Young Gourdin was bound over to the superior court in Quincy, where date will be set for his trial. Officers said Gourdin admitted that charges made by the girls' father were true. The father said that about 6:05 p. m. Jan.

1 Gourdin came to their home and, with a gun, forced the girls to accompany him to his car, which was parked in an alley at the rear of the house. He told the girls to crouch dowTt in the seat of the car while going through town, or when passing another vehicle. All three were in the front seat. He told the girls he would not hurt them if they stayed quiet, and drove to the community of Graeagle by way of a back road and Highway 89. He turned around at Graeagle and returned to the Gold Lake road, where the car mired down.

He finally freed the car and then blindfolded his captives, using U. S. Senator Mahlon Brown Second Democrat to Announce for Post Mahlon Brown, Clark county- state senator, is the second Demo crat to announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination as U. S. senator in this year's pri mary race.

Brown made his announcement following a series of conferences with Democratic leaders in Clark county, and throughout the state HAS OPPONENT His only formal opponent to date is Harvey Dickerson, Nevada attorney general, who declared he would run minutes after Sen. Alan Bible said he would not be a candidate for reelection. Brown, 42, has been Clark county state senator since 1950 He was one of the organizers of a series of unity meetings in Clark county. In announcing his candidacy, Brown challenged as sertions that the meetings were an attempt to use steamroller tactics in the selection of a Demo cratic candidate. "It has been obvious for some time," he declared, "that the Democratic party in Nevada has outgrown old-style, machine-en dorsed candidates.

"The fact that so many well qualified possible candidates have been under consideration in Clark county, as well as in other coun ties, should guarantee to the vot ers no one is going to be forced down their throats." SENATE EXPERIENCE Brown added he felt his experience in the state senate "has been the best possible preparation at the state level for service in the U. S. Senate." "I have had in Carson City the sort of training and experience that comes on a wider scale to members of the U. S. Senate it self," Brown said.

A Las Vegas attorney. Brown has served as Democratic floor leader in the senate since the death of John E. Robbins of Elko.

Council Power To Override Yefo Affirmed City Attorney Samuel B. Francovich at noon today released his legal opinion that Mayor Len Harris' "disapproval" of City Manager Ira Gunn's $200 a month pay raise is in reality a veto, and can be overridden by a five-sixths vote of the city council. Mayor Harris declined to com ment on the opinion. Five of the six city councilmen approved the pay raise resolution in the regular council meeting a week ago, but Mayor Harris dis approved the resolution, saying he did not believe Gunn had been city manager long enough to warrant the big raise. Harris was careful to say he disapproved, rather than vetoed, the resolution.

Language in the city charter left some doubt as to whether or not the resolution could be passed over the mayor's objection, but Francovich's opin ion has disspelled that doubt. The opinion consisted of more than five pages of single-spaced typing on legal size paper citing legal authorities to substantiate its basic premise. Last week the five councilmen who approved the resolution, all except Charles Cowen, held a special meeting independent of the mayor to say the pay raise had been his idea in the first place. Gunn receiv ed the increase as of Dec. 1 in a city move hich was technically improper.

The resolu tion was to have straightened out the technicalities. If the resolution is not passed Gunn may have to return the money he has received so far under the raise. Josiah Booth Taken by Death Josiah (Joe) Booth, 87, resident of Reno for 38 years and employe of the J. R. Bradley Hardware Co.

in this city for 35 years, died at a local rest home this morning after a short illness. Mr. Booth was born Feb. 8, 1868 and came to Nevada from Oklahoma. During his residence in the latter state he was one of the participants in the great Oklahoma land rush of 1889, and often de scribed the fabled "run" for the land to friends in Reno.

He secured land during the rush and farmed it for a time, but gave it up due to lack of water and ether detracting economic factors. Mr. Booth came to Nevada early in this century and first settled in the Searchlight area. During his earlier years he was a noted mule skinner, and worked at that trade both in Oklahoma and Nevada. He also became engaged in mining activity at Searchlight.

In he moved from Searchlight to Reno and was im mediately hired by the Bradley Company, for which firm he worked until he was retired with a pension three years ago. Mr. Booth was extremely active for a man of his age almost up to the time of his last illness, and was noted as a good amateur soft shoe dancer even though in his 80s. Mr. Booth made his home at 921 Sierra St.

