S. sackett's Harbor, N. :. April IA
4 horrible crime was committed near here
some time Thursday nigh During the
afternoon or evening George Allen. Z
steward at Madison barracks, hired Q
horse and carriage and took two wem-.
en- out driving. One Of his companions
was young lady Of sackett's Harbor,
Miss May DAILY. and the other was a li!
,vorced woman, Mrs. Crouch. At $3.50
o'clock Friday morning the horse came
back to the livery stable, drawing the
carriage, with the bodies OF the two
women in the bottom Of it. About this
: time Allen ame.staggering into the
barracks in q weakened condition. and
he, too, is expected to die. He has made
an ante-mortem statement to the eff
feet that Crouch, husband of the: di.
vorced woman, assaulted the whole
party, murdered the two women and
wounded him (Allen).
One of the women was between the
dashboard and the wheel with her head
hanging nearly on the ground. The
other was lying on her side. The cloth-
ing of both was badly torn. The dress
of one of the women was burned along
the arm, as also was her flesh, which
makes it conclusive that the firing was
done at short range, causing the cloth
ing to become ignited. In the rig was
found q six-chambered revolver, with
four loaded cartridges and two empty
chambers. The revolver is the property
o. Allen. According to Aliens story
. he was thrown out of the buggy near
the iron bridge which spans Mill
creek, and fell into the water, but SOON
extricated himself and, shot and
stabbed as he was, he managed to crawl
to the kitchen door of the quarters, but
on his arrival there was unable to
speak. He was nearly unconscious. :
:. Crouch was arrested and placed
under close surveillance. A knife was
< found in his pocket, but no blood stains
: were on it, nor was there anything
about his appearance, nor about his
actions, to point toward his guilt.
. Crouch and his wife have not lived
together for a long time. ;
The coroner's jury brought in a yer.
dict to the effect that Crouch killed
*; the women, and he was taken to the
Jefferson county Jail in Watertown for.

appeared cool and collected, and said,
laughing: "Well, sheriff, they've
brought me to you, but I guess I won't
be with you long," He appears to be
confident that his innocence will soon

BUr, WILL THEY ACT9

The American Federation Of La
Dor, on paper, is as sound rs the heart
of sturdy oak tree on the subject
of Secretary Cages infamous meas
ure to place this Government and
this people still more under the con-
troll OF tho National Banks. Here is
the resolution which was passed at
the meeting at Nashville on Mon
day:
"GesoTved, That we declare our
selves most positively opposed to the
Gage financial bill, recently intro
duced in Congress by request OF the
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t Is
measure that, if adopted as a law,
will only all the more firmly rivet the
gold standard on the people OF the
country, and perpet"ate its sdisas-
trous effects in every form.
@Resolved, That we pronounce the
Gage bill an nndisgulsed effort to re-
tire our greenback currency and all
Government paper money, with
view to the substitution of National
Bank notes in their stead, and thus
fasten the National Bank system for
years upon the American people"
How long, o Lord, how long shall
it be that these wholesale millionaire
swindlers of Nation and Of people
shall manipulate the finances of this
Government to their own marvellous
profit, and to the further and SEEM
ingly perpetual indebtedness of a
great country
1t would not be for long if the la
boring classes Of the United States
had the good sense and the deter min
alton to act, as we'll as the fore
thought to resolve. We very mach
fear, however, that the next time the
masses are called upon to vote at a
Presidential election, vast numbers
of them will forget the above resolu-
tions passed at Nashville on Monday,
will be caught by some high-sound-
ing phrases, or frightened by lying
declarations Of dangers to come,
scattered broadcast both by press and
by pulpit, and will again by their
votes tighten the clutch Of the Ma
tional Banks and the gold gamblers
on the necks Of Nation and Of people.
Let US hope not, even though we
hope against our fears.-Bee.

The Governors Reward.

When the Governor yesterday af-
ternoon promised that he would offer
a reward for the men who murdered
Adam Uber he meant business and
the proclamation was sent to the print
er today. 1t reads:
"By virtue of the authority in me
vested by the Constitution and laws
Of the State of Nevada, /, Reinhold
Sadler, Lieutenant and Acting Gov
ernor of the State Of Nevada, do here
by issue the following proclamation
and offer a reward of Five Hundred
Dollars to be paid for the arrest and
conviction Of the person or persons,
or any Of the persons, who, in vio-
lation of the laws of Nevada, lynched
one Adam Uber at Genoa, Douglas
county, on the morning of December
9th, 1897.
"The above reward will be paid
at Carson City, Nevada, to the per
son or persons entitled thereto"
The Governor in making that pay
able for the conviction Of any Of the
persons in that mob OF murderers has
put the matter in a light that some
one is going to be nipped. 1t would
be almost impossible to get the whole
two score but it is dead sure thing
that one or more can be nailed.
There is now more travel from
Gardnerville through Carson than
ever before and several of our Doug
las county neighbors have taken the
train for other parts. or course they
all say they are coming back but

that when the grand jury met in
Genoa there wouldn't be enough Of
that disreputable crowd left to make
