reno GAZETTE MAKES
WRONG STATEMENT
ABOUT R. F. D.

The Reno Gazette of last Saturday
states that a Rural Free Delivery
mail route is about to be established
on the Truckee Meadows, out of
Reno. 1t will reqire a twenty-five
mile trip to make the delivery and
collections once day and the sig
nitures of 1000 heads of families, as
required by law. have been secured
to the petition for this route. The
Gazette goes on to say. This is
te first rural mail delivery route to
be established In the State Of Ne
vada.'
There is where you are wrong, Mr.
Gazette man, dead wrong. A rural
delivery mail route has been in op-

CARTER is SENTENCED TO
FOURTEEN YEARS FOR
HAMMOND HOLDUP.

Last Saturday morning, A T. Car
ter who was convicted Thursday OF
assault with intent to rob, was SEN
fenced by Judge French In the Dis
trict court at Winnemucca, and was
given the maximum penalty prescrib-
ed by law. that of IA years In the
penitentiary.
Before passing sentence Judge
French took occasion to address the
prisoner briefly on the magnitude of
his crime, stating that he might con-
gratulate himself for the fact that
he secured nothing from the pe son
of ,his victim. Had he taken as
much as lead pencil he would
have been subjected to life imp ison-
ment And he was fortunate
again In the fact that the club
with which he struck Hammond oy-
er the head was no stronger. In
which event he would probably have
been called upon to face murder
charge, with a maximum penalty of
death.
On motion of District Attorney
Callahan, the remaining two indict-
ments against Carter were continued
without date
History of the Crime
On the night of August 9th, Car
ter In company with E.. l.. Holt the
local barber drove out to the dis
trict In rig hired from the Love
lock Livery stables. Upon their ar
rival there, Carter told Holt he had
urgent business matters on that

the district allnight. Holt who at
the preliminary and In the subse-
quent trials explained his connec
tion with the affair. as simply be-
ing hired by Carter to drive him out
to the district. agreed to do, and
Carter arranged to return to Love-
lock the following night. He then
secreted himself In an abandoned
tunnel until the night Of the 10Th
when he went to the rear Of Ham
mond's saloon in Seven Troughs
and laid In wait until his victim
came out the back way to turn off
the lights, preparatory to closing up
for the night. AS Hammond passed
him he struck him vicious blow
over the head with billiard cue
which broke, but failed to put Ham
mond out. Carter then got cold
feet and left, running to Mazuma
mile distant, where he found Holt
awaiting him with the buggy. They
drove to Lovelock as fast as poss-
ible. nearly crippling the team on
the return. In the mixup, Carter
lost his hat, which was found at
the scene of the crime the next
morning. and led to his arrest the
following day

RAILROAD MOVE

With flashing headlines the Reno
Gazette of Saturday prints an &C
count of a proposed cutoff of the
Southern Pacific line from Argenta
east OF Battle Mountain, to Hazen,
leaving the towns of Loveiock, Win
nemucca, Golconda, Stonehouse, Mill
City. ''r ay and others far from the
main line. Ii the Gazette has pre-
served the files of it's exchanges and
will ook back Though those of the
Tribune about two years ago, it will
find that an outline II this proposed
cut off was printed in the Tribune
about two years ago or soon after
the 1ra'-chise was "a nted to Mr. J
T. Reid OF fhis place, from whom tn
S. P. will purchae it.
The. route will follow down the
Dixie valley. crossing through the
Silver or l. X L. range by tunnel
and come out at some point probably
above Coppereid, near what is the
Copper Kettle district, and past the
large deposit of iron ore there.
1t Is estimated that the new line
will save a distance of over forty
miles, between Argenta and Hazen,
over the present route, and that its
cost will be about seven and one
half million dollars, but this is three
and half million less than the com
pany spent to build the cutoff acros
Salt Lake. From the point where
it enters the Carson sink above the
stage road to Coppereid. there would
be clear sailing via Saltwater and
Fallon, into Hazen.
Mr.. Reid has had surveying par
ties out on this proposed route at
various times and, as published this
fall in the Tribune, work on the fine
has been started with teams and
scrapers, but this was only a slight
beginning. One of the surveys mace
by Mr.. Reid crossed the I. x. l..
range by Mckinney pass six miles
south of Kennedy and takes but a
three-mile tunnel, but the distance
saved is but 35. miles and there are
considerable curvatures. The other
route would require about six mile
tunnel between Shanghi and Con s
canyons about miles north of the
Desert well and is a straight shoe
all the way.
Along this new line would be the

American Nickel mines, the Buena
Vista iron mines. Copper Kettle

The first of last November Carl
Stradley. the main locating engineer
of the Oregon Short line, spent two
weeks going over the proposed line
and Mr.. Uniacke, who is just in from
Boyer. states that another party of
railroad engineers have been follow
ing up his reconnaissance. The Short
line have secured an option on Mr..
Reid's franchise and it is generally
believed that they will build the cut
off as soon as practicable.
Were this cutoff to be built. 1t
would have but little bad effect up
on Lovelock, or in fact. upon any
of the towns along the old line.

/ think you have the great distinc-
ton of being the first journal in
America-or any other country for
the matter of that-to charge Mr.
Pierpont Morgan, corruption, to say
nothing of comparing him with con-
victed criminals. viii you therefore
be good enough to point out a single
transaction of a dishonest, or even a
doubtful character, in which Mr.. Pier
pont Morgan has been involved, either
directly or indirectly?
Also be kind enough to mention one
journal-outside of Pensacola-in any
country which has ever charged Mr.
Morgan as being in any way corrupt
in his business methods? If you can
not do this, l think a frank and full
retraction would be a proper and fit

that it was generally admitted that Mr..
Pierpont Morgan has done more to
maintain the honor and credit OF
American business methods than any
other American citizen. He it was

Will you please allow me a space in
your paper for few words in regard
to the state committee.
I think that they are trying to break
off a little of our primary system. /
believe in keeping everything in the
primary, and nominating every officer
by the votes of the people 1t isn't
fair for one man to appoint officers to
serve the people of the state, but it
should be left strictly to the voters of
the state to say who they should have.
II we allow them to appoint judges
and states attorneys it won't be long
before they will want to appoint some
other Office and we won't have any
primary system.
I think that Price and his commit.
teemen need to be cut down, as well
as all other high Prices. All prices
are too high and it seems as if he is
trying to get above them all.
I believe the chairman of the coun-
ty executive committee should call a
special meeting at once and pass upon
this subjects for the interests of the
people and see that all names of can
didates for offices of judges and state
attorneys be placed upon the tickets
to be voted for in the primary.
