HIGHWAY COMMISSION VOTES
TO REJECT ALL ROAD BIDS

At a meeting of the highway COM
mission Tuesday all bids for con-
struction of highways between here
and Reno were rejected, says the
Carson City Appeal. The lowest bid
for grading and concreting the stretch
between the city limits and connec-
ton with the Lakeview grade was by
the P~itt-Taylor Company. The bid
was for 5000, while the engineers
estimate was several thousand dol
lars below that figure.
AS concrete and labor have taken
a downward turn, the highway engi-
neer figures that contracts should
follow the same line. Readvertising
fer bids will be started. as the work
will have to be held up uptil spring
owing to weather conditions.

 Mir. Gardner describes Lipponen as
 q powerfully built man of stocky stature and with a tremendously big
 arm development. It was with these
 gorilla like arms that Lipponen,
 swinging a. heavy axe, beat down his victims Saturday.
 When the work on which Lipponen
 was engaged in installing machinery was completed at the mill. a little
 more than two weeks ago. MT. Gard
 ner offered Lipponen a steady job with the outside force employed at the

 he did not wish to work any longer.

 the location of Lipponen's s crimes for
 inc purpose of inspecting the vicini-

 agricultural section of Brooklyn is
 hlanketed now under a deep snow and can be reached over a highway that is none too good for motor travel
 These handicaps, however, seem not
 in the least to abate the curiosity of those who would see what remains to
 be. seen and they come through the
 day to look, and ask questions
 throughout the neighborhood. In telling of his chase after Lip ponen, Deputy Sheriff Edwin Bennett, of Brooklyn. said Monday morning that. had he been using a sleigh in stead of his automobile, with which he broke through the deep snow and underlying crust with great difficulty. making very little speed, he might with his companion.

 At it was. Lipponen's l1ody was 1 still warm when the sheriff and Mir. Lathrop came upon him hanging in the woodshed at &he De Carlo place and life had departed only a few min lutes. At first the sheriff was uncertain that Lipponen was really dead. 50 the officer felt of his pulse and then
 of his stomach to be certain that life
 really was extinct It was.the sheriff's
 ambition to get Lipponen alive, but in
 ih's he was disappointed.
 The crime received the most wide
 Enread publicity of any happening in
 Vindharn county in many years. In
 handlirg the big story some liberties
 were taken by the big city dailies with

 Since Saturdays terrible crime in Brooklyn scores of people have asked the question: Was lLipponen a drink ing man?" So far as can be ascer- tained from inquiry in rrany quarters Lipponen was not drinking man. All agree that he was reticent, sullen and repulsive to friendships, and. even in death, his face seems a mask of ugli- ness and evil-mindedness. He looks the part for the tragedy he staged in life.
