was renewed today with increased vi
gor.
In addition to destroying stocks of
liquor and bar fixtures c. w. Trickett,
the assistant attorney general appoint

owned by brewing companies.
Today Assistant Attorney General

ME, Who Is Under Sentence of Death
Father Old and Weary.
The Carson Appeal of yesterday con
tains a graphic account of the appea
for the life of their son by the parents
of Indian Johnnie, now under sen
tence of death at the state prison. We
print the article in full below:
A tragic and pathetic scene was en-
acted this morning in the Office of the
governor when the father, mother and
two sisters of Indian Johnnie sat around
the executive and begged for Johnnie 8
life.
The family came all the way from
Utah to make their plea for clemency
and had an interpreter with them
The law that allows them to ride OIL
trains free of charge helped them to
that portion of the expense of the
Journey, and the kind offices of In
dian friends supplied them with food.
When they arrived this morning
they were travel weary and hungry
but the interpreter hurried them t
the governors office and they sat in
a circle, Indian fashion, around til
big desk in the executive chamber
while the interpreter talked.
The father, old and weary, sat il
an upholstered chair Ior the first time
in his long life. As he sank down
in its depth, he lapsed and lapsed
his stolid face dropped and dropped,
until he passed into sleep, while
the interpreter and the governor talked
on.
The mother, like mothers the world
over, sat with eyes and ears alert.
Not for one moment did she take her
eyes from the governors face and she
watched every word he said with cat
like eagerness, trying to catch one
single phrase of little English she
knew that might convey a ray of
hope to her aching heart.
The interpreter talked on and on,
in the high flown language of the In.
dian the continent over. The governor
sat and listened and listened and the
mother watched and watched until at
last the interpreter concluded with
a flourish and asked if his prayer
for clemency might be considered.
81 guess Johnnie, he hang re
piled the governor, "for there is nc
doubt about the Indians guilt and
participation in one of the foulest
crimes ever committed in the state.
ct guess so, too returned the in
terpreter.
The mother saw that the %harrangus
was over and she shot a few swift
words at the interpreter, but that
worthy gave her very little satisfac
ltion, like all males of his tribe con
sidering the poor heart broken
mother little else than a beast of
burden, and taking no account of her
suffering.
As there was nothing more to say,
the interpreter woke up the father,
called to the girls and with a flourish
of hands, the family left the chamber
the sleepy old father, who feared his
life was in danger because he came
following his guide philosopher and
friend, who was able to get nc re
prieve for Johnnie more than the
law extends.
The family visited the prison and
saw Johnnie, and will probably go at
once back to Utah. as they are
strangers in a strange land, and the
Indian loves his home place the best.

BLINDED BATS.
They Proved Tbemselves Indepeod-
 ent of the Sense of sight.

|
 Bats are remarkably independent of the sense of sight A naturalist de scribes some experiments demOnstrat ang this fact Covering the eyes of 8 bat with wax, he released the creatui ln a room. It first of all made its way to the door, but instead of striking ehis lowered a few inches off, slowly making its way along the top edge and bown the side, apparently guided by he incoming draft of air Next a Thorough exploration of the room was made, and throughout the examination 1t never once struck either chairs or table and swerved aside when a stick |was placed in its path. As result bf this experiment naturalists believe hat bats have an acute perception of Atmospheric currents and vibrations resident in the nerves of the wing membranes.
 This matter was thoroughly investi- gated so long ago as 1793 when, by the .ruel experiment of blinding the ami nals, it was shown that they could gross room across which silken breads were stretched in such way ls to leave just sufficient space for hem to pass between with outstretch d wings. They not only succeeded in passing the threads without touching hem, but they avoided with equal ease he walls and ceiling. Even when the breads were placed still nearer togeth- 1T they managed, by contracting the wings, to pass without contact Branch IS of trees were similarly avoided, and when tired they suspended themselves pn the walls of the room as easily as if hey enjoyed the use of sight.
 From this 1t was inferred that these creatures possess a marvelously deli late sense of touch in the wing mem- branes. But it is also regarded as probable that this is increased by the xpansion of the skin of the external ar and by the development of folds f skin on the nose and muzzle. In ome bats, indeed a perfect rosette f such skin is developed in the latter legion, as in the 'leaf nosed" bats, nd it is supposed that the additional bbe of the ear, known as the "tragus," erforms a similar Chicago News
