SECOND VICTIM Of
SUPPOSED MANIAC

Gardneryille was stirred to Ia
depths last eveninr lwhen the secon
victim of murd.- or, assault by an
unknown person was lound Ia sandy
bed about half mile from town.
The second victim was E. Morrow
He was still living last night, but
death was considered certain. There
was cut, evidently done with sharp
instrument on the side Of his head,
penetrating the skull. two inches long,
another similar cut on the back of his
head an inch long. and the top OF his
head was cayed In.
or course. he was unconscious and
unable to give an account of the as
sault. which remains a mystery. On
his person was $210. which was not
taken by his assailant, showing that
robbery was not the motive.
The victim was working man,
known about Gardnerville.
The first of the mysterious attacks
was upon an unknown Portuguese,
whose dead body was found Saturday
morning on the grammar school
grounds, where a number of men had
been sleeping for some time. On the
body was $40. Two other Portuguese
were found sleeping but few feet
from the body when it was found.
They claimed entire ignorance of the
murder. and 1t Is supposed the killing
occurred before they went to the
ground to sleep.
An axe covered with blood and hair
was found short distance from the
body and 1t is supposed to have been
used In killing the unknown man.
Sheriff Chris Nelson identified the
axe as one which had been missing
from his place for some time.
In this case the head had been
crushed in similar manner to that
of Morrow, and the similarity OF the
cases leads to the belief that the mur-
ders were by the same person.
Lack of anything to indicate a mo-
tive for the killing has led to the con-
lecture that some degenerate is re-
sponsible for the deeds, and this has
thrown sense of insecurity into the
community
The entire country is being searched
for the possible slayer, the whole
community aiding in the effort to find
the double slayer.-Journal.

RANCHER KILLED BY
SHARPENING STONE

Dora Lasa, a rancher and sheepman
OF McDermitt, was fatally injured
while sharpening sickle for a now
Ing machine yesterday morning. As
near as can be learned. Lasa was
working on some ranch not his own.
and about o'clock, with three or
four other men. was sharpening
sickles In a tent. when the engine
which was furnishing the power went
wrong. Lasa called to the others to
shut the engine off. but before 1t
could be accomplished. the grindstone
broke. a piece flying off and strik :,
Ing Lasa In the face. breaking his jaw
and fracturing his skull above the
right eye. An attempt was made to
bring the injured man to this city,
but after covering a distance of a
mile or SO. 1t was seen that he could
not stand the trip. and he was taken
home. where he lived only until S:15
last night
1t was reported that the piece OF
stone which struck him weighed ten
pounds. and another piece which flew
off at the same time went through
the tent and was picked up a great
distance from the scene of the acci-
dent
Lasa Is survived by a wife and
eight children. the youngest being
only two weeks old.
Perry Carlson has taken a casket
to McDermitt and II Is believed the
funeral will be held at that place.

COUNCIL STUMPED
ON SEWER PROBLEM

Because the Humboldt river has
very little fall at this point. the city
council last night ran into a snag
In plans for better disposal of sew
age. II had been planned to pipe the
refuse from the present septic tank
to point farther down the river, that
the discharge may be farther away
from the city. but the surveyors re-
port submitted last night indicates
the grade would furnish insufficient
drop for the purpose. Other possible
methods of securing the desired re-
suit are under consideration.
This apparently absolves the engi-
neer who installed the system, who
was blamed for lack OF foresight In
not taking into consideration flood
conditions. With the lowering of the
river a serious condition Is obviated,
but II Is the plan OF the council to
so rectify matters as to avoid repe-
tition. One possibility is that the
septic tank has not been functioning
properly because the wooden forms
for the concrete work were not re-
moved. and this wood may have
stopped up outlets. 1t Is understood
the matter will be pressed to a sue
cessful conclusion.
Not much other business OF inter-
est came before the board last night,
and aside from routine matters the
only other discussion centered around
fire danger at the present pump
house. where water Is pumped for
city use. 1t is said the present build
ing furnishes a serious fire menace,
and that II it should burn, and destroy
pumping equipment. the result would
be serious to the people of Winnie
mucca because OF water shortage. 1t
was said that frost-proof wooden
building was recently constructed
within the old wooden building cover
ing the pumps and engine. but inves-
tigation proved the Water and Light
Company to be within it's rights be-
cause the lots are not included within
the fire limits established by ordi-
nance. No method was found by the
council last night whereby the danger
could be eliminated.

censured and immediate reconsidera.
tion OF the bill was asked.
ut conclusively appears that the

tion in favoring the bonus bill, while
the attention of Senator Oddie Is
further directed to the sentiment OF

of group of interests dominating
that organization in "aggressively
and persistently spreading propa-
ganda inimical to the interests of the
