OF the authorities to pass the pre-

CONVlCTS
SUPPOSE TO
HAVE PASSED
Suspicious Characters Seen
at Sloan Ranch thought
to be Escapes
PROBABLY MILLER AND FAHEY
One Man Ate Supper at the
Ranch While the Other Re-
mained In the Willows

1t is possible that during the excite
ment of the ball game yesterday the
citizens of Winnemucca allowed an op-
portunity to pass of capturing two Of
the Folsom convicts, and incidentally
OF winning much renown and few
hundred dollars in rewards.
Late last evening Jim Boyd came
to town and reported that two suspic-
ious characters had been seen at the
Sloan ranch during the afternoon. The
| first person to notice anything wrong
was the Chinese cook employed at the
ranch, who about 3 o'clock saw man
acting strangely down by the river
Eot far from the ranch house. The fell
low was apparently keeping out OF
sight as much as possible in the will
lows. He was seen several times dur
Ing the afternoon and when the bell
was rung calling the hay hands to
supper he boldly walked to the house
and. without saying d word to anyone,
seated himself at the table with the
other men and partook of hearty
neal When he had finished he asked
the cook for an old hat, having come
to the house bareheaded, and was
given one.
Mr.. Boyd was taken to the sheriff's
office, and at once picked out the pic
ture of Fahey as being that of the
man who had invited himself to sup.
per at the ranch.
Upon hearing the report, Deputy
Sheriff Muller at once boarded No.
and went to Golconda, where he got
team and started out with the in
tention, il possible, of heading on the
lfugitives. About three or four miles
below Golconda Mr. Muller ran across
a man whose outward appearance
tailed in every respect with the print
ed description of Convict Miller. Mr.
Muller took the suspected man into
the buggy with him and returned I,
Golconda, where he examined him
thoroughly. The man proved to Mr.
Muller's satisfaction that he was not
thee scaped convict and that he hat
just left the Sloan ranch, where h.
had been working. He however vol
Iunteered the information that b,
thought he had seen the man Mr.. Mul
Ter wanted and gave a good descrip
tion of Miller as the man he had seen
fsaying that after the stranger suppos
ed to be Fahey had eaten at the Sloar
ranch the two men had been seer
leaving the vicinity together.
The authorities are sure that thu
mer seen are Fahey and Miller an'
that they probably got off trair
west of Winnemucca and followed thu
river around the town and to the
Sloan ranch.
Two men were seen by some boy
below town yesterday morning ant
the boys say that each had gun owe
his shoulder. 1t is possible that thes
were the convicts and that they skirt
ed the town without arousing suspicion

THE "VICTORS
DIDN'T RECEIVE
THE SPO!LS"
And Hence There is q Row in
the Nevada Democratic
Camp
WANT PATTERSON REMOVED
Washoe County Faithful Go Al.
ter the Democratic State
Central Committee

1t is no longer attempted by the
Democrats to conceal the fact tina:
there is friction in the party that
promises much trouble. 1t is given out
that Senator Newland's visit TO Reno
at the present time is not for the pur-
pose of looking after next years
fences so much as it is for the purpose
o. smoothing out the rough places
and trying to unite the opposing fac
ticns on a common ground.
In proof OF this condition we here
with print two letters or rather one
open letter to the state democrats COM
mittee from Washoe faithful and the
set of resolutions adopted by the
Washoe county central committee on
/ August oath. They follow:
To the officers and members Of the
democratic state central committee
and to whom it may concern:
emen:-Inasmuch as you are
the governing body of the democratic
party in the state of Nevada, and re-
alizing that you are interested in the
success and welfare of the party, as we
are.
Therefore, we most respectfully SUBJ
nit the following facts for your con-
sideration:
First-We charge the state board of
commissioners for the care of the in
sene with gross violation of demo-
cratic principles and ngratitude to the
democratic party in appointing DR..
W. H. Patterson, a pronounced re-
publican to the superintendency of the
hospital for mental diseases.
We further charge them with ap-
pointing to ore of the most lucrative
position one Smith, who has resided
i'll the state eighteen years and is
not yet an American citizen.
Second-They have appointed one
Townsend to a position and said
Townsend is not citizen of the state
of Nevada and in fact majority of
the other employees are either nom
residents or republicans.
In view of these facts we deem it
our duty as democrats to lay this mat
J ter before you.
We maintain that the foregoing is
of vital Importance and will a. "
!. interests of the democratic party par
ticularly in Washoe county in future
elections.
In September, 1902. our present u.
, S. Senator, the Hon. Francis G. New
! lands, in addressing democratic
meeting in the court house in Reno,
Nevada, assured those present that to
, the workers of the democratic party
the patronage would be given. ITO the
{ victor belongs the spoils." he said.
AS the honorable senator seemed
: to speak sincerely and voiced the SEN
. timents of all true democrats, the ac-
tions of the above mentioned board is
most contemplate.
AS your honorable body are aware
| we are on the eve of a presidential
election. and discord and dissention
| may prevent party success.
While there is yet time we beseech
you, in the interests of democracy, TO
us your influence to have the above
error remedied that when we go 70
the polls in 1904. the result will De
as it has been for years past, a winner
by large majority.
