FARMERS PROTEST
STORAGE SCHEME

G. NJ. Trent of San Francisco has
made application to the water commits
sion of California to appropriate 200
cubic feet of water persecond, or 90,-
900 acre-feet per annum, to be stored
in reservoirs to be built in Hope Val
ley and elsewhere in Alpine County
and later to be applied to beneficial
use on lands tributary to the Carson
river The main purpose of the ap-
preparation, as stated in the applica-
ton, is for power purposes. Diver
sion is to begin about January and
end about December 81 of each year
The farmers of Carson Valley who
at this time are irrigating their crops
with water from this stream and who
hold priority rights, held a meeting
recently and engaged council to pro-
test the application of Trent They
object to the water being stored for
power purposes or for any other use

URGE IMPROVEMENT
OF HIGHWAYS

stephen T. Mather, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, who has direct
supervision of national parks. was
among the distinguished government
officials that visited Carson Valley
Tuesday, and is extremely interested
in good roads leading to all national
parks, In order that visitors may be
urged to see the wonders of the West
The federal government Is contem-
plating a road program for the i'm
proyement of all highways leading to
and from national parks and in this
work the commissioners of counties
through which these highways pass
are urged to lend their assistance In
carrying on this commendable under
taking.
Since the opening of the Tioga road
to Yosemite Valley, Carson Valley has
been visited by thousands of people
of distant states who have labored
under the belief that Nevada was on
desert waste and to find valley
with such wonderful agricultural
wealth has been surprise to them.
The opening of Tioga road has been
worth many thousands of dollars to
Carson Valley and the cooperation
asked for by Mr.. Mather in improving
the road between Yosemite Valley and
Lake Tahoe should be given, not only
by the commissioners of Douglas
county, but by the officials of other
counties through which this main
highway leads.

he had made no charge for the work,
was paid 1880 by Pellor. He was
present at the camp ground when Pei
lor and Strausen drove away and
heard the accused say that he was 60
ing as far as Gardnerville and would
return on the train, the trip being
taken to kill time.
John Botkin, who was also at the
Carson camp ground substantiated the
statements of the last two witnesses.
Sheriff Nielsen was placed on the
stand and testified that he had visited
the scene of the alleged crime about
. o'clock on the afternoon of August
l and had found blood on the ground
near the gate that enters the Huss-
man ranch. Because of court duties
he did nothing more that night and
on the morning of the I'd he received
call to come to Coleville and get a
man who reported to Constable Hardy
of that place that he had been in
trouble and asked to be taken into
custody. The sheriff started to tes-
tify to what Hardy had told him upon
his arrival at Coleville when Attorney
McCarran objected on the ground that
it was hearsay evidence and no foun-
dation had been laid by the defense
for the introduction of this testimony
Mr.. McCarran's objection was sus-
tanned by Judge Anderson. At this
time the hand-ax was introduced as
evidence and Sheriff Nielsen testified
having found it back of shed at Cole
vile. He also testified having taken
Strausen into custody and bringing
him to the county jail.
Ed Raycraft was the last witness
and stated having passed an automo-
bile on the afternoon of August /
above the M. Jacobsen ranch as he
was returning to Gardnerville. One
man was riding on the running-boa
but the witness could not identify
either men, as the cars passed on the
road rather quickly.
At the conclusion of taking the tes-
timony, Attorney McCarran asked for
the dismissal of the case on the
grounds that no evidence had been
introduced showing that any crime
had been committed within the juris-
diction of the court or Douglas coun.
ty. On the contrary, he declared, that
the evidence showed that the man had
been killed by falling from the run.

District Attorney Brockliss re-
hearsed how the evidence proved that

Judge Anderson stated that in hi.
opinion the evidence was of such 8
nature that he was obliged to hold
the accused for trial in the distric,
court.
During the hearing Mrs. Clark
Strausen's mother, and his sister
were present and took that interest
that only near relatives can when a
member of their family is on trial
for his life. The best legal talent
has been secured to represent Strau-
sen, and 1t will probably be one of the
hardest fought murder cases ever
tried in this county.

c. SPRINGMEYER'S
HOME BURGLARIZED

Last Saturday afternoon during a
temporary absence of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Springmeyer from their Diamond
Valley ranch, their home was entered
by robbers and the clothing of Mr..
Springmeyer, as well as Masonic
pin set with a diamond, were taken.
Returning home late in the afternoon
Mr.. Springmeyer proceeded to change
his clothes and that was the first in
timation that his home had been rob-
bed. Although no clue was obtainable
that would lead to the arrest of the
guilty parties, it is believed that some
automobile tourist stopped at the
house during Mr.. Springmeyer's alb
sence, and finding no one home,
helped himself to those things that
would be most seryiceable to him.

PASSENGER STAGE
HAS ACCIDENT

One of the big passenger stages op-
Grating between Lake Tahoe and
Placerville made wild plunge down
the grade leading from the second
summit Monday afternoon when the
drive-shaft snapped and the breaks
would not hold. Had it not been for
the presence of mind displayed by the
driver in banking the car before great
headway had been gained by the
heavy machine. the passengers would
have probably been killed AS it was
the car, when banked, tipped over on
its side, and while many of the oc-
cupants were slightly bruised, none
suffered bad injury.
