Lewis Hickey, who for the past
several years has made his home

HELD
FOR MURDER

Nothing of any importance has de-
veloped In the murder OF William
Brainard since last Saturdays issue
OF this paper. says the Mason Valley
News.
The coroner's inquest was held last
Saturday afternoon several witnesses
were examined but none threw any
light on the case except as has been
explained heretofore. Consequently
excitement prevailed among the spec
tators when Harry Brainard, brother
of the deceased and accused of the
crime was called to the stand. In
the giving OF his testimony he SEEM
ed very Ill at ease and at times num-
bled to himself and at all times
speaking in voice that was very
hard to understand by the crowd and
had TO be asked on several occasions
to speak so that he might be under
stood by the jurors. At one time un-
der examination by District Attorney
Guild he covered his face with his
handkerchief and appeared to be cry
ing but he soon recovered himself.
He was very evasive In giving his
answers to some of the questions Of
the District Attorney and it was
hard to prevent his mumblings and
apparently wandering of mind. He
stated that insanity had prevailed in
his family and stated-that he himself
had been an inmate of an insane
asylum and that his father was now
confined. This statement was proven
to be false by letter found from a
sister of Troy. N. Y, which stated
that the father was in Soldiers
Home. To the audience it appeared
that he was trying to bring out the
fact that his mind was not right, pos
sibly with the intention of making
his defense on this yround. He is
man of about fifty years of age,
slightly gray and is about five feet,
his defense on this ground. Ho Is
reported to have killed a man In
California in a controversy over some
labor troubles.
The funeral OF VIM. II. Brainard
mas held Wednesday and when ques-
toned as to whether or not he de-
sired to attend the funeral Harry
Brainard stated that he did not wish
to go Shortly before the inquest of
last Saturday he was taken to the
morgue to view the remains and Is
reported to have closed his eyes
when requested by the authorities to
look at the remains OF his deceased
brother
The eoroners jury rendered a ver-
dict to the effect that VIM. II. Brain
ard came to his death at the hands Of
an assassin unknown to the jury and
further recommended that Harry
Brainard be held for investigation In
connection with the crime.

about a reorganization Of his mining

ing taken over by the Detroit Gold

FACE
DIFFICULTY in
QUARANTINE

The quarantine placed on cattle in
Douglas county by the officials of
California, because of the presence OF
a few cases of cattle scab.es found
here. gives promise OF working great
hardship upon stock interests of this
section, and this week II. +. Dang
berg, representing stockmen of Doug
las county, went to Sacramento for
the purpose of endeavoring TO have
the quarantine modified.
Within a week or SO hundreds of
head of stock should bo moved to
the ranges in Mono and Alpine coun-
ties of California. but with the quar-
antine that Is now In effect. 1t will
be impossible to move the stock, ac-
cording to reports. There Is not
enough feed in Carson Valley to care
for the stock without materially in
juring growing crops, and unless .he
quarantine is modified so as to allow
inspected stock to enter California, a
great hardship will result.
The bulls that were shipped to
Carson, Smith and Antelope Valleys
last fall by the Walker River range
association, were purchased to head
range stock in the Mono forest and
the purchase was advocated by the
forest department. 1t is deplorable
circumstance that scabies developed
among the stock which were purchas-
ed from Elko county. To ascertain II
the shipment was infected before be-
ing shipped from that county, an in
spector has been sent to the Warm
Creek ranch to make Investigations,
but as yet his report has not been
made public.
Stockmen of Carson Valley are ex-
tremely anxious to have matters
cleared up at the earliest possible
date and believe that the California
officials will modify the present quar-
antine to allow inspected stock to be
taken to the summer ranges at an
early date.

Sunday afternoon the Carson river
reached the highest mark Of the
season and In the vicinity of the
Cradlebaugh bridge the water, was
within a few inches Of running over
the road. However, the sudden low
ering of temperature Sunday evening
and which has continued throughout
the week, prevented the river from
overflowing its banks. In the event
of extremely high water some appre-
hension has been expressed relative

forks of the Carson river has hardly

big celebration will be the dedication
services of the soldiers memorial
which are to be made as impressive
as possible. The citizens Of Douglas
county have responded literally to
the fund for the purchase Of the