He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Dot C. Booth of Reno. Funeral arrangments will be announced by the Ross-Burke Co. Young Democrats Set Kiclcoff Meet Washoe County Young Demo crats kickof meeting of 1956 will be held Jan.

Forecasts for colder weather in Reno and western Nevada with a few scattered showers and slightly colder temperatures in the Sierra Nevada tonight were viewed as favorable by officials watch ing for any further flood possibili ties.

The snow lev el this morning was around 5000 feet. 2930 AT PEAK Figures supplied today by the city engineer's office indicated that the flow of the Truckee, a placid 600 second feet at 1 p. m. Saturday, reached a weekend peak of 2930 second feet at 3 a. m.

Mon day, but was at 2390 at 8 a. and going down. The peak figure was far from flood stage, estimated between 11 and 12,000 second feet for downtown Reno. City Engineer Elliott Cann.said that the weekend jump was to a degree a normal thing that could be caused in any year at this time by sunshine or storms in the Sierra. The weather station at the municipal airport reported .10 of an inch of rain fell in Reno Sun day for a seasonal total of 7.19 inches almost four inches above normal.

At Tahoe City the rain was very heavy Sunday, bringing 1.39 of precipitation and raising the Lake Tahoe level to 6226.95 feet. It was snowing lightly Monday morning at Tahoe City, where there are 32 inches of snow on the ground. Rain in the Donner summit area cut the pack at Norden to 89 inches, according to the Southern Pacific dispatcher there. It was partly cloudy at Norden this morning. Major road development was that Highway 395 north was blocked at Doyle again, because a detour bridge which served for a bridge damaged in the December storm was itself out.

The Iqcal office of the Ameri can Automobile Association re ported at 11:30 a. m. that on Highway 40 west chains were en forced from Donner Lake gate to Laings, and advised from the red pit to the fountain: and that chains were necessary on High-50 from Meyers to Twin Bridges and over Spooners, with no house trailers or trucks allowed. Freezing weather followed Sunday's rain placed black ice on the Mt. Rose road, but by midday it was open to the Snow-shoe Lodge and Sky Tavern without chains and to Reno Ski Bowl with chains or snow tires required.

The local highway department division office stressed mat very careiul driving was necessary, however. Carl Feutsch of the Washoe Development who said he expected the "chains required" sign to the ski bowl to be re moved this afternon, said about six to eight inches of new snow fell during the night on top of a packed surface to make skiing excellent. ine rainstorm naitea opera tions Sunday.

Washoe county sheriffs deputies said the undercarriage of the ca was damaced, ning next July 1. Bills to authorize the Washoe project were introduoed during the first session of the 84th congress, one in the senate sponsored jointly by Sens. Allan Bible, and George W. Malone.

with Rep. Clifton Youg introducing similar legislation in the house. The Washoe project is a multiple purpose plan, calling for construction of a dam, reservoir, and powerhouse on the Truckee watershed, and like works on the east fork of the Carson river. TOTAL COST Total cost of the project is slightly in excess of $43,000,000. The plan for development of the Truckee stream system calls for a 126,000 acre-foot reservoir at the Stampede site on the Little Truckee.

The reservoir would be located immediately below Stampede creek on the Little Truckee about 10 miles upstream from Boca reservoir. Boca reservoir, constructed as a reclammation bureau project in 1937-39, impounds Little Truckee aters near its junction with the Truckee river in the canyon near Hirschdale. Water from Stampede reservoir would be discharged through the potential Stampede tunnel and Calvada penstock to the Calvada powerplant that would be con structed on the Truckee river near the California-Nevada state line, DAM ABUTMENTS The outlet to Stampede tunnel would be located in the left abutment of the dam, and the Little Truckee outlet would be located on the right abutment. The tunnel outlet would have a capacity of 350 second feet with the reservoir at minimum eleva tion 5770 feet above sea level, and the river outlet capacity would be 1100 second feet with the reservoir at normal level, 5915 feet. The concrete-level tunnel from Stampede reservoir to the Cal vada powerplant would be 5.45 miles long.

