PosISe As A mARrYR.
Vic Bouton Makes q Md for the
Title Of Herr.

4
AT Winnemuccs last week Judge
Bonnifield denied the motion for q
new trial in the Victor Bouton case
and sentenced Bouton for seven years
in the Carson State Prison. He is q
brother of Madeline Bouton, the
noted actress, and was convicted OF
being the ring leader of a band OF
cattle thieves that has long terrorized
Northwestern Nevada and North
eastern California.
This is the first conviction ever
had in the country for cattle steal
ing. When asked by the Judge if
he bad anything to say Bouton care-
lessly replied that he had not. On
receiving the sentence he smiled and
said: "Thank you" Bouton seems
indifferent to his fate and goes TO
prison carrying with him the secrets
which would cause lively sensation
in Humboldt county if he would
divulge his knowledge concerning
the stealing of cattle in this region.
He denied to a reporter that he was
guilty, but intimated he had infor-
nation which would send others to
the States Prison. He said he would
not divulge the information, but
would suffer alone.
This bears out the dramatic state
ment Bouton made when on the stand
when he was asked where be got the
money to buy the cattle, and if a
certain woman had not given it to
him. He got up, and. in an excited
manner, said he would go up for life
rather than divulge the name of the
woman who gave him the money.
The woman in question is suppos-
ed to be the wife OF prominent
citizen Of Humboldt county. Bouton
was taken to Carson on Saturday
by Sheriff McDeid. He maintains
the same Indifference which has
characterized his actions while he
has been in the County Jail for the
last eight months. He denies his
guilt, says he knows who commit
ted the crime, but steadfastly refuses
to give the other guilty parties
away

The Census Office is deeply inter.
ested in the welfare of the stock in
dustry of the country. Stockmen
are receiving schedules to be filled
out in which they are asked to in
form that Bureau how many cattle
they own and what their ages are;
what they are worth; how much land
is required to Craze them on; wheth-
er they own or lease the land. and
what it is worth; how many cattle
they bought last year and what they
paid for them; how many they sold,
and what they received for them.
From any other source such ques.
tions would be considered inquisi-
tive bordering on impertinence, but
it is everybody's privilege to ask
questions.

Metal Boom Reaches Maximum.

The Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal says there is a general belief that
the boom in business has reached its
elimination, at any rate so far as
prices are concerned, and that any
change now must be in downward
direction. This is shown by the
fact that the reduction in prices
ordered by the American Steel and
Wire Company was followed by
weakness, not only in steel and iron
quotations but in those of copper
and other metals.

BOER REPRESENTATION.
They Are Given Royal welcome
I'm New York.

I'm New York.
The Boer representative were given
reception on their arrival in New
Y ork City on May 16, and were warmly
welcomed by the Mayor and other city
officers. A dispatch from Washington,
dated May IS, says: Messrs. VOL
marens, Fisher and Vessels, the Boer
commissioners OF the Transvaal, ar
rived in Washington tonight. On ar
irving at the Arlington hotel they were
given an informal reception. Con-
gressman Sulzer, the chairman of the
reception committee, introduced the
ENJOYS, and then briefly made an ad-
dress welcoming the visitors to the
capital in the name "Of the liberty
loving people of the greatest nation
on earth"
Delegate Fischer responded. He
thanked those present very much for
their kindness. and hoped to have the
opportunity to show whether they de-
served it or not.
After retiring to their rooms, Mr..
Fischer outlined to the representatives
of the press what they hope TO accom-
plish in the United States. 1--WE are"
said he, supplied with credentials
from our Governments, and have full
power to act in diplomatic capacity.
1t will not be proper for US at this
time to say what our course will be be-
fore we have taken steps to communi-
cate with those with whom we expect
to deal. We come in the interest of
peace and a cessation of the bloody
war. We are engaged in a struggle
with the country with which your Ma
ton was engaged over 100 years ago,
and we feel that we will have the
moral support of your people. The
Beers will not give up the struggle.
"The Beers are willing that this
trouble shall be settled by arbitration,
and although an effort was made to
settle it in that way before the war be-
gan, it was without result. We are
still willing that the trouble shall be
settled by arbitration, and are willing
to abide by the results. We are anxious
that the United States investigate the
question OF difference and use its in
fluence to put an end to the war;"
