MURDERED HER HUSBAND.

Mrs. Rudolph Jensen, young wo-
man who lived on ranch near Reno,
shot her husband in the back of the
neck last Sunda morning while he was
crossing field on his way home from
hunting. The woman then gave the
alarm that she had found her husband
dead in the field Later, when she
was held by the officers pending an
investigation of the affair, she con
fessed her crime. She claimed that her
husband was about to leave her, or
divorce her, and that she meant to
kill herself also. She being held on
a charge of insanity. 1t seems that
she had threatened Jensen's life be-
fore.

FIRE AT MASON.

Yesterday morning, about three
o'clock, the Nevada lodging house, at
Mason was discovered to be on fire,
and before water could be got on the
building it had been practically con
sumed. The building was frame
one, owned by L. O. Scheidler, and
with the contents was totally destroy
ed. 1t is understood that it was fully
insured, however. Surrounding build
ings had a close call from being
burned.

CORNERING COPPER MARKET.

Since England has declared copper
a contraband of war it is interesting
to learn that an effort has been made
to corral the entire output, says a
we'll known mining writer. 1t is also
of interest to note that there has been
considerable buying of the metal in
this country by foreign concern and
that it could not get all the copper
it desired before it became known.
OF this move the following account
from the east is given: Elaborate
plans for the disposition of American
copper through a single channel in
Europe, which in effect would ended
all possibility of the metal getting
into Germany during the war, have
ended unsuccessfully.

DEATH OF
DEATH OF
AN ESTIMABLE
YOUNG GIRL.

For several weeks past it has been
known that Miss Evelyn Snyder was
i'll at her home on Bridge street, but
as the word from her bedside was
rather encouraging, and she had al
ways been young woman of health
an energy, everybody hoped and
looked for her recovery and return
to her place among her large
circle of friends. Therefore it was
a shock to the entire community when
the word sped through town yetser-
day morning that Evelyn Snyder had
passed away 1t is with real sorrow
that we are called upon to chronicle
the death of SO cstimable, beautiful
and universally loved girl as Evelyn

death was inflammation of the nerves,
caused by too close an application to
her duties

beautiful life in Mason Valley and at
tended school in Yerington, grad
uating from the grammar school in
July, 1911. Later she was clerk in
one of our stores and for the five
months preceding her illness was the
genial and popular operator in our
local telephone office. About six
weeks ago she was stricken while At
her post of duty and was taken to her
home. She suffered intensely up to
the last Yesterday morning, about
o'clock, she requested to have her
position in bed changed and as this
was done she passed away in the
presence of her father and mother
with but moments warning.
Miss Snyder was girl of most en-
gaging personality cheerful lovable,
earnest and sympathetic. Her pleas
ure was in being helpful and pleasant
She never shirked responsibility nor
tried to evade duty, and this with a
smiling readiness and no hint of hard
ship, which made her part in the
drama of life a continuous delight to
those who associated with her.
In addition to her father and mother
she leaves three brothers, Roland
Donald and Wendell, and two younger
sisters, Leona and Vera, together with
many relatives who mourn her going
With all of these there are host of
friends and neighbors who will miss
her brigh smile and pleasant breet-
ing, and who deeply sympathize with
the bereaved parents and brothers
and sisters.
The funeral takes place from the
Methodist Church tomorrow at 2 p
m For some time before her illness
Miss Snyder taught class in Sunday
school and the Sunday school chill
dren and her schoolmates will prob
ably attend the services in body.

The latest slide in the Culebra cut
means delay OF several months, but the
channel will be clear for vessels of the
