TWO INDIANS HANG
FOR CRUEL MURDER.

Johnny and Ibopah, the Elko
Indian murderers, paid the pen
atty on the gallows at the State
prison in Carson, every effort on
the part of their attorneys to Sc
cure a communication of sentence
to life Imprisonment having fail
ed. The hanging Of the two
Indians marks a departure from
the unreasonable custom follow
ed for so many years in this
State of committing the sentences
of Indian murderers to life
Imprisonment.
The crime of Johnny and
Ibapah was one of the most
atrocious ever committed in the
State. The scene was at Montel-
10, a small station near Elko, and
the victim, wanderer and a
cripple afterward ascertained to
be Fred Foreman.
1t appears that Foreman had
sought refuge in an old abandon
ed hut and the Indians went to
the place and after cutting his
throat placed his body on a fire
of old ties and coal and went
away leaving it smouldering.
One of the pair, Johnny, confess
sed that he proposed killing the
man and that he held his hands
while Ibapah slashed the victims
threat with knife.
Wednesday night Johnny at
tempted suicide in his cell by
slashing his wrists with a jagged
piece of iron which he had brok
en- from his cot. The weapon
was taken away from him b!
the guard before he succeeded
in doing much damage.

Our County Jail.

Once again a recommendation
has been sent to the County Com
missioners requesting that they
give the matter of building a
a new Jail their immediate at
tention, this was done by the
recent grand jury, and we hope
it will not meet with the same
inconsiderate manner as the
numerous other recommendations
covering the same subject has,
coming from Grand Juries, The
District Judge, Sheriff and
citizens at large.
Had it not been for Sheriff
Johnson keeping the jail renov-
ated and as clean as it was pos
sible during the months of the
crowded conditions, the health
and probably the life of the init
mates would have been at stake
and a damage suit that would
cost the county five jailS and
cast a niggardly censure upon
our county that could never be
cleared; and will no doubt be
the outcome if the Commission
ers fail to act.
Let the new board who takes
their offices on the first of jan
uary look this need over and
take action Immediately.

NEVADA'S GOLD
YIELD IN 1907

Eleven million dollars in new
gold will be produced by Nevada
during the present year, and in
1907 $20,000,000 worth of gold
will be mined in that State.
This prediction is made by
Director of the Mint Roberts,
who is just back from tour of
inspection of the western mining
camps. Gold mining is booming
in Nevada, he says, and feverish
activity prevails throughout the
entire region. Railroads are be-
ing constructed to promise the
development of the mines, and
every available foot Of ground in
the vicinity of the valuable mines
is being staked off. The great
finds of gold have made numer-
Gus mllllonalrs, and incidentally
have brought into existence a
plethora of wildcat companies.
One of the latest methods de-
cided upon to advertise the great
gold country is to run a train to
the smelling works at Salt Lake
City laden with 81, 900, 900 worth
of gold ore, Director Roberts
says that 1T is asserted by men
competent to judge that a copper
region has recently been dis.
covered in Nevada that will riva

a Sad rate.

A touching story is told by
friends of Clarence A. Bradley,
divorced husband of the slayer
of Former U. S. Senator Of Utah
Arthur Brown, Mrs Anna Brad
ley and from similar experience
behind many a man lies a sad
story; many a poor drunken and
begraggled wretch that we look
upon with adherence and disgust
as we walk our streets, might
tell a story such as this.
To repose confidence in those
we love and then to have it be-
lrayed is the hardest blow that
can befall a human being; those
who are generous enough to give
their honor, happiness, fortune
and even life itself if need be to
others can find little solace in
pursuing riches or earning the
respect of their fellowmen, when
memory is forever arousing the
blighted past to haunt them
So they squander life with a
reckless hand and soon fall an
easy victim to the fiery demon
drink which is but the first
chapter in the final career, being
followed by crime, a .felons eel
and last an unknown and un
honored grave, with sensure anc
without pity.
The following article clipped
from the Salt Lake Herald will
explain itself.
Clarence A. Bradley, divorced
husband of Anna M. Bradley
was sent to the state penitentary
from Reno for embezzlemen
about three years ago. BRADLEY
served a year and half and wa
pardoned. He has since disap
peared and nothing more ha
been heard Of him in the state.
Bradley came to Reno abou
four years ago and obtained EN-
ployment as a book keeper fo
the ]. r. Bradley company, tn
largest wholesale and retat
hardware firm in the state. H

went from bad to worse.

