TOWN GROWS
Lots in New Addition TO FaI-
lon Will Soon Be on
Market.

\ deal was completed last week,
whereby the Nerplank addition, con
sisting of about thirty acres. passes
into the hands OF j. A Bonham 4 Son
and l.. F.. c. Hinckley, we'll known
real estate men and promoters, who
paid SIS, 900 for their new holdings.
Surveyors were put to work Tuesday
morning and the work Of plotting out
the lots is now i'll progress The ne"
owners announce their intention OF
making model residence district OF
the addition. Tree planting and street
improvements will be given particular
attention, and already at this early
date the new owners say that they will
stand hall the expense incurred in
grading and oiling the streets if the
parties buying lots will agree To defray
the other half OF the expense. This
seems very reasonable offer, and will
likely be aVailed OF 10y those who will
in the future choose this part OF town
ior residence purposes.
The new firm also proposes TO set
aside "A reasonable amount ot land at
some convenient part of the addition
which will be improved as public
park. \ band stand will be erected,
and the park in its entirety will be
dedicated to the use oi the Fallon pub
lie.
No lots will be sold to parties WHO
will not agree 10 erect improvements
thereon OF a minimum value OF $1,000
The plat of the addition will be filed
with the county commissioners at their
next meeting. and lots will he placed
ON the market for sale within the next
two weeks.
The sale of the Nerpank addition
means much 10 the development of the
southern part Of the town ol Fallon.
In the past Mr.. Nerplank, who is an
old man, has hampered the town :
growth in that direction by reason of
his many eccentricities, and the fact
that up-to-date real estate men have
i acquired the addition will be hailed
by many with genuine joy.

SAD ENDING
Of the Life of One of FalIon's
Most Popular Young

'Tis True, 'Tis Pity; Pity 'Tis lis
True.

VIII Jeffrey, one of Churchill
county's best known and popular young
men, committed suicide last Monday
morning between the hours OF midnight
and morning, ut his home four miles
south OF Fallon.
He was found lying on the floor OF
his kitchen, the right hand grasping
the butt of 3S-caliber lVer johnson re-
yolVer, while the shocking wound III the
temple and blood-stained floor told the
tale of the manner ot death.
Word was at once brought Ia this
place, where his vile and babies spent
sunday night with Mrs j. NJ. Smitten,
her mother. The news came as 4
decided shock, not only to his relatives,
but 10 the entire community rs we'll.
,lovial and hghthearted on the evening
preceding his demise, no warning was
given OF any contemplation ol such an
act, aud the unanimous opinion is that
il was committed during \ temporary
fit of insanity
The bullet WAS sent crashing through
his brain during Il moment ot Impulse
when reason had given way To tenn
porary iii of insanity. No young man in
this community loved his dear ones bet
ter no Young man in this community had
greater solicitation rs regards the well
fare of dependant ones; no young man
had more buoyaut spirit; no young man
had greater Inducements for living.
Why then did the deceased commit
Wilfnl suicide Not because he Was in
possession oi faculties making it possible
for him to realize these things, but be
cause the processes OF lille had sup
planted reason with mental chaos, and
driven away all thought
