To be Tried for Murder.
QUELQUEFoIs.

The Reno journal publishes the fol-
lowing special dispatch from San
Quentin prison, California:
John Hancock, a convict who is
serving sentence of ten years for
burglary committed in Santa Ana two
years ago, is to be taken to Phoebe.
Nevada, to be tried on a charge of
murder.
For three years the authorities of
Lincoln county have been endeavor-
ing to get possession of Hancock to
try him for the murder of George
Engelke and George Edmundson of
Ogden, Utah, on the desert of Southern
Nevada in the spring of 1897.
The history of this case has thread
of romance running through it. Three
years ago Hancock and his wife, now
Mrs. Geo. d. Cross of Phoebe, Nevada,
started from Santa Ana across the Ne
vada desert for Phoebe.
At the Pahrump ranch, near the Cal
ifornia and Nevada line, they met
Engelke and Edmundson. The four
travelled together until they were near
De Lamar
Hancock and his wife arrived in
Phoebe alone, and for over a year the
disappearance Of Engelke and Ed
mundson was one of absolute mystery,
no trace of the missing men having
been found on the desert.
In the meantime Hancock and his
wife separated and she had met and
fallen in love with man named Cross.
Her husband learned of her infidelity
and threatened her life.
Anxious to get rid of him, she went
to the authorities and confessed that
her husband had murdered the two
men. She described the murder in de-
tail and told how her husband had
compelled her TO bury the bodies in
the sands of the desert and to burn the
murdered mems wagon and effects.
She even drew a map Of the locality
where the tragedy occurred and the
Nevada authorities went to the place
and found the skeletons of the two
murdered men, each with its skull
crushed in
Hancock learned of his wife's con-
fession and fastened back to Santa
Ana, confessed 20 burglary COM
mitted there some time before and was
railroaded to San Quentin for ten years.
District Attorney McNamee of Lin
coin county, Nevada, visited Govern
or Gage last week and received assur-
ance from him that he would permit
Hancock to be extradited.

The Candidates Speech.

A candidate for the Office of consta-
bic in Boone county, Kentucky, re-
Gently made the following speech:
Ladies and Gentlemen, for / am
glad to see that there are some ladies
here. No place in the wide world are
ladies so fair of face, so bright of mind
or so small of feet as on Coal river. In
offering myself as a candidate l am
called forth by the need of the hour.
The country is going to ruin. The
President has tried to check it by issu-
ing bonds, but the country needs free
silver. Where is the man in this vast
audience there were just fourteen pres
emit that dares to deny that a double
standard amt better than single one?
Amt double tree better than single
tree? Did you ever see a single man
that was any account? This amt no
one-horse country; it needs all the
standards it can git. The President
amt been able to help you. Congress
amt been able to help you. The conn-
try is goin' TO ruin. The old ship of
state is going down grade with all
brakes off, name and tail flying,
hell whoopin' ('seuse me, ladies, but
that's how she's goin'l, to its destrue-
ton. But, thank God, there's hope
yet. Elect me constable, and I'll settle

Growth Of the Census.

The Constitution requires an emu
meration of the people once in ten
years. The census which is to be taken
this year, beginning on the first day of
June, viii be the twelfth When the
first census was taken in 1890, there
was only thirteen States, but the emu
meration included the people in Yer
mout, Kentucky and Tennessee, not
then admitted to the Union. The
whole population in that year fell
short of 100000. There are now four
States which exceed that number of
inhabitants; and there are almost f.
100000 people in the States of the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast.
In the early part of this century the
census was simple affair 1t was
merely count of the persons living at
the time. Additional inquiries have
been made from time to time, until. at
the present day, the work of the CEN
sus covers a vast field of inquiry and
includes statistics upon an immense
variety of subjects. The results re-
quire more than score of bulky vol
umes 10 contain them; the facts are
obtained and tabulated by an army of
several thousand persons and the cost
IS many millions of dollars. The CEN
sas is taken for the benefit of the peo-
pie themselves, and the statistics are
useful for deducing many conclusions
important in science, industry and
other great interests. 1t is therefore
proper that everyone should lend his
aid in making the returns full and
accurate.-.SikueI Iole.

