KILLED in JUMP
FROM MACHINE

Mrs. o. Dunn of Bishop was injur-
ed in an automobile accident near
that place last Thursday and passed
away Saturday.
Deceased was we'll known in Gard
nerville, having resided here for
many years, when her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Hans Nelson conducted the
Gardnerville hotel, and will be re.
membered as George Nelson.
With her husband, Mrs. Dunn was
returning home from shopping trip
to Bishop. An automobile was ap-
preaching them at a high rate of
speed and as the two machines near
ed each other the driver of the ap-
preaching car, made no endeavor to
turn out. Fearing a collision, the
young lady jumped from the machine.
In doing SO her head struck against
La boulder on the side of the road,
and besides a badly fractured skull,
she received other serious injuries.
Soon after the accident, her broth
er, Pete Nelson, took his machine
and started on long drive to Reno,
after his mother. Reaching Bridge
port, he telephoned to Otto Heitman
OF this valley, who proceeded to
Reno after Mrs. Nelson and rushed
to Bishop. However, the angel Of
death took Mrs. Dunn before her
mother arrived at her bedside.
Deceased is survived by FIVE child
rem, the Oldest Of which is a girl
about is years of age; the youngest
a babe in arms, besides her heart
broken husband.
The death of Mrs. Dunn is most
untimely and is deeply regretted by
the people of this community who
remember her.

Mrs. T. N. Hansen, as well as his
sister accompanied the remains to
Genoa and were joined at Reno by

early day residents OF that town.
Shortly after the death of Mr.. Han

ago. the family removed to Oakland,
where they have since resided.
The funeral was quite largely at
tended by old time acquaintances of
the family. The remains were laid

V.&T. OPPOSES
AUTO STAGE co.

A hearing was held Saturday be-
fore the public service commission to
determine why Dewey & McCollum.
who run the stage line between Reno
and Gardnerville, may not SO run
their autos as to suit their own con-
venience, instead Of being compelled.
as they are now under the regula-
tions OF the commission, to start
their autos from Reno not less than
an hour from the time Of departure
of the v. & T. trains.
The ruling under which they we're
given a permit to conduct a stage
line was granted on the presumption
that the passengers to Gardnerville
have no adequate service because the
trains only run to Minden. They are
permitted only to carry their pas
sengers through. thus avoiding. theo-
retically. competition with the rail-
road. Testimony was taken and argu-
ments heard yesterday.
The railroad company claimed that
they have violated the terms Of their
permit to run by carrying passengers
to way-stations. thus coming in COM
petition with themselves and asked
that their certificate be taken from
them and that they be not permitted
to run.
As the matter had not been brought
before the commission In time for the
auto men to make their defense. the
hearing was only partially completed
Saturday, says the Carson Appeal.
