Change of Venue.

Sevener, German, Ritz and Linder-
man, the four men charged with the
murder of Jack Welsh in Humboldt
county, have retained Attorneys M. 8.
Bonnifeld and A. e. Ducker OF Winnie
mucca to defend them.
They filed motion last Saturday for
a change of venue from Humboldt
county, which will be passed on by
the court in Winnemucca today. They
are willing to have their cases tried any
where in Nevada except in Humboldt
aud Washoe counties, their claim being
that in each of these counties there is a
bitter prejudice against them.
In support of their motion for trial
elsewhere they said that the Silver State
at Winnemucca had been biased and en-
tirely unfair in its treatment OF their
cause aud that on this account they
could not receive the fair trial to which
they are entitled.

Changed His
Tune.

Linderman, one of the four condemned
murderers from Humboldt county, il
will be remembered, made confession
of the crime some months ago, which
was published in the Carson News. AT
tue time he made it he WIS under the
impression that nothing could save him
from hanging. He told the whole story,
and a straight one. Since that time,
however, the Supreme Court has grant
ed the four men new trial, upon the
ground tha. one of the jurymen was a
man of intelligence and therefore was
not qualified, and the four men have
taken heart again. Linderman has come
out of his penitent mood. and the fight
for life has put new blood in his veins
In Reno the other night he had an in
terview with Gazette man. in which he
seeks to discredit his former confession
denying it all, and saying that he was
tout of his head" when he made it. The
impression is that the four men will have
rather hard work explaining that docu-
ment away upon the ground of temper.
ary alteration. The four men state that
they are going to try change OF law
yers aud expect happy results OF the new
trial.

Crossed the DeSerr.

From Fallon comes sad but inter.
esting story OF young seventeen year
old girl who left her home seventy five
miles eastward on account of her alleged
harsh treatment accorded her by her
father.
The girl, Miss Rhoa Stevens, says that
for years she has been compelled to look
after the sheep and cattle, spending the
entire day in the saddle and out in the
burning sun. She has received no edu-
cation aud 10 spite of her efforts to do a
mans work that she has only received i'll
treatment from her father.
Several days ago she says that when
she returned home at night, wearied
from days hard riding that her par
ents ordered her to go out and round up
a bunch OF horses and not to return
without them. Fearful OF punishment
she set spurs TO her horse and rode for
two days and nights across the desert to
Fallon. where she was given money by a
cowboy who knew her. She then left
and her whereabouts are unknown .-Ex.

Route of the West
ern Pacific.

The Western Pacific from Salt Lake to
San Francisco will be built. Not only
can this be officially stated, but it will be
in operation in four years from now.
There is no need for further speculation
upon the question, as the surveys are
well on toward completion, the money is
available at the Bowling Green Trust
company OF New York and its promoters
know exactly upon what footing they
stand in relation to other transcon-
tinental lines.
And to go further it can be likewise
stated that the Western Pacific will not
try and annihilate distance between here
and the coast, as the line will only be a
trifie shorter than the Central Pacific
with the latter's reconstruction.
The advantage of the Western Pacific
lien in its crossing of the Sierras at a
poiIt where no snowsheds will be requir-
ed, and quite to the contrary, the region
is surrounded with as rich woodland,
pastoral and resourceful country as can
be found in the range Jus. to show
what a beautiful region will be traversed
by the Western Pacific the Tribune gives
three halftones, one being forest scene
on the route, another on the road be-
tween Quincy and Oroville. and another
in Big Meadows. All these photos are
taken on the route of the Butte and
Plumas and the Indian Valley surveys,
which the Western Pacific lately acqur-
ed from II. Fl. Yard.
This is the Fredonia pass route, the
best and most feasible crossing OF the
Sierras. A short tunnel at the summit
will greatly reduce the grade, but that is
all that will be required. No long snow
sheds Will have to te built and maintain

The route of the Western Pacific is
from San Francisco to Oakland, thence
to Stockton, Sacramento, Marysyille,
Oroyille, Quincy, Big Meadows and the
North Fork of the Feather river, which
takes in SOME of the grandest mountain
scener, 10 the West.
From Quincy the line would take off
to the southeast to get to Beckwith pass.
but to get to Fredonia the line would
pass through Susanvlle and thence to
the pass.
The Southern Pacific does not go north
until after leaving Reno when it makes
a big northern jump to Winnemucca.
The Western Pacific, however, gets north
while in California, and when ready to
cross the range can make straight shoot
for Winnemucca.
The route from Winnemucca will be as
direct as possible to Salt Lake via the
south shore of the Lake.-Salt Lake Tri-

White Pine Cop
per Company.

During the past week Superintendent
e. +. Gray of the White Pine Copper
Company has been making arrangements
with the owners OF mines who have
the same bonded to the company for one
year or more to take them over on or be-
fore the first OF October for cash con-
sideration, providing the bondees, in the
event of receiving the money for their
mines at a much earlier date than the
bonds call for, will grant the company a
liberal cash discount from the bonded
price, says the White Pine News.
Interested in the proposition are some
ten or fifteen residents of this section
who have tied up to the company fifteen
mining claims, the bonds upon which call
for the eventful payment OF approxi-
mately $25o,O00.

the mine, prove beyond doubt that the
White Pine people have in the Ruth

What Advertising g
Will Do.

Nevada is striking example of the
value OF advertising. In less than five
years ii has become the most talked
about State in the union, its population
has greatly increased and its many ma
tural resources are being exploited as
never before. This has all come about
by making l. known that the battle.
born state contained something besides
cactis and sagebrush.
To day Nevada is synonymous with
mining, to speak of the one is to instant
ly call to mind the other.
