ALLEGED BY GIRL

known business men of this town was
arrested by Sheriff Nielsen Monday
evening on warrant sworn to by Bert
Russell in which he charges the ac-
cused with serious statutory offense
upon his sister, Miss Mildred Russell.
who arrived here last March from
Santa Rosa, Calf, and is stopping at
the home of her sister, Mrs. VIM. Gil

Charges were made by Miss Russell
and her brother -in-law, DR.. VIM. Gil
lespie early last week and after the
girl had sworn to an affidavit Mr..
Dempster was notified of the charge
and was brought to face the plaintiff.
He denied the charge most emphati-
cally and declared that it was a
"frame-up" brought for some unknown
reason to ruin him. Although he was
given ample opportunity to leave the
community, at least a week having
elapsed since the charges were made
known, he preferred to remain and
stand trial and declares that he will
be able to prove himself innocent of
the charges
Immediately after his arrest, Mr..
Dempster was released on bonds in
the sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Dempster has resided in Gard
nerville for the past ten years, and
during that time has been engaged in
business here. He is a married man,
the father of two children, and by
his strict attention to business has
gained the confidence of the people of
this community, who deeply regret
the circumstances in which he has
been involved.
Platt & Sanford have been engaged
to defend Mr.. Dempster while Geo A.
Montrose has been engaged to act as
special prosecuting attorney to as
sist District Attorney Brockliss.

place, and since that time he has re-
sided here. A number of years ago
he was awarded the contract for
carrying mail between Minden and
Gardneryille and attended TO that
work until forced to retire by his
severe illness
Martin Holmdrup was man liked
by everyone because he was an hon
orable citizen, and his conduct was
admired by all.
To mourn his loss he leaves a
widow, Mrs. M. Holmdrup, and two
daughters, Miss Holmdrup, residing in
San Francisco and Miss Meta Jacob
sen of this place.
The. relatives have the sympathy of
the people of this community in their
hour OF sorrow.

Activity at Carter Station continues
and is increasing. A crew of miners
are doing three shifts reopening the
old tunnel in Vita Grande to explore
big body of rich silver and gold ore
disclosed years ago in drifts and
wines from an upper tunnel. In ad-
dition to medium-sized strips of high
grade, extensive deposits of mill dirt
were opened by former owners aver
