Government Will
Bring Suit.
To Cancel Lands Patented
to the Central Pacific
Railroad in Nevada.

A matter of tremendous moment
to the mining interests of Nevada
was taken up w the Interior De
partmeat at Washington Monday
when Secretary Hitchcock issued
an order directing that a hearing
be held at Carson, Nevada, at an
early date preliminary to the Gov
ernment filing suit to cancel the
patent to $4,000 acres of land held
in theWhite Horse Mining Dis
trict by the Central Pacific Rail-
way Company, located 30 miles
east of Reno.
The order was issued after oral
argument had been made by S. s.
Downer and K. G. O'Brien of Reno
before the Assistant United States
Attorney General and four of the
ablest lawyers of the Interior De-
partment The Nevada attorneys
scored complete success and the
suit to which the Government has
committed itself will be far-reach-
ing.
1t is believed that when this suit
has been disposed of the Govern
ment will next proceed to attack
the patents held by the Central
Pacific in the mining districts in
the vicinity of Unionville, Mill
City, Ryepatch, Loveiock and else
where along the line of the road in
Washoe, Storey, Lyon, Humboldt,
Eureka and Elko counties in Ne
vada.
1t is reported in Washington
that the Nevada parties succeeded
in interesting President Roosevelt
in tGeir case aud that he gave it
his personal attention before it was
laid before the Interior Depart
ment.
The attorneys in the case are in
the employ of the Buster Mining
Company and have been represent
ing J. A. Ingalls, against whom n
suit was lodged by the Railroad
Company, which was trying to de-
priye him of valuable mineral
eral lands near Olinghouse, Ne
yada.-Reno Gazette.

Will flake Appeal
for Dwyer.


was brought to this city yesterday
by Officer Murphy, of Lander
county and taken to the state prison
where the death watch was set.
Under the sentence Dwyer will be
hanged on January 25th, but every
effort will be made TO save his life
and his attorneys Patrick McCar-
ran aud j. F. Dennis are already
preparing to file an appeal in the
supreme court for new trial.
"We have number of grounds
upon which to base our appeal"
said Mr.. McCarran to News rep
resentative last evening" the prin-
cipal two being that the court erred
in not giving us change of venue
when We filed three seperate mo-
tions for it and that three of the
jury which found Dwyer guilty
were prejudiced and sdmitted that
fact. We expect to file the appeal
within a few days and there is no
question in my mind but that
new trial will be secured.
"At the time of the murder
Dwyer was mentally unbalanced
from excessive use of alchoI. He
had left Manhattan a short time
before suffering from delirium tre-
mems and soon after his arrival at
Austin quarreled with another
gambler named, O'Brien. His op-
ponent was a much larger man and
Dwyer knew that he was not his
match physically. When they
separated O'Brien remarked that
the next time they met, 'Dwyer had
better come a shooting That
evening Dwyer in his drunken
dazed condition saw Williams and
County Recorder Dyer and mis-
took Williams for O'Brien and
opened fire, resulting in the mur-
der.
1T took US three weeks to secure
jury in the case. We exhausted
three venires and finally summon
ed every person on the registration
list and when the jury was finally
secured there were only three men
out of the jurymen were prejudic
ed in the matter.
There is no question but that
Dwyer was intoxicated and suffer
ing from ale coholic insanity and
three of the best physicians in the
state were there and willing to sign
the necessary papers to have him
committed to the insane hospital.
DwYER INTERVIEWED.
Dwyer gave out the following
statement:
81 killed Williams and can't
deny it, but l was intoxicated at
the time and mistook him for
O'Brien. the gambler WHO had
threatened to shoot me on sight.
II have been sentenced to be
hanged but l think that Patsy Nc
Carran and Dennis will be able to
secure a hearing in the supreme
court. / care not for myself but
for my two children and for my
aged father and mother. 1t would
kill my parents to know that their
boy is murderer and if Il am
hung and my little children ever
find out they will remember that
and their fathers fate during the
remainder of their lives will haunt
them forever.
IL would rather die a thousa I'd
deaths than to have them know
that / had been convicted for mur-
der, aud if l give up my life on the
gallows it will be worse. Oh, that
anything would happen to me be-
fore that time. | would rather be
shot or to die any terrible death
than to be executed according to
the sentence of the law. 1t is a
disgrace that l would leave for my
children to suffer that makes Inc
fear the gallows. Carson News
