bers OF the body found it difficult to
straighten the parliamentary mess
John McGinness, the majority leader
Is proving of more trouble to the
speaker than anyone else, and some
sharp exchanges have taken place.
Just one hundred bills had been
dropped into the hopper when ad.
iournment was taken last evening
fifty-two In the senate and forty.
eight In the house, and from the many
notices already given there Is going
to be nearly as many more within
the next fortnight. Probably not
forty measures will actually pass.
The five school bills recommended
by the meeting of school trustees
have all been introduced and are with
the committee on education, which
also has other bills covering the same
subjects previously introduced. The
heaviest work In this connection will
be done In committee and there il
reasonable hope that the legislature
will, before adjournment, have added
some legislation which will prove o
benefit to the educational interests
The eight hour bill has been passed
by the house as originally introduced
by Quinn, except for minor aitera
tions, and will now go to the senate

Chief Officer of Madison Coun>
ty Shot While Making
Service on Warrant
THE MURDERER WAS CAPTURED
Feeling Of Populace Points to
Lynching Of the Fiend
When Officers Arrive.

Virginia City, Jan. 26.-Wolff, the
murderer oiSheriff las. Summers. was
captured at $50 this morning at John
Conway's ranch. The capture was
made by a posse led by Thomas
Whitney, the other members being
William j. Ennis, Ezra Plumb and
Richard Peel. Wolf freely admitted
the shooting.
Sheriff Summers had gone to VOLTS
cabin To serve search warrant on
him, as he had been accused OF rob
bing the cabin OF L. s. Briggs In that
vicinity. The sheriff was instantly
killed and Wolff skipped.
He stopped at the Ennis ranch Fri
day night and didn't have either hat
or coat. He explained that his horse
bucked him. During the night Wolf
stole fresh saddle horse from the
barn and rode away to Conway's +
ranch. He slept in hnyloft ut this
place, had breakfast mt the house,
and while starting on his way again
Whitney's posse came upon him and
placed him under arrest.
Wolff used 1850 rifle. lie gives
no motive for the crime.
Not since the davs ofthe vigilantes
has there been such excitement In old
Alder Gulch. There is u strong feel
ing here In favor OF the lynching Of
Wolff, who will probably be brought
to town about 5 o'clock.
Unless calmer council prevails the
friends of Summers will take the law
into their own hands.
Hundreds oi them have coDgragHt-
ed about town and it looks ominous
for the murderer.
1t IL possible that they willride out
OF town before WoliaIcivcI and take
him out vi the hands Of the posse Il
is not likely that there would be much
opposition to giving him up in view
OF the prevailing sentiment.
The body Of Sheriff Summers was
brought to Virginia City today, and
this served to intensity the excite
ment. An examination OF the body
shows that it was pierced through
and through, sideways, by the bullet,
proving beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the murder was cold.
blooded one.
At $50 O'Clock this afternoon a
large body Of men started out to
meet the posse !, nd murderer. What
their object was could not he learned,
but many fear that the body Of Wolf
will be swinging from rafter before
the rise of to-morrow's sun.
Wolff IL only boy. being Is years
old.
The dead sheriff was one OF the
most popular citizens OF Madison
county. He was known to almost
every man, woman and child In the
county. His loss will be felt keenly.
James Summers was about 81 years
old and was first elected sheriff OF
Madison county on the Democratic
ticket in 1898. SO ably and honestly
did he administer the Office that he
was reelected last fall by large
vote. His home was in Virginia City.
Mr.. Summers will be buried Sunday
afternoon at 800 o'clock.
LATER-Wolff arrived here in Gus
tody and was placed in jail.
