A SHOCKING TRAGEDY

The Standard says that a shock
ing tradegy was disclosed in the
Shekler school district, Churchill
county, last Sunday morning when
John G.. Williams visited the home
of Russell j. Grant and wife and
found both Of them dead. AS he
approached the house, he glanced
at the second story and saw Mrs.
Grants body lying partly in the
window, which has a low sill, and
partly en- the floor of her room.
Calling neighbors an entrance was
effected to the residence interior,

all traces Of his acts by setting the
home afire. Though no word Of
any kind was left it was plain that
during q sudden insane impulse
Graft had murdered his wife and
then took his own life. He had
fired two bullets into bis wife's
body and theC emptied the kerosene
from a lamp over the bed clothing
and carpets in his wife's room and
set it sfre. He had then stepped
into an adjoining room, shut the
door and after laying down upon
his bed fred a bullet into his heart
with the same gun with which he
had killed his wife. That the house
did not burn up is probably due to
ths fact that he shut the door
separating the rooms. thus cutting
Oft the draft. The fire destroyed
the bed covering, mattress and
scorched the interior Of the room.
The Standard says that Grant
had been i'll two months with rheu-
matism and that the motive for his
act may have had to do with his f.

P r

Elko depends for its prosperity very largely upon
the surrounding country. What helps the rancher, helps
Elko. The great increase in the price of cattle in the last
few years, has had largely to do with the position that
Elko and Elko County hold in a financial way in the state.
This increased cost of livestock has naturally re-
suited In higher retail prices of dressed meats, and while
these prices may seem high here, they have not advanced in
proportion to the price ofcattle on foot.
Elko people want only the best, and this we are
trying hard to give them. Our meats are not dressed on
the outside and shipped i'll under ice. This is all done
here, and we use only the latest and the best cattle and
other live stock we can bny. We are in position to give
you quality, service and price, and we certainly APP
preciate your business. Will you not, today. call up the
meat department, ask for Mr.. Helfrich, tell him what you
want and you may be sure of getting just the cuts that
you prefer.