THE WEEKLY COURIER
Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The Standard Oil
Company has just declared a quarterly
dividend amounting to s2l 100000. 1t
is the biggest paying corporation on
the globe; nothing approximating
such immense profits were ever known
before. When questioned about the
manner in which 50 much money had
been made, the stockholders ''passed
the matter over IS though It were an
ordinary matter for the Standard Oil
Company. Il IS estimated that the
Carnegie steel Company viii make
over $4,000, 600 IN profits during the
year 1900. and i IS known that the
company made over s., o63, 900 during
the year 1899 in profits. The United
States pays on its bonded debt some
thing Ike 5000, 600 every quarter. 1t
will thus be seen that me Standard Oil
Company paid over four times more
than the United States for the quarter
Just ended. The Republican party is
the party of Protection, Expansion
and Prosperity. to use the lannuage of
the leaders of that party. Protection
to our infant industries viii certainly
receive a rude shock frem the above
figures-if the people are not all fools
all the time. Expansion and ''benevo-
lent assimilation viii net fare better,
because the real object ofthe Christian
izing mission OF the party has been re-
vealed in the measure Of the Admins
tration to place protective tariff up
on the sugar and tobacco of Porto Rico
imported into the United States, show
ing the rank hypocrisy Of the Admins
tration in all its pretensions. Nor viii
the party fare any better as "repub-
hcan'' party. Its position with refer
ence to the brave little Republics of
South Africa, bordering upon open +
enmity TO a republican form of govern +
ment, ought to cost that party nearly +
the entire German vote of the country, /
and the vote of every true Republican. |
1t will have to depend upon the lin
FAINT industries for its entire support
outside Of the regular army of Office
holders.

A persistent attempt is being made
to impress the people of Douglas coun-
ty with the idea that if Joe Pete is ex-
ecuted that the Indians will take re
yenge, and few timid people have
been more or less frightened by it.
These rumors were circulated in adj
vance of the trial, particularly in and
about Genoa, and for that reason the
prosecution excused every juryman
called from Genoa. The object of the
circulation Of the reports of danger
from the Indians in case Of a eonyie-
ton of murder in the first degree was
to save the defendants life. if possible.
Whether any one entered into a con-
tract with the Indians, or with Joe
Pete himself, as a condition for his
surrender, that he should not hang, of
course, no one can positively state
but it seems strange that men should
interpose any obstacle to the dne ex-
ecution of the law. As matter of fact,
am informed by the District Attorney
that the Indians know that the de-
PENDANT was fairly and impartially
tried, and that IS all they have ever
asked. They further understand their
own interests in the community in
which they live. and that any attempt
on their part to terrify the people OF
the county would create such dis
trust against them that they would
soon find employment very scarce in
the valley. They also know that the
whites have always protected them
selves, and viii likely continue to do
so. They further know that Joe Pete
killed VIII Dangberg in his own house,
and without any cause, after having
been ordered out, and after refusing 70
go out, and when he could with per-
feet safety 70 himself have retired in
peace. The evidence did not leave
the remotest shadow Of doubt on those
points. The facts are so thoroughly
incorporated in the record that counsel
has not a single exception to the evil
dence, and the only grain of hope LEFT
is that the Court may have erred in
instructions TO the jury, and in the
alleged misconduct of one juror, who,
one evening, took a drink Of black
berry brandy in a saloon, for sickness;
but the affidayits show that it was done
in the presence of the Sheriff, and the
deputy Sheriff and the other eleven
Jurors we're near BY. No wrong is
claimed TO have been committed, but
il is claimed that any separation of the
Jury is ground for new trial. This is
true ii the separation occurs after the
Jury receive the instructions of the
Court and retire to consider their YER
diet, but if the same occurs during the
trial, in addition to showing the sepa'
ration, 1t must be shown that the de
PENDANT did not get a fair and impair
tia trial. However, in this case, there
was no separation, aud no wrong was
done. unless it is wrong in Douglas
county for a man to drink alone anc
leave eleven others standing high and
dry on the porch.
