DEVELOPER OF SPAWN.

The News, i'll its write up Of Geo. T.
Mills, Republican gold candidate for
State Senator, eulogized him as a
developer of Ormsby county, and in
proof of its assertion stated that he
developed the spawn at the Fish Hatch
cry and ran behind S13co, which the
Legislature made up and then abol-
ished his office. AS a developer OF
spawn, Mills, we confess, is a howl
ing success, but as a taxpayer and
promoter of the interests of Ormsby
county he is a dead failure. For &c
years he has drawn a handsome
salary from the V. & 7. R. R. but not
a CEN of it has been invested in the
county. If he has done anything
outside of developing spawn and en-
ploying Cinnamon to load wood on
the cars, the people of Ormsby are not
aware of it.

I.-Why should the people Of

much for fares and ireights as the

AWAY is it necessary for mer-
chants of Virginia, Carson, Gardner
vile and Reno to haul their goods by
teams TO the c. P. if they are no'

3.-Why does the V. & T. dis
criminate i'll favor Of the Wood COM
pany in Carrying wood and com
pelling wood choppers to haul their
wood by teams because they cannot
pay the e~xorbitant freight charges.
4-Why does the Y. & T. run the
Enterprise and the News and use the
money tilched from the people BY
high fares and freights in paying the
expenses of bringing editors here to
Islander, abuse and lie about public
men who have always performed their
duty honestly and conscientiously?
5.--Why does the V. & T. attempt
to evade its Just taxes to the State.
6.-Why did its manager testify
under oath III the tax cases that there
was no money to the credit of the
Railroad when there was $50 900 i'll
bank?
1.-The county of Ormsby gave the
V. x T. $500, 900 toward the cOn-
struction of the Road. The county OF
Storey gave $500, 900, the Comstock
Mining Companies gave 1857 900.
The Y. 4 7. has divided as profits
between $4,000, o and $40, 900, 900
from the investment made by the
counties and Companies above named
This $685., 600 and interest is dread

tell the people why the V. & T.
should not be compelled to return
this money now amounting with in
terest to s. ,ooo, 900 the same as the
c. P. was forced by the act of Con
gress to refund every dollar it received
from the Government for the same
purpose as those for which the people
of Nevada were taxed to raise money
so that a braZen corporation and its
alien manager could get rich?
Sis it not a fact that the hue
aud cry raised by the V. & T. organs
against the Central Pacific is to focus
the attention of the people on the
Central Pacific 50 that they will not
press the V. & T. to refund the $751;
900 with interest it owes the couu.os

Gated in the crime to be allowed her lib

When her husband was taken from her
on Sunday night her actions betokened
stoical indifference. feebly disguised
under a mask of melodramatic grief at
his arrest. AT that time it was arranged
for her to call at the jail yesterday after
noon with the understanding that she was
to be granted an audience with her hus-
band
She kept her tryst faithfully.
Acting under orders, the jailer did not
permit her to see her husband, and she
reached her cottage when Deputy Sheriff
Al White drove up in his buggy. He gave
the woman the impression she would see
her husband, and unwittingly she stepped
into the trap so artfully set by the repre-
Sentatives of the law.
In half an hour she was sitting in a
comfortable waiting-room of the grim jail

would meet her husband. While she

WIFE JOINS HUSBAND
BEHIND PRISON BARS
Mrs. Brandes Held, But Brandes Believed to Be
the Guilty One---A Lead-Bound
Club Used.

Mrs. Eta Brandes, stepmother OF the
girl so brutality murdered at Berkeley
Saturday morning, was taken to Alameda
County Jail yesterday afternoon, where
she will be detained pending the verdict
of the Coroner's jury. This judicial body
will meet tonight in the small Morgue of
the university town to weigh the evidence,
which seems to indicate that the unfortun-
ate child met her death at the hands of
either her father or her stepmother
Thus far the case resolves itself into
two questions: Who administered the
blows which proved fatal to Lillian Bran
des life? And who tied the girl to the
bedpost if. in fact, she were ever so sus-
pended? Developments yesterday point
to the stepmother as equally guilty with
her husband in the crime that robbed the
unfortunate girl of her life.
Not only does she admit having thrash
ed the girl severely, but her story and
that of her husband are found to differ
in many particulars, showing that either
parent knows much more than has yet
been told. There are many important de-
tails which must be explained. There is
much to be learned which nothing but
rigid cross examination can bring out
The whole fabric of the remarkable case
rests upon circumstantial evidence No
person knows who killed the girl save the
man and the woman, who deny abso-
lutely that their daughter met her death
in any other manner than by suicide.
They scott at the suggestion that the
mere incident of her whipping on last
Wednesday is the direct cause of her
death. They both reiterate with but
slight variation of detail the fact that

ancies between statements ne had MADE

clear statement of his movements
either before or after that fateful moment
and found her, as he maintains, suspend
ed from the bedpost. He thinks DR.. Whit
worths statement that the girl died OF
strangulaion should be accepted, as he
| examined her body Immediately after 1t
was cut down. DR.. Whitworth's exam1na-
ton at this time was superficial one
and not to be compared to the careful re-
search of the six surgeons who were pres

Brandes' dinner of coarse prison fare
was on the floor near his bed, and from
appearances had not been touched by him.
1t was long past the hour when his wife
had promised to visit him, and her nom
appearance worried him. He said she
would surely come, little knowing that at
that moment she was within call of his
voice and yet could not speak to him.
He reverted to the stories of his life in
Sausalito, where he was charged with
brutality and was finally compelled to
leave the town. He claimed these to have
been exaggerated and as having no bear
ing on his present crime, AS to his

occasions he simply spelled his name

girl was murdered. This is a heavy po-

possible contradictions may come the true
