struck him on the head Jackson
was rendered unconscious by the
blow and DR.. Clark was summoned.
The injured man was removed to
the Miners Union hospital where
the wound was dressed. Upon ex-

about two and one-half inches in

away. Several stitches were neces-
sary, but it is expected that the in
jury will be all right after careful

game of all sorts for the next two
weeks. For the last few days the

PHYSICIAN AT
RENO IS CHARGED
With MURDER

RENO, Oct 14-Dr. Frederick
Hugo Wichmann was held for the
action of the grand jury on a
charge of murder by Justice of the
Peace Davis yesterday afternoon at
the close of the preliminary exam
nation after various witnesses had
testified for. more than five hours.
Murder being unbailable, the sur
geon accused of performing GRIM
inal operation that ended fatally for
his patient, Mrs. Emma Gillespie
Ross, was remanded to the county
Jail. Apparently counsel for the de-
fense expected the courts action, as
they did not cross-examine single
witness called.
On the surface the testimony ad-
duced at yesterdays hearing did not
seem SO damaging to DR.. Wichn1Rnn
as had been expected. Both Mrs.
J. A. Talbot and DR.. A. w. H.
Wullschleger, the principal wit
nesses, only reiterated what they
had told before. Assurances were
made by the district attorney, how
ever, that crucial evidence was be-
ing held in reserve by the state, to
smash completely the line of de-
fense that it believes the doctor will
adopt.
