LOGAN HAS BEEN
FOUND GUILTY
Man Who Helped Rob the Winnemucca Bank
Convicted of Another Charge

Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry, the
Montana train robber and safe blower,
was found guilty on ten counts OF a
n-ineteen-count Indictment in the Fed
eral Court at Knoxville, Tenn, Friday.
Logan is one O.. the gang who robbed
the First NaAonal Bank of Winnemuc-
ca on September 10Th, 1900, and was
identified by Mr.. Nixon.
Logan, by the verdict, has been
found guilty of forging the names OF
bank officials to the Montana Bank
notes in six instances, passing illegal
money and having it in his possession.
Three.counts, in which he was charged
with concealing bank notes to the
amount of $500, were thrown out at
the suggestion of the prosecution. The
lowest punishment on any of the ten
counts is five years and the maximum
fifteen. Some of the counts being vir-
tually the same, however, Logan
stands to receive a sentence of from
thirty to ninety years.
Logan and his band on July 3, 1901,
held up a Great Northern train near
Wagner, Mont, opened the express
safe by dynamite and secured $4,000
in complete new bank notes lacking
the signature of the bank officials.
Logan was arrested on December Is,
1901, after shooting two policemen.

ONE OF THE HELPS
TO LOCAL TRADE

Winnemucca is recognized as III of
the principal shipping points between
Reno and Ogden. Borax is one of the
many products loaded OF cars here.
For the past six years the heavily
laden outfits from the rose Valley
Borax Works in Eastern Oregon have
been arriving here with the product OF
that establishment and returned load
ed with supplies for that region.
These works employ constantly from
ten to twenty-three men. The ship
ments amount to about $4,000 pounds
per month.

MERELY SUGGESTED

The Chamber Of Commerce idea is
no longer a theory in the development
of a community. It's practical value
has been demonstrated everywhere
when it was wei managed and COM
posed Of progressive, patriotic people.
Reno, after a year of discussion and
planning, has finally Incorporated a
Chamber of Comerce that bids faii
to add materially to the prosperity Of
the thriving metropolis of Nevada.
1t is almost impossible to compute
the advantages to accrue from such an
organization. 1t is a recognized au-
thority to be consulted by men and
companies who desire to locate in a
town. 1t is a duly constituted medium
for the dissemination of information
regarding a community in order to en-
courage the coming of colonists and
capital.
This paper will endeavor to repre-
sent the best interests of the commun-
ity in which it is published and to this
end desires an expression of opinion
from representative citizens in the
Chamber of Commerce matter.
Communications pro and o are so
licited and will be published from day
to day.

COUNTING THE STARS.
A Task That Will Take Two Green.
witch Clerks Three Years to
Complete.

Two clerks at the observatory at
Greenwich are essaying the extraor-
binary task of counting the stars.
They are attempting in all serious
ness feat which has always been
used satirically to typify the impos-
sible. So far they have counted 212,-
507 stars which, if astronomical call
culations be correct, is about one-fif-
teenth of the total number to be
found in the armament, states the
Philadelphia North American
The method of the tabulation is q
new evidence of the far-reaching sci
entitic possibilities of photography.
The enumerators do not sit out in
the starlight, and strive to count the
intinitesimal spots of light outlined
against the blue background. In-
stead, they have made great pho-
tographic chart of the heavens. This
chart consists of a number of plates
exposed at different times in order
to get all the planets and heavenly
bodies.
After the entire chart was COM
plete the two astronomers began the
work of counting with the aid OF mis-
croscopes. 1t is estimated that be-
fore the task is completed some
three years must elapse, for to in
sure accuracy the greatest care must
be exercised, and any attempt at
speed is out of question.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Washington, July 3o.-Manila pa
pers received at the war department
give an account of the beginning Of
the trial of % natives in the island of
Mindoro who are charged with kill
ing of four Americans. The names
and identity of the Americans could
not be obtained. From one of the %
men arrested partial story of the
massacre has been obtained. The
four Americans approached the shore
of Mindoro in a boat, and as soon as
they landed the natives attacked
them, putting all to death, and mutt
lating them. The bodies then were
put in the boat and cast adrift. The
finding of the boat by the Americans
led to the discovery of the crime, and
confessions from some of the natives
gave such facts as have been OBJ
tanned.

SHAVED THAcKERAY's BUST.
American Collector Didn't Like the
Whiskers and Had Them
Taken or.

The bust Of Thackeray in Mestmip-
ster abbey had several years ago upon
its cheeks those pendant whiskers
that are called "weepersp from their
resemblance to the foliage of the will.
low To-day the whiskers are no
longer there, says London paper.
Their destruction was due to William
II. Lambert, of Philadelphia, the great
est collector of Thackerayana in this
country, who has many portraits in
oil and many in ink, pencil and wash
sketches of Thackeray, and hence
should know how the novelist looked
at every stage of his life. Mr.. Lambert
is sure that Thackeray never wore
"weepers," and, therefore, he volun-
teered not long since to stand the ex-
pense Of the removal of the objection-
able whiskers from the otherwise ac-
curate and spirited Nfarochetti bust.
Mrs. Thackeray Richie arranged the
matter; the bust was taken for brief
space out of Westminster and the
whiskers were trimmed down to the
proper length. AIr. Lambert was per.
mitted to have replica made of the
Westminster bust, and 1t now stands
on one.of the landings of the stairway
Of his house in Germantown.

DROPPING OF A PENNY.
Other Passengers in street Car Usual-
\ ly More Interested in Its Fate
Than the Owner,

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts, even If it is only
. single cent? The next time that
you see copper coin dropped in a
street car just observe, advises the
Chicago Tribune. Every eye in, the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will be manifest
ed real general concern over it's
recovery. Two or three heads are
likely to come in contact over the
point of its disappearance, and then
the owners will draw. suddenly back
and try to appear unconcerned; but
IN another second they are again
leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant
coin will be seen.
When he has gone there is a re-
newed interest among the passengers
for the stage of finders keepers"
has arrived, and those near the spot
OF disappearance become quite dill
gent until they are aware they make
center of attraction. But interest
in that little coin is not lost while
there is q passenger left, and when
the car is empty the conductor takes
his turn and resurrects the cent.

LIBERTY FOR spALD1NG.
Judge Dunno Issues n Writ in Hehalf
of the Chicago Banker Imprison-
ed in Joliet Penftentiary.

Chicago, July 30.-Judge Dunno, on
petition of Attorney w. G. Ander-
son, representing Former Banker
Charles w. spalding, issued q writ
of habeas corpus, returnable Friday,
and Jailer Whitman, armed with the
writ, left at 11:15 a. m. for Joliet,
accompanied by Attorney Anderson,
Mrs. Spalding and other friends of
the imprisoned banker.
Pending final action in the habeas
corpus proceedings, the ex-banker
will be in the custody of the jailer.
Mrs. Spalding was in Judge Dunne's
court room when the writ was Is
sued, and showed joyful agitation,
but managed to control her emo
tions.
Judging by previous decisions
touching the action of the board Of
pardons in the matter OF paroles, it
is not unlikely that the present 40
ton in the case of Spalding will re-
suit in the ex-banker's release from
the penitentiary.
