taken to the county hospital, and was
operted upon by DR.. Giroux, but died
about 7:30 O'Clock on the evening of
August 20, about eighteen hours after
he was shot.
Four men arrested at Lovelock with
in two hours after the commission of
the crime by Sheriff Lamb and Con-
stable Wolf were suspected of having
committed the murder. They were
brought up on No. 6 on the afternoon
of the goth, and taken at once to the
hospital, arriving about three hours
before Welch died. They were taken
into the room, and from a crowd of
sixteen or eighteen people, nearly all
of whom were strangers to Weleh, he
picked them out and positively iden-
titled them as his assailants. The
grand jury returned an indictment
against the four men. Fred Reidt,
alias Fred Roberts, Al Linderman,
alias Frank Williams, John p. Sevner,
and one who gave the alias of t. F.
German, a few days later, and they
were placed on trial three weeks ago
today. The court appointed NJ. S.
Bonnifield to defend them, and the
relatives of the man known as Cor
man employed F. X. Murphy as as
sistant counsel for the defense, es-
pecially for German. Considering the
fact that the preponderance of evil
dence was all in the states favor, and
that the defense had practically no
witnesses, 1t must be admitted that
these attorneys made a splendid fight
for their clients. Nothing was left
undone that might aid in clearing the
accused men of the awful charge
against them, or tend to show a rea-
sonble doubt of their innocence.
After exhausting nearly the entire

the states side of the case, the facts
are these: Welch, who had been
employed during the haying season
by Foreman Merchant, of the Rein
hart & stauffer ranch, left Winnie
mucea on the night of August 10, in
company with AL Waldman, who had
been working here with him. to go
to Reno. Having little money, he
was working his way by cracking coal
on the engine of the freight. Wald-
man had entered a box car of the
same train, and when the train passed
point near where the crime was
committed, Welch started back on top
of the cars to look for his partner,
Waldman. He had gone but a short
distance when he was accosted by one
of a group Of men, who asked him for
match. He replied that he had
none, and was then commanded to
throw up his hands. He complied and
his assailants went through his pock-
cts and robbed him. Then. while he
was standing with his hands held
above his head, he was shot through
the left arm. A general mix-up fol-
lowed, in which it is alleged he was
beaten, shot through the left leg and
thrown or pushed from the top of the
car. During all of this time he was
begging piteously for his life, prom
ising to give the thugs who were rob
bing and beating his all the money
he had, without resistance. He
caught hold of the edge of the top of
the car, when one of the assassins
stamped upon his hands, causing him
to let go. After he struck the ground,
near the end of the ties, another shot
was fred at him, which struck him
in the back, passed downward
through the left lung, the diaphragm
and the stomach and lodged in the
small intestines. This was the shot
that caused his death. Welch laid
where he fell for several hours-until
nearly dayiight-when he was seen
by the crew of a passing east bound
freight, who picked him up and
brought him to Winnemucea. He was

NAY COME TO WINNEMUCCA
Repeating Offices of the W.
U. telegraph Co.

There is possibility that the West
ern Union Telegraph Company will
remove it's repeating Office from Reno
to either Winnemucca or Humboldt
in the near future, to equalize the dis
tance between Ogden and San Fran
cisco.
A set Of Wheatstone repeaters will
be installed at Winnemucca as an ex-
pertinent and should it prove more
satisfactory than the Reno station the
change will be made Should this
change take place the present working
force of six men in the Western Union
Office at Reno will be reduced to two
or three and most OF the furnishings
now necessary as a repeating station
will be removed. Reno will always
be a repeating station for the Keeler
and Susanville lines, but as the Of
fees along these lines close at night
they do not require much attention.
1t is said the chief advantage of the
Reno office is due to the fact that dur
ing dense fogs on the coast the es-
capement over the mountains is con-
siderable. At such times the SER
vice is very poor between Reno and
coast points, while east there is no
trouble. Changing the repeating sta
ton to Winnemucca will allow this
difficulty to reach further east, and
may impair the service TO such an ex-
tent that the Reno station will be
the most practicable.
Although an experimental plant
will be put in at Winnemucca it has
not been decided upon as the repeat
ing station. In case the division is
taken to Humboldt, and the proposed
change is carried out Humboldt is
likeliest to be the station.-Reno Ga
zette.

