CURRY REMEMBERED HERE

The fugitive referred to above is
Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry, alias
Robert Nelson, alias Harry Wilson,
etc, ETC., and is beyond doubt one of
the gang that robbed The First
National Bank of Winnemucca on the
10th of September. 1900. three years
ago last Saturday. He is the man who
stood at the east gate of the counter
and held winchester rife in cover
over the president, cashier and book
keepers, while another of the gang
got busy inside the vault.
Geo. S. Nixon kindly furnished the
Silver State reporter with the follow
ing regarding Curry, subsequent to the
robbery here. Mr.. Nixon was at
Knoxville, Tenn, and identified Curry
positively after the capture Of the fell
low, and during his trial on various
charges. His capture came about In
this way:
Curry is known to have been i'm
plicated in the robbery of the Great
Northern express car that occurred at
Malto, Mont. July 8, 1901, in which
several thousand dollars of new $50
bills were secured by the robbers.
Curry got as far as Knoxville, Tenn,
and was blowing in his share of the
Doodle like a good fellow. One night
he was gambling, while very drunk,
and had lost $500. paying his losses
in the $40 bills. He became involved
in a bitter quarrel with the dealer of
the game. and springing across the
table got him by the throat and began
checking him. The spectators inter-
fered, or tried to. but were powerless
to tear him away from the dealer. A
hurry-up call was sent in and two po-
lioemen responded; they dubbed Curry
over the head and shoulders until
both of them broke their clubs. but
their utmost efforts could not make
the bloodthirsty fiend release his hold
until he was positive he had checked
his antagonist to death, Then sud-
denly turning ON the officers he jerked
out his revolver and fired. shooting
the two men down at the first shot.
He then turned and jumped through
a window. falling some distance, and,
as was afterwards learned. shattering
the bones of one leg. He escaped,
and hid for a time in a swamp, but
was captured with the aid of blood

Preliminary Hearing Still On

The preliminary hearing in the case
wherein the state of Nevada is plain
tiff and Germaine Savornin defendant,
is still being heard. But one witness
was examined this forenoon. and the
testimony of several remains yet to
be taken. The length of time re-
quired for the examination is greatly
increased by reason of the fact that
few of the witnesses can speak or
understand English. which necessi-
tates the services of an interpreter.
Jos. Rougon is acting in this capac-
ity.
The hearing will not be completed
today. and Justice Robins stated this
afternoon that if it was apparent that
the taking of testimony could not be
finished this evening. adjournment
would be taken to tomorrow morning.

ARMED POSSE
AFTER CURRY
One of the Gang Who Robbed
The First National Bank
Here Three Years Ago

CHINOOK, Mont, Sept 21.-Posses
are securing every section of the
country in the vicinity of Bear Paw
mountains after Kid Curry, the leader
OF the gang which held up two Great
Northern express trains on July 3,
1901, and who escaped from Knoxville
jail while awaiting transportation TO
the Ohio penitentiary to serve out a
twenty-year sentence for forging sig
natures to the stolen bank bills oh
tanned in the robbery.
The posses are composed of men
we'll acquainted with the country In
which Curry is travelling and who are
equally as quick on the trigger as he
or any of his gang. 1t is many miles
from where the search is being pros
ecuted to the nearest telegraph point,
and it may be days after an encounter
before anything is known of what
happened.
Curry has lots of friends in the
country through which ne is passing,
and they will aid him to reach the
rendezvous of his gang, where he will
be safe in the Businesses of the 2eal
Paw mountains from pursuit or cap
ture. When last heard from on Sat
urday he was only ten miles from his
destination and well mounted. AS the
posses only got started this afternoon,
the chances are all in Curry's favor.
Jim Landusky, son of Pike lan-
dusky, who was killed by Kid Curry
before the Great Northern holdup Of
two years ago, was in Chinook today,
buying ammunition of all cali5res.
Pike Landusky was killed by Curry
because the latter feared he would be-
tray the Curry gang. In spite of this,
young Landusky is known as a warm
friend and adherent of Curry.
His promiscuous purchase of cart
ridges and the fact that the posses
are in search of Curry, lead to the
opinion that the outlaw has reached
the members of his gang in the Bear
Paw mountains, and that all are pre-
pairing to give their pursuers warm
reception. Pike Landusky was the
man after whom was named the town
of Landusky, where Curry was last
heard of a few days ago.

which convened yesterday morning
and adjourned at 11:30 this forenoon:
The assessment of the Loveloek
Creamery company was reduced from
$1,000 to $500.
The board authorized the remittance

inmate of the county hospital, for ,he
year 1908, on account of his invalid
condition.
The application of ID. Pascal for a
reduction in his assessment was de-

The usual order was passed in

tion to all holders of mortgages to
have the same placed on the assess

An order was made increasing the
Winnemucca town special tax from
40 cents to 80 cents on each 800 val
uation of taxable property within the
limits of the town of Winnemucca.
MS ihSl case was ulduS " pTONlue

was not made an order of business,
however, and no official action was
taken in regard to it.
The assessed valuation of taxable
property in the town of Winnemucea.
as shown by the assessment roll for
this year, was determined by the
board to be 1891, $40, all of which is
subject to the special tax raised from
40 to 55 cents per 800.
The board took a recess until Mon

MAY GIVE UP
CHAIRMANSHIP
RumOr That Hanna Will Re.
sign as Head of Rebuilt
can Committee

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Mark A.
Hanna will decline reelection as
chairman of the Republican National
committee. This announcement is
made on the authority of intimate
friends of the Ohio senator. They as
sert that he will make his position
very clear at the meeting of the Ma
tional committee to be held in Wash
ington in December. at which the
date and the place for the Presidential
convention are to be fixed.
Senator Hanna's proposed retire.
ment may be explained by him at the
proper time on the ground of Ill
health from which he has been suf-
fering for two years or more, and
which has recently caused him to can
eel important engagements in the
pending Ohio campaign.
Those in his confidence. however,
say that the real reason is that Sena-
tor Hanna feels he cannot conduct the
campaign of 1904 with the energy that
he did that OF 1896 and 1900 for his
bosom friend, the late William MeKin-
ley.
Hannas desire to retire has been
known to President Roosevelt for
months. The President, 1t is under
stood, first suggested Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge and then w. Murray
Crane, former governor of Massachu-
setts for the place.
