PAUL LOVELACE IS IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE
Holds Up a Ch1anlan in Orgu1ia City
and the Victim of His oAssaut
is About to Die.

While returning to his lodgings in
the basement of the New Virginia
Hotel about one O'Clock Friday
morning, Bud" Hing a Chinees
cook. was held up and nearly killed
as he was about to enter the gate in
the yard on the d street side. AS
he approached the gate a man step
ped out and stuck a revolver against
his nose, demanding his money and
threatening to kill him if he made
any noise, but Bud began to yell
Justify for help, and the highway
man struck him four times with a
revolver, knocking him down.
Manager Wl.syn of the hotel had
heard the noise and upon raising a
window saw two men scuffiing, and,
with his son-in-law, hurried to the
scene. When the highwayman
heard them coming he ran north
and disappeared from view behind
the National Guard hall.
When Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Baker
reached the scene they found Bud
in serious condition and covered
with blood and they carried him in
to the kitchen. DR.. Sullivan and
Sheriff Seeman were summoned and
they were joined in a few minutes
by Officer James Conlan. When
Bub revived he said he had been
assaulted by the big barber next to
No. 62, that the handkerchief he
had worn to conceal his face had
dropped off and he was positive in
his identification. The officers at
once went to the barber shop and
raped on the door. In a little
while the barber, Paul Lovelace,
opened the door and the officers
told him he was unper arrest for
beating up the Chinaman. Love-
lace was extremely nervous and

Ground
Broken For
Club House

Ground was broken at Minden
Monday for the new building to be
erected by the Carson Valley I'm
provement Club, which was but
recently organized. The building is
to be of brick and will be the finest
club building to be found in any
rural community in the state. Be-
sides a complete gymnasium, read
ing and billiard rooms, the building
will be equipped with a stage, large
enough for theatrical performances.
In the opposite end of the hall will
be a balcony with a capacity of
seating l50 people. This in addition
to the main floor space will furnish
a seating capacity for all require
ments for some time to come.
In the neighborhood of $4,000 has
been subscribed and enough more in
sight to insure success to the new
venture. Werk on the new build
ing is to be hustled right along and
It's completion is but a question of
a very short time.

DEATH OF
LITTLE CHILD

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Bruins, Jr. of Fredericksburg,
were shocked Tuesday TO learn of
the sudden death of their youngest
son, which occurred in San Fran
cisco Tuesday. The little lad was
suffering with an absess of the ear
and he was taken to the city for an
operation. After the operation
serious complications developed and
despite the expert medical atten-
ton. the little boy passed away.
Harold Ernest was the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. +. Bruins. He
was born at Fredericksburg and was
aged five years, three months and
eighteen days. The sunshine of
love could not warm his life nor the
affection of parenthood beguile him
from dropping like a bud broken
from the stem of life.
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon at l:30 from the
family residence at Fredericksburg.
Rev, Martens of Reno will ofliciate.
The sorrowing parents have the
sympathy of everyone in the com
munity in their deep bereavement.

ment, and granted defendants until

said he could not find his hat though
he was given a light, and the officers
believe thatfhe did away with it to
hide evidence of the crime. After
placing him in Jail the officers and
Mr.. Watson made search of the
place where the holdup occurred
and found handkerchief and a re-
volver similar to those used by the
guards of the state prison. The
laundry marks on the handkerchief
corresponded with a towel bearing
blood stains found in the barber
and also with the marks on a collar
worn when he was arrested. The
revolver assidentified by a former
prison guard named Hagerman,
and was sold by him to r. Ward,
with the understanding that if he
ever wanted the gun he could
buy it back. Lovelace saw the gun
and asked Hagerman to let him buy
it, which he did. Other incrimina-
ting evidence is in the possession of
the officers. When taken to Jail
Lovelace said he guessed he was up
against it. The officers found a
coat in the barber shop with blood
on the lapel and one of sleeves wet.
as though an attempt had been
made to wash something off.
Lovelace is an ex-convict and came
to this city and opened a barber
shop after being paroled from the
Nevada penitentiary in July, 1910.
He had been sent up from Elko
county for eight years for burglary.
Previous to that time he had served
a term in the Utah prison, being
sentenced in 1900 for grand larceny.
He also served time in the State
prison at Deer Lodge, Montana

The Mil
Movement
Takes Well

The news given out last week
regarding the moving of the Doug
las Flour Mill to Gardnerville and
the launching of a local power and
light plant in connection herewith,
was joyful news to the people of the
town. They understand the ne
cessity of giving their support to a
local enterprise, especially of this
nature,
The members of the newly FORM
ed Incorporation have looked over
available sites suitable for the re-
quirements of the mill, warehouse
and sub station, but so far as known
a selection has not yet been made.
Plans are formulated, however, to
have the mill set up in Gardner
vile and ready to run before the
new crop of wheat is ready for the
rollers. This also means that the
electric plant will be installed and
ready for operation long before the
first signs of fall put in an appear
ance. The new water wheel for the
plant is now being installed at the
Sarman ranch and when it comes
time to install the dynamo the work
can be accomplished very easily.

KlNGSBURY GRADE
IN fine SHAPE

An owner of one of the lowest
powered automobiles in the Valley
made a trip to Lake Tahoe last
Sunday over the Kingsburv grade
and reports the road to be in splend-
i'd condition, with the exception of
short stretch below the old saw
mill. There lot of loose sand has
been scraped into the road and in
places the wheel of a car will lose
traction and spin. However. this
condition is so short that it is of no
consequence, especially to a car of
average power. Just now a trip to
the Lake, by auto, is most delight
full and one to be enjoyed by own
ers of cars. The trip to the Lake
from Gardnerville can easily be ac-
complished in two hours and a half.
while the return trip can be made
in much less.
The second range of mountains.
as viewed from the Lake, are still
manteled to their very base with a
a blanket of snow.
B. Selkirk and wife, who made
the trip, reports that the resorts on
the south end of the Lake, are pre-
pairing for an early opening and
anticipate a record-breaking season.

may take his choice and enjoy those
that he admires most. Peoples

A new CATHOLIC
PAROCnIAL SCHOOL
Another Institution of Learning
Will be Located East of
Catholic Church.

Webster City is to have a new
parochial school. The location of a
Catholic school in this city has been
the wish Of the people of that de-
nomination for some time. 1t was
for this purpose that the plot of
ground Immediately east of the
Catholic church was purchased by
Father Norton few months ago.
AS to the size and kind of build
ing that is to be erected nothing is
yet known. However, it will be
large enough for the necessary class
room and for the accommodation of
rooming students from other cities
who wish to attend. According to
present intentions the building is
expected to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. This amount of money
would be sufficient to erect a fine
brick structure and no doubt that
material will be used. The locating
of Catholic school in this city
would be fine addition to our 9TH
er institutions. Although operated
by Catholics, students of all denom-
nations may be enrolled. The
building of a Catholic school here
has been talked of more or less for
several years but no definite action
has ever been taken. Local Catholics
are very enthusiastic over the out
look for the school and it is possible
the new building will be begun be-
fore the close of the coming sum
mer.
