BACGETT WANTS TROOPS.
Governor Sadier Refuses to Fur
IRISH Them.
San Francisco. March 25th. 1896.

DEAR SIR:-The unlawful conduct
KIDNAPPING and by force compelling
Mr.. Fl. W. Tanoerman, a reputable
citizen Of this State. TO leave Virginia
CITY has naturally met the condem-
nation OF all right thinking, law
abiding people. Mr.. Tangerman has
informed me that he conversed with
YOU concerning this matter with a
view 70 seeing what, il any, protection
Won as the chief executive of the State
OF Nevada could aft ,rd him in case he
should insist upon his lawful right t.
continue his business az Superinten-
dent OF the Hale & Norcross Mining
Company.
I am not certain what your con"lu-
sions were from Mr.. Tangerman'a
statement to me. I would therefore,
as his attorney, and az attorney for
the Hale & Norcross Mining Company
most respectfully ask you to
now inform you whether or not the
State of Nevada could on would fur
irish sufficient military force t o rein
state Mr.. Tangerman in his rosition
at Virginia CITY as SUPERINTENDENT OF
the Hale & Norcross Mining Company
and insure him protection from per
sonaI violence. It is known that the
application to the Sheriff Of the
County on behalf of Mr.. Tangarman
met with either A direct refusal or a
confession Of inability on the part of
that officer to afford him protection
from the outrage which he received
on last Saturday at the hands Of GER
tain individuals claiming to he mpm-
bers Of the Miners Union of Virginia
CITY.
If it is impossible for the State Of
Nevada TO afford the necessary pro-
lection to Mr.. Tangormau to conduct
his lawful business as a guarantee
by the constitution Of vour State and
ever other State in the CIVILIZED
world, then I ask if Won VIII aid us in
making the proper repra a'ltatiOn 70
the federal government srr such aid
as may he necpssar. E0ier the cir
cumstances Of the aggravated case.
Mr.. Tangerman spoke very hiol'v
Of you and your sympathy for him
in the embarrassing position in which
be had been placed.
If you will he kind enough to ans
wer this communication at yOur earli-
est convenience as I desire to take
some action in the matter. I should
be very much pleased to meet YOU if
if Won could find it convenient to he
in San Francisco at any very early
date. Again thanking You for vour
consideration and sympathy I remain
Yours verv truly
w. t. BAGGETT.
