Our whisky mill is now bearing
abundant fruit, especially on Sat.
urdays. Men are falling off of
their horses into the road drunk,
and are having to be dragged
out to one side to allow wagons
and buggies to pass, others have
to be held on their horses to pre-
vent them from falling off and
breaking their necks. At night
swearing, following and disturb
ing civil homes is common. Some
say it is q good thing as the peO-
pie can get a cent or two more per
bushel for their corn. What

Murder in the First Degree.
Was the verdict Of the jury in the
trial Of Indian Frank for the murder
Of Mrs. Vim. Del Crosse, a little over
a month ago, at Bridges Station. en-
the N. C. r. R. in this county. The
verdict gives general satisfaction, and
the hope is expressed on all sides that
a death sentence will be speedily full
filled in one of the most fiendish muir
ders ever committed in this section,
says the Reese River Reveille.
This, taken with his confession given
to Deputy Sheriff O'Connell in the
presence Of VIM. Schwin, made the
case very plain and only n result was
possible. The testimony in the trial
developed the following facts:
That the Indian came to the house
at Bridges station on horseback about
dark on October 3lst. On the invita-
ton of Mr.. Del Crosse he spent the
night there, having supper, bed and
breakfast. That he left after break
fast, going about a mile, and when he
saw Mr.. Del Crosse had gone to work
on his section. he returned to the house
killed Mrs. Del Crosse. by striking her
with a rock on the head and afterwards
strangling her; then went in the house
and strangled the year old baby in its
cradle.
He then took what plumber he want
ed and started for the mountains. His
trail was followed by experts and he
was finally caught at Spencer's ranch.
brought to town and fully identified by
Mr.. Del Crosse and his assistant, Clyde
Ganser, as being the Indian who stayed
over night with them the night before
the murder was committed.
The Court passed the following
judgement upon the condemned man:
You are to be held in the custody
of the sheriff until some future day
which will be designated in the warrant,
when you will be hanged by the neck
until you are dead"
The Silver State voices the senti-
ments of the press Of Nevada: Lam
der county's Indian fiend has Just been
convicted and sentenced to death. 1t is
presumed that the movement for the
Communication of the condemned In
dams sentence will be commenced at
once, following the precedent that an
Indian shall not be hanged in Nevada.
But for once il is to be hoped that
petitions will go for naught and that the
death sentence be carried out. Hum
boldt county has five buck Indians
growing fat in the State prison, all
serving life sentences for murder, and
every one of whom should have had
his neck broken at the end of six feet
of rope. If this thing keeps up the
State prison will soon be merely a
home for Indian murderers, where they
may pass their remaining years in
peace and comfort. Hang a few Of
them and they will begin to respect the
law. The way it has been admins
tered towards Indians In the past gives
them no fear Of the consequences of
wrong doing.

by those in a position to know and who
are considered the strongest workers in
the ward that Mr.. Leigh would GER
tainly win the ward delegation in the

COnl Line in Hand.
New York, March 9.-The Journal
and Advertiser will tomorrow publish
the following:
j. Pierpont Morgan has now absolute
control of the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Since March, 1897, he has held an option
on a block of 100000 shares of Lehigh
Valley stock belonging to the Packer
estate. The right to purchase this stock
was exercised yesterday (Thursday)
and $3,000,0O0 the cash covering the en-
tire transaction, will be paid to the
trustees Of the estate in Philadelphia by
Drexel & Co.
At the time the option on the Lehigh
Valley stock was given to J. p. Morgan
& Co. and Drexel & Co. the Packer es-
tate was heavily in debt, and the Le-
high Valley railroad found it difficult
to meet its fixed charges Certain i'm
provements were necessary which would
increase the earnings of the road, and
these banking firms undertook to float
an issue of $5,000,000 Of collateral trust
bonds out Of an authorized issue Of $15,-
100000. The Packer estate gave an op-
tion on its holdings Of 100000 shares and
other large blocks of stocks were pur-
chased by the banking firm.
