking her down with a terrible blow
over the heart that crushed in her ribs
and produced death within an hour That
the assault was made with intent to XII
and without provocation whatever.
The defense is expected oset up the
claim that Mrs. Hess, being a woman of
corpulent bui d. was affected with hear,
trouble and that she died from excite
ment and not from the effects of the
blow that Regan dealt her.
Regan's friends also claim that Mrs
Hess had come between Regan and his
wife and had always made his home an
unhappy one.
1t is not known whether 1t will be con-
tended by Regan's friends that for that
reason he was justified in beating her
over the heart until dead. Or whether his
unhappy" condition prompted him to
bring sunshine into the home by over
turning the lamp and breaking the furni-
ture as he is alleged to have done on thai
memorable winter evening when Mrs
Hess was assisted to become an ange.
Also, was the loaning to him of money to
go into business by his mother-in-law
Mrs. Hess. another mark of her DISPOSE
tion to come between him and his wife
and make his home an unhappy one?'
II the circumstances were as reported
by the press at the time of the killing
we are surprised that reputable lawyer
could be found to defend Regan.

SPARKS ELECTION !.
BADLY MUDDLED.
May be DecI1red lIIesa by Board
Of County Commis-
Si0nerS

The Commissioners of Washoe County
have refused to accept the returns of the
Sparks municipal election on account of
irregu. .arities that appear in the returns.
The Board adjourned after opening the
ballot box and examining the returns
from the First ward and will meet again
Friday to hear an opinion from the Dis
trict Attorney regarding the validity of
the election. 1t appears that the Eiec-
ton Board in the FIRST ward was COM
posed of an insufficient number of men,
that they failed to make sworn state
ment as to the correctness of the count
and that there was but one poll list kept
instead of two. There were fifty-six vot-
els enrolled in the ward, but for Mayor
fifty mine votes appeared. The members
of the Board say the errors were uue to
ignorance and that the discrepancies in
the count were clerical, no fraud being
intended. County Commissioner Hymers
stated that the e.ection ought to be de-
cared Illegal, but it is believed that after
an investigation is made it will be al
lowed to stand.

ELECTRIC POWER
May be Substituted for Steam
Across Sierras

A San Francisco dispatch says: Several

Babcock was called east for an impor-
tant conference with the high officia of
the company and upon his return the
story was circulated that he carried plans
with him for the electrization of the ioca.
ferry system.
In well-informed circles 1t was believed.
was to present pans for the changing
of the motive power to electricity from
Sacramento to Reno.
Under this plan the company proposes
to generate its own power in the noun
tains and do away with tthe present ex-
pensife and unwield,y method of trans
porting heavy freight trains over the
mountains. If this plan is finally adopt
ed, ii wi / make the construction of the
big Sierra tunnel less urgent matter
and at the same time provide a greatly
improved method for handling the moun-
tain traffic during the construction OF the
tunnel.
The matter of making a similar change
in the motive power between Bakersfie d
and Los Ange es is a'so under cons d r.
alton, but this change Is not likely to be
made until after the Sacramento Reno
section has been electricized.
1t is practically sett ed that the local
ferry lines will never be changed to an
electric system.

WARDEN'S REPORT
Large Increase in Number ofPri.
SQnerS

The biennial report of j. T.. Considine,
Warden of the State prison. has been Is
sued. The. two opening paragraphs Of
Mr.. Considines report of the Warden $
report are as follows:
The most noticeable feature of the
prison statistics during this time Is the
marked increase in population, which
from a minimum of 81 during January,
1903, rose to a maximum of l01 in Decen-
ber. 1904. an increase of 81 per cent. We
have now the largest prison population
ton in the early nineties.
THE increase viii undoubtedly contin-
ue at a heavy ratio. although l would
hesitate to say that the percentage will
be so unprecedentedly great as during
he past two years.
Should it do so the number of pris-
oners at the close of 1906 will be 1SS, and
as at present constituted the prison is in
capable of she tering such a number. The
SiNoeSot AuihDSi VI piiSoHeIS ever con-
lined here did not exceed $50, and at that
lime it was extremely difficult to provide
quarters for them
As result of this unprecedented IN
crease in the number of inmates the ap-
preparation made two years ago has nat
uraily been exceeut d. leaving a deficiency
Tor the two years of $14,311.s2.

B0RAx SMITH
Will Build Road Into Southern
Gold Fields

A dispatch from Los Angeles announces
that Mr.. F. M. Smith (Borax Smith), of
East Oakland, who, it was reported some
time ago. was causing survey to be
made for a railroad into the new mining
district Of Nevada, has changed his plans
and will build the road from Las Vegas.
Nevada, touching the new Salt Lake line
at that point westward and southwark
into Bullfrog district on one branch and
the borax mines in Death Valley, which
Mr.. Smith owns, on the other.
The Los Angeles dispatch also says that
work on the new road is to begin next
month and that four hundred men are
to be sent Immediately to the borax
mines In Death Valley for the purpose
of reopening them, 1t being the intention
to have a large quantity of borax READY
for shipment by the time Mr. Smiths
proposed road is ready for traffic.
1t Is added that the road will extend
through Las Vegas to Ash Meadows,
where one branch win go to Bullfrog,
forty miles distant, and the other to the
borax mines.
1t was learned that the Los Angeles dis
patch is inaccurate. Mr.. Smith does in
he has not yet decided whether his road
VIII connect with the Santa Fe or with
the new Salt Lake line.
1t Is not the intention to send four hun
dred men Immediately to eDath Valley
for the purpose of getting out additional
quantities of borax for future shipment

SIERRA TUNNEL
MAY Be BUILT
Truckee Thinks Big Bore Through
the Mountains Will
be Made

The oft-repeated rumor that the South
lieve its grade by tunneling the Sierras
is again to the fore. Truckee dispatch
says:
Although 1t was assumed a month or
two ago, Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, that the Southern Pacific haa
definitely abandoned the idea Of driving
that ii would. instead, build through the
Beckwith Pass, where an easier grade ex-
lists than 1t now has over the mountains,
it now seems certain that the great tun-
mel will be dug.
Local and outside indications lead to
this conclusion, and the people of this
place are corrrespondIng.y elated
To take up the local reasons for this
conclusion. last week Charles Erickson,
of the firm of Erickson & Peterson, OF
Los Angeles general contractors, arrived
in Truckee and put In several days ex-
amining the situation between B.ue Can
yon and the east end of the proposed
tunnel looking for suitable camp sites
for laborers whom he says he will soon
put to work driving the bore, the con-
tract for the big undertaking. he says,
having been awarded TO his tirm.
He showed papers to local railroad men
in support of his assertion. In addition.
he entered into a contract with the
zeigie butcher shop here to supply him
with large amount Of meat for his men

business ever since 1t was installed says

the boys out OF their small change. Fifty
per cent OF the winnings go to the owner
OF the machine and the balance to the
