 Dawson, Feb. 4.-That Franklin Smith murdered his wife and Colin Miles Kelly at the Black Hills creek roadhouse last Tuesday, and then took his own life, is the verdict of the coroners jury which investigated the triple tragedy, news of which was first brought to this city last week by one of the drivers of the White Pass company.
 The evidence tended to show that Smith was crazed by liquor at the time the deed was committed. Wit nesses stated that he was fully aware of his devilish nature when under the influence of drink. and because of the fear that he might hurt someone, he had not touched drop for months prior to the killing.

.FALLON SHOULD FALL IN LINE
Fallon Should Not Fail to Assist
in the Entertainment of the
Nations Heroes.

Col. c. r. Reeves. the immediate
head of the Nevada national guard,
was in Fallon Monday between
trains arousing interest in the ap-
preaching meeting of the G. A. r..
and w. r. c., which will be held in
Reno June 9th to the 14th. Col.
Reeves was quite emphatic that an
opportunity will be at hand with the
presence of the multitude of suryiv-
ors of the Civil war. residents of the
Pacific states, their wives and their
children in Reno on the dates men
toned, to advertise the various sec
tions of merit within this state.
These folks, the Colonel stated, form
the backbone of the industrial and
farming interests of the coast, and
he anticipates the largest crowd ever
In Reno.
Among those people, naturally,
will be many who may be coaxed
away from their present locations.
and II Fallon fails to avail herself
of the opportunity to play the role of
host to part of the veterans an op-
portunity will be lost.
Col. Reeves thinks cooperation
from Fallon can best be secured by
organizing G. A. r. post here from
the dozen residents of the county
who are eligible to membership, thus
assuring to Fallon the right to have
round trip excursions run here from
Reno, the fare under the auspices of
properly accredited G.. A. R. post
being one-half the regular charge.
Col. Reeves also thinks Nevada
Sugar Company sugar should be
given out In small bags to the veter-
ans as Nevada souvenirs, illustrative
of what is being produced along the
trail of the early day argonauts. Pic
torial post cards bearing representa-
tions of this valleys chief points of
interest in connection with the gov
ernment's great undertaking should
also be distributed he thinks.
Fallon, he says, can play very
important part in the entertainment
of the veterans and their wives and
he is anxious for the work to be or
ganized at the earliest possible date.

Messing each performance - and

Residents of This Section Are
Requested to Urge The
Central Route.

The Indiana Manufacturers asso-
citation will leave indianapolis on
July 1st, on an automobile tour to
the Pacific coast There will be at
least so cars in line. and they will be
accompanied by Associated Press
men and writer's from Golfers and
the principal magazines, and also by

The details are being arranged by
committee of which Mr.. G. d. War

been on the coast looking over the
situation, and much will depend upon
his recommendation. He spent some
time in Southern California, and
when he left there he was strongly
inclined to recommend the route to
Los Angeles.
Residents of Churchill county,
along with other Central Nevadans,
should get busy to correct the i'm
pressions made in favor of Los An
geles. No steps should be left un-
done at any time that would tend to
initiate against the central route,
which includes Fallon on the line of
travel. Once thoroughly established
as the route of favor, the central
road will continue to have the call

with ]. M. Fulton, district freight
and passenger agent at Reno, is
urging everyone interested to write
to Mr.. Warren at Kokomo, Ind, urg-
ing a revision of his opinion and set

Messrs. Fulton and Kent are certain
If every resident of central Nevada
who has acquaintances or relatives
living within Indiana, will address
them, urging them to write a perso-
nal letter to Mr.. Warren, the desired
reult will be attained. Lake Tahoe,
that great Sierra stretch of opales-
cent beauty, the Truckee-Carson pro-
iect, the central Nevada valleys and
forests, even the old Overland trail
with its historic interest, all form
elements that grouped should not
fail to attract over any other avail
able route of travel.

Bad Colds.

When you have a bad cold you
want remedy that will not only give
relief, but effect prompt and per-
manent cure, remedy that is pleas
ant to take, remedy that contains
nothing injurious. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy meets all these re-
quirements. 1t acts on natures plan,
relieves the lungs, aids erpectoration,
opens the secretions and resores the
system to a healthy condition. This
remedy has a world wide sale and

TEN affairs that should be quieting

Mr.. Crehore's data proves eonelus-
lively the good business attached to

facts and figures. For instance. 1t
Is shown that during the year 1911
before the underwriters board read
justed rates Fallon paid insurance
premiums to the various fire insur-
ance companies approximating Sill
900. The subsequent reduction of
rates averaged 25 per cent, or $3.50
on the s11 900, not figuring the ex-
ira business accruing as the town
enlarges. The saving indicated pays
the assessment levied upon the 1913
tax roll as a fire hydrant tax, which

THE DRAINAGE WORK
Proposals Opened at Project Head
quarters Yesterday Afternoon.

Proposals for the construction of
an open cut 10000 feet in length,
running eastward from the J. Thorn
ranch east of town, part of the ex-
temptation by the reclamation au-
thorities, were opened at project
headquarters yesterday afternoon as
follows: c. w. Renfro, 201a cents
per cubic yard or a total of s4,100;
T. A Smith and S. L. Parsons, Tx
cents. or total of $3.50; Shep.
herd, Wade & Stephenson. 14.7 or
total of $2,940; A. C. Renfro, 10
cents or total of $4,000. Alto
gether the construction of the cut
will involve the moving of 10000
cubic yards of dirt.
The award will not be made here,
but is made in Washington upon the
recommendation of the project engi-
neer.
No bids were received for the con-
struction of the tiling trenches or did
any ambitious contractors offer to
lay the tile or comply with any of
the other specifications included in
the drainage program shortly to be
instituted. Project Engineer d. w.
Cole is now of the mind that the
government will itself have to enter
into the field, buy proper trenching
and tile laying machines and do the
work on force account.
