L0VELOCK KILLING
DEVELOPS DOUBT
BARBER, WELL KNOWN IN THIS
\ CITY, BEING SUBJECTED TO
RIGID INVESTIGATION BY
AUTHORITIES IN PERSHINC
COUNTY TO SOLVE MYSTERY


Several days may elapse before a
verdict is returned by the coroner's
jury in its inquiry into the death of
Mrs. E. L. Holt, wife of Lovelock
barber, who was found dead in her
home from two bullet wounds last
Friday, said by her husband to have
been self inflicted after she had shot
him through the body just above the
heart. Holt, the husband, is still in
a Lovelock hospital and according to
his physicians will recover unless
serious complications develop, says
the Reno Gazette.
The Lovelock officers, who are
making a complete investigation of
the case, are investigating every
angle of Hollis version of the shoot
ing. At the coroner's hearing, which
is sill in progress, it developed that
after the shooting, Holt,
who was shot through the body near
the heart, walked to the home of a
neighbor and reported that his wife
had shot him and then killed her
self. Since then he has made no
other statement, but local officials
point out that Mrs. Holt was shot
twice, one of the bullet penetrating
her neck, entering just below and
at one side of her chin, while the
other entered at the back of her
head near the base of the brain,
emerging in front. The wound in
the eek, they claim, would probably
have disabled her, while the wound
in the back of the head caused in
slant death.
When the body of Mrs. Holt was
found the revolver was clutched in
one of her hands. At the inquest it
developed that Holt had borrowed
the revolver on the day of the
tragedy from Monte May, friend,
and that in all probability it was in
his possession q very short time be-
for the shooting occurred.
Attorney c. E. Robins Of this city
went to Lovelock yesterday to con-
fer with Holt, who has retained him
for his defense should the authori-
ties conclude to prosecute him fol-
lowing his discharge from the hos
pital.
The state seems to be carefully
investigating two theories, one that
Mrs. Holt shot her husband and
then shot herself twice, and another
to the effect that Holt first shot his
wife and then attempted suicide. A
large mass of testimony along the
line of the latter theory went before
the coroner's jury.

ceeded to Carson City to take up
with the Nevada state highway de-
partment the matter Of getting high
way construction work done in Hum
boldt county, particularly with ref
erence to the roads leading out to
the north from Winnemucca. In
this connection, H. NJ. 10y. assistant
highway engineer, whom Mr.. Grady
interviewed, stated that the recon-
mendations Of the Humboldt County
Chamber Of Commerce would re-
ceive very careful consideration at
the hands Of the department, but
he could give no definite assurance
that route eight Of the state high
way system, leading out Of Winnie
mucca to the north to Amos and
other points. would receive federal
aid, inasmuch as the federal gov
ernment exercises the authority to
approve or disapprove routes desig-
mated by the state highway depart
ment. This authority, he said,
would undoubtedly be extensively
exercised, inasmuch as the appropri-
alton in the federal road bill calls
for an expenditure Of federal
moneys in Nevada in excess of a
seven-to-one ratio. > 1t is possible,
while the government does not itself
designate the routes on which this
money is to be expended, that the
authority extended to them in the
above bill, of approval or disap-
proyal Of routes designated, will be
so exercised that all routes sug-
gested by the highway department
will be eliminated until the depart
ment is forced to throw up its hands
and say to Uncle Sam, "Well, what
routes will you approve?"
Mr. 10y further stated that no
work could be started on the high
way system under the present ap-
preparation until after the meeting
of the American Association of
state highway officials. now being
held at Omaha, is concluded, at
which meeting Nevada II being rep
resented by Geo. w. Borden, acting
state highway engineer. At this
convention the bureau of public
roads will have worked out the pro-
posed interstate system affecting al

ment officials to know definitely the

that this work would be started et

Before returning to Winnsmucca,
Secretary Grady was invited TO st.
tend the meeting of the Progressive
Business Mems Club Of Sparks, Of
which E. C. Mulcahy Of the Sparks
Tribune staff is president. Upon
being called upon for few remarks
Grady stated that he was agreeably

Tuesday afternoon following an ILL
ness of several weeks. A few days
in advance Of his taking the char
acter Of the little fellows ailments
became very critical and his life
was despaired Of. The inevitable

Maker.

birthday being on the 23rd Of No

CLUB SECRETARY
MAKES HIS REPORT
THEODORE GRADY. SECRETARY
OF HUMBOLDT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.. GIVES ACCOUNT
OF VISIT WITH THE RENO
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


Theodore Grady, secretary Of the
Humboldt County Chamber Of Com
merce, returned yesterday morning
from his visit to Reno and Carson
City, during which time he repre-
scented the interests Of the local or
ganization in conferences with Off
cials Of the Nevada state highway
department and at the annual civic
dinner given under the auspices of
the Reno Chamber of Commerce.
At the Reno dinner, which was
held on the evening Of December 8,
two hundred and fits, members and
their wives were present, as well rs
a number of honored guests from
various sections Of the state outside
of the metropolis, including, among
others, Governor Boyle, State Sena-
tor Harrington Of Carson City,
James Leonard of Virginia City,
Capt. H. A. Clark Of Fallon, r. NJ.
Hardy Of Susanville, E. C. Mulcahy
Of Sparks, and Mr.. Grady.
J. C. Allen, western manager of
the American City Bureau, experts
on chamber Of commerce organiza-
tion work, was the principal speaker
of the evening. and In his remarks
he complimented the progressive
spirit and the ability, not only Of
the Reno organization, but of all
the commercial organizations there
represented, stating that with such
live and wide-awake organizations
as these, nothing is impossible in the
way Of accomplishment in commun-
ity betterment. "It 10 the duty,
moral. physical and spiritual. Of
every citizen Of the community to
take an active part in the upbuild-
ing Of the community in which he
lives, and to contribute part of his
time and money to that cause. and
hs Is q civic Stacker who fails in
that duty" was the way Allen put
It, and Grady considers that one of
the strong remarks of the evening.
During the noon hour Monday
Mr.. Grady was the guest Of Chas. s.
knight, managing director Of the
Reno chamber, at the Rotary Club
luncheon, Lorenzo Recanzone of
Paradise Valley being another of
the invited guests. Mr.. Allen was
also the principal speaker at this
function and chose rs his topic,
! "Americanization," dwelling strong
ly on the fact that we must first sell
ourselves before we can hope to sell
the other fellow. In other words.
we must first of all be good citizens
before we can hope to make good
citizens Of the foreigners who come
over to this country to make 1t their
home. He urged that we take an
active part in the conduct of the
affairs Of the nation. state and city.
by exercising our full rights and
duties politically, industrially and
socially, and concluded by striking
home the fact that no matter what
the political sffiliation the individual
might claim. the duty of every citi-
zen was to support the officers
elected to govern the affairs Of the
nation and its integral parts. al
though ! am a Democrat" he said,
President Harding is my President
and yours. and it is our duty to
back him up to the limit"
On Tuesday, Secretary Grady pro-
