INTERESTING RELIC UNEARTH.
ED IN ILLINOIS.

Alton, ILL.,. Jan. I6-An important
archaeological find has been made on
the farm OF Henry Hendricks near
East Alton. which may lead to some
important discoveries there that will
be of interest TO searchers after facts
about the mound builders. Mr.. Hen.
bricks was grading on his farm, the
old ID Is. Gilman place, and was taking
down a mound that stood south Of his
house. The farm is dotted with
mounds of the same Kind and Mr. Hen
bricks has Determined to level off his
farm, which he bought recently.
About six feet below the top of the
mound he uncovered a part Of the
mound that was stained q greenish
tinge, and the curiosity of the graders

WANTED IN
CALIFORNIA
Two of the Suspected Muir
derers of WelCh Alleged
to be Robbers

Detectives P. Kindelon and j. Ma
honey, of San Francisco, arrived here
on No last night, having come up
to look for two of the men arrested
by Sheriff Lamb at Lovelock, Sevner
and Williams. They were greatly sur
prised and much gratified to find these
two already in the clutches of the law,
and are waiting now to see what dis
position will be made of the men in
the present case.
The crime for which Sevner and
Williams are wanted occurred in Win
nemucca about ten days ago. They are
thought to be the men who entered
sleeper of No. l, while the train
was standing here, taking out large
dI Iessing case, belonging to a passen-
ger going to San Francisco. The proof
against them is pretty direct, and
nearly all of it has been secured
the efforts of Sheriff Lamb.
He has kept the men located, and
some of the articles taken
from the dressing case.

BILL FOR A
NEW TREATY
Important Step in Panama
Canal Matter Has Been
Announced

WASHINGTON, August 20.--The
news circulated in diplomatic circles
that the alleged promoters of the Pan
anna canal had prepared a bill for a
new canal treaty to be made legal
by a modification of the Colombian
constitution is regarded as important.
The news shows that the real Pan
anna canal people are not prepared to
take the chances of the United States
congress acting summarily, and adopt
ing the Nicaragua route if the mat
ter should be protracted until the next
session of congress.
The Colombian friends of Panama
have evidently been impressed with
the proposition made by Senator Nor
gan that If there should be an un-
explained delay the United States con-
81 ess should at once divert some of
the funds appropriated for the Pan
anna canal to immediate use on the
Nicaragua route following the plan
adopted with reference to the Panama
canal.
The political forces In Colombia
which are opposed outright to a treaty
and their American allies of the
transcontinental railroads have thrown
this sop of change in the Colombian
constitution to stiffen the intentions of
those in the United States who are in
favor of granting Colombia more de-
lay. Notwithstanding the promises of
a change in constitution, new treaty,
etc., it is now certain that the whole
matter must again be discussed in the
halls of congress. If the new treaty
to be offered now by Colombia differs
in any essential from the one recently
agreed upon, it must again be sub
mitted to the United States senate
and cannot be passed. If there is no
material progress when congress
meets the friends of the Nicaragua
route will push it on its merits. The
purpose of the news from Colombia
seems to be to prevent early action
at Oyster Bay in the interests Of the
Nicaragua canal.

BEFORE THE COMMISSION
"Jimmy" Robins May be Sent
to the Asylum in Reno

James Robins, familiarly known as
Jimmie" is being examined by the
commissioners of insanity of Hum
boldt county this afternoon with a
view to discovering the exact condi-
ton of his mind. In all probability
he will be adjudged insane and sent
to the state institution in Reno.
"Jimmie's" case is truly a pitiful
one. He has always been considered
harmless, but of late his actions have
indicated a more serious mental con-
dition than ever before. The incar-
ceration in the county Jail few days
ago seemed to be the final test, and
after being confined for day or two,
his memory and reasoning power
seemed to be almost entirely gone.
While he will be far better off In
a place where he will be we'll cared
for, there are many true sympathizers
and friends in Winnemueca who can
not bid the poor little old man good
bye without a feeling of sorrow and
regret, and who will hope that his last
days may be peaceful and happy ones
for him.

