Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-01-19
FROM SAN FRANCISCO.


Tuesday morning that J. G. Duncan was con-
cealed at No ,010 Clay street, occupied by
former servant in Duncan's family: The
informer is said to be a responsible business
man, but it is not learned that any steps have
been taken to search the premises. Several
letters from Duncan to his son conducting the
New York branch of the Pioneer Bank, show
the wild and rascally manner in which the
business of the bank was carried on. o7-Ho'7
Mayor Bryant has issued the following pro-
clamation Whereas, Persons assemble in
this city and county and threaten to commit
offenses against the property and lives of its
inhabitants, and such assemblies are not held
for any lawful purpose, but to create disturb
ances in which public offenses may be commit
ted; now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity vested in me by law as Mayor of this city
and county, do hereby declare that such as
semblies are unlawful and will not be permit
ted, but will be dispersed, and all persons
committing them and taking part in their pro
ceedings will be arrested; and | advise all per-
sons to stay away from such meetings, and not
be present as spectators from curiosity or any
other idle motive, for such attendance encour-
ages those engaged in fomenting disturbances,
interferes with the operations of those who
seek to keep the peace, and may result in harm
to the innocent as well as to the guilty |
trust that the men who guide these assemblies
will not compel the Of force in securing
obedience to law, for | shall not shrink from
using all the power at my command to pre-
serve the peace of the city and county. Such
assemblies, whether held in halls, on streets,
or on sand lots, will be suppressed, and the
supremacy of law and order resolutely main
tanned" The Mayor has been in consultation
