End of Linderman Testimony.

The Linderman murder trial at Reno
was completed Thursday and the argu-
ments took place the following day.
Only two witnesses were examined, Wm.
Maxwell, deputy sheriff, and DIR. DE
Haslea, Reno physician. The former
had testified that Linderman had showed
signs of mental unsoundness and by the
latter the defense sought to prove that
Welch did not die from the effects OF the
wounds that he received, but from NAL
practice on the part of the physician
that attended him. The prosecution
succeeded in getting Linderman's con
fession admitted as evidence.

AS stated several times before, actual

presented herewith:

of way and San Francisco terminal are
said to have been finally secured without
fear of interference and the Necessary
money is available, the sum of $50000,-

be drawn upon for construction work.

Two per cent. was what was antici-
pated at first, but we have done SO much
better"
Mr. Brown declined to give any infor-
nation as to the distribution of the
$4,000, 900 secured for the prosecution
of the work, saying that it was the con-
cern of the company alone.
He did say, however, that as the
road will run we'll to the northward, any
talk of its being in competition with the
San Pedro ro1te, in which Senator W.
A. Clark OF Montana, is interested, as
well as the Union Pacific, is erroneous.
From other sources it is reported that
part of the large fund raised will be
devoted to the payment of the S3,000,000
said to have been borrowed from the
Missouri Pacigc system for the purpose
of acquiring several small railroad pro-
perties in the west, including the Stock
ton aud Beckwth Pass Railroad, the
Alameda and San Joaquin railway, the
Sacramento and Oakland and other lines

The San Francisco terminus of the
Western Pacific will be in the Potrero
district where the company has secured
some land downright and options on

The Western Pacific has been actively
conducting its operations for about two
years, and, while opposed at some points
has steadily advanced toward its goal of

CHICKEN SALAD

One of the recipes most often asked
for by readers OF this page is chicken
salad" Here is one sent in by New
England contributor which has all the
earmarl1s Of being tried and true.
One of the best ways OF making chick
en- salad is TO boil the fowls slowly in
rich chicken stock until teEder. then
let them remain in It until quite cold,
which will prevent the meat from be-
coming too dry. Separate the meat nice
" and cut into pieces about one-quarter
inch square Use only white and ten
der pieces of celery, cut into much small
Ter pieces than the chicken. One-half
chicken TO one-half celery is Il good pro-
portion, but that Is largely matter
of taste. If rich salad is wanted, mix
q little thin nayonnaise with the chick
en-, and set away to get very cold. When
ready. serve on cold platter. with crisp
and tender lettuce leaves. Garnishings
of hard boiled eggs, picked beets. ston-
ed olives and capers may be Hsed-sep-
aratcIy seems TO be the neater Way-but
If preferred. they may be served on the
same platter with the salad. Little flaw
orin- will be needed with this salad, as
boiling In the favored stock is sunlcient
