ADMITS OF MURDER
At GARDNERv|LLE

charge OF murder will be placed
against John H. Sthrausen as a result
of the death at Minden yesterday of
c. S. Pellor from injuries which
Strausen is said to have admitted that
he inflicted near Gardnerville, says
the Gazette.
Aside from Strausens admission,
that he struck Pellor with an axe and
that he threw the weapon away, he
has refused to discuss the trouble or
to give the details which led up to
the alteration. He was taken to
Minden from Coleville. Cal, by Sher-
iii Chris Nielsen after he had told
Coleyille people that he had been in
trouble at Gardneryille and wanted to
confess. He walked around build
Ing at least fifty times before he had
the courage to give himself up. he
said.
Pellor and Strausen were going to
the formers home at Goss. Cal. from
Reno and passed through Gardnerville
by automobile shortly after three
o'clock Monday afternoon, Strausen
told the sheriff today. lie explained
that when seen later on the running
board of the automobile he was ad-
justing mechanism of the car. He ar
rived at Coleville alone with the two
rear tires blown out and after some
time there advised hotel keeper to
call the Douglas county sheriff from
Minden.
The man held in the Minden jail
claims Reno as his home and said
that his mother, Mrs. Grace Clark,
lives at 227 West street there.
Strausen served overseas during
the world war with the Ninety-firsf
division. having been inducted into
the service from Hawthorne on Sep
tember 6, 1917, when he gave his res
idence as Luning. He was twenty
five years and eleven months of age
al that time. He was slightly wound
ed shortly before the armistice was
signed. For a number of years he
was employed by the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining Company at Goldfield.
Sheriff Nielsen does not believe
Strausen had anything to do with the
Staying of a Portuguese last Friday
night, although the Portuguese and
Pellor were killed by blows from
axes. Pellor had s210 when he was
first seen in a dazed condition two
miles south of Gardnerville, and the
portupuese had $40 when found dead
in the Gardnerville school yard. Fin
ger prints on the axe used to kill the
Portuguese we're successfully taken
and were used In evidence when hear
ings of three men held on suspicion
were held this afternoon.

FOR |CE-BOX THEFT

Three negroes were taken into Gus
tody last night by Chief of Police
Lamb. following a report turned in
by Mrs. p. J. Brophy of this city

been seen prowling around her place
which is located in West Fourth
street. and that she suspected them
of the theft. Upon investigation, the
alleged culprits professed innocence

vestigation proved that none of the
