The Princess sarah.

Sarah Winnemucca, the noted Piute
Princess, was paying a royal visit to
Reno on the glorious Fourth, from
her Lovelock home, and seemed to
enjoy the festivities of the occasion
considerably. She was arrayed in a
light gray suit with black shawl, hat
and feathers, and looked like a grass
widow in half mourning. She chatted
vivaciously with numerous squads Of
squaws whom she met along the side
walks, and treated them to candy
from a package in her hand. A friend
said to the writer: 81 think you are
mistaken, but I'll find out" So he
stepped up to her as she was convers-
ing with a finely-dressed white lady,
saying: Excuse me, but are you
Sarah Winnemucca ?' "That's what"
replied the Princess, with native
dignity, waving any further irreverent
questions. Sarah's nose is sharper,
her eyes sunken, and she is not as fat
as she used to be, but she is still active
and influential for her peoples good

No Jack

The good people of Eastern Nevada

The good people of Elko county will
see to it that no Jack or any other

Mrs. Bates is in from Cherry Creek
endeayoring to III the pardon Of
her son, George Lewis, who was sent
to the State Prison for life for killing an
Italian at Bullionville, White Pine
county. Being Lewis first offense and
as he believed his own life in danger
when he committed the deed, the
Tribune thinks the Board is justified
in pardoning him. Another thing, the
boys health is rapidly failing, being
threatened with consumption, and in
generation will hasten the disease to a
fatal termination. The Board should
comfort the good old mothers heart by
pardonding the boy. They'll never
regret the act.-Carson Tribune.
The Tribune is mistaken as to the
location Of the homicide, as it was COM
mitted at Highland, a mile or two
above Bullion, Elko county. While
we have the highest regard for a
mothers devotion to her son, we can
not forget that the murdered man also
had a mother; more than this the
evidence adduced at the trial here
showed that Lewis, after having some
difficulty with Piccoli, walked down
from Highland to Bullion where he
procured a pistol, then walked back
up the steep grade to Highland and
shot Piccoli in his, (the Italian's) own
cabin.
As we have heretofore stated we
are consciously opposed to capital
punishment, believing that life i'm
prisonment is a proper punishment for
murder; but when a man is proven
OF a deliberate murder; even
though his victim be an Italian, and
sentenced to life Imprisonment we are
opposed to turning him loose IN the
after a few years imprison-
ment, unless it can be clearly proven
the condemned is innocent Of the
crime with which he was charged