CATHOLIC MEMORIAL SERVICES
Requiem Mass Is Celebrated at ST
Mary's Cathedral

For the repose of the souls of the
departed members of the Young Mems
Catholic Union, requiem mass was
held yesterday morning at ST. Mary's
Cathedral. The mass was the annual
services for the organization and was
well attended
Father Joseph F. Byrne. grand chap
lain of the union, officiated. He is the
pastor of st. Johns Church of Napa
and came to San Francisco for the
purpose of celebrating the mass. Father
Hannigan served as deacon. Father
Ramm as subdeacon and Father Sulli-
van as master of ceremonies. Follow
ing the formal service Father Byrne
delivered sermon
Father Byrne began by thanking
the audience for being present on the
occasion. Charity for the dead was
better in way, he explained, than
charity for the living. When something
is done for the living there is some
return in the form of thanks, but for
the dead there could be no return ex-
preston of appreciation. When people
pass away from the active scenes of
the world they are too often forgotten,
which is to be lamented Praying for
the repose of the souls of the departed
is beneficial for both the living and
the dead, and it reminds us that we.
too, must soon join those who have
gone 1t prompts US to live better
lives and to treat our fellow beings
better in order to prepare ourselves
for death.

HOPEFUL OF FUTURE
Rev. w. f. Hayes Sounds Keynote of
Conditions in This City
At the morning service in Trinlt,

At the morning service in Trinity
Church Rev. DR.. Clampett apologized
for the absence of Rev. ]. p. Turner,
who was i'll, and said foreword for
Rev w f. HAYES, who chose as his
subject ''Hopefulness for the Future.
The speaker said in part: Thank
fulness for the past implies hopeful
ness for the future. If man has
nothing to look forward to, the bless
ings he has enjoyed in the past prlng
him little satisfaction 1t is the pres
ent and the future that stimulate the
spirit of thanksgiving. The past is
necessary as furnishing the founda-
tion. hut foundation without a super
structure is like a fig tree that bears
nothing but leaves: it fails to perform
the function for which it was created.
How are we to get this faith? Ger
tainly not by any cheap optimism
which ignores facts. The world is full
of wrongs that must be righted: We
are not to excuse or minimize evil, nor,
on the other hand, should we allow
ourselves to be defeated by ii. II
nresent conditions are far from being
the most agreeable, there is something
exhilarating IN the sheer grit that is
needed to cope with them. Make the
most out of the least of the favors
which fortune has showered upon you.
How remarkable IL is that many of
our late calamity have borne them
selves so cheerfully and uncomplain-
ingly If the present has left us this
much surely we have no reason to be
anxious about the future.
I'm the third place, get your faith
from it's true source. the in-dwelling
presence of the Holy Spirit. God has
not abandoned US absolutely in these
DAYS of trial. Outwardly ne may not
give us at once what we seek. He has
reasons for Withholding, and some day
we shall learn them. But in the mean
while we have him. 1t does not seem
SO, just now, but there are indications
everywhere of It's becoming so eventu-
ally righteousness is getting the up
per hand, and slowly but surely evil in
all it's forms in public and private life
is being exposed and denounced and
thwarted--as it should be.
Make the most of all such indica-
tons Be hopeful yourself. and you
will add an impetus to the great mass
Of hopefulness that will, by and by
spread over the world.
Then. finally. when your faith, so far
as this world is concerned, grows dim,
there is always left the faith in immor-
tality Whatever else we may lose in
life nothing can deprive US Of that.
