The lawyers OF Reno have circulat-

HAS BEEN HARD
COLD WINTER

This winter has established 8
precedent in the annals of "hard
winters that ranks in many re-
spects to the winter of 1SS9-90 and
even 1892, if the memory of some
OF the old-timers serves them cor
rectly. While during those storms
the snow attained greater depth in
this Valley that it has this winter,
the cold weather was of no such
duration as has been experienced
sine Thanksgiving Day. The
ground has been covered with a
blanket of the beautiful since
that date and the mercury has
iiirted with zero every night for
six weeks. A slight thaw occurs
for an hour or so In the middle
oi the day but the impression
ii makes on its white friend Will
never cause flood. The frost has
reached down into the ground land
taken a firm grip on the water
pipes which add dscomforls to the
Inhabitants IN making the best of
the severity of hard winter.
List Saturday and Sunday the
storm ragged at its highest and the
south-bound stages experienced
great difficulty IN making their
destinations. Sunday noon the
storm broke, leaving 10 inches OF
snow ON the level on this side of
the Valley, 20 inches at Falrview
and about the same amount at
Genoa.
Some little apprehension is
felt concerning the river and
should the weather moderate to sn
extent TO cause the snow to melt
with a rush, the Carson river
would 90 on a rampage and prob
ably result in much destruction and
damage. For couple of weeks
past ice gorges have occurred in
the river and for several days the
stream lett its channel at the
Dangberg home ranch and covered
the meadow with a sheet of ice.
The ice finally gave away but
later another ice dam was formed

Escapes From Jail Into
Arms of Terror
Stricken Crowd.

While the Gardnerville coasting
party were warming up in the
court house at Genoa Wednesday
night it was quietly noised about
the crowd that a crazy Chinaman
was placed in the county Jail dur
ing the day. Sheriff Wyatt con-
confirmed the report and in his
kindness submitted to the curious
crowd the request to peep through
the bars at the demented Mongol-
ian. The crowd was taken to the
lower floor to the Jail and with 1.-THE
light of a lantern, they peered in
to the darkness of the Jail. The
Chinaman evidently believed that
he was to be the victim of a mob,
if his blood-curdeling heather
yslls counted for anything. He
avoided the range of light aid
continued his pitious chattering.
The Sheriff finally ann ouneed that
he would enter the Jail and lead
his crazy charge up to the door
where all could see. The ladies
Gro rded near the door and the
sheriff turned the key and entered
the cell. That Chiaanan gave a
warhoop that would put Piute
Indian to shame, brushed the
sheriff aside, and landed in the
midst of the frig tened crowd.I The
lantern threw faint giim over
the tsrror.stricken, and the China
man clswing, grabbing at every
body in reach. The men nearly
tsrs the double doors off their
hinges in making their exit while
the ladies screamed in fear. Some
one with presence of mind picked
up the lantern while the remaind-
or Of the crowd peared at the pros
trats form of the Mongolian
prsns upon the floor. They rolled
hiM ever and his upturned face
WAS covered with broad grin be-
cause that crazy Chinaman was no
other than Gen Phillips.
"Stung" yelled some one and it
passed down the line.

7. N. HANSEN
LAID TO REST

The funeral of T. n. Hansen was
held at Genoa last Sunday after

number of friends of the deceased
throughout the Valley, paid their
last respects to their friend.
D. w. Virgin delivered the
beautiful Masonic lecture and also
spoke at some length on the life
of their deceased brother. All that

laid to rest in the Genoa cemetery.

1t has not been generally known
that the company entertained a
desire OF disposing of any OF their
improved farm property. The
company has been dealing ex-

therefore it has been the impress

Mr.. Dangberg ''and we have some

purchaser can be suited, since our

that might be required.