Ghe Jail is Being Guarded

AS a necessary precaution an extra
guard has been put on at the Jail, Mr..
AL Leach, who will take turns of
guarding the crowd of hard citizens
now in the Jail, relieving Sheriff
Lamb and Deputy Muller. Last night
as the men were being locked up for
the night one of them asked Sheriff
Lamb If he could get the Daily Silver
State. The request was denied, how
ever, as it had been decided to keep
all outside news away from the pris-
oners for a few days. 1t is believed
that some of the quartette jailed yes
terday, all of them perhaps, are men,
bers of the same gang that included
the fellows recently sent up from
Loyelock, but when the last batch
was taken in last night. there was
rot the slightest look or act on the
part of any of the men to indicate that
they had ever met before.
George Kenyon was summoned this
morning to make photograph of the
dead man. He did this after the re-
mains were removed to the undertake
ing rooms on Bridge street.
A telegram was received by Justice
Robins this morning from Thomas
Jewell, at Palisade, stating that Welch
was a stranger to him. and that he
did not want the body sent there;
Ii is believed that Mr.. Jewell aimed
to convey the meaning that Welch
was not a relative, as he has been
positively identified as the man who
has made bis home with the Jewell

family in the past, to which he tes-
titled before his death. The remains
will therefore be inferred here this
evening.
As. the four suspects were being
taken into the hospital yard yesterday
they attempted a little ruse, which
they evidently hoped would aid ther.
to escape being recognized. They has
tily effected an exchange of hats. but
were not quick enough to fool Sheriff
Lamb. He snatched off their Lids. y
serted them out and made the rieb,
man wear each hat.

ONE Otis, r. w. Lewis, Frank Nielsen.

No Difficulty in Capture

Sheriff Lamb states that when he
arrived in Lovelock Wednesday night
OH his return from Carson, and was
informed of the hold-ups, he immed-
lately made a search of the town, and
ran into the four men, German, Rob-
erts, Sevner and Williams, sitting in
front of the Owl saloon.

all four accompanied him to Jail, with
out any offer of resistance. They were
searched, but no guns or other weap-
ons found upon them.
Sheriff Lamb instantly recognized
two of the men, Sevner and Williams,
as a pair wanted for completely in
robbery of a passenger coach, which
occurred while a west bound train was
standing at the depot in Winnemucca.
He also recognized German as a man
wanted by the authorities in Reno, a
description having been sent out from
Reno recently.

county of general public interest.
1T seems to me-" he said today,
that the prison break is something
that should be legally inquired into
for the reason that several lives were
lost as a consequence, and that some
one is at fault for it occurring at all.

The Prisoners Identified

At 4:05 last evening No. 6 arrived
bringing Sheriff Lamb, Mr.. Townsend,
the roundhouse employe who was the
first TO be held up Wednesday night
and the ouartette of suspected men.
They were loaded into F. N. Null
ler's dray wagon and driven in a gal
lop to the county hospital, to be iden-
titled by Welch, the wounded man.
Here it was decided to take them
into the sick mans room in pairs.
District Attorney Warren, Sheriff
Lamb and James Hurst conducted
them in, the witnesses being Dave
Staunton and F. w. Roach.
When the first two we're taken to
his bedside. Welch looked at them
intently for a moment, then point
ing his finger at one of them. said
distinctly, but with great effort;
"You shot me; yes. you shot me"
The fellow addressed. a mere boy
in appearance paled and trembled like
a leaf. He was apparently much
agitated, Then the other of the first
pair was presented and Welch was
asked IL he knew him.
Eyes. l do he said positively. Il
saw him on top of the car"
To test his mental condition Welch
was asked If he knew one of the other
men who was at the bedside.
"Yes." he replied; "he has been
here today"
Then the other pair were brought
