KENNEDY HELD FOR
ASSAULT ON JACK HAMBLY

District Attorney Lunsford and
Sheriff Ferrel returned to Reno from
Gerlach Saturday night bringing with
them James Kennedy, charged with
assault with intent to kill Jack Ham
bly,, saloonman of Winnemucea, says
the Gazette.
Last week Kennedy shot Hambly
three times, twice in the knees and
once in the left shoulder, according to
the officers, following a quarrel be
tween Kennedy and bartender known
as 'Bluey," in which Hambiy is said
TO have interfered. Hambly is not
considered seriously hurt and is at
Winnemueca under care of physi-
clan.
1t appears, according to the officers,
that "Bluey" and Kennedy had trou-
ble and the fight was stopped by Ham
lily. Kennedy then left the place. 1t
is charged that he returned a few min
utes later armed with a revolver, shoot
ing Kennedy three times.

The ways of the road that are trod

of a forty-weeks' season on the road

WILL BEGIN ROAD
BUILDING CAMP AICN

Owing to the rapid settlement of the
northern part of Humboldt county in
that territory contiguous to Winnie
mucca, during the past few months,
the county commissioners deemed it
expedient to prepare for campaign of
road work. Accordingly, Commission
ers Byrnes, Hoskins and Cooper recent
ly visited San Francisco and purchas-
ed complete road-building equipment,
consisting of two tractor engines, IL
dump wagons, serapers, etc This will
he equally divided betwee the two sec
tions of the county.
According to Commissioner Hoskins,
the only work that will be done this
winter will be enough to keep in re-
pair the toll road which lies to the
north of this town, but with the open
ing of spring a systematic campaign
of road building will be inaugurated,
and when completed Humboldt will
have the finest system of roads of any
county in the state.
Vacant lands in this section of the
county are being rapidly taken up, and
where, year or two ago, there was
only sagebrush, today may be seen

and barns.
According to James Edmunds, the
Grass Valley pioneer, there are now 25
families located in that section, all OF
whom will have pumping plants for
irrigation purposes before water is
needed next spring This year there
were large crops of alfalfa, wheat, bar
ley, rye, potatoes, and all kinds of gar
den truck, harvested from the limited
acreage cultivated. Today the travel
between that section and Winnemueca
is ten times greater than two years
ago, and this road will no doubt receive
attention.
In the Quinn river valley, some sixty
miles north of Winnemucca, from
1900 to 10000 acres of land have
been filed on during the past sixty
days 1t is intended to furnish water
for irrigating these lands by wells and
pumps, and several well-drillers are at
work in the field.
General Manager Levey, of the West
EN- Pacific, made the statement in San
Francisco Saturday night that his road
will soon be taken out of the hands of
the receivers, after which it will con
struct several feeders. In this event,
it is considered probable that the Win
nemueea Northern will be the first to
be constructed. This road viii pass
through the Quinn river valley and
will furnish transportation facilities
to a new empire.

WINNEVA HALL TO
BE READY FRIDAY

The finishing touches are being put
on the Winneva hall building and it is
promised to be ready for the meeting
Of the Maeeabees on Friday evening
cf this week.
This structure, with its handsome
pressed brick front and large, airy and
light rooms, is probably the finest fra
ternal society home on the coast. By
placing the stairway at the end of
the entrance corridor, considerable
space has been added to the several
rooms. On the first floor are a large
dance hall, Boxes feet in dimensions,
with ladies dressing-room, gents ,
smoking room, toilets, etc, taking up
ore entire side of the building. Oppo-
site are the banquet room and kitchen.
The south half of the second floor
is devoted to the lodge room, with its
accessories, while the north half is di-
vided into two fine suites of offices,
which have already been leased to
prominent professional men.
The work was under the general su-
pervision of Duval & Sons, San Fran
cisco architects, while George III. Clark,
the local contractor, was in charge of
the large force of mechanics employed.
The painting and decorating was done
by Thompson & Sons.
In rebuilding and reftting Winneva
hall, NJ. Reinhart has spared no ex-
pense, and with the buildings of the
Winnemueca State Bank & Trust com
pany and the E. Reinhart company ad-
joining, this probably makes the finest
business block ON Bridge street.
