Old Winter gave vigorous dying
kick Saturday and Sunday and three
feet Of snow fell on the mountains west
and south of Carson Valley. On the
Pine Nut mountains the fall was not
so heavy. Jack Bryant came down
from Monitor Monday morning and re-
ported two feet of snow at that town
and nearly three feet at the Stella
mine. On the summit between Mark
leeYille and Woodfords the axle of his
cart dragged in the snow and at Wood
fords there was depth of Is inches.
After being out about four hours,
the jury in the case of Joe Pete, the
Indian who killed VIII Dangberg,
found verdict of murder in the first
degree Saturday evening about Z
o'clock, and Judge Mack set Friday,
March 10th, rs the date for passing
sentence. There has been some talk
of appealing the case to the Supreme
Court. The Indians are supposed to
have little money and may decide to
spend il in an endeavor to prolong the
life of the prisoner. The verdict of the
jury appears to be satisfactory to
majority of the citizens of this section.
A recent ruling of the Second Assist
ant Postmaster General win be of es-
pecial interest to residents of this sec
ton who wish to bid on contracts for
carrying mail on star routes. The de-
cision is that men who do not live near
star routes cannot furnish proper
bond for the faithful performance of
star route contracts This is a direct
blow at the big mail contractors in the
east who take western mail contracts
and then sublet them. Contracts for
this section will not be made again
until 1902, but if the new policy is con-
tinued it is going to be of material ad
vantage to local residents to feel that
they are the only competitors and that
outsiders cannot cut their Threats and
then skin some local man into doing
the work afterwards at starvation
wages.
