MR. J. M. INNES The sad news received here this week from Reno that J. M. Innes, who was recently attacked with a dangerous illness at that place, has partially lost his mind, and is confined in a Nevada institution. It is believed the attack is merely a temporary aberration, and there are strong hopes for his recovery. Mr. Innes' many friends will regret to learn of his misfortune.
His brother Charles went to Reno last week to render any assistance possible.

There seems to be no doubt of his guilt, as the checks in the registered letters were cashed by himself at Lovelock. Walker has been having a good time upon the money he obtained. Constable Nash, upon seeing him, recognized in him a fellow that was wanted in Lakeview, Oregon, for grand larceny. Source: Daily Independent (Elko), March 22, 1886 Transcribed by C.

Four People Are Drowned, Two Perishing in Attempt to Save Companions By the breaking of one of the spans of the suspension tramway across the Truckee river at Laughton’s Springs, five miles west of Reno, Nevada four young people, Maurice Jacobs, a young business man of Reno; Miss Nita McMillan, daughter of a prominent Reno business man; Mrs. E. S. Ede, jr., and C. T. Tilsman of Chicago, were precipitated from the car into the swollen stream and drowned.
Both young men were athletes and gave up their lives in an heroic effort to save their companions. Mr. Jacobs was seen for a few moments swimming with Miss McMillan, holding her above water when in her terror she grasped his arms and both went down. Kingsley swam for 200 yards holding Mrs. Ede’s head above water, then was seen to turn upon his back, the better to save her, when she seized him and bore the strong swimmer beneath the current. There was no time that the two young men could not apparently have saved themselves, although at the place where the accident occurred there are swift rapids, the water seething and boiling over great rocks. BODY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS Man Accused of Assaulting Wardjon is Assassinated. Lyte Gregory, an ex-policeman was assassinated at an early hour Monday morning as he was returning to his home in Denver from a social visit with friends. His body was riddled with bullets and he died in his tracks. It is believed that the assassin used a repeating rifle, and his aim was true, for in all ten bullets penetrated the murdered man’s body. Although bloodhounds were given the trail shortly after the murder occurred, no positive trace of the assassin has been found.
Gregory recently had served the Reno detective agency and was one of the men accused by William Wardsjon, the national committeeman of the United Mine Workers of America, with assaulting him on a Rio Grande train near Salida, Colo., recently. Wardjon was badly beaten up and claimed that four of the Reno agency men were his assailants. Gregory had only just returned to the city, having been absent for several weeks. Letters found on his person indicate that he was aware of Wardjon's accusation.
