THE OFFICIAL BEAR HUNTERS.

The Governor And Deputy state Treas
urer Make Great Kills.
At last accounts the Governor and
Frank Wildes were in Grizzley Hollow,
some where back Of Lake Tahoe kill
ing bear as fast as they could load
and fire. These two gentlemen are
the oficial bear hunters for the State
and are sent out by the Board Of Capt.
tol Commissioners every fall to keep
the bears Of the Sierras from over
running the country. Incidentally
they supply genuine bear meat to tha
people Of Carson.
Recently some was received at this
Office. At first when we heard the
news that these men had killed a
grizzly there was some doubts in our
minds, but after we tackled thsy piece
of bear steak that was sent down for
us to sample we knew that a genuine
grizzley had been brought to his final
account. That he was an old resident
of that section we had no doubt. He
was roaming those savage wilds in '49
and entitled to a Pioneer certificate.
OF course the meat was deliciously
tender but if you run it few times
through a good stout mangling ma
chine it certainly improves the fla
vor.

THE BURNS CONFESSION.
District Attorney Of Washoe County
Gives His Views on the Case.


District Attorney Of Washoe County
Gives His Views on the Case.
District Attorney Craig Of Washoe
county, upon being informed Of the
confession ii Burns to the crime
charged to Cristie and Sabin, made
the following statement to the Journal
reporter:
Il do not think that the alleged
confession Of James Burns IL worthy
OF serious consideration. It is an oil
trick OF criminals to attempt to save
one another by means of pretended
confessions, and it is a well settled
law that man cannot be convicted
upon his own confession alone. Burls
knows well that he runs no. risk ct
Brewery saloon by reason of the
statement he is alleged to have made
''The whole affair is simply a plot
Matched up by the willy James Sabin,
one of the most cunning and desper-
ate criminals ever brought to justice
in this state, while Sabin and Burns
were confined together at the county
Jail here. Sabin hopes that such
! confession may influence the board
of pardons, or may cause the Supreme
Court to grant new trial on the
grounds of newly discovered evidence.
''But the people of this State are
not to be humbugged by any sucn
trumped up confession as Burns is said
to have made. 1t is about as clumsy
as the attempted alibi of Cristie in the
trial, when he tried to prove by the
clock he had set ahead two hours.
''The sworn testimony of man Of
the integrity and standing of ex-Sher-
if John Hayes is not to be swept ligh'-
ly aside by the statement of con-
victed felon, who seeks to aid his fell
low convicts, Sabin and Cristie.s
s'The twelve upright citizens who
sat upon the jury in the case of the
State VS.. Sabin and Cristie have moth
ing to regret or apologize for. Had
Burns come forward at the trial and
produced his absurd confession the
verdict would have been the same.
Many of the gentlemen who sat
upon the jury at the trial of Sabin
1 and Cristie were also upon the jury
which found Burns guilty of assault.
At his own trial Burns testified that
he never came to Reno in his life IN
til August of this year. If he now
swears that he was here on July 5th,
although he will never be tried for
robbery, the matter of indicting him
for perjury will be presented to the
grand jury of Washoe county at the;,
next session in December.

my Office week ago, from a person
not connected with the Washoe count
officials, had reason to expect soma

Prison.
The date Of execution was reset
yesterday morning in Judge Curriers'
Court in Reno. to which the prisoners
were taken the evening before.
SEWER asked permission to speak
before the date was fixed. It was
granted and he delivered an impos-
stoned appeal to the court, occupying
half an hour and astonishing the
crowd in the Court room with his elo-
quence. He said that he and his
companions were not prepared to die.
an6Nhe asked the court for the long
est possible stay of execution. In re-
setting the date Judge Curler was
visibly affected and there was 81
lence that could be felt.
Sheriff Ferrel and his deputies will
bring the condemned men back to
their cells at the State Prison this
morning.
In an interview with the Reno Jour-
nal before the fixing Of the sentence
the men made the following state
ments:
AL Linderman, who has confessed
the crime, said, as he lit cigarette:
II feel perfectly contented with the
outcome of the case, under the cir-
cumstances. I have been anxious TO

the use of going any farther? I feel
that the quicker I am in my grave
the better. It is terrible blow to

SEWER was then seen, and said.
There is nothing more to be done.
