DWYER TO
HANG.

Last Wednesday night, Oct. 17th
about two and one-half hours at
ter the jury had been instructed in
the Dwyer case, they brought in a
verdict Of murder in the first de-
gree, and on November 21st Judge
Breen will sentence Dwyer to be
hanged. The wanton killing of A. @.
Williams, O nest estimable young
man, on July s1st of this year, by
Dwyer, is the cause of the verdict.
The testimony in the case show
ed Dwyer to be dangerous man
with total disregard for human
life. His feeble defense of insan-
ity was the only available thing to
save him from the gallows and,
that having absolutely failed, it
looks as though Dryers day of
crime IL over.
This is not his first murder, as
he served term in Montana for
killing man known as Panhandle
Bob," being pardoned through the
efforts of his wife, who has since
died.
The verdict meets with the ap-
proval of the people. Dwyer has
friends who have done everything
in their power to help him in his
defense, and the manner in which
his case was managed shows that
they have plenty of money which
is at his disposal, but SO far it has
availed them nothing.
When the verdict was read,
Dwyer turned white, but otherwise
appeared to control his feelings. 1t
is said that after the reading of the
verdict, Dwyer said well / will
play the string OUT but it is be-
lieved that he has ''cashed in his
checks. .'-Reveille.

A Car of Ore Worth
q Million.

A carload of ore will be shipped
in the near future from the Hayes
Monnette lease on the Mohawk
that will contain 81, 100000 worth
Of gold. The car will have ca
pacity of 80 tons which would
mean an average value of $40, 900
for each 1900 pounds. Sacks of
high grade are being piled up in
one corner of the big chamber and
a man with a gun is earning So for
shift Of 8 hours as watchman. :
One of these days that ore will
be taken out from the under
ground vault and in a few hours it
will be in a car and speeding over
the desert to either San Francisco,
Salt Lake or Denver, and it will
go on express time and with armed
guards.
In one day in Aspen, Colo, in
one of the big mines something
like $350,000 worth of silver ore
was hoisted in "a hours and that
is the worlds record up to date.
The Mohawk ore will be hoisted
in few of the "a hours and the
value will be three times greater.
Some eight years back a carload
shipment of few pounds over q
tons was made from the Isabella
mine in Cripple Creek that was
worth $2l9,6OO. 1t was quartz
worth a little over over 5000 a
ton or 81 a pound. The check in
settlement was photographed and
has been used ever since by those
interested in advertising the rich
ness of Cripple Greek. That was
and still is the most valuable car
load of gold bearing rock that was
ever shipped from any mine'in the
world. But the Goldfeld carload
will be worth five times as much

Nevada Superior
Wants Railroad
Patent Cancelled.

At Carson Monday the 18th, Re-
ceiver fremont of the United
States land Office heard the case OF
the Nevada Superior Mines COM
pany, suit that was brought to
set aside certain patents gre nted 10
lands in Humboldt county to the
railroad company which are miner
al lands. "A decision will not be
handed down in the case for sew
eral weeks.
The suit is one of those growing
out of the patenting of mineral
lands in the State by the railroad
company, nnder their grant of all
odd numbered agricultural Sec
tions in the State for a distance of
twenty miles on either side of the
track. In the present case it is
stated that the railroad company
patented the land in question in
1904, at which time the mining
company had begun active devel-
opment work, having opened the
mine. The railroad, without the
knowledge Of the Superior people,
had the land patented, although
the land was not adapted to agri-
cultural purposes.
The railroad contends that they
had the section patented along with
a number of others, and did not
know that it contained mineral

Penny Wise and
Pound Foolish

San Francisco thought it wise to
save few dollars by suspending a
part of the city police for a time.
The people have found it to be a
costly experiment, for the calendar
of crime is greatly to be deplored-
Robberies, murders and lesser
crimes are of daily occurrence and
the end is notyet. The city seems
to be at the mercy of gang OF
numbering thugs, who have taken
advantage of the situation. There
has been talk of organizing a
"6O1," but Acting Mayor Gregory
says that cannot be done. The
people in their wild scramble fol
good government are ready ano
willing to do anything for the bet
ter protection of life and property
It was a foolish move on the par
of the city to reduce the number ol
policemen at a time when ordinary
business prudence should have
advised the increase OF the police
force instead of a reduction.

The Dwyer Verdict

Although the killing of Will
liams by Patsy Dwyer, was the re-
suit Of mistake, nevertheless the
verdict of the jury was most just
one.
In handling guns one cannot be
too careful, especially when on
such a fell mission as was Dwyer
Drastic steps must be taken to pro-
tect innocent citizens from the
wrath CT infuriated Individuals,
and besides, what is to become OF
society if every murderer be al
lowed to advance as justification
for bis deadly act, the plea that be
made a mistake aud such plea be
accepted. The taking of human
life is supposed to rest with the le-
gal authorities and when this pre-
ogative is usurped undue care
should be exercised to look before
you shoot. We repeat that under
the circumstances the verdict ol
the jury, which sat at Austin, was
most just,-Tonopah Bonanza.

Girls of University For

Cries of woe resound through
Manzanita hall at the State univer-
sity and the fair damsels who are
getting knowledge injected will
not be comforted and all because
their hot tamale supply has been
cut of.
1t appears that for years when
the north winds howled and the
snow hurried the co-eds gathered
about their fires and sucked at
tamales wrapped in corn husks--
but now all this has changed
through the latest -ultimatum OF
the matron, who has just issued an
edict that hereafter she will open
all packages that come into the
place after dark, and that tamales,
etc., are tabooed.
But there is more to come. The
tamale man has become enraged
and has ordered his ad. taken out
of the college paper. and threatens
further boycott. Meanwhile the
girls are sad, the tamale man
angry. and the matron sits stern
and silent in accordance with
those pictured in story books.
