The Convicts and Their Followers

Here is the latest assortment of rum
lrs concerning the fugitives:
G. p. Ferret, the Reno police officer
vas in Genoa Wednesday night wit
he Nevada bloodhounds, on his wa
home. He said he had followed tn
'scapes $50 miles through the toughest
ountry he ever saw. He says Sherii
Norman and party was at one tim,
shead of the convicts, coming this way
md he with his hounds were followins
behind them; but when the convict,
Iproached within six miles of thei
amp all hands took suddenly i'll an
pulled out for Silver Lake.
The convicts called at Raughmer'.
place in upper Lake Valley, where
they locked the people in room and
helped themselves to provisions an
clothing.
Mr.. Ferret, being left alone, conclud-
ed to come into Nevada and see If he
,ould organize another posse.
The Reno Journal of yesterday says
'errel hit the wire at Woodfords like
a cannon ball and yelled for help. He
wanted the Washoe Sheriff to send on
his twenty volunteers, all good men,
and true.
The sheriff Immediately started out
to round mp his eager posse, but they
xyara not ssou the hit - Tho r,aapoharu
approached inquired what they would
be paid. This caused the wires to be
worked between Reno and Woodfords.
Ferret replied that the volunteers
would receive the reward offered If the
convicts were killed or captured.
On receipt of this notification Sheriff
Hayes discovered that he had no more
posse than jack rabbit.

Death of John Cress.

The Reno papers report the death OF
John Cress in that place last Sunday
morning. He was arrested near the
5. P. depot for being noisy, and the of
ficer was obliged to use force in max
ing the arrest. He died a few hours
after being placed in Jail. H. H. Beck
identified the deceased as a carpenter
who came from San Francisco last Fri
day to work on his new -four mill.
John Cress was a resident of this
county for great many years. About
three months ago money was raised
here by subscription to send him to
San Francisco for medical treatment.
At the Coroner's inquest over the re-
mains of Cress officer Meff1ey, who ar
rested Cress, testified that he found
the man acting in strange manner.
He struck Meff1ey, and upon recover
ing from the blow, Meffley hit Cress
on the head with his fist. Cress rush.
ed at Meffiey and Meffley hit him again
with his fist, knocking him down.
Meffiey testified that he had no club or
weapons of any kind.
Frank Roach corroborated Meffiey's
testimony. He said the deceased look
ed as though he had been drinking
heavily the day before and did not
have good sense.
DR.. Abbott performed the autopsy.
He found the abdominal cavity full of
sereus fluid, the live was small and
the kidneys and spleen abnormal The
heart was fatty and the walls thin.
The heart was six ounces over weight.
There were no bad bruises. The right
eye was black and there was scratch
over the left eye. In the opinion of
the doctor, deceased succumbed to
heart trouble.
DR.. Patterson testified that Cress was
committed to the asylum from Doug
las county, February 9, 1893, and dis
charged March 25th of the same year
Hard drinking was given as the cause
of insanity, or delirium tremons.

Smallpox.

Considerable excitement was caused
last Friday by the news that case of
smallpox had been discovered in this
community. A young man named
Peter Mortensen called at Todd's drug
store for some ointment to be used to
relieve some eruptions that appeared
on his body. DR.. Fournier, who was
in the drug store at the time, noticed
him, and Immediately informed him
that he had smallpox. He was living
in a cabin on Mr.. Jacobsen's place,
and Immediately went home. Dr.
Fourier notified the State Board of
Health by telephone, and in the after
noon the secretary came up and or
dered that the cabin be quarantined.
A nurse has been provided, and all
things necessary for his welfare done.
At last accounts the patient was get
ting along first rate.
Not knowing the nature of his dis
ease, Mr.. Mortensen had been about
the streets and in public places for
several days, and if the disease does
not spread it will be miracle.
1t has developed that the family of
Hiram Jones, on the other side of the
valley, is all down with the disease.
1t is said that some relatives of the
Jones family, who had smallpox in
California last year, paid them a visit
this summer, and gave the children
some clothes, and it is presumed that
some of the goods had not been prop
erly fumigated, and carried the germs
of the disease.
Fresh vaccine points were immedi-
ately telegraphed for, and arrived
Monday morning. 1t would be well
for all who have not recently been
vaccinated to attend to the matter at
once, as the doctor says that in this
country five years is as long as immu-
nifty from the disease holds without re-
vaccination.

Dividing The Water.

AT a meeting of the farmers using
water from the east fork of the Carson
river, in Gardnerville last Friday af
ternoon, the following agreement was
signed by twenty-four of the leading
farmers on the spot. Other signatures
have been obtained since, and the
agreement is now signed by practically
all the farmers on the river:
1--WE, the undersigned, hereby agree
to abide by the decision of VIM.
Lampe and VIM. Hussman, assistant,
appointed at this meeting to have
charge of the distribution of the water
from the east fork of the Carson river,
and we further agree to leave alone all
boxes and dams he may make or set,
to be changed only by himself, or by
his authority. We further agree that
all expense incurred in the distribu-
ton of water will be paid by the I'M
dersigned pro rata to the amount OF
water used by each one.
'sAnd we also further agree that,
should any legal proceedings be started
for damages on account of this d.
vision, same will be paid by us the
same as any other expense"
In addition to the above, a resolu-
ton was passed giving H. F. Dangberg
one-third of all the water in the river.

The Carson Appeal refers to the
