ton number OF times, his last ap.
pearance here being less than a year

public schools in his native town OF
Wilmington. he graduated from Yves.
leyan academy in 1865. At the age OF
20 he enlisted in his native town in
Company +, 10th Vermont volunteers
and participated with this regiment
in the battle OF Gettysburg. being
mustered out OF service August 10

filed the position OF principal of the
Wilmington high school, and after
ward, for a period OF IL years. was In
the mercantile business there. He

COURT HOUSE IN
NEVADA TOWN
DYNAMITEO
inhabitants of Yerrington Fled
To Prairie
BUILDING COST $4,000
Rival Town Which Wanted the coun-
ty Seat is Accused Of the
Crime

Reno, New. Dec 1.-two explos-
ions of nitroglycerine or dynamite in
the new Lyon County Court House in
Yerington, New, wrecked the upper
part of the building today and SO
damaged the lower part it may be i'm
possible to repair It, The building is
of reinforced concrete, and one of the
most up-to-date structures in the
State, costing in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
The first blast was tremendous,
and the shock of the explosion awak-
ened every resident in the town.
They fed from their houses in terror.
Just as they were being apprised OF
what had taken place there was an
other defamation that all but took
them of their feet, and a great flash
like Of lightning illuminated the build
ing. Great blocks of concrete and
iron filled the air and fell upon the
roofs of the surrounding residences.
The Court House is situated in the
heart of the city, and the entire popu-
lation filed the streets despite the
darkness and driving snow. The
cries Of women and children filled the
air as all rushed to the pairie out
side the village momentarily expect
ing another explosion.
At daybreak many expressed belief
that the explosion was part of the
campaign of which the McNamaras
figured as leaders. There was much
rivalry among the contractors during
the bidding for the work of construc-
ton OF the new Court House, and its
letting to a Reno company caused
much bitterness to be felt in Lyon
County, all feeling that the contract
should have been awarded to a local
builder. Ever since the work began
there has been opposition.
There has been also much ill-feeI-
ing over the removal of the county
seat from Dayton, and numerous in
junction suits were brought to pre-
/ vent 1t, even after the Legislature
had passed a bill removing it to
ferington. Mason, the new conner
town, was also a bidder for the conn
ty seat, but the legislature ignored its
petition, and after ordering the re-
moval Of the seat to Yerington au-
thorized the issuance of $4,000 bonds
for the new building.
