INDIAN KILLS HIS SWEETHEART,
Romance of Red Man Ends In Murder
Of Indian Maiden.

A special from Reno, Nevada, says
Jerry Harry, a strapping Indian Of
Lander county, tried to steal four
teen-year-old Indian girl by the name
OF Nellie Muncry. Her mother had
refused to allow her to marry him.
He took the girl on a horse and
was escaping, when her abductor dis
covered that he was being followed
and would be captured, he shot his In
dian sweetheart and escaped into the
mountains.
1t appears that the Indian visited
the camp of the old woman and de-
manded her daughter in marriage.
She refused and he asked to speak to
the girl for few minutes. He pulled
the girl onto the horse behind his sad
die and made for the mountains. A
number of Indians and the officers Of
Lander county started in pursuit and
were about to capture the daring lover
and little Nell, when they heard re-
port of pistol and the girl rolled
from the horse. The Indian then hur-
ried on into the mountains and be-
came lost from view. The officers are
now looking for him and have great
hopes of capturing him.
