for the corn are directly in front of

by the two wheels which follow. The dis

Thr . men suspected Of the murder
OF the Pollocks in Six.mile Canyon,
we're arrested in w~ipnemucoa, Sunday.
and on the following day were taken to
Virginia City by Chief Bradley OF that
place. Tho Slrer STATE Of yesterday
says: "The men came kere Friday,
and registered at the Lafayette Hotel as
George Wilkinson. T. Coughlan and w.
@. Lockhnrt. One Of .uem paid for
lodgings and supper for all three OF
them. They were remarkably quiet
during the evening, and had nothing to
say to each other or anybody else. Next
day they rent to the winnemucca Hotel
and registered under tho names above
given. and gave their place Of residence
as Nevada City, Cal. When arrested,
they we're examined separately. and all
told the same story about their travels.
They said they left Greeley. Colorado,
sone months ago; were at Grantsville,
Bellvillo and Candelaria, and sen their
yalises by express from Luning TO Wads-
worth on December 29th. They admit
ted going to Virginia across the coun-
try, and Of stopping al a house not far
from the scene Of the tragedy and ask.
ing for dinner. They are the persons
ohio were seen by Mr.. Hickey, a Steam
boat Valley ranchsr, in the hills, and
were identified by him here. Some three
or four boxes camo here TO their address
from Reno and Wadsworih, bat they
contained nothing but clothing. With
out being told why they were arrested,
they said they were at Luning on the
goth OF December. the day after the
murder Of tie Pollocks, and stopped q
day at the hotel there. II such is the
fact, they cannot possibly be guilty of
the crime for which they were arrested"
The Reno journal says it was stated
on good authority that articles of jew
elry aud clothing known to have be-
longed to the Pollocks, were found on
the persons Of the men arrested.
