called around and exchanged ideas

believe it does in his instance.
A party of citizens went out on the
creek yesterday afternoon in searcl
OF some of the finny tribe, and were
most successful, catching something
like TO pounds. They were served for
breakfast at the Victoria Hotel and
it is needless to say that the baptist
college committee made as good

we are informed that they took to

than did the Baptists in the party.

INDIAN FOUND
THE MISSING
SUITCASE
Was Hid in the Sage Brush
on the East Side of the
Railroad Track
A TRAMP LED TO DISCOVERY
The Case Was the One in Which
$4,000 in Diamonds and
Money Was Kept

skinny" Pascal. a well known
Winnemucca Indian, came to the
sheriff's office early yesterday morn
ing and reported having discovered Il
man sleeping in the sagebrush east
of the railroad track and that tho
man had a grip or dressing case with
him.
Thinking this might be the dressing
case which has been missing since
the night of August 18th, when the
Pullman sleeper was robbed at this
place, and for which Sheriff Lamb
mas been keeping q sharp lookout.
Deputy Muller accompanied Pascal to
where the man was sleeping. They
aroused him from his slumbers and
Deputy Muller questioned him closely
as to where he came from, his inlen-
tions, etc, and decided that he was
mercy a tramp who had come in on
one of the cary trains, and having
ais blankets with him had gone over
INTO the brush to get few hours
sleep.
he evidently knew nothing of the
dressing case ana was unaware IF It's
pl essence near him, and as he told a
,uaIgnt story he was allowed to go.
Deputy Muller then examined the
Al essIng case and found that it was
me one that has been searcned lor
eN er since the robbery. 1t is the case
tnat he'd the money and DIAMONDS;
nune vi the other contents had been
disturbed by the thieves. The case
was lying in the center of a bunch of
Sdgeorush, having tue shoemaI Ks of
the man who threw it there and
stamped or pressed it down so that
1t would be least apt to attract atten-
tlon from passers-by.
The case is now in the custody OF
Sheriff Lamb and will form another
link in the growing chain of evidence
against Roberts, Williams, German
and Sevner. who are practically al
ready convicted of robbery and the
grave charge of murder.
The grip found Saturday night be-
ionged to Conductor q. B. Wander
water. The one found yesterday morn
ing belonged to H. Merton, and it is
the one which contained the $1,000 in
diamonds and cash. The Indian who
found Conduc,or Vanderwater's grip
was given $3.50, and Skinny Pascal
was g.ven So for recovering Mr.. Mer-
-on's dressing case.

CAPTURED
A CONVICT
IN RENO
Rounded Up Miller and Muir
ply, but the Former
Got Away
MURPHY is IN BAD CONDITION
Armed Posse of Forty Men
Started in Pursuit Of Mill
Ter at Once

Reno New, Aug. 24.-Special tele-
gram to the Daily Silver State.-One
of the escaped convicts from the Fol-
som penitentiary, Joseph Murphy, was
captured in this city last night at
10 o'clock by Deputy Sheriffs Maxwell
and Sharkey. Another of the convicts,
Frank Miller, escaped from the Off
GERS, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that he will soon be cornered
and captured.
Officers Maxwell and Sharkey held
up the two desperadoes on the Vir-
ginia street bridge. Murphy, who af-
forwards proved to be in no condition
to offer resistance, Immediately sur
rendered and was rushed off to Jail.
Miller showed fight, however, and
opened fire upon the officers. They
were unprepared for a battle OF the
kind Miller evidently proposed TO
wage, and fell back with their one
prisoner to get reinforcements When
they again pressed their man closely,
Miller leaped from the bridge,
Officer Sharkey bravely started
through the underbrush in close pur-
suit, getting very near to Miller at
times. Miller doubled on his trail,
and recrossed Virginia street with a
crowd in pursuit Many shots were
fired at the fleeing fugitive, but owing
to the darkness and the excitement
of the pursuers, none of these brought
Miller down, and SO far as known he
was not hit. He returned fire when
ever the opportunity presented itself.
He finally gave his pursuers the sip
and got away.
Then the crowd halted and gave up
the chase A posse of forty men, all
crack-shots and well-armed. was
quickly formed, and these are now on
Mil.er's trail. There is little
of his capture. he is unacquainted
with the locality, and cannot go far
before being seen.
Murphy is in bad shape physically.
He is exhausted, half-famished and
ragged, and is apparently glad the
chase, so far as he is concerned. is
over. He makes no attempt to hide
anything from the officers, acknowl-
edging at once his identity.
There is intense excitement here,
but through 1t all the expressions
OF praise of the officers is frequent
and hearty. They took chances few
men would have had the nerve to
take. forgetting entirely their own
danger in the attempt to corral the
pair of outlaws. 1t is not known yet
how many of the convicts are in this
vicinity, but others are Thought to be
in washoe county, perhaps very near
Reno.
Murphy was sent up from Contra
Costa for burglary. sentenced to four
teen years. He is 25 years old, slend-
er, dark completed and blue-eyed.
Miller is short, stocky-built man OF
rs, has light brown hair and blue
eyes. He is five feet, Az inches high,
and weighs 140 pounds. Has small
ears, well out from head, good teeth,
square features; low. narrow fore
head; small, irregular scar in the
center of his forehead, or ever the
right eye; large scar to the left OF
the center of the top of his head and
a large. straight scar on the left side
of the upper lip. He was sent up from
Fresno for twelve years for burglary
