SG: Sea ee ope ee Leer APRIL 7, 1904 gl entedITS PAST YEAR’S PROSPERITY © IS WELL MERITED Railroad Company held their annual meeting yesterday at Grass Valley, at which considerable important business was transacted. A board of directors was elected, and several changes were made in the officers of the company. The most important change, perhaps, was the election of John Glasson to be superintendent and treasurer of the company. The following stockholders were elected to constitute the new board of directors, each receiving 2234 votes: Mrs. S. A. Kidder, Peter Johnson, C. P. Loughridge, Samuel Granger, John Glasson, D. E. Morgan and F. G. Beatty. The directors organized by electing Mrs. Kidder, president; Peter Johnson vice president and auditor; C. P. Loughridge, general manager and chief engineer, John Glasson, superintendent and treasurer; F. G, Beatty, secretary and general freight and passenger agent. The same Station agents were re-appointed as are serving at present. The report of the president was very interesting and gratifying and showed that the business of the company has been decidedly satisfactory during the past year. The gross earnings for the past year was $129,086.27, being an increase over the previous year of $15,136.37. The operating expenses for the year was $78,843.53, an increase of $8,300.85 over the total expense of the year previous. In addition to the fixed charge of $16,380 on bonded debt, there was paid from income accounts, bills payable, interest and commission, $2050.79. The bonded debt was reduced $4000 during the year. The excess income over all expenses, as shown by the Secretary and Auditor’s detailed report, amounted to $13,735.35. From this surplus dividend No. 5 was paid about one month ago. A dividend (No. 4) of $5 per share was also paid on the first of last December, The recent experiment of the company in using oil for fuel on one of its engines has been attended with such good results that another engine has been equipped with an oil burner. The company’s freight business has increased to such proportions as to necessitate the building of several new box cars at once. During the ensuing year the company intend to equip the entire roadbed with steel rails and new fittings and has other important improvements contemplated which will be publicly announced when the proper time ares Directors of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Nothing Hias Yet Been Disclosed in Last Night's Murder Case Pointingto Brown’sAssassin.

Last night a horrible murder was committed in this city by some per sop, or persons, as yet unknown, and as result William Brown, a highly respected resident, lies cold in death, with bis head almost chopped to pleces.

They went to the kitchen and there a terrible spectacle met their eyes, Near the stove they found Brown lying in a pool of blood in an unconscious condition on the floor. The room was bespattered with blood and the evidences of a desperate struggle were plainly to be seen Further investigation showed that the house had been ransacked. The contents of drawers and lockers were ecattered around, showing that a burried search had been made for rives for doing so.

All the newly-elected officers from the president down are capable, trustworthy and energetic people and are among Nevada county’s most popular and esteemed citizens, so taking into consideration the exceedingly prosperous outlook for the ensuing year, it goes without saying that next year’s report will show a far greater increase in volume of business and corresponding profit to stockholders, notwith Standiny the fact that the past year has been the most prosperous yet in the history of the road. The people of Nevada county and vicinity will feel highly pleased and gratified to learn of the great prosperity and increased business that has attended the business affairs of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad during the past year, and will wish this road and its accommodating corps of officials and employes continued success which it well merits and deserves.