NEW BEDFoRD's wHALERs,
Hardy Men of the Sea Who Ride
Hand-in-Hand with Death
Every Day of Their Lives,

We have raised race of men who
have gone down to the sea in ships on
the most hazardous of enterprises. No
men have hourly for lifetime taken
such disastrous chances as our whale
men, and their voyages have been fire.

dents, hairbreadth escapes and dis
tressful strokes, says the New Bedford
Mercury. And we go to these men, like
Desdemona, with greedy ear to de.
YOUR up their discourse" The records
of the thrilling voyages Of our whale
men are kept in log books and in the
hundreds of volumes stored in old sail
lofts. How many of us have pored
over them to have our nerves played
upon after the manner of the fiction
lists, but it is not there. And we seek
out the man whose ship is struck and
sunk by whale in midocean, and who
takes to the boats and reaches land
after weeks of buffetipg, and the men
whose ships are crushed in the ice,
and their story is as prosaic as the
story of the man who goes to the days
work in an electric car. We are thrilled
by the boat journey of DR.. Kane, of a
tramp in the arctic ice by Nansen.
Lately a man arrived here who had
made boat journey in Hudson bay as
remarkable as the journey of DR.. Kane,
and he had nothing to say excepting
that it was four weeks and five days
from the time he left his ship in q
whaleboat with two comrades until he
reached fur station. In answer to
persistent questioning a reporter
dragged from him that it was "hard
work." and shipmate spoke up for
the adventurer and explained to the
reporter that there was not minute
OF those five weeks, night or day, when
the little boat was not menaced by the
floating ice which piled up about them,
on occasions as high as the church
steeples. And against Nansen's per-
Torrance we can produce whaleman
who put half dozen pieces of hard
bread in his pocket and, in midwinte err,
left his ship in the Arctic, in latitude rs
or Whereabouts, and walked 1, 500 miles
back to civilization. And to save him
he couldn't understand why the report
ers wanted to talk with him.
Hence it is our habit to say, often in
the spirit of criticism or atleast regret.
that our whaleman is not "imagina.

over him, aAe carefully locking tho
door and returning the key to his
trowsers pocket he began to curse
me violently, declaring that at last
he had me in his power and that I
should never leave the room alive.
For a moment I was too dazed to
understand what he meant and then
noticing the wildness of his eyes the
awful realization Of my position
rushed upon me, and knew that I
was alone and unarrned with mad
man Ia much more powerfully built
man than myself) in room where I
was cut off from all chance of help.
1 expected that the mailman would
spring upon me at once and braced
to meet it as best I could. But no;
M. de Laval, if he was mad, was still
a gentleman and the murder of a
defenceless man was not what he CON-
templated. Noticing my attitude he
smiled scornfully and switching on
the electric light stepped to the
wall and tore from the fastening
couple of duelling rapiers, one Of
which he threw contemptuously to
me, telling me to defend myself with
it to the best of my ability.
The instant my hand grasped tho
familiar hilt I felt that l was master
Of the situation. Scarcely had I
reached this hurried conclusion when
our swords crossed and the attack
began.
1 knew from the very instant that
our blades touched that he was no mean
swordsman and that I would need all
my skill to bring the affair to sue
cessful termination. My adversary was
now as cool as and except for the wild
glitter in his eyes, showed no traces of
insanity. He fenced with devilish cum
ming. 1 knew from his very first pass
that he meant to kill me. Feinting,
doubling and disengaging, his point
menacing me in all the different lines,
he forced the attack from the start,
and in spite of all that could do COM

surely he drove me back and although

SNAKES AND sNAKE-Po1soN.
Secretion of>the Venom, How 1t II
Elected and Its Peculiar
Effects.

