The Gazette Contempt Case.

The Gazette Contempt Case.
John Dormer one of the proprl-
etors of the Gazette who was arrest
ed for contempt of Court for COM
ments on the Henderson rape case,
was discharged from custody on
Monday.
Judge Bigelow, IN summing up,
stated that the Gazette, by pub
fishing the proceedings of the pre-
liminary examination before JUS
tice Young. had put the county to
great expense in securing a jury.
The Court further stated that in
issuing the warrant OF attachment
it had been actuated by the best Of
feeling, but, while admiring the
Gazette as a newspaper, though
that owing to the gravity OF the
case, something should be done, if
only to make an example SO that
in the future the newspapers will
have a precedent by which to be
guided. In conclusion the Judge
purged Mr.. Dormer of contempt
and ordered the case to be dis
missed.
Itlooks as if the District Attor-
ney was over-ohcious in the mat
ter. As to the difficulties OF secur-
ing juries where a newspaper of
large circulation is published, that
difficulty can easily be obviated by
doing away with the foolish methods
of Court procedure that excludes
an intelligent newspaper reader
from the jury box.

ANoraEn CONFESSION.
Anschlag says He Killed His
Victim i'm the Barn and
Not in the Wagon.


Victim i'm the Barn and
Not in the Wagon.
Los ANGELES, Jan. 30th.-Ansch-
lag has made another confession,
which differs very materially from
the first one he made. In his last
one he says he killed Hitchcock in
the barn instead of the wagon. He
knocked HIM down with Ratchet,
and then taking an ak struck him
several times. At this time, he
says, Mrs. Hitchcock was shaking
the table cloth when he struck her
on the head with the Ratchet, and
when she fell he dragged her to the
barn, and struck her several times
with the ak. He then put both in
the wagon, and taking two spades
along, drove to the place where
they were buried. dug the hole and
put the bodies into it. It was nearly
daylight when ne finished burying
them. This statement he signed in
the presence of three witnesses.
1t is now believed that Anschlag
is a married man, as an envelope
has been found with "Mrs. Fritz
Anschlag, Bangor Butte county,"
written on it.
Anschlag has paid q lawyer $50
retainer, and still has about $50 or
$40 left. This he seems to want to
spend, as he yesterday complained
OF the Jail fare and said he wanted
some delicacies for which he would
pay. He is much more cheerful
than he was at first.

Las. evening Custer Post, G. A.

fashioned way; knives, forks and
spoons, and was the regulation pork

with coffee and sandwiches, with

The Public Building and I'm.

Tnc FuDkAc BUILDING una 1ns
diun School.
A short time since, Mr.. III. M.
Yerington, after taking considerable
pains to ascertain the space needed
by U. S. officials in the building pro-
jected and the means of procuring
necessary building materials, wrote
a voluminous letter on the subject to
Senator Stewart, and yesterday re-
ceived the following satisfactory
reply:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, January %. 1888.
H. NJ. YERINGToN, ESQ.,, Carson
City, Nevada My Dear Sir: Your
admirable letter of the 18th instant,
in regard to the Public Building at
Carson, is just received. l have sent
it to the Supervising Architect, and
will follow it with a personal visit
Immediately. The Architect can see
from your letter that building can
be constructed at Carson at reason
able expense in good and substan-
tial manner, and that there are no
insurmountable difficulties in the
way.
Your letters in regard to our
Indian School were both received
with the map, and referred to the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
The Committee assure me that they
will recommend the appropriation,
and, inasmuch as the Committee on
Indian Affairs heartily approve of
the plan, / feel quite certain that we
will have the school. Yours. truly,
WIN. M. STEWART.

1t is explained by she Chicago Tr.-
bure that Jay Gould Is the party who
nominated Gresham to the presidency.
Towards the close of 1886 Judge Ores
ham rendered q decision against Gould's
Wabash system of railroad. The Tri-
bune relates the circumstances:
On the 7th of December of that year
Judge Gresham rendered decision re-
moving one Solon Humphreys. friend
of the aforesaid guileless Gould, from
the receivershlp of the Wabash road,
and soon after appointed Judge Cooley
of Michigan thereto. This action was
described at the time as ''a bold and
vigorous blow at one OF the wickedest
pieces of scheming and chicanery that
this country has ever known in She line
of corporation corruption" In deliver.
ing this blow Judge Gresham aroused
the been sensibilities OF Mr.. Gould, oi
ment discovered in the vigorous minded
Judge future candidate for the presi
denoy When Mr.. Gould had read the
decision he exclaimed: 20, / see tha
Judge Gresham is candidate for ths
presidencyw The people took Mr.
9ould's presidential mention of Judge
Gresham as seriously as Gould took the
decision in the Wabash case. They be
gan to ask themselves: Why not Ores.
ham They have kept asking themselves
that question until the present day
They will probably go on asking them
selves that question, particularly the re
publlcans among them, until Gresham
is elected president.
