Interview Between Mrs. Bowers
AMI tisc Murderer, who Visits
Her ia Disguise and is Iden-
tilted.
From the Cold Hills News.l


Ever since Mrs. Bowers, the Washoe
~seeress, was given a vision of a dead man
in a shaft, with marks of violence upon
his person. etc, the community has, with
common consent, accepted the idea that
Thomas Harrison, who was a copartner Of
the notorious tin-roofer, Jackson, and who
disappeared a few weeks before Mrs. Bow
ers saw her sight, was the man. Nor were
they long in identifying, in their own
minds, the murderer. Still there was no
proof. Even the corpus deficit was want
ing. And so matters have rested and are
likely to rest, unless the dead man shall
be found and identified ere the edict to fill
all the old shafts is carried into execution.
At a time when the excitement was high
est Mrs. Bowers sent for a reporter of
the Ne,os. She bad a revelation to make.
She must tell some one Of a mysterious in
terview held the night before between her.
self and the man she was sure was the
murderer. Not that she wanted that in
terview published bat she could not keep
it to herself. She must confide it to some
one. She therefore pledged the reporter
to secrecy for a time, and until legal in
vestigations were instituted, and for
eternity so far as the given name-all she
knew-of the murderer was concerned !;
and said:
Z" was nearly ready for bed last even
ing, when-you know 1 am quite deaf
the first thing | knew the loon of my
room opened and a stranger stood before
me. | was astonished. The man wore
quite long, curling blonde hair, and long,
light-colored whiskers. He advanced to-
ward me and asked if l knew him. l told
him l did not. He said what kind Of a
man am ~ Said l, you are a very bad
boy, and you have something with you,
oblong in shape. with initials on it, and
which does not belong to YOU He took
something from his pocket which answered
the description, and which belonged to
Charley Van Gorder when he was alive.
'He then asked me if / knew anything
more about him. 1 told him that 1 did;
that his first name was ---, and that he
was the murderer Of the victim in
and s%natching off his blonde wig and
long whiskers, 'you know too --
much, and l want you to understand that
there are more old shafts here and else
where, and that if people don't attend to
their own business they II find themselves
there before they know it,"
He then left.
The pledge Of secrecy given as to the in
terview has been removed by the appropri-
alton of $50 by the County Commissioners
to search for Harrison, and by the prosecu-
ton of the search through several of the
old shafts about the Comstock. AS yet
that search has been unsuccessful, and it
is doubtful, even if the body is in a shaft
and there is anything at all in this excite
ment, whether the mystery will ever be
unrayeled. AT any rate, the body must
first be found.

The District Court room yesterday pre-
scented the appearance Of a picture gallery,
the walls being covered with the elevations
and sectional plans presented for the pro-
posed new Courthouse. Among the plans
was an humble one, which it would be diff
ficult to say whether the architect designed
to be built of wood, brick or adobe, while
directly opposite was a stately building.