DR.. George e. Lamb, in the Glas-
gov Medical journal, outlines verbal
ly the mechanism with which poison
GUS serpents do their work. Originally
their fangs look like other teeth, but
by degrees vertical furrow on the
front becomes inclose6 like tube by
the adjacent ridges. While the mouth
is SHUT and when no attempt is made
to bite, the fangs fold inward and lie
along the roof of the mouth. The
poison glands are located like saliv-
airy glands in the throat. They are
SO inclosed in muscle that when the
serpent brings his jaws together
forcibly they press on the gland and
squeeze out the juice. simultaneously
the fangs are brought to an erect po-
sition by rather complicated ac-
ton.
The amount of poison produced by
a cobra, the most dreaded of all Indian
snakes, is equivalent to between a
three-thousandth and a five-thousandth
of their own weight. The maximum
quantity, about 200 milligrammes, is
enough to kill 5000 rats. The horse
is particularly susceptible to the poi
son, but the author has been unable
to corroborate the statement of CAL
mette that the fatal dose, weight for
weight, increases as the animals in
crease in size. Fresh liquid poison is
straw colored. Cobra venom is clear.
That of the daboia, another Indian
serpent, has usually a small quantity
of undissolved suspended matter. The
percentage of water is about ~. All
snake venoms are almost pure solu-
tions of proteids. and contain little
else except trace of organic salts, a
small quantity of organic acid and
coloring matter.
The method by which snake venom
acts upon the system of either man
or beast is also discussed by DR..
Lamb. Corba poison acts directly on
the central nervous system-there is
no preliminary stage of excitement
and one sees the stricken animal COM
pletely paralyzed, the breathing still
going on, the saliva trucking. Final
ly, the respiratory centers become in
volved, slight general convulsive move
ments, due to the accumulation of
carbon dioxide in the system, take
place, and death ensues. The heart
continues to beat for from 20 minutes
to half an hour after the breathing
has stopped. Daboia poison acts
mainly, if not entirely, on the circula-

wound him in the arm or leg, only to
have my attacks turned harmlessly
aside. What the outcome would have
do not know. Affairs were rapidly APP
preaching crisis when footsteps were
heardi running down the stairs and
moment later the doctors voice
reached me and a heavy weight was
thrown against the locked door.
Seeing that he was likely to be baked
of his prey the maniac threw caution to
the winds and attacked me recklessly,
screaming curses on my head while
bloody foam frothed from his lips.
Suddenly the door gave way and DR..
Churchill and two attendants sprang
int o the room. For moment the mad
mans eyes left mine and in that second
recalling an old Italian trick, sprang
forward, struck up his blade and seiz-
ing his sword with my left hand tore
it from his grasp.
The attendants dragged the maniac
away and that night the doctor told
me his sad story. He had killed his
best friend in a duel through misun-
Outstanding, and the shock when he
found that his friend was innocent had
unsettled his reason. He was at times
almost sane but the sight of a sword or
an allusion to sword play was apt to
bring on an attack of madness. Itwas
the knowledge of this that caused DR..
Churchill to glance SO sharply at him
in the morning when he had overheard
our conversation and he had intended
to speak to the keepers about it but
had forgotten to do so. After lunch
the doctor hadperformed an opera alton
on one of his patients and in changing
into hospital garb he had left the key
,, to the fencing room in his other
clothes. M. de Laval must have stolen
the key, which he could easily have
done as he was at that time enjoying
comparative liberty, being in one of his
saner moods.
Dr. Churchill had not missed the key
and it was only when he learned that
had returned and could not be found
and that one of his patients was also
missing that he became alarmed and
sought me in the underground cham
Der and found me fighting for my life
with the mad duellist.
