Reno Evening Gazette
Laborer Stricken, Expires in Ditch



  Whether Peter Torre, a laborer, whose body was found shortly after noon on 

the Siri ranch on Washington street, naer [sic] the city limits, died from a 

heart attack or was drowned in five inches of water probably will be 

determined by an autopsy.

  When found, Torre was lying face downward in a narrow shallow ditch and he 

may have drowned after he was stricken with a fainting spell, it was said.  

His body was removed to the mortuary of the Ross-Burke Company after Police 

Chief Kirkley and Coroner Bull visited the scene.

  Torre was a native of Italy but had been a resident of Reno for a number of 

years.  He was about fifty years old and unmarried.  He was for a long time 

connected with one of the construction crews of the Truckee River Power 

Company.

  Neighbors told the police he had been ill during the last few weeks and 

complained of his heart.
