the Republican State convention. 1t

We nsk the people OF Nevada to scan

tile platform recently adopted at Vir.

be pleased, for they furnish conclusive
evidence To the mind Of any thinking
man that the Republican leaders in this
state have absolutely no reasons to offer
why the st tie 0f Nevada should once

Of threats his wife claims he had

Some time ago Mrs. Waldron
complained to a neighbor that
her husband had threatened to
kill her and non support has been
generally charged against him
for some time. Neighbors assert
that he failed toprovide sufficient
food for his family and haYe
often aided them by gifts of food
and provisions. The woman said
she was anxious to leave m,and
solicited the assistance of
friends in securing sufficient
money to accomplish this end.
The matter was taken up, but
in the meantime the head of the
Waldron household came back
from visit to this city and sue

Feeling is running high. Some
of the neighbors are taking sides
with Waldron and say the others
had no right to "dip in and
there has been a general warm
time all around.
Waldron has heard of the plan
to mob him and goes armed and

picion But Made Good
His Escape.

At the village Of Ada all is ex-
element and the people up that
way believe that John Smith, the
desperate, who is wanted for
robbery in this city and who
shot and killed Sheriff Harris, at
Eau Claire, Wis. last week was
in Ada Tuesday highland slipped
through the clutches Of the law.
One thing is now certain and
that is that the reported sur
rounding of Smith-in swamp
near Merrillan..W did.not de.
velope his capture and if he was
surrounded he succeeded in
slipping through the Gordon OF
state militia and making his
escape. A sheriff posse went in
to search the swamp while the.
militia surrounded it.. Seven
trained blood hounds were used
in the search but it was yester-
day abandoned as futile and the
Wisconsin authorities admit
themselves baffied.
Tuesday evening of this week
a man answering Smiths de-
scription in every detail made
his appearance at Ada and
stopped at one of the hotels
there. His close resemblance to
the descriptions Of Smith in the
hands Of the local police aroused
suspicion and he was questioned.
He went to the hotel and has not
since been seen. His disappear
ance Strengthens the belief that
it was Smith and that he is
doubling back on his tracks to
Montana.
He is acknowledged a desper-
ate and cunning criminal. The
police authoritiesat Ada searched
all the outgoing trains and even
stopped a freight train and went
through the cars without being
able to iunearth any evidence that
might lead to the discovery Of the
missing stranger. They are
strongly Of the opinion that it
was Smith.
