MURDER
BATTLES POLICE

A murder that battles the police OF
Reno took place yesterday afternoon,
when the dead body of a Mexican
was found on Truckee Street. Four
shots had been sent through his body
which lay where the man fell. No
identification marks were found on
the man and no clue as to who fired
ti,c shots.
The women in the neighborhood
declare that two men were seen rum
ming from the spot after the four
shots were irtd, but no one saw the
murder. 1t is believed to be the re-
suit of a fued among Mexicans who
lave been infesting the town since
