Offers Assistance
To Stage Men

At Minden Monday afternoon the
business men of Gardnerville of Min
den met at the latter town to discuss
ways and means of offering assistance
having the mail route between Min
den and Bridgeport restored At this
time the postal department is adver-
Using for bids for carrying mail and
parcel post from Hudson to Bridge
port, also from Minden to Bridgeport.
This gives the opportunity, at least to
endeavor to have the mail route re-
stored. The government is showing
no partiality in the matter of routes
and will let the contract to the low
est bidder, without regard to the fact
that the Minden-W Wellington route
will give far better and quicker serv-
ice to all communities between Well
ington and Bridgeport.
In order to compete with the Hud-
son route, some encouragement must
be forthcoming to the successful
contractor should this route be re.
stored. AT the meeting held IN Min
den this cooperation on the part OF
the business men and others of both
towns was offered and the contraca-
ors made acquainted with the exact
assistance that will be given, in order
to make intelligent bids for carrying
mail over this route.
Mail stages cover practically the
entire route at this time excepting
fourteen miles between the Mountain
House and Wellington.
The people of the southern section
are extremely anxious to have the
Minden route accepted. because Of the
far superior mail service that woul(
result.

BODY OF PETER WILDER
FOUND IN TRuCkEE RIVER

hC bONy VA 4 CtOA ~ Vh0SAy VIM
disappeared exactly a month ago
saturday, was found in the Truckee
river near Glendale bridge by some
boys who were fishing Tuesday after
noon. Nothing Is known as to how
Mr.. Wilder came to his death, accord
ing to the Reno Journal.
The boys were fishing along the
river and noticed a strange looking
object on an islet In the middle Of the
stream. They waded out to the spot
and there found the body of man In
an advanced state of decomposition.
The police were notified of the
gruesome find by the boys and the
remains were shortly after brought to
Reno In casket.
High water had evidently carried
the body down the river and it was
lett where found by the lowering
stream.
No coat was found on the body, not
wiLhstanding the fact that on tho
night Wilder disappeared he wore
both coat and an overcoat. Neither
was any money found in the pockets
of the clothing OF deceased, who is
known to have had between $40 and
s12 on his person on the night of his
disappearance.
The spot where the body was found
is about quarter of a mile west Of
Glendale bridge.
L. c. Wilder was we'll known in
Carson Valley. For many years he
was foreman of the Hickey ranches in
Antelope Valley. He came to Gard
nerville some eighteen or twenty
years ago and in company with others
purchased the store business then
conducted by Jepsen & Hickey. Re-
verses came and finally he withdrew
from the firm. He was postmaster of
Gardnerville for several years and
was most efficient during his in
cumbency. He married Miss Mary
Jessen, a highly respected lady of this
community and some years later re-
sumed his old position in Antelope
Valley. Some four years ago he dis
posed OF his Gardnerville property
and purchased a farm In Smith VAL
ley which he conducted most sue
cessfully. Last fall he sold his farm
and with his family, moved to Reno.
He was a member of the Gardner
vile l. o. o. F. lodge as well as
of Douglas Lodge F. & A. M. Of Genoa.
Lifelong friends of Mr.. Wilder scout
the idea that he threw himself into
the Truckee river, but firmly believe
that he was murdered, probably with
robbery as the motive. On the fatal
Saturday night he was seen at the
Southern Pacific depot at Reno by
E. Christensen of Gardnerville and he
gave no outward appearance of
mental trouble and seemed to be In
the best of health.
Besides his wife he leaves to mourn
his death, two daughters, Vera and
Grace, and young son, Peter.
Deceased was a native of Denmark,
aged 63 years.
