Should Get the Limit
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21. It took
but twenty minutes deliberation last
night on the part of the jury to find
Ed (Spud) Murphy guilty of a felonious
attack on Jessie .. Montgomery, a 17.
year-old girl.
Under the indeterminate sentence
law, Murphy faces a prison term from
one to fifty years. The trial began
Thursday, December' 16th, lasting four
days.
Murphy was the first of five men to
be tried on indictments charging crim
inal offenses against young women.
Edward Kruvosky faced the court to
day and the three others Allen Mc
Donnell, Thomas Brady and William
Carey, are to go to trial in quick suc
cession. The speed with which the trial of
Murphy was conducted was due largely
to a united public sentiment and de
mands by civic organizations that
every means be exerted by the authori
ties to rid the city of its criminal ele
ment.
So strong was the sentiment against
the defendants that, with the exception
of Murphy, they were unable to obtain
counsel until Judge Ward assigned at-
Jtorneys to undertake their defense.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Reduc
tion of the army to 175,000 men by lim
iting the appropriation to care for that
number of men will be a slow process,
according to officials of the war de
partment. As sentiment in congress in
dicates the almost certain passage of a
reduced appropriation bill members of
the army establishment already have
charges brought against them and sus
tained by a courtmartial.
The present enlisted strength of the
army is 212,000 and there are some
vacancies occurring daily due to the
expiration of one-year enlistments. In
order to obey the command of congress
for a cut it would be necessary for the
department to stop all enlistments, re
fuse re-inlistment to men whose time of

The bids for the connecting link of
grading from the north limits of Car
son to and through the Shafer ranch,
were opened yesterday. The lowest
bid was filed by Taylor & Wood of
Reno.
Their proposition is for gradirrg
through the section named, finishing
with concrete the three and one-half
miles of highway on a fifteen-foot scale
and providing culverts and drainage
for the same. The bids called for $45,
909.61, which was the lowest of four
bids submitted, and was $3,000 over the
highway engineer's estimate.
The matter will be taken under con
sideration at the next meeting of the
highway board.
The question of connecting from the
city limits to the depot is one that will J
be taken up 1 ater by the city trustees,
and if any provision can be made un
doubtedly this section will also be con
creted, which would furnish a concrete
road from Carson to Reno when all of
the projects are finished.
No attempts will be made at any
grading or road1 work until spring
should the contracts be let for the
work.
