Must Pay Death Pena lty.

After a trial lasting II days the jury
last Saturday night returned a verdict
adjuiging Sevener, Roberts and Cor.
man guilty of the brutal murder of Jack
Welsh in Humboldt County more thar
a year ago. At the first trial in Winnie
mucoa these three men and Linderman
or Williams, were found guilty AND
sentenced to be hung. They were
granted new trial by the Supreme
Court. On a change of venue the case
was transferred to Washoe County, and
the second trial was held in Reno. One
ballot was all the jury took to fix the
guilt and one more established the
degree. 1t was murder in the first de-
gree, and on Saturday, Nov. 10. Judge
Curler will sentence the men. His only
power is to sentence them to death
Williams or Linderman will be tried
for the same crime without delay. He
has already made two confessions ac-
knowledging his connection with the
murder, and then denied having made
them. The two trials Of the murderer
will cost Humboldt County abou
S2O 600.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Charges of Collusion in Carrying
Contracts Being Looked Into.

OUutt otto AtSfhR 1cOhNN AheOs
A dispatch from Washington, ID. O..
dated Nov. II says: A new investiga-
ton Of the Postoffice Department is
now under way, directed against the
Railway Mail Service. which calls for
the largest single item of expenditure
in the service. A half-dozen railway
mail contracts are now before the De-
partment of Justice for examination as
to their legality, and that department
is investigating charges of collusion by
Government officials, some of whom
are supposed to be in Congress.
President Roosevelt ordered this in
yestigation before the death Of Post
master General Payne, but the fact
that the inquiry had been going on for
nearly two months did not become
known until to-day. The report Of the
Department of Justice will be made to
the President, who will take up the
matter with Postmaster General
Wynne for whatever action the devel-
opments may show to be necessary.
Wynne has ordered a further investi-

WALTER VISION ON GOLDFIELD.
Montana Engineer Glasses 1t as q
Second Cripple Creek.


Nv. w. Wishon, q Montana mining
engineer, who has come to Goldfield
seeking to improve his fortune, declares
the new Eldorado to be second Cripple
Greek, says the Goldfield Review. Mr..
Wishon was superintendent of the
Spectator group of copper mines at
Butte. Mont, for five years, during
which he mined $5,000.000 worth Of
profits for the owners, and has visited
all the great mining camps of the
world, an experience that qualities him
to pass Judgment on Goldfield.
1.-THE character of the mines here
leads me to believe that Goldfield is
going to be a second Cripple Creek"
said Mr.. Wishon to the Review. "All
the signs point to it. From my brief
observation Of the mines in this district
cannot but think that the half has
not been told. AS to the extent and
of the mines of course it is
hard to say. but Judging from the
quality of the rock being taken from
the Florence, January and mines of
their character, should say that they
are Of lasting wealth."

c. & c. Being Equipped to Handle
Its Increased Business.
The Carson News says that in the
Virginia g. Truckee yards in Carson
City there are enough Carson &
Colorado fat and box cars to be re.
paired and placed in commission to
make one believe that the broad gauge
theory is rather stretched. An extra
force of men are hustling over time in
order to get the cars in shape aud every
day more of them come in. The
foundry has turned out 500 patent
couplings or drawheads to be fitted to the
incoming cars. 1t looks rath er strange
to see a road fixing up this amount of
rolling stock and then talk broad gauge.
The few men who are employed at
Mound House are doing switch build.
ing and remodeling the yard. It is also
said that the @. g. @. will receive four
new engines in few days which will
be equipped at the Carson shops. It is
quite evident that there is no rush
about the broad gauge as the new stock
and engines will make great showing
on the present road bed and will be
able to handle everything that is in
sight,

MANGLED BY THE CARS.
Two Men Killed and One Seriously
Injured Near ElkO.

Two men were killed and one badly
injured on the Southern Pacific tracks
in Elko County in one day recently.
The first victim was John Martin of
Elko. who was in some manner struck
by passing train few miles west of
Elko and killed. A track walker found
the fearfully mangled body the next
morning. The manner in which the
accident occurred will probably never
be known. The deceased was native
of Eiko County, and for many years re-
sided in the vicinity of Gold Creek.
The same night Mexican named
Lopez fell from No. in the Wells
yards. He was probably stealing a
ride. The car wheels nearly severed
both legs below the knees. While be.
ing taken to Elko he died from the loss
of blood.
An Italian named Martin Machita, 38
years old, who was demented, jumped
from train short distance east of
Wells the same night and was seriously
injured. He was taken to the Elko
Hospital. and may recover.

KILLING IN ELKO COUNTY.
Cattle Thieves Caught Skinning a

Steer and Battle Ensues.
In desperate fight at Mardis in Elko
County Friday afternoon of last week
between two cattle thieves and mum.
Der of cattle owners, Jim McKelvey,
one of the thieves, was killed and his
companion, Charles Winslow, was
seriously injured.
The two men, McKelvey, better
known as Mahogany Jim. and Winslow,
a Swede. were skinning steer on the
Graham ranch when they were dis.
covered by the owners. An attempt
was made to put them under arrest and
the fight started. The thieves took
shelter behind the carcass of the animal
and fought until McKelvey was killed
and Winslow seriously wounded.

Coroner of the county left for the scene

LETTER FROM GOLDFIELD.
Southern Nevada Will Be Greatest
Mining Country in United States.

The Sparks Headlight publishes the
following letter received by resident
of Sparks from q friend who recently
went to Goldfield:
"Some of the ore bodies here are large
aud Of medium grade, from $40 to $50
per ton, and in two, or about two Of the
mines the ore bodies are large and rich,
but most of the high grade ore is found
in punches, and some of the punches
are big enough to give man q comfor-
able stake. There has been pay ore
found in about dozen properties, and
from the number of men that are leas-
ing there probably will be twice that
many properties shipping ore in the
next six or eight months. There is
plenty Of opportunity for leasing, al
though I have not found anything good
enough for me to go to work on. but
have not rustled very hard because /
am undecided as to where I will locate.
Most of the new arrivals in the last
week only stay two or three days in
camp and then pull out for the southern
country. 1t is reported here that there
has been good ore discovered 80 and 80
miles south of here. There is no ques-

Don't Like Trusts.

"We must bring home to them at
other than election times the fact that
money contributed to the Republican
party by trusts is not only dishonest
money, but it is given that the trusts may
without hinderance take a much larger
sum from the people.
"Iu the presence of defeat that
would take away all personal ambition
were it true. that otherwise it possessed
me-I do not hesitate to say that in my
opinion the greatest moral question
which now confronts us is: Shall the
Trusts and corporations be prevented

to aid in controlling elections. Such
service as can render in that or any
other direction will be gladly rendered.
