PATRICK CROWLEY DEAD.
Famons C0mstOck Prisoner Has
Served Out His Sentence.

Patrick Crowley. one of the most IA
nous of Nevada's prisoners, died at the
State Prison in Carson City on the
morning of April 80. from hemorrhage
of the lungs. Death came suddenly.
Though a comparatively young man,
Crowley had been victim of consump-
ton for the past three years, and that
fact had been set forth to support his ap-
plication for pardon.
The prisoner and his case were famous
throughout the West. The crime for
which he was imprisoned was COM
mitted in Virginia City. shortly after IL
o'clock on the night of July 20, 1890
He was at that time employed as a
shaft man in the Savage mine, and
previously had had trouble with the
shift boss, William Nichols, and bad
feelings existed between the two men.
Crowley had been to a picnic the day
the deed was committed and when he
went to work at IL o'clock that night
he was under the influence of liquor.
Words passed between Crowley and
Nichols on the 1900 level of the Savage
shaft; an alteration followed, and
Crowley killed Nichols with an axe
and threw his body down the shaft.
Crazed with drink and thirsting for
blood, Crowley attacked his fellow
workmen and a desperate battle was
fought by the four men before the
murderer was overpowered and assist
ance could be signaled from the surface.
The trial that followed was bitterly
fought on both sides. Crowley was
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree on November 30, 1890, and Judge
Rising sentenced him to life imprison.
ment.
The death Of Patrick Crowley brings
to an end one of the most persistent
struggles in the history of Nevada for
clemency at the hands of the State
Board of Pardons. Without money or
apparent influence. his pardon was
made political issue in some parts of
the State, and was fought with equal
and more successful determination by
the widow and friends of his victim.

William A. Paxton of Omaha, Ne

prominent ranchmen who returned last
week from visit to Washington which
had for its object an extension of the time
for removing fences ON the range, said
their mission was unsuccessful.
Mr.. Paxton said the President was in
sistent that the law against range fenc-

to in any way modify the order.
The result will be an attempt by cat

BRYAN OUT AGAINST PARKER.
Declares He Represents the Plutoc-

Declares He Represents the flut0c-
racy, Instead of the Democracy.
Chicago, April 23.-War is apparently
on in earnest in the Democratic camp.
William J. Bryan, who, despite his
double defeat for the Presidency. is un-
doubtedly regarded by a large element
of the party as its exponent and leader,
in speech delivered tonight in this
city, openly and unequivocally declared
himself against the candidacy OF Judge
Parker of New York for the Presidency.
He not only made bitter attack on
the platform of the New York Demo
cratic State Convention, but declared
that Judge Parker is not fit person to
carry the Democratic banner. Mr..
Bryan intimated that. Parker is the
choice of the Corporations and Trusts
that he represents the plutocracy of the
country, instead of the Democracy.
Mr.. Bryan charged that the platform
was the work of David B. Hill, and
that it lodges what he (Bryan) declared
to be the live issues of the campaign.
While assailing Judge Parker, he did
not say who is his choice for the Presi.
Dental nomination.
He was particular to have it under.
stood that his address was not for or
against particular aspirants for the
Democratic nomination for President.
His subject was "The New York Plat
form" This he repeated several times
during the course of his speech.
In order that his address might not
have the appearance of being delivered
under any particular political influence,
Mr.. Bryan was his own presiding of.
ficer, and introduced himself to his
hearers.
