Vaughan Arrives az Reno.

The Reno Journal OF last Saturday
says: Alpheus Vaughan, whose case
has been transferred from Lander
county to this. arrived on the train last
night in charge Of Sheriff Easton OF
Lander county. Vaughan, it will be
remembered, vas charged with the Lit
ster murder in Lander county that oc-
Cured over a year ago, and has been
tried twice and found guilty each time
Of murder in the first degree, but in
each instance on an appeal to the Su-
preme Court, sufficient grounds were
found to grant q new trial. 1t has been
conceded that a third could not be OBJ
tanned in Lander county, hence the
change OF venue to this.
Those who were at the train last
evening and who had never seen
Vaughan, expected to see a hard-faced
criminal, but were surprised when he
stepped down from the car, at seeing
comparatively a boy OF 10 or 20 years
old, rather good looking and in no way
indicating a criminal, his handouts
being the only ~upleasant feature in his
general appearance. Sheriff Caughlin
took charge Of and he was taken to Jail
TO await his third trial.

the owners faith in the property and
also carries the undoubted right 10

ropean investors look upon a Govern
ment patent to mineral property as a
matter of prime Importance, and a
passport to their confidence, when a

been made. or property even consid-
cred, on account OF absence of United

n Mining Man and Capitalist
Dies I'm western Australia.

Dies I'm western Australia.
The San Francisco Call OF last Satur-
day gives the following particulars Of
the death OF our former fellow citizen I:
Reuben Richard, for many years m
Of the best known silver and lead min
ing men on the coast, died Thursday
in Western Australia.
A cablegram was received in this city
yesterday by Thomas Rickard appris-
ing him Of his fathers death. The
message came from Thomas Rickard,
a brother of the deceased, and was sent
from Albany, the capital Of Western
Australia. II is believed, however,
that Mr.. Richard died at Perth. a port
about 100 miles to the northward, for
at the time Of writing his last letter to
his son, he mentioned the prevailing
excessive heat and its fatal effects upon
many Of the inhabitants, and added
that he proposed to remain in Perth
until the oppressive temperature
should subside, when he would 90 in
land to the arid Coolgardie mining re-
gion.
IL was in connection with these mines
that Mr.. Richard left here on the
steamer Mariposa the 14th Of last No
vember. He had accepted a commits
sion from an English syndicate at s10,-
900 a year to look out for investments
in Western Australia, and he was al
lowed his expenses and an assistant.
At the time Of his death he was investi-
eating the practicability Of constructing
a railroad from the waterless country
about the Coolgardie mines to Espe-
Bay, a point about 100 miles east
Of Albany and probably $50 miles from
the mines, the purpose being to trans
port the ores to water.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Richard be-
came superintendent Of the celebrated
Richmond Mining Company at Eureka
Nevada. Identified with the Richmond
silver and lead industry during the
years when it paid large dividends he
finally, about five years ago, retired
from the business a rich nan Suisse
quently he was engaged in exporting
mines for different English companies.
A little over a year ago he went to
Denver to take temporary charge of a
mine belonging to his brother while
the latter was absent in London COM
plotting arrangements for the sale OF
the property. While in Denver Mrs.
Richard suddenly died, and it was
largely due TO q desire to have some
thing to occupy his time that the CAPT.
talist decided to resume an active life,
and went to Australia.
Reuben Richard was about So years
OF age. He leaves three children re-
siding in Berkeley. The eldest, Thomas
Richard, the w~eil-known local singer,
and a graduate of the State University,
is in the employ OF the Parke-Lacy
Company Of this city. Edward Rick
ard, the younger son, is a post-gradu-
ate student at Berkeley, and like his
brother, was identified with the college
glee club.
Miss Rickard, the only daughter. is
soon to be married TO Mr.. Fisher Of
Denver. In fact, Mr.. Fisher started
from Denver a few days ago. By a sad
coincidence the invitations to the we'd
ding we're sent out on the very day
Mr.. Richard died.
About six years ago the second son
met a tragic death at Berkeley. result