At its maximum elevation, 5930 feet above sea level, Stampede reservoir would inundate 3,300 acres of land, with rights of way to be acquired totalling 2500 acres of privately owned land, and 1400 acres of government land, for the reservoir and the dam. CONTINUE BOCA Floriston rates 'set forth in various orders and agreements would be maintained by project operation, with Boca reservoir continuing as a water storage facility. The proposed Stampede dam would rise 196.5 feet above the stream bed and would be 1340 feet long at the crest. The Calvada plant would have a capacity oi Kiiwaiii, and an annual average generation of 63,800.000 kilowatt hours. In the Carson river basin.

water storage would be provided at the Watsheamu site the east fork of the Carson river, about 10 miles south of Gardner- ville near the California-Nevada line. 115,000 ACRE FEET The Watasheamu reservoir would have a total capacity of 115,000 acre feet, and would cover 1425 acres of land at maxi mum elevation.

Clark, now Ao, was sentenced to the Nevada State prison. Sunday night at 8 o'clock, Gregory and his chief, Det. Capt. William dhead, captured Clark again. The charge, as usual was burglary, for the chances are Clark is Reno's highly pub licized "screwdriver burglar." SIXTY BURGLARIES Clark has plagued police.

householders, doctors and bus ressmen since the end of the pre-Christmas flood with a series of Lurglaries numbering close to 60 Sunday night he confessed. Po lice Chief T. R. Berrum said, to 20 of the recent break-ins. A confession to the others, polic hope, will follow today.

Clark was captured in a Sierra street hotel. He was carrying his stock-in-trade, the screwdriver, He surrendered to Gregory and Brodhead without a struggle, Berrum said Clark, had return ed to the hotel with his screw driver in a brown manila envel ope preparatory to a night's work. EXCELLENT WORK Solution of the case of the screwdriver burglar was, Berrum said, the result of excellent police work. Here is how detectives went about the job: Each burglary shared a similarity. The thief would pry back the door moulding or jimmy window with some sort of strong pry-bar or screw driver.

He would search the place thoroughly, looking only for money. Nothing valuable, execpt money, was ever taken. "Merchandise ear be identi fied." Berrum said, "money can not." Detectives searched the prison iiles for clues. They were look ing for recently released ex-burg lars. Clark was one of them, for he had left the prison in Nov ember.

Clark's former occupation? Berrum was asked. "Burglar, the chief answered. One of Clark's alleged victims got a brief glimpse of the man as he fled the buliding he had broken into. He spotted the brown manila envelope and pass ed the information along to police. Although Clark had worn cut one envelope, in which he carried the screwdriver and a thin table knife, he obtained another.

This consistency eventually trapped the man. Detectives re ceived a tip that a man carrying this envelope registered at a Sierra street hotel. Gregory" and Brodhead waited for him. Sun cay night, Clark came "bouncing into the hotel," as Berrum stated, and the arrest was made "It was a process of elimination Rerrum said. "We had only to look for known burglars and concentrate on those whose descriptions fit what mforma tion the victims gave us." Gregory was one of the men, fierrum said, who caugnt a fleet ing glance of Clark before his capture.

Berrum said they put a tail" on the man, and eventual ly, with the aid of the tip, trailed him to his hotel. Carson Valley Native Succumbs Sirs. Carrie M. Warren, 74, a native of Carson Valley, died here Saturday after five days in the hospital. She had lived in Reno for more than 15 years.

Mrs. Warren is survived by a daughter and son, Mrs. Velda Morby and William Wesley Warren, and two grandsons, Jeffrey Lewis Morby and Mark Ashley Warren, all of Reno. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 3 p. m.

The older sister complained of being ill and Gourdi stopped at a creek and got her a drink of water. He then allowed her to lie down in the back seat and drove to their home. He followed the two girls into the house and was still there when their parents returned from Reno, where they had been shopping. When they arrived Gourdin ran from the house, jumped in his car and drove away. The Murray girls admitted he did not molest them.

At the time of the incident neithel- of the Murray girls could identify their abductor. However, on Jan. 13 Linda was at the hospital for treatment of a minor ailment wnen sne saw the car and recognized Gourdin. She told her father who called police.
