Governor Pierce also received tele
gram from Calgary to the effect that the
murdered man s watch has been found in
the prisoner possession; also, that the
authorities had discovered Mills's where
abouts, and would probably have him in
charge before night.
The prompt action of Governor Pierce
and our County Board, in offering alarge
reward, has been the means of causing
this desirable capture. q

the Governor, started Monday for Wash.
