YESTERDAY MORNING.
Death of Well Known Undertaken
Shock to His Many Friends
Septic Poison Affects BruiSe. To-
gether With Weak Heart Causes
Dedth-Funerdl Next Monday. i,

The whole community was shocked
yesterday morning upon learning of the
death of Mr.. Otto H. Nowack, which
occurred in his residence, 207 North
Sixth street, at $50 o'clock this
morning. Death was due to blood poi
soning, but his condition was not
considered alarming even to his fam
lily until this morning. Physicians
were summoned but worked over him
without avail. A short while ago he
accidentally fell while working in
the garden, bruising his arm. Later
the wound became poisoned, but moth
ing serious was anticipated until it
weakened his heart and lungs with
the result that death ensued.
Mr.. NOwack was a son of the late
Henry Nowack and was born in Wa
tertown May "a, 1868. After leaving
school he learned the undertaking
business in his fathers establish
ment and was later engaged in busi-
ness with him, retiring to form a
partnership with William Kohls, the
firm name being Nowack & Kohls, do
ing retail furniture business and
funeral directing. This he continued
until his untimely death. He is sur
vived by his widow, nee Kronitz, and
four children, the eldest being IA
years old, and on them falls heavily
the loss of kind husband and father.
Mr.. Nowack was man well liked in
the community in which he lived all
his life and his sad taking off is
deeply deplored by all, and his fami-
ly have the sympathy of our people
in their great bereavement. He was
a good citizen and an honest, upright
man in all his dealings.
Unless other arrangements are
made the funeral will take place on
Monday afternoon

NEW SITUATION IN THE STRIKE

A strikebreakers strike occurred
Yesterday morning in Sparks when
between 10 and 1875 men employed
laid down TN ir tools and refused
to work until a number of griev-
ances had been settled by the COM
pan.
The grounds given for the refus-
al to confined work, according to
the leaders in the movement, were
that the company was providing
poor accommodations for the work
men employed in the shops, and
also that the men we're baing mis-
treated.
The majority of the strikebreak-
ers are employed under thirty-day
contracts, and the men asserted
that the company would not
furnish free transportation to the
men at expiration of their contract
or if discharged. Several strike
breakers claimed that they were
unable to secure their salary if
they quit until the expiration of
the thiry-day period, and further
asserted that it was illegal to hire
contract labor whether the con-
tract is legal or otherwise.
When asked concerning the out
come of the affair, several railroad
officials last evening denied that
such a strike had occurred and
claimed nc disagreement had come
up between the strikebreakers and
officials. 1t was admitted that the
men had demanded free transport
tatiOn at the expiration of their
contracts but the transportation
was not furnished. Reno journal.

passed by the last legislature. If so,
we think the party calling Us up is
in e. ror. The Act of 1905 establi-
shes a county board of health to
consist Of the county physician.

missioners. The Act of 1905 was
