slim GRIMMETI
KILLED Ed BAKER
IN SELF DEFENSE
TRAGEDY OVER MONEY MAI
TIERS OCCURS AT NINA SAT-
URDAY NIGHT

During an alteration at Nina
Saturday night, "Slim" Grimmett
shot and killed Ed Baker. brother
OF the proprietor of the Nina hotel,
The men had dispute over money
matters and from the meagre in
formation obtained, it appears that
Grimmett accused Baker. of not
making an equal division of certain
money. In the dispute that fol-
lowed, Baker walked behind the bar
and secured revolver. Taking a
hasty aim he fired shot at Grim
NETT which went over the intended
victims head Grimmett immedi-
ately drew his gun and fired two
shots at Baker. The first went wild
and lodged in the back bar, but
the second struck Baker over tbs
left eye and entered the brain
causing instant death. Grimmett
surrendered to the authorities.
Yesterday morning Judge Glenn
of Reno arrived at Nina and will
take charge of the defense of Grim
NETT. Glenn was sent out BY
George Wingfield, who is a person
friend of the arrested man.
Grimmett was we'll known IL
southern Nevada and only shor
time ago visited this city for sew
eral days. He is a gambler by oc
cupation, and has always had
reputation as a peace loving man
There is but little doubt that h
will be acquitted on the preliminar
examination, as the witnesses to tn
affair state that he acted in self
defense.
The remains of Baker were take
yesterday to Yerington. where the
will be buried in the family plot.
