LYrcHlNo IN DOUGLAS COUNTY
A Murderer Taken from Jail, Hanged
10 tree and his Body Riddled with
Bullets.

A week ago last Friday night d
+ teainster named Hans Anderson was
shot and killed in a saloon at Gard.
neryille, in Douglas county, and
the murderer, a common drunk
and vagabond named Adam Uber
was placed in jail at Genoa. 1t
seems that Anderson had called
several friends up to the bar when
Uber, who was already intoxicated
crowded up too. There was already
some bad blood between the two
men and Anderson pushed Uber
away twice, when the latter pulled
gun as he lay ON the floor where
he had fallen, and shot Anderson in
the breast. Uber was Immediately
arrested and taken to the county
Jail at Genoa. Anderson was pop
ular and there was some talk of a
lynching, but the law was allowed
to take its course.
A preliminary examination was
hYld, Uber was also indicted, when,
at about five o'clock on the Morning
of December 7th. a mob of twenty
masked men visited the Court House
at Genoa and called to Sheriff Brock
liss that the Constable of Gardner
vile was there with a prisoner and
wanted admittance. The Sheriff
was slow in responding and the
doors leading through the Recor-
ders Office to the hallway of the Jail
were smashed with sledge ham
mer Sheriff Brockliss and Con-
stable Gray, who were sleeping
in the Sherifl's office, were over
powered and the keys to the Jail Sc
cured and the helpless man dragged
from his cell into the storm bare
footed and half naked and marched
distance from the town. Uber's
screams were silenced by gag and
the two shirts he wore were torn from
his body. When the Boyd lane was
reached he was told to pray, but was
given little opportunity He was
strung up in the presence of the
Sheriff and Constable, who had been
forced by armed men to accompany
them to the spot After the helpless
man had been jerked up he was shot
eight OF nine times. His naked body
was left hanging to the tree until
8 o'clock the next morning, when
the Coroner took it in charge. Three
bullet holes were found in his back,
one in each arm, one in the chin and
he was shot in two or three other
places.
The mob is supposed to have
come from Gardnerville.
The Courier says the citizens of
Genoa denounce the deed of lawless-
ness as an outrage and crime of the
blacklist kind, for the prisoner was
in a fair way to receive fair trial
and proper punishment for the
crime he committed. Right mind
ed people grieyed and incensed that
the law was not allowed to take its
course

The Milford Extension.


Reliable information reaches us
that important matters are going in
New York with regard to the extern
sion of the Union Pacific road south
from Milford.
At the same time news comes that
the Los Angeles people are wide
awake for the extension of road
this way, a branch of which recently
penetrated the Randsburg mining
district.
Two years or less time, promises
to see road operating to the coast
through this country and the ques-
ton now is whether the extension
from Milford will be theonly one to
go, and whether it will follow down
Meadow Valley Wash, which is ao-
knowledged to be the shorter route,
or follow out west through the Bris.

which while longer is acknowledged
to be the best route for mineral.

Stateline Notes.

Frisco is nearer Stateline than Mil
ford by about ten miles and the
road is said to be good. 1t may be
adopted rs general railroad ship
ping point for this section rather
than Milford.
There is talk of constructing tel
ephone line from Frisco to Phoebe,
to run via Stateline, Deerlodge, and
Spring Eagle Valleys 1t would be Il
greatconvenience and would greatly
facilitate business.
The Stateline Company expects to
have its mill in operation in about
two weeks now. Manager Popkiss
is quietly reaching out for other pro-
missing properties in the camp.
Among his recent acquisitions is a
bond on large interest in the Ophir

opened up a good body of fair ore 1t
is said the Company contemplates the
erection of steam hoist there short
". They have made number of
surface improvements already.
Long before midwinter reaches

Final Meeting Between Miners
& And Operators At Pittsburg
Ends In Smoke.
A BREAK IN WHEAT TO-DAY
The President at the G. A. II.
Encampment and Ohio Wants
Everything in Sight.
GREAT FUTuRITY STAKES

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 24-The
final session OF the conference between
the miners officials and the coal oper-
ators is now in session.. The only
question is the rate of wages. The
operators propositions range from
fifty.four to sixtv-one cents, the miners
to resume work, pending decision by
the board OF arbitration. The miners
suggest that they resume work at
the sixty. nine cent rate, pending
decision by the board of arbitration.
The miners officials have declared that
they will not back down from this ar.
rangement. The general impression is
that the conference will accomplish
practically little. Vice. President Nc
Kay stated that many of the operators
mad agreed to pay the price and there
is no reason why they should not all do
the seme. Unii they do, there Will b
no cpal mined in the district.
The con 'erence between The miners
and the coal operators came to a sud
dep termination at noon. Neither side
would yield. consequently no. basis of
arbitration could be arranged
